Panem High (Sequel to 'Two hearts beats as one')

Chapter 12: Witness

Chapter 12

Katniss P.O.V.

My tears can't stop flowing.

I'm sitting in Finnick's car. He drove me here to pick up Peetas present. It's our anniversary in a week. I know that it's only three months and not important. But it's important to me. Apparently not for him though. I can't believe that I trusted him as much as I did. And Skeeter... How could she do that to me? I took her under my wing when she got here. How could she betray me? I thought she was my friend. Friends doesn't do that to each other. How could she? How could he?

"Kat are you sure that you saw what really happened?" Finnick asks carefully.

"What was there to see?! He cheated on me and she betrayed me!" I cry.

Finnick stops the car on the side of the road and puts on both of the winkers.

"But are you sure of that?" He asks, looking at me.

"You know how they've been hanging out together, everyone always wondered what they were doing!" I say angry. "Now we know!"

"Did you ask?" Finnick asks.

"No..."

"So do".

What's the point? They'll lie me straight in the face and I can't deal with liars, I can't! I've been lied to my whole life. My whole life I didn't know the rest of my family. And I thought that Peeta would never lie to me. I was just too naive. No, not naive. I'm in love. I love him. I love Peeta. But he doesn't love me.

Peeta's P.O.V.

I walk back into the painting store. Skeeter follows me.

"I'm sorry Peeta, I should've just let you taken the call", Skeeter says.

"Yes. You should've", I say with a dead voice.

"You know, I think Katniss came here to pick up a present for you", Skeeter says. "Are you going to celebrate something?"

I don't kno... Three moths. We've been together for three months. I know that is usually nothing to celebrate but I do have present for Katniss, not just the painting. And apparently she had one for me as well. I didn't think that three months meant something. It usually every sixth month that really matters. But the fact that I never thought I could get Katniss, makes three months so damn special to me.

"I have to go now", I say as I grab my bag and run out of the store.

I really wish that Skeeter could tell Katniss. I mean, I understand that she doesn't want to. But she trust Katniss so much, and she trust me and she knows that I trust Katniss, and she knows that Katniss knows about and my mother. So I really hope that Skeeter tells Katniss.

"No Peeta please wait", Skeeter says.

"When you know what you wanna do", I say. "I can't keep lying to Katniss".

And than I walk out of the store. I'm not gonna tell Skeeters secret, I won't, but I won't keep seeing her like this without Katniss knowing about it. I really do understand why she thinks I'm cheating, but I'm not. I just hope that Katniss can believe that. Believe in me. And believe that I would never do that to her. Not ever.

I try to call Katniss. I hear the signals. I know that she sees that I'm calling. But she won't pick up. Why won't she pick up?

Because she's mad and hurt, I remind myself. Oh please Katniss.

I take a seat in my car. I call Katniss again.

"Please baby... Please pick up the phone", I mumble to myself with tears flowing down my eyes.

I can't keep calling her while I'm driving, I'm gonna hit someone. So that's why I pull up on a parking lot at a playground.

I step out of the car and sit down on a bench. I really need some air right now.

I hear the laughter if the children on the playground as well as the screams of happiness.

I want children some day. Some day with the girl I love. I want them with Katniss. But I don't know I she wants them with me, especially after this.

Oh I really screwed up everything now!

I see an green ball roll out on the parking lot.

The ball stole my attention because of the color. Green. That's Katniss favorite color. She always paints her nails, all twenty of them, finger nails and toe nails, green. Or orange.

Oh my beautiful Katniss. Please forgive me.

But what did I do? I didn't cheat. But I did lie to her. And that's also really bad.

I look over to the train station and across from the play ground. There's no one there, beside one person. It's the time of the day when there are almost no one at the train station.

I think it's a guy. About my age. Yeah, Hm... I wonder if he goes to Panem ... What hell is he doing?

I run up rob the fence. I see the train.

"NO!" I scream. "DON'T!"

He takes one look at me, with tears streaming down his eyes.

"No!"

I jump over the fence and up too the rail. But I don't make it and I have to throw myself on the grass beside when the boy gets hit by the train as he jumps in front of it.

It's too late. I can't help him now.

I get blood splattered all over me, while I feel tears streaming down my face.

I feel something hard thrown on my chest and I catch it.

I look at what I have in my hands.

An arm.

Oh my god.

I just saw a boy in my age kill himself. I got his blood all over me. And now I have his arm in my hands.

"Oh my god..." I cry.

I hear sirens far away but I just keep on sitting in the grass.

I'm never going to be able to erase this picture out of my head.
