Divergent on fire [on hold]

Chapter 20 Always There

Peeta's P.O.V

It has been a week since our victory and all we really have been doing is having interviews. Me and Katniss always get the audience -when there is one- to start awing in our romance. I dont think it is that bad because a least I survived and that Katniss is alive. 

She has been very quiet lately. I'm not surprised though, she is thinking about Tris a lot more than me and it stops her from focusing very well which I find a bit distracting. Every time I get her attention,she looks into me eyes. I look into her beautiful Seam eyes but then she quickly moves her head away before she has a breakdown.

Now, we are in the Capitol still but we will be leaving tomorrow. I can't wait to see her smiling again because of Prim. I've been longing for that wonderful smile of hers but I guess I will have to wait a bit longer. I want  what makes her happy. I'm sitting on my bed looking out the window just thinking about the stuff I'll do back home. I think about when I first met Katniss. 

And then I think of that boy that she hunts with. Gale I think. Suddenly I hear the door opening. I look quickly and notice it's Katniss so I quickly move my head back into the same position is was before.

'Hey Peeta, how are you keeping up? Are you looking to going back home?' She walks over to me and sits next to me and also stares out the window. I look over at her but she doesn't move.

'I dint know, bake some more bread I guess, live in Victors village I'm not really sure.' In my head I'm just thinking-Please dont mess this moment up-  Looking out the window again, I could see a whole lot of things. I've never really noticed this before but I try not to get used to it. 'Are you looking forward to meeting your family again?' I can't believe that I just said that.

'Yess, definitely. I can't wait  to see Prim. Go hunting again and just try to live a life better than before.' She sounds very confident and so sure of herself. 'But Katniss, you can never go back to your old life, You'll live in the Victors village just like me and you and me will probably be taken out for more interviews. The first 2 victors.'  I say. 

'I can try. There's nothing wrong with trying.' Well there it is. The confidence that Katniss Everdeen has. One of the things I admire so much about her.

'I can always help you will that, I mean if you dont mind. Maybe I can visit some time? I mean, I'd love to meet Prim she seems very nice. If it's OK with you.' I look down at her and she locks her eyes with mine. This reminds me of the cave. 'Katniss, I will always be there for you OK?' I try say it reassuringly but I dint think I can. Truth is I need her. 

She smiles her heart warming beautiful smile. 'Thank you Peeta that's very sweet. And then, nothing. Until she leans down and kisses my cheek. I look at her in amazement. Then she quickly  hides in her hair and looks very embarrassed her cheeks a rosy red. 

'Hey, why are you embarrassed about that when you kissed me in front of all Panem?' She doesn't say anything but blushes even more.  I turn her head,stroke her hair out of her face and kiss her softly on the lips. This time without any cameras. I'm happy without them. Just me and her. When We break the kiss, in my head I'm crying but I knew it was for the best.

I don't know what to think of this but shortly after, she whispers 'always there.' I smile a little grab his hand and stand up. 'C'mon Peeta lets enjoy the food from here while we still can' He follows me and we both have the best time eating and just normally talking. All this time, I forgot about Tris until now. I do my best to discard the though and for once it actually worked! Maybe because Peeta is here? I dont know but i dont want it to go away. I want to enjoy myself now. 

It is the day that I finally will get to see my Prim. I cant wait. Me and Peeta will be finally going home. I step outside ready to leave when a hand grabs me. Im slurred away in a room alone but not to soon Peeta comes in. We both sit there. I look over at Peeta and ask why we are here but he doesn't have a clue. 'Well....' I say with a sigh. I think I'm going to have to wait until I can go home.

After about 10 min, I hear the door opening. I quickly grab Peeta's hand to prepare for the worst but I soon realize that it's just one of those game makers. 'Umm... Hey, my name's Peter and i need to talk to you both.' He just blurs it out as if he doesn't care. Slowly walking over to a white chair, he sits down and his expression changes. From shy, to serious. I squeeze Peeta's hand harder and he grips it firmer to show that he's there.

There's a silence for about 2 minutes when he finally says something I wasn't expecting. 'You two have made these Games very unusual. Your romance story, what you did to both stay alive and 3 victors.'

What?! 'Peter, wait. Did I hear you correct? 3 victors?' I let go of Peeta's grip because I think I'm hurting him but all he does is search for my hand again so I don't hesitate to take hold of it again.

'Yes. Three victors but you two are the only known ones. The last one was found out and is now being taken care of.' This is getting intense. I was about to ask the exact same things Peeta was going to say.

'Who is this third victor?' I look over at Peter again and he just stays silent. I need t know because this victor is secret but I think I have the right to know who it is. Anger boils up inside me bu I have to force myself to keep myself calm. 'Peter, you have to tell us.' He just looks down at the floor ashamed for what he is about to say but I made myself ready for what is going to come. I will stay strong.

'OK,' he whispers. Looking back at us he says this quietly and slowly.

'The third victor is, Tris Prior.' My mouth drops open and so does Peeta's as soon as I look a him. She is still alive and well. Not here but that's a start. I just can't help but throw my arms over Peeta.

As soon as I release him, I noticed that Peter said her name very confidently. Like he knew her. 'Peter?' I say. 'Do you know Tris by any chance?' He looks like I've scalded him or just burst out one of his secrets.

'Yeah, I used to know her. Me and some of her other friends lost her and Four. You Know about Four right?' I nod. Then he carries on talking about how he and his friends blended in here in the Capiol. He was a Game maker. He also told us hat one of her friends made a serum that made Tris in a sort of coma.

'Your tech is nothing compared to ours so you would thank that Tris is dead but in reality, it just slows down her heart beat to one beat a minute. You people didn't read that correctly. I also bought time for Four. He is still held here in the custody of the Capitol. When she woke up she got to know everything and she insisted on letting you guys know too.'

This is all staring to make sense now but there are somethings that I need to know about Tris.' I need to see her take her to us.'

'I can't show you to her now. She needs to recover from what she has experienced but you. You will still be escorted back home. So come on. Although when she does recover,You will be sent back here.' He stands up and opens the door expecting us to walk in and let him follow us back to the train.
