It was a cold day. Three weeks had passed since Panem was liberated. I sat in the doorway and looked outside at the rain. Haymitch came over and sat next to me. "How is your mother?" I didn't look at him." Fine." " Okay, what are you worried about? " I was staring at the house across the street. " About him?" " Depends on who you mean by 'him'." " Peeta?" I looked at him." Maybe." " Did you talk to each other?" " No. Well... not much. " " Then just go over there. " " What do you want me to say? " " What do I know. You're the one who loves him," he said, laughing." Don't say that," I replied, annoyed." Now go and don't take root here!" Reluctantly, I got up and walked to Peeta's front door. It's not that I don't know what I feel. It's just that I don't want to feel it. It almost felt like I've been completely different since the last few weeks than I was before the new Panem.

My hands were shaking as I knocked.
" Katniss!" He looked at me, startled." Come on in, you're going to get all wet!" I entered his house and looked around. On his windowsill was a pot of flowers." Oh do you like them? I..thought maybe you would since they are Prim's favorite flowers."
" Were."
I corrected emotionlessly and sat down on his couch." Are you okay?" " As well as I can be." He sat down next to me." I'm sorry. " " It's okay." Silence reigned between us for the next few minutes until Peeta stood up. " Do you want me to make dinner for us?" His face looked soft and loving, which didn't really fit this situation." Okay."

I followed him into the kitchen and watched him carefully." Katniss you're making me nervous. " he laughed embarrassed. " Oh ehm..sure. I'm sorry. " I was about to leave when he grabbed me." No, you stay here. I...feel safe when you're here." "Safe from what?" I laughed." Memories." he said bluntly.

His expression hurt my heart. " I know what you mean. " I said softly and watched him cut the vegetables. You could hear him crying." Peeta?" " Mh? Oh it's all right, it's just the onions." He laughed with an exasperated undertone. I turned him around and hugged him." I will always protect you." " I know Katniss." We looked into each other's eyes. My lips touched his and engaged us in a kiss. I didn't know why I had done this. But I broke off and ran out of the kitchen, down the hall and outside. At home, I closed the door and sank to the floor behind her. When I looked up, I saw familiar eyes. "Hey...Katniss..."

" Gale?! " " I know..I shouldn't be here.."
" You're absolutely right!" I jumped up. " But I miss you Katniss! " " I don't care! "
" And...I..." He looked down. "I love you, Katniss." Tears ran down my cheeks. "Gale, I don't want you in my life!" "But Peeta?" "Leave him out of this!" " Aren't you afraid he'll have a fit?" " That's my business, not yours!" He put his hands nervously on my shoulders. " I'm worried about you! What if this psycho kills you!? "

" Then I'll see Prim again!" I shouted angrily.

He let go of my shoulders. Silence reigned between us." One thing! One task I gave you!!! " I shouted through my tears. " I'm sorry!" " It's of no use to you anymore! Now get out of my house! "I opened the door angrily. But there stood Peeta who seemed to be about to knock." Gale?" he asked, confused. Gale looked at me sadly and left. I was about to close the door when Peeta pushed against it. " What?" " Can I stay here?" Uncertainly, I looked down." Alright."

At that same moment, Haymitch came around the corner." I'm sorry, but I had to let him in." Anger spread through me. " First you send me to Peeta's and then you let Gale into MY house too?!" I grabbed a vase within my reach and threw it at him. It narrowly missed him and shattered against the wall." Katniss!" cried Peeta anxiously. But I was not interested in that. " You know very well that I never wanted to see Gale again!!!" " Calm down! I thought-" " I don't care what you thought!" I yelled and tried to go for him, but Peeta held me back. In my rage I hit him and hit him awkwardly in the eye. With a scream he collapsed, snapping me out of my rage. But at the same moment that I looked to Peeta, I felt a needle in my neck. Immediately everything went black before my eyes.
