Two days later, I'm outside, shooting squirrels. I hoped Peeta would come over and tell me that he's over it, but Annie told me that I shouldn't be hanging out with a guy that doesn't believe me.

Well, Peeta did come over. "Hey, Katniss?"

"Yeah?" I ask, setting my bow down.

"I'm sorry." I look at him. "For what?" He takes a deep breath and says, "For being mad at you. I miss you. I miss hanging out with you. I miss telling you I love you. Do you forgive me?"

I go over to him and hug him. He immediately hugs back.  "I do, I forgive you."

"Good," He takes my hands and kisses my forehead. I see Annie walking to her house which isn't far from mine, and I step back from Peeta.

"Kat, what's wrong?"

"I- I'm sorry, I can't do this." I feel a tear slip from my eye.

"It's okay, I'm-" He starts to say, but I interrupt him, "Thank you for coming, I appreciate it.. Um.. I do love you, but I have to- never mind." I grab my bow and head for the door.

"Katniss, whats going on?" He asks.

"Annie told me not to hang out with you, because you don't believe me. And you probably don't love me, and you probably have another girlfriend somewhere that you're not telling me about. I'm sorry." I go in and slam the door.

I run into my room and cry. He probably doesn't care about me anymore. I'm a monster.
