~Summer Weekend~

Peeta and I lay in bed, were in a hotel, staying till school starts again, right now we're laying underneath the air con, people were right it's HOT here, I'd rather live in Panam, luckily they have awesome air cons and beaches, I haven't heard from my family yet, a little upset by that but I'm okay, as long as I have Peeta, then that's okay.

"So what do you want to do today?" Peeta asks as we lay in bed

"Lay in bed with you all day, under the air con" I say sighing in his chest and he chuckles

"We need to at least do-" he starts but gets a call from his phone

"Hello, oh hi, okay what's wrong, oh yes I'll be sure to tell her, okay, bye" he says and hangs up and he sighs

"That was your mother" he says and I look at him with a look telling him too continue

"Katniss, your father had a heart attack" he says and I feel my heart drop

"Is he okay? When did it happen? I'm such an idiot!" I say putting my face in my hands

"He's stable for now, it happened yesterday and your not an idiot baby" he says

"I am! I left without saying a goodbye and now he's dying, my mom is going to be heart broken!" I cry and Peeta hugs me and I cry in his chest

"Listen to me Katniss, you are the number one thing that matters to him, he will forgive you, all you can do now is go there and be with him" Peeta says rubbing my back and I sniff and look up to him

"Will you come with me? I don't want to be alone when I go" I say and he smiles sadly and stokes my cheek

"Of course, anything for you" he replies and I smile and hug him

"I love you so much" I say as we hug

"I love you so much too" he replies and I kiss him.

~Time Flash~

We walk out of customs and meet mom and Mackenzie, I hug them both tightly and my mom hugs Peeta, whispering something and he nods, he hugs Mackenzie who's already nine, very tall as well, we all walk to the car, complete silence, nobody dares to say a word but I do

"How's his condition?" I ask and mom sighs

"Been asking for you a lot, very weak, I don't think he'll make it" she says and with that I just sit back as Peeta pulls me to his chest and I silently cry, this isn't fair, he's my father, he won't be able to walk me down the isle, give me away to hopefully Peeta, give me a kiss goodbye, see my first newborn, to watch it grow, if he's dead he won't get to experience any of it, I can't believe I might actually loose my father.

We walk into his hospital room and see him, on the bed, pale as ever, I walk over, sitting down and taking his hand in mine and his eyes open and I stand, he weakly smiles and I smile

"You came" he croaks and I smile

"Of course I did, your my father and when something bad happens, no matter what" I say and he smiles and I hug him.

Peeta POV

Katniss sleeps on me, her head on my chest and I rub her back and her dad stirs and his eyes open and see us and he gives a little smile, he takes off the oxygen mask

"I'm sorry" he says and I smile

"I forgive you, never mind" I say and he smiles the best he can

"Your a good boy, what I always wanted for my daughter, if you two, end up getting married you have my blessing" he croaks and I smile

"Thank you sir" I say and I feel Katniss stir and her eyes flutter open and I smile and she does to and she yawns

"How long have I been asleep?" She asks

"About twenty minutes" I reply and she turns around, sitting on my lap

"How you feeling daddy?" She asks taking his hand and he smiles

"I'm hanging in there" he says and she sadly smiles

"Dad, you won't leave us will you?" She asks

"I... Love.... Yo.. u" he struggles out and the machine goes in a straight beep, nurses and doctors rush in and I have to take out a screaming and crying Katniss to the waiting room.

Katniss POV

I pace back and forth waiting for any news about my father, I hope he's okay, I hope he made it, he did right? I mean he's strong.

Soon the doctor who's been looking after dad  walks out and Peeta and I walk over too him and we wait for him to speak

"I'm sorry to say that Mr Everdeen did not make it, I'm sorry, we done everything we could" he says and Peeta pulls me too his chest as I cry, Peeta thanks the doctor and Peeta sits us down, stroking my hair, cooing me

"He's gone! I can't believe my father is gone!" I cry

"Sometimes, God takes good people to watch over us, to help us do good, your father was a great man and he'll never be forgotten" Peeta confidently says and I look at him

"But I didn't want God to take him" I say and he looks at me sadly and kisses me softly

"He was good" Peeta repeats and I sigh and nod

"I know, we should tell mum and Macky first" I say and he nods and that's what we do.

~Time Flash~

"You can't leave them, they need you" I say to my mother who just nods, I hug Macky and Mike and kiss them, I take Peetas hand and we head on the plane which will take us all the way back to Australia.

"That's so sad!" Courtney says after I told the girls about my father and they give me a group hug

"Defiantly" Melody replies and I sadly smile

"Lucky Peeta was with you through the whole thing" Vanessa says and I smile

"Yeah, he's amazing" I say, he really is, I wouldn't be sane right now if it wasn't for him, he's the most best person you could ever meet, if your having a shitty day, he'll make the sun come out and make you smile and laugh, he really is amazing and that's why I love him.
