Katniss POV

It was too fucking early. It was only 6:00 am.

So basically, Prim was already gone with Rory and I'm still up under the covers. That's me guys. Irresponsible. I have to cook, clean, and do whatever chores left. I get up and ran down the stairs to go to Peeta's house. What? I love him too much. I grab a cereal, fell, got back up and went to the house. I was probably too fast because before you know it, I was on the floor because I hit my head on the door. I hear footsteps coming to the door. Great. I fell again. Nice job fate. I can hear the person opening the door and I let out one phrase.
"No! Please don't hurt me!"
But nobody was there. What? "Who's there?" I ask. I walk in and see nobody there. "Anyone home?" I call out. I walk in tired and at the same time, awake. I look around and see emptiness. Probably something accidentally opened the door.
But I was way smarter than that to come up with a conclusion.
I paced scared and hungry, trying to not tell anyone because I didn't want to risk losing anyone. Peeta would want me to tell him but I just didn't want anything to happen to him.

I didn't expect this. I walked to the painting of me that Peeta painted. Someone must've scratched it but don't think it was a tiny scratch. A knife went over it. And it can't be Peeta. Or Ryan. Or Prim. Or My Mom since she hates Peeta. Then Who? And why the fuck would they want to do this? I ran out looking for Peeta so I can cry basically. I'm weak. I know. I catch Peeta talking to a girl with red hair and I immediately ran up to him and the girl. "Girl, what the hell are you doing with my boyfriend?" I ask her. "Woah, he's not cheating on you Katniss," she says. "We are just friends and I have a boyfriend." I glare at her feeling stupid. "I'm Annie."
"Katniss."
"Cool."
"No but thank you."

"What's wrong?" Peeta asks. Oh shit he knows my feeling. Ughh why Katniss? Did you really have to let him know? "Ummm, nothing," I lie.
"You're lying."
"Fuck you."
"So what's wrong?"
I began to tell him everything because I couldn't keep it in anymore. I began to tell him about the door, my morning, how I fell and of course, the picture. He looks scared and alarmed as I speak, taking on every word. I love him and he loves me and he's probably scared for me. And trust me. I'm scared for him too and I can tell sometimes, we have the same feelings. "This is not good Katniss," he says. "And it's not just you Katniss who experienced this. I did too."
"What? When?" I ask curious.
"This morning," he answers. "Out of nowhere, a fire started at 5:30 am. The family called 911 and luckily, everyone escaped. Ryan though was badly hurt by the fire but he made it. With one broken arm and a swollen cheek."

I started to break down. Annie who was barley in the conversation rubbed my back and brought me a nice hot chocolate. Time has flown so fast it was now winter. "Thanks," I say gratefully. "I'm sorry." "No need," she says. "It's okay." Peeta wraps his arms around me as I cry again. I hate it how bad things happen to me.

God Peeta, I hope you're safe. You don't deserve any of this. I do.
