Burrying the Past

Chapter 19

Peeta's POV:

I walk around the room, doing favors and whatever else either Ted asks me to do. Who would have thought a wedding would be such a hard work for the best man? Specialy when the groom acts like Bridezilla. I bet not even Lizzie is being so full of hormones.

I knock on Ted's bedroom door and Eddie immediatly opens me the door. He's got his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance and he's mouth pressed in a straight line. I guess ted is driving him nuts as well. I enter the room, to see Ted fixing his hair.

"Okay. Everything is fine, the cutlery is really silver." I tell Ted.

"Thanks for checking, Peeta. If the cutlery wasn't of silver, I swear I'd freak. Lizzie's father is a complete ass, and I want the wedding to be perfect so that he likes me." Ted says.

I frown "I don't think how well the wedding goes is what will make him like you." I state. Ted simply shakes his head and starts messing with his tie, an incredibly annoying habbit he acquired just this morning.

"Are you sure the tie matches the suit? Does it look tacky?" Ted asks to no one in particular, probably trying to release his stress. Eddie throws his hands in the air and groans loudly. I simply roll my eyes.

Ted is right, it does look quite tacky what he's wearing, everything about every wedding is kind of tacky and silly. Throwing a huge party where you invite people you don't even know just because they share the same blood with you, while everyone congratulates you for the marriage and pretends to care about you for the day. The whole thing is over the top and annoying, and as a consequence, every single thing present in this ceremony is tacky, even if it isn't. And that includes Ted's suit. Still, I choose not to tell him these words, or else he'd flip like a bridezilla would, so I settle with a 'It looks fine.'

Eddie checks his watch "We should get going." he states.  I nod and Ted inhales nevously, starting to mess with his tie again. Eddie is the first one out the door, obviously excited that the ceremony is going to start and Ted will stop accting like some full of hormones pregnant woman.

Before leaving the room Ted turns towards me "How do I look?" he asks me.

I smirk before answering "I think your fiance will be very upset that you look more beautifull than her."

Ted chuckles, and I smile slightly. He takes another deep breath and walks out if the room, with me following right behind.

The ceremony goes smoothly, with no particularly big problem, beside the dog shit that Ted stepped over just outside the church and the older guy that I believe is from Lizzie's side of the family that trips in the carpet and falls to the ground, causing other people to trip on him and also fall to the ground. Lizzie doesn't go all run away bride and everyone shows up, her father (who really doesn't like Ted- I could see the glares he was sending him) walks her to the altar and some people cry (I didn't, I swear I didn't). So, yes, it went smoothly.

"Can I have that?" Katniss asks, referring the slice of cake I have in my front. Apparently she already ate hers. I look at her questioningly, wondering how could she eat so fast and so much. During the whole dinner, I haven't seen Katniss doing anything besides eating and looking voraciously at the food around her.

"Fine." I grumble, pushing the plate towards her, since I know I wouldn't be able to ignore the puppy eyes she'd give me if I said no. Katniss beams at me and diggs in.

"Thanks, Peetpie." Katniss says cheesily. It's this game we made up when we were both in in this small caffee we went to once, that was flooding with couples. The place itself was pretty cheesy, but the people around us, it was a such high level of cheesiness I could barely take them. There was this particular couple seating in the table next to ours that was impossible not to overhear their coversation. Who calls their boyfriend Huggy Bear?? Katniss and I started mocking them, resulting in this game we created, where we call each other the worst cheesy lovesicj names we can remember. I'm not that good at it, but Katniss is great.
