Chapter 3

Tris's POV

Uri, Christina, and Lynn get off the train about ten minutes later. Turns out they are going to some secret orchard the amity have hidden away.

I was a little happy, and a little sad when they got off the train. I was happy, because once they got off, I had a better chance at getting Tobias talking again.

But I was also a little sad, because I knew, that would be the last time I would see my friends, for a long time anyways.

I turned toward Tobias, and see that he is looking at me expectantly.

"Tris, are you okay? I mean I know that you were happy to get away from your brother, and Peter, and the whole faction system, but I know that you still have friends.

And I know you still care about them. And I most definitely know that you are gonna miss them. Especially Christina."

Tears threaten to spill over my eyes, but I will not cry. I have cried to much in the past two months. I refuse to let the tears define who I am.

I just nod. He is holding my hand with his right hand, and puts his other hand on my cheek.

"Hey, Hey. I know the feeling. I had friends back there too. It's okay to cry. It's okay. And I promise that I will be here through anything. Maybe double time since you don't have Christina to pick up my slack."

He chuckles, and a small smile pulls at the sides of my mouth.

"Can you do me one favor please Tris? Remember that I will always love you. No matter what, I'm always gonna be here, and I will always love you."

I smile and fit my lips to his. It wasn't anything special, but I new it would be enough to reassure him that I was okay.

I just couldn't talk right now. I know that if I talked, the tears would come and they wouldn't stop. So I just snuggle up next to him, and try to sleep.

I have a long ride ahead. And for the first time since we thought up this wild idea, I was genuinely excited to see what comes next.

Katniss's POV

I wake up not to long after going to sleep. I look over at Peeta, who has apparently fallen asleep, and smile at his peaceful state. He looks so peaceful and cute sleeping.

It's like the arena didn't happen. Right now it feels like we could be a normal couple, with a normal life together, but we can't. Nothing will ever be normal again, and that's why we are moving.

I look down, and Peeta is still holding my hand. I love how natural this feels. It's like we were meant to be joined at all times.

He is my peace, and my joy, and my other half. I'm so glad he is doing this with me. This is an opportunity, and I want to take it. It's not like we are leaving behind family.

Haymitch, yes, but he was more than happy to let us go. I think he saw how good it would be for us, and it's not like we can't visit.

I feel Peeta shift in his seat, and he let's go of my hand to turn and face me. "Good Afternoon." Peeta mumbles in that husky voice he has whenever he wakes up.

"Good Afternoon to you too." I say smiling at him. I'm trying to do more of that, smiling, and it's hard not to around Peeta. He has always been able to make me smile or feel better in the worst situations.

"You having more thoughts bouncing around?" Peeta says with a light chuckle. "Yeah." I say laughing to myself. 'You want to talk about it?"

 I look at the ground, unsure. Do I really want to have my feelings just out there. Yes you need to tell, I tell myself. Tell Peeta how you feel. "I'm not sure." I finally say.

"Well, we have time." Peeta presses. He's always wanting me to talk out my feelings. I think he doesn't want me to keep stuff bottled up, and then one day just explode on him.

"Okay, well I was just thinking about having a new life, and our relationship, and how cute you look when you sleep." I say with a slight giggle.

"Oh the topics to discuss from the great mind of Katniss Everdeen." Peeta says laughing. I love it when he laughs. It makes things almost seem normal, like we weren't thrown into an arena TWICE to kill people or children who have had to kill children.

"Oh yes. So where do we start?"

"Definitely with how cute I look when I sleep, because I can't see myself, so I will need you to describe, in great detail, what I look like and how incredibly sexy I look."

 I start laughing loudly and I don't know if it's just from Peeta wanting me to describe how 'incredibly sexy he looks.' or that he said it with the most serious face ever and he looks like he completely expects me to do that.

"I don't see what is so funny. I'm completely serious here." Peeta's serious façade is flattering and I can see him smiling.

I try to sober up so I can say what I'm about to say. "Well I could hardly contain myself." I start, tryting to pull the sexiest face I can. I've never been good at looking sexy.

Peeta's face goes still, and his eyes darken a bit. Seeing him have this effect makes me lose it , I start laughing. I'm a horrible actress.

Peeta knows I was acting then and he starts blushing. Then he gets this evil grin on his face and I start sobering up.

"Oh Miss Everdeen, you're going to pay for that."

Peeta starts inching towards me, and I scoot towards the window. He eventually pins me against the window with  my hands above my head and a small eek escapes my mouth.

"Say you think I'm sexy, and none of this messing around business." I can barely tell what he's saying I'm more focused on his face being so close to mine.

"You are incredibly sexy." I say, and right now, and I mean it now more than ever. "That's what I thought."

Peeta presses his lips against mine and I feel that warmth in the bottom of my stomach, we move perfectly in sync. I can't imagine anything but perfection right now.

When we finally break apart, I can tell he thinks so too, but I ask him anyways. "We're going to be okay, aren't we?" I say in a whisper.

"Yeah, we are." he responds and kisses the top of my head, and right now everything seems right in the world.
