How Will This Work Out? (a HG fanfic)

Chapter 4

The next day was frustrating. Peeta's gone. I was staying up in my bedroom, bawling my eyes out. Gale sat next to me, rubbing my back like a child.

"It's okay, Catnip."

I lifted my head, tears staining my face. "No, it's not. And it will never be."

Suddenly, a rock hit the window. Gale got up, walking slowly towards the window. I got in front of him, placing my hand on his shoulder.

"Let me."

Opening the window, Peeta stood down on the soil, his face stained with dried blood on the side of his face.

I whispered, "Peeta." Jumping out the window, I landed in front of him.

"Hi, Katniss." he said with sorrow.

"Oh, Peeta...." I said, a teeny tear creeping down my face. I leaped into his arms, him letting me continue to cry on his shoulder.

"I never meant what I said, Peeta. I'm so sorry." I said, my words muffled by his hoodie.

"That's not why I'm here, Katniss." Peeta replied, casually looking at the front of our house.

I looked over to see what he was looking at. I gasped. 

It was Mayne, the girl Prim had told me about.
