Peeta POV

The bakery is amazing! It has bread ovens like my old family bakery used to have as well as high-tech machines designed by the Capitol. There was also a cupboard stocked full of baking supplies from tons of flour to coloured icing for cakes. I'm going to have to hire some help or something because I'm not going to keep up with demand but for the start I'll be fine. I just can't believe that Haymitch would arrange this all for me, it's amazing!

After about twenty minutes of inspecting my bakery from top to bottom I head home to see how Katniss' knee was. The bakery had defiantly made me feel more like the real me before my hijacking. Sometimes, after a flashback, I still feel a little like a mutt but the bakery had reminded me so much of my old life that the mutt was pushed deeper down inside of me. I still feel so guilty about Katniss though, so I half walk, half run back to the Victor Village.

I just get to the archway that leads into the Victor Village when I spot Annie supporting Katniss, helping her up the stairs to Katniss' house; if they've only just got back, where have they been?

I jog over to them, reaching them just as Annie is holding open the door for Katniss to limp through whilst trying to be there for Katniss to lean on. 'Where have you guys been?' I ask, taking over what Annie was doing because she seemed to be struggling to hold the door open and support Katniss at the same time. Katniss grips my arm gratefully and steps into the house.

'Oh, it doesn't matter..' Katniss replies as we walk- well me and Annie walk, Katniss limp- into the living room.

'Yes it does! Where were you guys, how's your knee?' I ask, half confused and half worried.

'Don't freak out now Peeta! We... We just went to the hospital, that's all.' Katniss tried to reassure me, it didnt work.

'What?!' I ask, shocked and now feeling even more guilty than I was before, 'The hospital? I hurt you that much, oh god...' Katniss is now safely sitting down on the sofa so I walk away, not being able to look her in the eye.

The girl I love with all my heart is still in pain and it's all my fault, she had to go to the hospital it hurt that bad and it's all my fault. I'm such a monster, I shouldn't be allowed to be around people. I would stay away but I have this kind of weakness for her, I kinda have to be around her but I'm going to have to stop, I can't hurt her again.

'Peeta! It's fine, I promise!'

'Don't lie Katniss! I hurt you! I shouldn't be around you anymore, or anyone really. I hurt too many people, I'm a monster. I'm gonna go.' I'm about to turn away when Annie of all people stops me by grabbing my arm, I try to shake her off but she's not letting go.

She glares at me 'Stay here!' she hisses, in a very unlike Annie fashion. I'm trying to figure out why she's doing this but I don't have time because Katniss is now almost shouting to me.

'No! Peeta! Don't go! You can't go! It doesn't hurt, I've been in more pain before, like when I was shot in district 2! Please, stay here!' She's practically crying now, can I stop hurting her? What do I do? Leave so I can't physically hurt her or stay so I can try to stop her tears?

Oh, I just can't watch her cry!

'No, Katniss, don't cry!' I immediately rush over to her and take her in my arms, rocking her back and forth to stop the tears now running down her face.

I just can't stop causing pain everywhere I go can I?
