Start of Something New (After Mockingjay) Book 1

Chapter 3

***Heheheheheheheh

Katniss-POV (Later that day)

I wake up to a dry throat

Great

My medicine is downstairs and i can't make tea

I burn water

I don't know how but i do

I put a white crop top and sweats and put a blanket over me

I walk downstairs to Peeta watching TV

When he see's me he just stares at me but i avoid eye contact

I look for my medicine and water

I walk back upstairs still avoiding Peeta

I sit on my bed and turn on the TV

I take my medicine and chug it down with water

I go back downstairs to put the medicine back

Again, Peeta stares

But i don't care

I feel like sneezing so i go back to my room and sneeze in my blanket so Peeta doesn't hear

I just watch some random TV show and fall asleep

When i wake up my throat still hurts so i go back downstairs to see Peeta drawing in his sketchbook on the kitchen table

We haven't spoken since our argument earlier

"Are you going to eat anything?"Peeta asks

I shake my head and look for the medicine

He signs and keeps drawing

While I'm looking for my medicine i decide to speak

"Why do you care?"I ask him

He should be living with Delly right now but he's still here with me

He stops drawing and looks at me with sadness in his eyes

"Becauseistillloveyou"He says a little too fast

"What?"

He takes a deep breath, "Because i still love you"

I just look at him shocked

I walk toward him and sit down beside him

I just look at my fingers

"You do? After all i did to you?"I ask him

"You didn't do anything to me"He whispers

"I've been mean to you"

He shakes his head

We sit their in silent

"Peeta...."

"Yeah?"He says and looks at me

"Can you make me tea?"I ask and blush darkly

He laughs, "Sure"

He says and goes to find the flavor i like

Few minutes later he comes back with my tea

"Thanks"I tel him

He nods, "Dry throat?"

I nod

He nods his head and continues drawing

I soon feel sleepy and rest my head on Peeta's shoulder

As soon as i start falling asleep Peeta kisses my head

Peeta POV

Katniss fell asleep on my shoulder

She doesn't know how much i love her

I decide to put her in bed

I carry her bridal style to her bedroom and tuck her in

I give her a kiss on the forehead and head to my room

I lay down on my bed and just look at the ceiling

Katniss doesn't know how much i really do love her

She thinks i love Delly

That hurts

I can't believe i attacked her

But it wasn't me

It was the capitol Peeta

And i didn't like the capitol Peeta

Because he was heartless

He was heartless because he attacked the love of his life

The one that i always wanted to have a family with

I wanted to marry her since i was five

And if we weren't in the hospital, Alone

Just like the capitol Peeta wanted,

She would've been dead
