Reuniting Our Lives

Same Old Routine

*Katniss's POV*

I wake up hearing the clamouring in my kitchen. Sae and her granddaughter are here making me breakfast, ensuring that I eat and stay alive. I just sink further into my blankets and hide from the awful world that I live in.

Every day is the same. I wake up, eat some food that Sae makes, go back to bed, wake up again, eat some dinner, go back to bed. It's an endless cycle.

For months, this is how my life was. I wouldn't do anything else. I hadn't bathed since I was in custody in the Capitol for killing Coin. And even then, it wasn't my choice.

After many months of seeing a single white rose while I slept, I finally had a nightmare. In a way, I welcomed it, since it was a long time since I'd seen something out of my routine. Other than the entire life that I had dreamt up.

Everyone that I had killed was pouring shovel after shovel full of soil on my body as I was still alive. Each of them saying horrid things to me. Even my sister. I could hear the scraping of each shovel, and I couldn't get it to stop. But I deserved it. I stopped screaming and let them bury me alive, knowing that it would bring them solace, and I would no longer have to live with myself.

I woke with a start, still able to hear the shovelling in my head. I moved as fast as I could out of my house for the first time, tripping and falling on the stairs from the lack of muscle in my body. I shouldn't have malnourished myself so much. I just had to get out of the house that would forever haunt me. I had to go somewhere where there would be no memories.

I stopped dead in my tracks as soon as I opened my front door of my house in the Victor's Village. There, digging a hole in my yard with a wheelbarrow filled with roses was someone that I thought I'd never see again. Peeta.

I wanted to scream at him. How dare he plant roses in my yard? Then the full name came to me: primrose. Tears started to well up in my eyes, and I turned back to go into my house. Seeing Peeta again after all this time, and the primroses reminding me of my sister was too much for me to bear. I sat against the front door, sobbing, overcome by everything that had happened in the past few minutes. I fell asleep crying hearing Peeta in the background calling my name.

A/N: Here's the first chapter of the sequel! I hope you guys liked it. It kinda copied out of the book, but it'll get original. I promise.
