She Has My Heart Forever

Chapter 3 Broken Peeta....Again

Peeta POV

Katniss rushes forward, pulling me in for a tight hug as I let the tears flow. My dad...he's gone and I didn't get to say goodbye.

"Shh...its alright Peeta." she says running her hands up and down my back. "Its gonna be alright."

"My dad....I..I didn't even get to say goodbye." I cry. She pulls back and look my in the eyes, wiping the tears from my cheeks.

"Its gonna be okay. We gotta be strong..for Rye." she says. I nod and let her wrap her arms around me again.

"Your right....my father..wouldn't want me..broken." I say. She nods and pulls me to the couch. 

"Thats right, he wouldn't." she says kissing my cheeks. "Look, we'll tell Rye tomorrow but now lets just go to bed. Okay?"

"Alright." I say standing up. We turn the TV off and head up to the bed room. She closes the door and walks over to the closet. 

"Here, your favorite sweats." she says handing me my orange sweat pants. I pull them on and take my shirt off, crawling under the blankets. Katniss comes out of the bathroom with her silk white nightgown. She crawls into bed, snuggling up next to me. "Your gonna be fine." she whispers.

"I know...I have you." I say running my hands through her soft hair. "Could you tell Rye tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will. I promise." she says leaning up and leaving a soft kiss on my lips. "But get some sleep."

"Alright, I love you." I say locking my arm around her.

"I love you too Peeta." she says closing her eyes. I do the same and fall into a deep sleep...way too deep.

~DREAM~

"Peeta? Come to the kitchen." my dad calls. I jump up from the couch and run to the kitchen. "Here, I wanna show you how to make cheese buns."

"The ones Katniss likes?" I ask. He smiles and nods. "Than I can always make them for her!"

"Yes, you will." he says lifting me up on the counter.

"Dad? Can I tell you a secret?" I ask. He looks up and nods. "But you can't tell anybody."

"I won't son. What is it?" he asks.

"I...I love Katniss." I say making him smile. "What?"

"Its just sweet, young love. I met your mother when I was a little older than you." he says.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yep, she was the cutest girl I had ever seen." he says. "I wrote her notes, picked her flowers, even wrote a little poem for her."

"Dad...thats too lovey." I say making him laugh.

"Well back then things were abit different." he says. "We didn't have the things they have now."

"So? What can I do to make Katniss love me?" I ask.

"Maybe she already does." he says. "Never know."

"But...alright. Wait! Maybe when I know how to make cheese buns!" I say.

"Alright, calm down. Lets make them then." he says. I smile and jump down. I really do have the best dad ever.

~DREAM END~

I open my tear filled eyes, looking around. Its still dark so I sit up and look to see its only 4:30am. Damn. I swing my legs out of bed and leave the room, walking down the stairs and to the kitchen. I can't handle this...I need this. I open the cupboard under the sink and shuffle through the stuff until I find it. I pull it out, opening it and taking a big swig. The burning of the whiskey makes the pain vanish.
