One Last Chance (Everthorne)

4) Revealing the truth

A/N: Sorry for the annoying Authors Note. Just wanted to say sorry!! I'm trying my best, I know I haven't been on Wattpad for ages... <(# * ^ * #)>
I run back to the district station and catch the train to District 13. Once I'm home I dump my bag on the floor

"Peter!" I yell

"Yes honey?"

I run to the kitchen where I see him chopping up vegetables and pouring them into a pot.

"Where were you?"

"Oh I just um went-you know hunting.."

Peeta can always tell if I'm lying or not. He looks deeply into my eyes, and studies every inch of my face carefully.

"Is there something you would like to tell me?"

"I-i caught a rabbit" I stammer

I feel tingle run down my spine as he whispers
"Katniss"

"Okay!" I give up
"I went to Gale's house"

A sudden rush of anger crosses his face.

"I love him!" I add

"What do you mean?" He says nervously
"You were playing me all along?"
"Katniss, how could you?"

"I can't help it!"

"So um it's over?" He gulps

I nod.

"Your just gonna go?"

I nod again.

"Just walk out?"

I keep nodding.

"Just like that?"

He gulps as he looks nervously at floor.

"Love hurts. Doesn't it?"

I bite my lip, as I feel single tears rush down my cheeks and fall off my chin.

"One moment your in love, the next moment it's over"

"I'm sorry" I manage to speak out

"This feeling in me. I feel-"

"Broken-hearted" I finish his sentence

"That's right"
"I'm broken-hearted"

I sit down as I hear him shudder his words. I feel terrible.

"Am I a bad man?"
"Did I hurt you?"

I shake my head
"Love hurts"

He tries to focus on the painting behind me fighting back his tears.

"I don't know, Katniss"

"I should go now" I sigh as I go upstairs to pack my things

I run upstairs, and slam the door open. I try blink back my tears as I pack. Think of happy things Katniss! Like the flower that glows in the empty garden with nothing but a primrose. Prim. Be happy for Prim.

Once I finish packing I make my way downstairs with Peeta just staring at me as I drag my bags towards the door.

"Your really leaving. I really am a bad man"

He grabs the toaster with his strong arms and pulls it out of the power plug. I know what he's gonna do. I take a deep breath in and hold it. He holds it above his head. I shut my eyes. He slams it against himself several times.

"No Peeta!" I scream
"Don't!"
"Stop!!"

He does it one last time and drops to the floor. Thousands of tears stream down my face. I rush towards him and crouch down.

"There's nothing left in this life" he chokes out.

I don't want to watch him die. So I just run out of the house and start walking slowly to the district station. Prim's dead. Dad's dead. Rue's dead. Finnick's dead. Cinna's dead. Peeta's dead. How about I just kill myself as well?

I board the train thinking of nothing but Peeta's death. It's all my fault. Everyone's death is all my fault. I'm a selfish coward. I should just give in and die before I cause anymore deaths. Just because I want to live it my way.
