Chapter 7 || Pour a little salt we were never here

PEETA'S POV

"Katniss!" I yell. I clasp her shoulders trying to shake her out her trance. Her breaths are short and rapid and she has a bewildered and distant look in her eye.

Panic attack. She was having a panic attack, the short rapid breaths, the shaking uncontrollably and the exhaustion that overcame her, these are some of the symptoms of a panic attack.

"Katniss," I yell again. But it's too late, she falls to the ground, hits her head and blacks out.

Shit. I quickly grab ahold of her and carry her bridal style, the frat house is way too far away and Finnick must have already passed out, Who knows where Annie is she was terribly drunk last time I saw her.

I hurriedly walk away from the old fence katniss was leaning against. Grabbing ahold of my phone I check the time '12:45am'. I'm going to have to carry her home, I can't just leave her here, who knows what would happen to her if I did.

Unlocking the door to the dorm I enter swiftly, and Finnick said he would look after the keys. I roll my eyes at the thought. Who knows where they are now. I am not one to get drunk, I never have and never will, that stuff is deadly. To me alcohol is poison. Hating it is an understatement. There is absolutely no purpose of drinking. All it does is damage your immune system.

It was a long walk from the fence. The cool breeze was refreshing though. Katniss slept peacefully in my arms, she is as light as a feather, she nuzzled on my shoulder, snoring lightly hardly making a sound.

I carefully slip off her black ballet flats and place her into her bed, covering her with her blanket and tucking a fine strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Goodnight," I whisper, I am about to turn away from her but as I do I notice a photo frame on her bedside table, there are four people in the photo. A beautiful women with long blonde hair and piercing sky blue eyes, a man; he's tall and has dark chocolate coloured her and silver like grey eyes his skin is tanned and olive just like Katniss's. There is a young girl in the photo as well atleast 4 she has her blond her in two braids, she is a split image of her mother with her blue eyes and fare skin.

"Prim," I whisper, it had to be her. Who else would it be? And last but not least there was a beautiful little girl holding her fathers hand, she was a replica of her father with her wavy chocolate hair and piercing silver eyes. Katniss. Katniss and her family, they looked happy like their lives were perfect the photo was in a meadow with fields of dandelions reaching as far as the eye could see.

What happened to them? Why would she leave to California if she had a family? I cannot stop thinking about the other night when Finnick and I were unpacking.

'We came here to forget, forget about Gale, to forget about our family and the crash, to forget about those people who bullied me, to forget about everything we went through and to start fresh, not to try to commit suicide, everything that you've gone through has made you a stronger person, I know that if I had to go through that I would not be here today, you're the strongest and bravest person I know.'

She doesn't make sense, it all seems to be gibberish to me. Glancing at the photo for the last time I quietly exit the room, I enter the bathroom and splash cold fresh water on my face, walking out of the bathroom I yawn tiredly and change into my boxers. I enter my bed and fall into a deep sleep of emptiness and oblivion.

KATNISS POV

I wake up with a jolt, my head is aching and my joints are sore. The last thing I remember was Peeta and how he wanted to help me. Shit. I had panic attack, I only ever have them when something horribly bad happens and when I do I pass out. I totally messed up, I turn to my side and see Annie lying on top of her bed, her hair is literally a lions mane and her makeup is everywhere mine must be like that as well. Wait. How on earth did I get home. Peeta he was the last person I saw. Did he take me home? betrayal and guilt engulfs my body, how could I just let him get to me like that.

This is all my fault if I could just go back in time I would have never gone to that stupid party, I would of had a much better time getting to know the college and where all the rooms are. But no I just had to go to that goddam party.

Feeling like smoke would come out of my ears I rapidly get out of bed and take a relaxing and refreshing shower.
My anger and stress seemed to go down the drain with the cool water.

Coming out of the shower, I get changed into some tights and a sports singlet. After tying the laces of my joggers. I jam my iPod into my pocket and crank up the volume of my music.

Quietly exiting the dorm, I speed walk out of the building and run. I can't let Peeta get to me. I say to myself. I pick up my pace a notch, loving the cool air fly against me as well as the numbing feeling that slowly spreads throughout my body.

The closer he gets to me the more he'll find out. I can't let that happen. I can't let my guard down, not this time around.
