Extinguished (a post mockingjay story)

resilience

***Katniss POV ***

When I wake up I'm back in my bed. I roll over and I realize that I'm not alone I rub my eyes so I can see clearly it's Peeta. "Good evening" "why am I not dead" I say stupidly but I know why it's because Peeta Mellark has saved my life once again. "Well I followed into the woods you were trying to kill you self so I tackled you and you tried to get me to kill you then you went unconscious I carried you back here and you woke up." He say as if it's a normal day "listen Peeta whatever deal I made with you that you would always protect me and keep me from doing something stupid you don't have to keep up to that." I say "you listen I will not just let you throw away you life" he says with a strict tone "you know what Peeta why do you keep trying to save me I mean what's it to you if I die? Is it because you think you it's you way to make up for the time you tried to kill m-" and I am all of a sudden cut off by Peeta's lips on mine and much to his and my surprise I kiss him back. He is first to break away "I've wanted to do that since the first night I came back" he says "Katniss I love you more then you know and I just can't even imagine a life with out you in it in some way. I wouldnr care if you wanted to be just friends or more then friends I just want you to be in my life." With his words lingering in the air I grab his hand as a signal that I want the same thing for him to be apart of my life. after that we just lay there in each other's arms because both of us have longed for this kind of closeness for what feels like years. Maybe you do love Peeta more that a friend. I mean we have both been through two hunger games faking a love story and one rebellion together. To be honest and it might be selfish but I wouldn't rather done it with anyone else and with that thought we both fall asleep.

When I wake I'm holding someone's hand and that when I remember that I'm in Peeta's house. "Morning sleepyhead" he says with a yawn "morning" I never realized this but Peeta's eyelash's are super long they are almost as if they are fake. It's hard to see why the don't get tangled up every time he blinks. " No nightmares?" He ask "no nightmares" I reply with a small smile "I'm going to go make something to eat are you staying or are u leaving right away." He says in a neutral tone " umm I would love to stay but I have to do something" I would love to stay but I don't think Haymich will be pleased when he comes to check on me and I'm gone. Considering he only checks on me twice every three weeks and all he asked is that I'm there I have to go. So I thank Peeta throw on my shoes and walk out the door. When I get home I go up to my bed room and lay down again. I think about the boy next door. The boy that I kissed but this kiss was different then the ones we have shared before there has only ever been one kiss that made me want a thousand more. The one we had on the beach in the quarter quell. I had almost forgotten what kissing Peeta was like. it's almost like sitting on a beach and letting the waves splash over you or the wind blowing threw someone's hair it makes you feel balanced. Almost as if it had just the right amount of love along with want,anger and endearment. His lips were as soft as silk and he smelled of cinnamon and dill. I wonder what He must have been barking last and with that my door practically flies off the hinges because someone is walking into my house like they own the place.

"Sweetheart I'm here are you still alive?" Haymich yells into the house

"Yup upstairs" I yell back

"Well well she alive and she talks what a rare sight." He says with his drunken tone

"Shut up haymich"

"Listen I came to tell you that I know that you tried again yesterday" he says almost as if it causes him physical pain with every word
"Katniss we can't do this anymore you can't put us through this anymore if you're not happy I'll sign some papers so that you can have what you want because I can't do it neither can your mother." I look at him puzzled "Mother?" " yes all the phone calls that you ignore from Dr.Aurelius well one of them was from your mother and then she called me I have filled her in on your situation. she is not pleased better yet she is worried sick"he says "well  I don't know what to do" I say " Maybe you should try talking to her because after all Katniss she your mother" he says slightly less aggravated "when did you get so wise" he laughs and then leaves my house  maybe life would be slightly more tolerable with my mother in it the worst that could happen is that she won't love
me anymore but I went two years with out her so I mean I've done it before. He did say something about signing some papers that could give me what I want but to be honest I don't want to die as much as I did yesterday I fell as if i have something to live for Maybe even someone to fight for and his name is

                              PEETA.
