Late Primrose in the evening light

Chapter 5

Katniss's POV

As the door to Prim's rooms slams in my face I start to slowly tear up. Which actually scares me. I've never cried. But, as I start to make my way to Peeta's room I wipe away the tears. I should be saving water not throwing it away. But let the few stray ones fall, for they are for Prim. I make it to Peeta's room and wait. As soon as the door opens I stand up to be greeted by Peeta's dad. We exchange a hello and I see that he has a paper bag of some sorts that I smell cookies in. As my hand reaches the doorknob I hear him say "She can do it you know. She's got that one thing that makes everyone like her. At least know that she will get Sponsors because of her innocence." I turn to look at him but as I do he's gone. I shrug it off and make a note to actually thank him for what he said later. I mean, I'm not going anywhere.

I take a deep breath and open the door to Peeta's room, the boy who saved me and my family from starvation when no one else did. Unlike his witch of a mother. I see Peeta looking outside of his window. "5 minutes" I hear the peacekeeper behind me say. I nod and Peeta whips his head to me. His eyes widen for a bit, then soften as he sees it's me. I can see his eyes are still wet and the the tears that streamed down his face a couple minutes ago. He should really continue crying if he wants people to think he's a wimp or a coward. He offers me a small smile. I give one back. Just a small one. Time to talk to the boy with bread. "Why are you here? You barely know me" he almost whispers.

"I... I..." I start to stutter. Why am I here? "I wanted to say goodbye. And...and thank you." I say with my head lowered. "Thank me for what?" He says. I think about it.

"Thank you for saving me. For giving me that sparkle of hope, being my light in darkness. For being the only one who helped when no one else did. You could have done many things. You could have ignored me. You could have left me to die. You could have even make me get out. But you didn't. You stayed and helped and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you." I says with a smile. A real genuine smile.

A smile starts playing on his lips. His eyes sparkle and he seems to be...happy? How can he be happy in a time like this? "Hey Katniss?" He says. "Yeah?" I reply. He walks closer so I can actually smell his scent. He smells just like grain and bread. Bread. "I'll protect her. Don't worry. I'll give up my life for her if I have too. She'll be safe. Alright?" I look up in shock. "Why would you do that?" I say. "Because...I don't want to lose her because if I do...I..." "What Peeta?"

"I lose you. And your my life. Your all I have lived for. I, I love you Katniss." He says. His cheeks are tinted with red. I blush. Blush? Peeta made me blush? Why do I feel so comfortable with him? I feel like his friend. It took years for Gale, but just a few words and actions for Peeta? "I...Peeta, right now, I don't feel that way about you. I-" "Hey I don't care if you don't feel that way about me okay? I just want you to be happy. Your happiness makes my day. Just smile once and a while, would you?" He cuts me off. I smile. "Thank you again Peeta. I would never be here without you. And maybe, just maybe, one day, just know what we could have been." I say. Just that second, a peacekeeper charges in and takes my hand. "PEETA! JUST KEEP HER SAFE PLEASE! MAKE HER COME OUT ALIVE!" I scream and yell, and try to get away to give Peeta one hug. "I WON'T KATNISS! WAIT FOR HER! SHE WILL COME OUT!I PROMISE! REMEMBER KATNISS I LOVE YOU! His voice fades out as the door shuts in my face. Just like with Prim.

I just hope he saves her.

I just hope that he'll be okay.

Because that boy is special.

I just wish I had time to know him better. Because this second I already miss his breath hitting my face.

Until then, I will have to watch the boy who saved my life, fight for his.
