The Story of Two

Bleeding Out

Chapter One

I just sit there on the floor for what seems like hours. Then Peeta walks in through the back door. He seems distant... then again aren't we all. "Katniss I-" he looks down at my bloody wrist and becomes himself again. "What happened?" he asked obviously becoming worried. Instead of telling him the truth about how I cut it to see if I could still feel pain, i lied. "Tripped' I said not really giving a crap, but he saw straight threw it. Of course I could never lie in the first place. "Katniss" he said waiting for me to protest or something but I didn't. I looked up at him, my eyes locked with his. "Come on, get up" he said offering a hand. "No" I said shoving it away.

"You're going to bleed to death"

"Maybe I want to" my voice sounding harsher than I meant it to.

He picked me up and carried me in his arms up the stairs. I was to weak to fight so I didn't. He set me gently on my feet in my bathroom and started tending to my wrist. "Peeta stop it. Its no use-" "Katniss, you took care of me in The Games whither you know it or not. This is the least I can do" he said wrapping the last bit of bandage around my wrist. "Peeta-" "Look Katniss I don't know if you still love me or if you ever did, but I will always and forever love you" he paused. "And The Capitol could never take that away" he said intertwining my hands with his. "Even though you tried to kill me?" I said jokingly. He laughed. "Even though I tried to kill you" he repeated. I did the most stupidest yet smartest thing in my whole life. I leaned in and kissed Peeta.
