The Boy Next Door (Everlark)[Discontinued]

Chapter 13

Katniss' POV
After The Mall.

Peeta is just too much for me. As we got out of the mall it took a while for Peeta, Ryan and Prim to put their stuff in the car and I swear he has brought too much for Prim and I. There was a total for 8 shopping bags full of stuff Peeta brought for Prim. I swear I was not going to owe Peeta money back. As I walked up to Peeta, I grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him closer to me. He seems startled, but calm. "Yes?" He questions. I wanted to say thank you but that's not all. "Do I have to owe you any money?" I ask. He gives me a look that says I'm crazy but at the same time, he's hot so I can't blame him. "No, it's okay," he answers. My mouth drops open expecting another answer. He did not just say that, did he? I don't have to owe him? Of course I do. He wasted $500 and I still have my $100 in my wallet. "You wasted money on me Peeta," I reply. "I do owe you a lot." "No, don't worry," he says. "But thank you for trying." I give him a smile and we all head for the car. Prim and Ryan are in their phones as usual. Oh kids. On their phones. :( I turn to Peeta and there he is. So focused driving yet so careful. He looks at me when the red light was on.

"Look Katniss, I really don't want you to suffer of doing anything for me. If you don't want to owe me, you don't have to." He says. He wants to say more, I can see it but the green lights have turned on so he can't say more. He has turned back to driving and I'm bored, trying to get music to help me. It hasn't sadly. To keep me company I decided to text my mom.

Me- Mom, I'm on my way home.

Mom- Sweetie I'm at work but lunch is at the house waiting for you.

Me- Okay Mommy.

Mom- Okay, I'm Busy. So see you at 7.

Me- Okay.

I really needed someone right now. Before I knew it, Peeta has parked the car right in front of the house. I turned back to the phone and as I turned to the right, Peeta has opened the door for me. Oh, wow. I was totally not paying attention.

The movie was getting boring. I was watching Pitch Perfect 2 with Prim, Peeta and Ryan. Even Ryan seems bored so I sat next to him so I could talk to him. "I'm bored," he says. "But I really like Prim." Prim is fast asleep so she can't hear him. For the words Ryan said, I felt happy but I don't know how Prim feels either. She might reject him cause she knew that he had a girlfriend.

Two Months Later:

Peeta and I have the best relationship in the world. But Prim and Ryan are not together. Rory and Gale came back to District 12 and at the moment. Rory asked Prim out and Ryan and Peeta were there. Peeta was shocked and Ryan was upset. She said yes and she's obviously happy. Right now, Prim was babbling about her date with Rory tonight. "What should I wear?" She asks. "A dress with flats," I assure. "With nice flats to look decent." I didn't want to help her on this but I was too good of a sister. "Okay, what color?" She asks. And she just keeps going. "White," I say. She ignores me and picks out a pink dress. "That's perfect." I roll my eyes and leave. My sister was changing too much.

Before I knew it, she left with Rory. That one person I didn't want Prim to be with. He was a bad boy and I didn't want him harming my little sister. "So, how's Prim?" A voice asks. I turn around to see Ryan. "Why are you here?" I ask.  "I used your spare key you gave to Peeta," he responds. "He has to finish a shift at the bakery." I look at his blue eyes and I just couldn't help but wrapping my arms around him for a hug. "I know, you're upset," I say to him. "Yeah, I am," he says. "I just can't stand Prim being with someone else." I know how he feels. If Peeta dated someone else, I would say the same exact thing. "I know," I respond. "Do you want anything?" He gives me a shake of his head. He also takes out a book full of drawings and I examine them without him noticing him. I can't believe it! Even a little kid can draw better than me!!!!! Ughhhh!!!! I feel stupid. "Nice drawings," I get out. Damn it! He might think I'm a stalker. I think of a song Prim used to sing all the time.

In my dreams, you're standing right beside me

Two Hearts finally colliding

When I wake up, and realize... realize this is real life. :(

(Real Life - Demi Lovato)

Ryan gives me a drawing of Prim and Me. I got to admit, he draws almost like Peeta except that Peeta does one thing different from anyone. I don't know what though. As I knew Ryan was heartbroken, I knew this was not what he wanted.

And this was not what I wanted either.
