Hey. This is Peeta Mellark. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you. Thanks.

[Action ✖ Voice ✖ Text ✖ Video]

Peeta, it's Saul. If Effie seems upset or mad or like she wants to kill someone, it's my fault and that "someone" is me. We broke up.

So I heard. Saul...

[He likes Saul, he really does. He's so confused and overprotective of Effie, and yet, he doesn't quite want to break that thread between them. He leaves the ellipses, not quite sure what to say, if he should be angry or sad.]

I screwed up real bad.

Can I check in with you every so often to make sure she's doing okay? I'd ask her, but I don't think she wants to talk to me. Ever again, maybe. For which I do not blame her, but it still sucks.

No! It's not fair what you did to her! I thought you were good.

[He sends the next message immediately, embarrassed by his first message.] I'm sorry. I don't want to break all connection. It's just that I trusted you, and you hurt Effie. She's the closest thing I have to family here. You can check in with me, I guess. I don't want to be mad at you. I like you. But I am mad.

[Well damn. Saul stares at his tablet for a moment, frowning. Then:]

I know it wasn't fair, I know I'm an asshole, and I'm mad at me, too.

I'm sorry. She didn't deserve what I did to her.

[He feels a little bad now. Saul's probably been yelled at by all parties involved.] I didn't mean that. I'm sorry. You've probably suffered enough for your mistake. No need for me to add to it. I just have kind of a temper.

Are you okay?
