Together.

Chapter 1.

I hear screams. Screams that I know anywhere. Prim. I run to her voice. But it just keeps going farther away. By the time I reach her, it's too late. She's gone.

I wake up screaming and covered in tears and sweat. I wipe my tears even though more are just going to flow down anyway. Another nightmare. It's become a casual thing for me. I look at my clock. It says 6:42. I sigh, realizing there is no point in trying to fall asleep because I'll just be awoken by more nightmares.

I slide out of bed and my feet are greeted with the cold wooden floor. I shiver slightly. I stand up and look outside. The sun is just rising. I walk towards my closet and grab something decent to wear. I wonder if Peeta's awake. I know he gets them too. The nightmares. I feel a slight pain in my chest remembering my last encounter with him.

He hugs me and I hug him back. I guess I triggered something inside of him. He attacks me by shoving me against the wall. This is what the Capitol has made him into. A monster.

The last time I saw him was about last week. He has apologized. And I forgave him. Obviously it isn't his fault. I know that he would never mean to harm me.

I walk out of my room. All I can hear is the rough wind and the sounds of my bare feet walking across the floor. I walk down the stairs. Everything is so quiet.

I walk towards the kitchen. It's colder in here than in my room. I walk towards the open window. Well maybe that's why it's cold. I think and close the window. I walk around thinking of what to do. I could hunt, but too many memories. Good. And Bad. I really should go outside though. I haven't been out much. I slide shoes on and grab a sweater. The cold winter air welcomes me as I exit my house. I walk down my front steps. And look outside. Snow has covered everything. I look forward to Peeta's house. It looks empty. But, I know it's not. I walk down the cold empty street slowly. I continue walking until I reach the town. I notice almost everything has been rebuilt. I smile slightly at the sight of the bakery almost finished. I'm sure Peeta is happy that it's almost finished.

I continue walking until I feel frozen. I sit on a bench outside of some store that I can't say I care about. I think about Peeta and why the Capitol would ruin such a beautiful innocent thing.

I sit on that bench for a long time. Until I feel myself getting numb from the cold so I start heading back home. I walk slowly still thinking. When I bump into something. I look up and see those beautiful blue eyes I haven't seen in a while.

I stare at his eyes before muttering a small 'Sorry' and I begin and I walk away. He grabs my shoulder and makes me look at him.

"Hi." He smiles slightly. I'm not sure if I should reply or leave and not talk to him. "Hello Peeta." I whisper not looking in his eyes. I missed him. Even though I really want to wrap my hands around him and hold him. I can't.. and I won't. What if something happens?

"Katniss, you know I didn't mean hurting you. I hate myself for that." He lifts my chin and looks in my eyes. "I know. I know you didn't mean to hurt me. You would never." I say looking in his eyes. "I hate what they did to me..I hate what they made me do to you. Its all my fault I jus-" I cut him off by pressing my lips to his.

I know I could trigger something, but I hate when he blames himself. He kisses back, I am the first to pull away. "Don't blame yourself for what they did." I whisper and run away. I run home and lock my door. What did I just do?

(So that was my crappy chapter 1. What'd you think? Bad right. Yeah, I know. I'm not the BEST at this. But, I try. Thanks! Byeee)
