Growing up. (Sequel to 'Growing together') - Hunger Games Fanfiction.

Chapter Sixteen - The Departure.

For the first time in months, there was a glimmer of hope for us. Just a little bit of this was enough to ignite a fire within us, and leave us yearning to create our new independent lives together. Only now do i have the hope that myself and Peeta can live peacefully together and do the one thing that he has always wanted and never truly had.

A family

He deserves more than anyone to have a good family, and i know that i am the only person who can provide this for him. Dare i say even I want this family, me. Katniss Everdeen the girl who was completely content with being alone; until he showed up. Until he the love of my life turned my life upside down and made me feel. Made me feel things i never had, want things i never had before, and despise things i once couldn't live without.

I defined him not as just the love of my life, but also as the anchor who stopped me from losing track of what is really important, and the only thing that meant everything to me was him. I could be without anything else in the world and function daily, as long as i had this man by my side. This weak, fragile, beautiful man.

I get lost in my thoughts while he packs up some things for us to take upon our departure. We are both very much underweight, so we have to pack light. He is much more underweight than I am so i need to ensure that in my backpack i take the heavier items. Such as the larger bottles of water, and the cans of food in case the worst should happen and we find ourselves without a way to get food. Due to the games we both had knowledge on survival techniques, which would come in handy in a time like this.

Peeta turns from his packing and shows me a wide, adorable grin while taking a few steps toward me and placing a kiss upon my forehead. This simple gesture could make my heart beat faster more than any make-out session could, because it was a sweet and loving gesture; something there was a lack of these days.
"My beautiful lady, are you nearly ready?" he asks, coming to my level and giving me a reassuring smile.
"Nearly" I reply, looking towards the staircase, thinking about our warm and cozy bed. "Im going to miss our bed though" I chuckle lightly, smiling at him with suggesting eyes.
"It would be rude to not use it one more time" he winks, taking my hand and leading me toward the staircase.
"We have to be quick."

~~~~~
He carries me back down the staircase an hour and a half later. We are both completely satisfied and both happy as can be.
"I think I can say goodbye to this place now; for good." I say, looking around our home and remembering every little memory that was made here. Every memory that could have been made here, but will now be made elsewhere. My eyes start to tear up as I think about the fact of how uncertain my life will be as soon as we leave this house, how we may not even survive let alone be able to create a family.

You wouldn't survive if you stay here either

My inner thoughts tell me. They are right, this is the only thing that seems right for us to do. Over the past few weeks, i have been teaching Peeta everything that i know about survival techniques, ranging from how to shoot a bow to things like what not to eat and where to look for different types of foods. Neither of us has any kind of idea or inkling on where we would go or how long we would be gone; or if we would even survive. But we knew one thing for certain. 

We would be fine as long as we had each other.
