Together

Two Weeks

After last night all I can think about is peeta. Does he like me? Why is this bugging me so much? Do I care about him in that kind of a way? I don't know, thinking about it makes my head hurt. I need to get out of this stuffy house.

I get dress and braid my hair to its regular side braid. On my way to the door I grab an apple, some money, incase I go to the hob, and my game bag. Once I'm outside I see the person that made me so confused over the past week. Peeta.

I sneak past peeta by crawling behind some bushes, he doesn't see me. I spend the rest of the walk kicking a rock.

Once I'm in the woods I feel a little relieved. I haven't been in the woods for awhile, so it's like I've been reunited back with my home. Like I was so close to loosing the woods, which I was. I make my way to the tree trunk and find my hidden bow and arrows.

Today I shot 4 rabbits, 3 squirrels, and I even managed to see a deer and its baby. I didn't shoot it though, I couldn't it looked so peaceful. Why would I take that away from nature. After seeing that I decide to go back home. I don't stop by the hob today, I'm too tired.

Once I'm in the victors village I see the boy that I've been avoiding all day. How do I get in my house without feeling guilty for not seeing him? I try to walk a little faster so he won't see me.

My plan completely back fires when a trip over the curb onto the street. The next thing I see is a blur, but I think I see peeta running towards me and then I see blood getting caught in my eye. With that I black out.

........................................................

"Katniss? Wake up. Katniss?"

I feel peeta shaking me awake.

"I'm awake, I'm awake. What happened?"

"Well you were running then you tripped and hit your head."

I automatically lift my hand to my head and feel a gauze on it. I touch it and feel a sudden pain throughout my body. Not gonna do that again.

"Oh thanks for helping me."

"No problem. See this is what we do, we help each other."

I look up to see a huge grin plastered on his beautiful face. Wait did I just say beautiful, ugh another headache. That doesn't help my wound.

"Haven't I heard that before...from I don't know...ME!"

"Haha, I didn't think you would notice. With your head hurting and all."

"Well you were right about us helping each other. It seems like we're just gonna do this every day."

"Yeah about that....I have to go back to the capital for about two weeks."

I don't know why but this bothers me a little. I think inside I'm gonna miss him.

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

"Two weeks huh?"

"Yeah, you gonna miss me?"

Again he's smiling ear to ear.

"Haha, you wish."

"I do wish."

Did he just say he wishes I'm gonna miss him? He hesitates for a moment before he starts talking again.

"I...I do wish I didn't have to go, I hate the Capitol."

"Oh...yeah I do too."

There's an awkward silence between us until he says something.

"Well I...uh...better get going. I have to leave early tomorrow."

I walk him to the door, when I open it he grabs my arm. I look at him a little shocked and before I can say anything he grabs my waist and kisses me. It's long and passionate. I can feel his hands pulling me in tight like he might loose me. I move my hands to his hair and tangle it a little. I feel fireworks, like the day on the beach during the hunger games. After a little while longer he lets go.

Then he leaves. Not a goodbye or anything. He just left. The first thing I feel is happy.

Then....anger.
