Always

Chapter 24: Help

I wake up to Peeta looking at the tv. "Peeta?" I mumble. Did he stay up all night?

He looks down at me, his hair is sticking up in all places, he has bags under his eyes. "Did you stay up all night?"

He nods. I sigh, "why would you do that?" His face falls. "I couldn't sleep."

I frown. "I'm sorry." I kiss him softly. "I'll go get breakfast and you-" I point at him. "-stay here and get some sleep."

"But-" I stop him by leaning down and kissing him. "Nope. You need sleep." I look at the time.

10:08

I frown at him. "Did you get any sleep after the call?" He shakes his head, and stands in front of me. His arms wrapping around my waist. My arms go around his neck.

"Who called? Why?" I ask, leaning my forehead against his. He looks away, not meeting my eyes. "Peeta?" Then his eyes meet mine, his filled with tears.

"What's wrong?" He holds me tighter. "I c-can't lose y-you, Katniss." I look at him, wiping his stray tears away.

"Why would you lose me?" He looks at me, his eyes looking into mine, making my heart flutter. "Because-" But his stomach growling interrupts us.

I laugh. "Tell me when you get back. Don't want you starving." He laughs a little.

Then his blue eyes meet my grey ones, once again. Those blue eyes I get lost in every time I look at them. I smile, making him smile.

"I love you so much, Katniss." I know his words are true, because every time he tells me he looks at me, with love in his eyes.

"I love you too, Peeta. So much." I say. Then he leans down and kisses me passionately, like this is the last kiss we will have.

I kiss him back with as much passion, never wanting to let go. But I do eventually break away. "Stay with me." He whispers, as I back away towards the door.

"Always." I whisper, blowing him an air kiss. He catches it and puts it in his pocket, I giggle.

"No need to do that. There is plenty more saved up for you when I come back." He smiles and I smile back, walking at the door and into the chilly air.

I pull my hoodie up closer to me. I look down and smile. This is Peeta's hoodie. Which is mine. I smile, I love him so much it hurts.

I make my way towards the bakery. Just as I'm about to walk in, someone grabs the back of my hoodie and pulls me away. I can't scream because the hoodie is choking me.

I'm then thrown to the ground, hitting my head on the ground making my vision go blurry. "Hello Kitty."

I feel myself being lifted up, I kick and scream hoping to get away from this persons grip. But I'm then punched in the stomach, making me scream out in pain.

"Shut it!" I hear the person behind me say. Silent tears stream down my face, I should of stayed with Peeta.

Then I feel a fist make contact with my jaw. I then again scream out in pain, losing focus of my vision. "That should do it." The other person says.

I open my eyes a little and see two men standing in front of me, they push me onto the ground, rolling me onto my stomach. "No." I whimper.

"Shh. Kitty." One of the men growl. I feel my hands being tied behind my back, and my legs being tied.

They lift me up and I scream. "Help me! He-" I'm then again punched in the stomach, making me scream more.

"Please! Let me go!" I plead. I hear the men laugh. "We're not letting you go. Ever." More tears fall.

I'm lifted off the ground and I kick and scream. "Help!" But I then feel a cloth over my mouth. I breath in and I feel drowsy. No.

My eyes then close and I think of all the moments with Peeta. Him kissing me. Him making me cheese buns. His smile. His bright blue eyes. His warm arms wrapped around me.

I love you so much, Peeta. Always. I hope he knows that.

I let a silent tear fall, then I pass out.
