Peeta's POV

I am crying so hard. I look around and so is the rest of the group. I put the necklace on and I think about what I just read.

Katniss is gone.

She is really gone.

This cannot be happening.

I hold the necklace close to my chest. I miss her already. "Guys be quiet, I am going to call her!" I shout to the group and they immediately stop sobbing. I grab my phone and dial her number. It rings a couple of times but then I hear the voice that always makes my day brighter. Her voice.

"H-Hello?" She says.

"Hey Katniss." I say back.

There is a long pause of silence before she speaks again.

"P-Peeta? I am so sorry. I miss you." She sobs into the phone.

"Katniss please come back! Please!" I beg her.

"I can't. I am sorry. I love you Peeta and don't do anything stupid like coming out here." She says to me still sobbing through the phone and then she ends the call.

I put my phone away and face the group. They are all staring out me. "Guys we are going out to district twelve. Pack your bags because we are going to take the next flight there which is in 2 weeks, unless we can take a road trip but it would take 3 weeks. Which one?"

"Wait for the flight!" Everyone screams back.

"Okay. Lets buy the tickets now." I say.

We all sit down and grab our computers and purchase the tickets and we pack our bags so we are completely ready for when we fly down there.

Katniss's POV

I just got a call from Peeta. I missed his sweet, soft, caring voice. I wonder how everyone took the news. I know Peeta took it hard because his voice was shaky but not stuttery like mine. I turn into the driveway. This is it. This is where I lose my sister. I unlock the car doors and Prim and I get out of the car slowly.

I open the trunk and I get out her stuff. We walk up to the door and knock.

knock knock

After about a minute the door flies open and there my 'mom' stands.

"About time! That took you guys forever. Come on in Prim!" My mom says looking at Prim.

Prim turns to me giving me a questioning look about whether or not she should go in. I kneel down to her height.

"Hey." I say.

"Hey." She squeaks back.

"Prim she has custody over you now. You have to live here. We can call every night." I tell her and she nods.

"Katniss where are you going to live?" She asks.

"I-I don't know." I say back and I start cry with Prim.

"Stay safe." I add.

She hugs me and I hug her back.

"Go back to Peeta. He loves you and so does Clay. I will be fine here. I hope you make the right choice. I love you Katniss." She tells me still crying.

"No I am staying here. I love you little duck." I say back crying with her.

After about 5 minutes in the hug we separate and my mom takes her in the house and slams the door on me. I cannot believe I lost my little duck. I walk back to the car slowly and I drive to the car dealer and I give the car back. That's right. I rented the car and I have to give it back. After I finish doing that I go into the woods with me things.

I have:

2 shirts

2 long pants

1 shorts

Rope

Water bottle that will last me a day

Food that will last me 2 days

A watch on my wrist for time

My phone

And the most important things for last...

My razor.

I am carrying all this stuff in my small backpack.

I find a tree and climb it and I reach a branch and sit on it. I tie myself to it so I will not fall. I look at the time and it is midnight. Midnight. It is now the day my dad had died. I start to cry. I remember the day like it was just yesterday. I am snapped out of my thoughts when my phone starts ringing. It is Peeta. I look and I press dismiss. I look t my phone and I have 107 texts and 47 missed calls from the group. I don't respond to any of them. I can't.

I then put my phone away and get into a comfortable position and I let sleep take over me.

*1 Week later*

Still Katniss's POV

I lift up my shirt and look at myself. I am very skinny and you can start to see my ribcage. I look at my arms and I have 14 scars. I put 2 new scars on myself each day. If the group saw me they would be really scared and disappointed in me. I miss them. I really miss them. I miss Peeta the most.

Peeta's POV

I have exactly one week until I get to see Katniss. I am so excited along with the rest of the group. I am so close to seeing her beautiful face. I have listened to her and I have not done anything stupid. I have been more quiet because I miss her, but I am so close to seeing her. The rest of the group has been trying to help out and I appreciate the effort but nothing seems to work. I hope she is okay.

*1 Week Later*

Still Peeta's POV

I wake up with a smile on my face knowing what day it is. I yell to the rest of the group because we had a sleepover.

"WAKE UP! WE GET TO SEE KATNISS! HURRY UP!" I scream as loud as I can.

Then everyone in the group gets up and gets dressed quickly. I make some pancakes for breakfast and we drive to the airport. We go through security and then we board the plane and I sit in- between Clay and Finnick.

"Dude stop jumping. We get that you are excited to see her and so are we but just clam down a bit." Finnick tells me.

"Sorry bro." I say back.

He nods in response.

The plane starts moving and we are up in the air. There is only one thing on my mind.

I am going to see Katniss soon.
