A Road Trip to Remember (Katniss and Peeta Story Sequel)

Chapter Thirteen: Driving

***Katniss's POV***

Once I'm out of the city limits, I start to drive upstate. But I'm not sure how well that's to work though because I don't want Gale or Finnick or my mom looking for me. Which they will once they find out. But why the heck would they think to look in the woods close to our houses? Seriously, they will all probably be looking out in Montana or something. It is only going to take a few hours to ge there so I'm hoping they will go by quickly. As I drive, I turn on the radio. It's One Direction playing.
"She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones. It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone." Liam sings.
"And I'll be gone, gone tonight. The ground beneath my feet is open wide." I turn it off after Zayne sings that. It's to close to my situation. 'I'll be gone, gone tonight.' That is exactly me right now. I'm gone. And don't I feel like the world beneath me is opening? And pulling me into a place full of darkness and despair? I'm sure the song isn't talking specifically about my situation but tat's what I take from it. I flip it on to another station. A country station. Only to find Taylor Swift playing. I don't really consider her country anymore, but I guess this radio station does.
"I'll bet, this time of night you're still up. I'll bet, you're tired from a long hard week. I'll bet, you're sitting in your chair by the window, looking out at the city and I'll bet, sometimes you wonder bout me." She sings. I gasp and hit the power button. All I can imagine is Peeta, 5 years from now. I'm sure after a hard day of working he will come home, to our apartment. He will sit on the sofa, with the tv off and all the lights dimmed, and he will look at all the skyscrapers of New York City. And he will wonder about me. Where I am, How I'm doing, if I'm alive, dead, found someone else. And it will tear him apart. I can't stand to be alone with my thoughts so I turn the radio back on. But this time I find a Christian station because there is no way that could depress me or make me think of the situation at hand. Except I find a Christian Talk Show instead of music.
"Do not fear!" The first thing the man says. Do not fear. How can I not fear when there is a man trying to kill me? Who wants to sell my body to people for money? Who is the reason I am leaving in the first place. To protect my friends and family? But then the man continues.
"For the Lord your God is with you." God is with me? In these dark times, it always seemed as though I was alone. I had Peeta, Prim, and everyone else with me, but something seemed to be missing. Something I just didn't acknowledge was there. God has been with me. I remember something my father once said to me, when I was younger.
"Pray your hardest, when it's hardest to pray." That seems like something I should use now, pull over and just pray, but I don't know how to. How can I tell if I'm doing it right or wrong? I will feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. Once again, I turn off the radio, almost wanting to be alone with my thoughts now. I keep driving but I think about what the man on the radio said. God is with me. So why am I still in fear?

So that was short. Just wait until the next few chapters! Muhahaha! I'm feeling evil!

Also, by now, you all know I am a Chrsitian and I wanted to add this. So I hope you all accept my beliefs.

This chapter was really really short! But you will probably get another update tonight! :)

LOVE YOU ALL! <3
