Holding on ( A hunger games story)

To far

"Peeta! No it's me! Katniss! You're wife!" I stated with urgency in my voice.

"MUTT!" He screamed and ran for me. I dashed out of the room and down stairs. He followed me, still waving the knife at me. I ran out of the house, screaming for help. Haymitch came out yelling to stop causing such a loud noise and then saw what was happening. He ran over, tackling Peeta to the ground and sitting on the screaming Peeta. He had recently attempted a bit more sober so when stuff like this happens he can help easier.

"Get back to the house sweetheart and check on Gale and Rue."

"MUTT!" Screamed Peeta as he continued to thrash around.

"Shut up boy!" Haymitch yelled back.

"Fine, tell Peeta he can come over when he is done, we need to talk."

"Sounds good!"

I ran back to the house where Rue was still screaming. I opened the door to her room and walked to her crib. I gasped when I saw some blood on her hand. Peeta had cut her wrist, and it was bad for a baby. I rushed her over to the hospital, telling Gale to help comfort his sister.

About 15 minutes later she was brought back out all fixed up. I thanked the doctors and walked home, this was ridiculous.

When we reached home I put Rue and Gale down for naps and went downstairs, where Peeta was waiting. I went over to him and smacked him over and over and over again until he was on the ground begging me to stop.

"Do you have any idea what you've done?" I screamed at him.

"Hit you?" He said as if he was hoping that's all he did.

"You cut RUE!" I replied angrily. He gasped and fell to his knees.

"Peeta I love you and I have dealt with you attacking me for six years now! But now your doing it to the children and its not safe anymore! You could have killed her!" He just nodded, he couldn't even speak.

I thought of all the good time we had. Like the time we found out we were having Gale, that was five years ago. And then Rue, I can't believe she is three!! We have so many good memories which is why it hurts so bad. He is going to be broken, but I know it is for the best.

"Peeta.. I love you so much! You are my husband! But the children are in danger and I can't have that! I'm so sorry, but I called Gale this afternoon and we are going to go live with him. But the thing is.. I'm not sure we are coming back, at least until these flashbacks stop. I know this hurts but it's for the best! I love you Peeta.."

"What? Your leaving me? No! No! No! Katniss please I'll die without you!"

"And me and the kids might die with you! It's for the best!" I replied quietly.

"When.. when are you leaving?"

"Three days but the kids and I are staying at Haymitchs house, I will be over to pack everyday. I'm sorry, I know its not your fault.."

"Yeah.. I know, i just, I love you Katniss!"

"I love you to Peeta and maybe I'll see you again someday... Write to me ok?"

"Yeah sure.." By now he had stopped crying and he made his way to his room. I stood there, he was my husband.. but maybe fate was not wanting us together. I'd miss him so much.

A few minutes later he came down, carrying hundreds of dollars in his hands.

"Um here is some to help when you get supplies.. like suitcases and stuff. And here is some to get you like stuff down in 2."

"Peeta I can't take..."

"Your still my wife right now.. we share the money still." I took the money and said when the kids woke up I was going to go get packing stuff. He said that was fine and I smiled, even in pain he was polite. I gave him a quick friend hug, maybe we still had hope.

The kids woke up an hour later and we walked to the hob. I bought two more suitcases for each of us and we left quickly.

When we had reached home I told the kids to go play in the living room while I started packing. I started with all the clothes. It took up four bags total. I had seven left, since we had five before I bought new ones. It took two more to pack the children's toys and then Peeta and I split other items in the house. I took some pictures and containers and filled the last three bags. I was leaving all furniture at his house, except for the crib and a few baby chairs.

After three days of packing everything was done and the kids and I were taking a walk around the district one last time. I even went out and saw my hidden bow and arrows again, I left them there though. It was my mark for my old district. Finally we went back home, it felt empty with everything missing.

"Peeta it's time." I stated flatly. He just nodded."Say your good byes to the kids, I'll step into the other room."

I walked around the kitchen and then headed up the stairs. I can't believe this is the last day. I have lived here for six years and now I was leaving. Sadly I can't stay, the children are in to much danger.

The bedroom felt sad, like it knew I was leaving. I had never noticed how white and cold the walls were, how big the bed was, how hard the floor was. And now I was leaving, I was leaving it all.

I walked out and headed out, stopping in the kids rooms on the way.

*flashback*

"Go to sleep little Rue."

"Oh Katniss what a prefect name, for a prefect girl, made by the prefect women!"

*kiss*

"You know.. this is going to be perfect! We are meant for each other! Meant to stay together forever!" I said happily.

"Of course!"

*Kiss*

*End flashback*

Wow! Those were the good times, where there were hardly any attacks. Sad to think it all changed, they only got worse and worse. And now... I didn't want to think about it.

I left the room and walked down stairs. Peeta was hugging both children and all three were crying, I wanted it to continue but we had to go.

"Ok Gale grab you bag. Go walk outside. Rue go follow your brudder!"

I watched them walk out and then I turned to Peeta.

"Peeta.."

"I know... I'll write and I'll miss you. I wish I could stop it, Katniss I love you. Please remember that. Please."

"And I love you Peeta and I always will."

"Good bye Katniss."

"Goodbye Peeta."

And then wee kissed one more time and it was the best and worst kiss ever. We finally let go and I walked out the door, I wasn't returning. I took Gale and Rues hand. We walked to the train station and Haymitch met us there. He gave me and the kids and hug and said he would take care of lover boy. I just nodded, and hr smiled.

"Don't worry sweetheart he will be fine. And so will I, I'll come visit sometime ok?" I laughed and said my last goodbye. The children ran onto the train, and I turned around. I scanned all around, taking in the district for the final time.
