I'll carry you home (Everlark)

Chapter 35: Feeling better

Chapter 35

Katniss P.O.V.

Today I wanna put myself together. I'm gonna drag my sorry ass out of bed, and I will go into the bathroom, take a shower, blow my hair dry. I will do my makeup and then I will come back into the bedroom, I will choose an outfit. After that I will walk to the kitchen and eat breakfast with my Peeta before we go to work.

If I can make it through today, I can make it through tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the day after that. If I can make it through this day, I know that I will be okay again.

I now throw the cover off me and do everything I listed up in my head, in order. I take a long hot shower. I can take a long shower because I woke up long before Peeta. When he wakes up he's gonna find the bed empty, but he'll hear the shower so he'll just start to get himself ready and start to cook breakfast.

As I'm standing under the warm nice rain I can't help but to let out a few tears. I just have to get it out of my system now, and not during the day in school. I think I'll always be sad about this, but I'll be okay. As long as I have Peeta, everything will be okay. I know it.

When I'm done showering, I turn off the tab. I step out on the floor in the bathroom and slips on the slippery floor.

"Ouch", I mumble and stand up again.

It's like when you slip like I did right now. Sometimes you slip in life. The only thing you can do when it happens, is the stand up and try again. If I can stand up after I slipped on the floor, why can't I just try again in life?

No I can, I tell myself. I can try again, I am trying. For Peeta, but for myself as well.

I take up my hair dryer and start to dry my wet hair. It takes me about fifteen minutes to get my whole hair dry.

After I've dried my hair, I do my makeup. I put foundation on as the basis, and I line my eyes with my black eyeliner. I put on some green eyeshadow and put on mascara. I don't put too much of anything, just enough to make me pretty. Or at least acceptable to look at. After I'm done with my makeup I walk out of the bathroom and into mine and Peeta's bedroom. Yes I'm naked. To state the obvious fact. So I'm freezing. I have to get into some clothes.

I close the door behind me, and walk up to the closet. I hear the door open before I have time to open the closet door.

"Gees Kat, you've got goosebumps all over your body", Peeta says and walks up to me.

"Well I'm freezing", I say and open the door to the closet.

I can feel Peeta's eyes eying my body and I smile to myself as I grab a pair of neon green lace panties and put them on. I grab the matching bra and put that on as well. I turn around to Peeta. He's watching me intensely.

"How are you feeling today?" He asks.

"I'm going to work today", I say.

"You don't have to you know", Peeta says gently.

"But I want to", I say and turn around again, looking for an outfit to wear.

I end up wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a red blouse, and I choose to wear my red pumps.

When I'm done, I face Peeta again, who's looking at me with a smile.
