Letters From Peeta

Chapter 3

Chapter 3:

I read a few more letters. They all consist of the same thing. How his therapy has been, how much he's trying, and he always talks about how he hopes I'm okay and how he would really love to hear from me. Soon enough, the pile of read letters becomes just as large as the unread letters. I don't really know what else to do because theses letters are making me depressed. And with my sudden burst if energy and happiness, I decide to go for a walk.

I put on my shoes and grab a thin jacket and head out the door. I don't know where I'm going exactly, but I know it's no where in specific. I can't go to the meadow. I'm not ready for that yet, and I can't bring myself to go to the woods either because if too many memories with Gale. So I just walk around town a little and end up at Peeta's bakery (or should I say what's left of it). It makes me so sad that Peeta isn't here with me right now. I'm not really sure we'd be talking if he were here, but I would at least know he wouldn't be too far for me if I need him like he is now.

After I pass the bakery I head back to my house. Haymitch is walking outside his door as soon as I'm walking up my steps.

"Well I see that you have finally come out of hiding." He says smirking.

"Shut up," I say to him. "But seriously, I want to thank you for pushing me to read Peeta's letters. That's kinda the reason I'm out right now." I say.

"Anything to make you feel better Sweetheart." He says and leaves Victor's Village.

I walk in my house and take off my shoes and jacket. I warm up some dinner and sit down in the couch to read more letters I've read 10 so far. I have 3 left. This one was sent 8 days ago.

Dear Katniss,
I'm supposed to be coming home in 2 weeks! Can you believe it? I can't! It's too bad I still haven't heard from you. I hope you're getting these. I just can't wait to see you again. I'm getting better, ya know. I haven't had a flashback in a whole month. That's the longest I've ever gone without having one. I hope you write back!
Xoxo, Peeta

I feel awful. Peeta has been waiting for me to respond to him and I don't. He's probably worried sick. I am such a horrible person. I just put the letter down and decided not to read anymore when I realized that Peeta said he was coming home in 2 weeks! And that was 8 days ago. So that means Peeta is coming home in less than a week!! I'm so excited I let out a little scream. I can't wait for Peeta to come home. I've miss him so much and I can't bear to be away from him any longer
