The Hunger Games- After The Rebellion

Chapter 4

Katniss POV:
As the sun starts to set I get my pyjamas on and get into my neatly made bed. I prop up my pillows the way I like them and fall asleep.
I start to think about Peeta and see President Snow with peace keepers holding him back by the arms. I try to run and save him but I'm trapped in a unbreakable glass room. I start to yell but what I don't realize is I'm screaming out loud. I see Snow putting his hand reaching for something in his pocket. I ask him "what are you doing here because I thought I killed you but I guess not". He answers with " Well yes you are right, you did kill me but I rose from the dead" as he says that the smell of blood and roses intensifies in the glass room. Snow finally finds what he's looking for in his pocket and takes out a gun. He points it to Peeta's head and shoots.
I wake up sweaty and screaming. I hear the front door slam open and close and see Peeta running to me and checking on me, then he starts leaving then I say " Peeta stay with me?" he responds in a tired voice " always ".
I wake up with my hand on his bare chest and head on his chest also with bits of hair in my face. I look up and gently kiss him on the lips. Peeta wakes me up and something about that kiss must have triggered something in his mind because he pushes me off the bed violently and says "get away from me you mutt". As he slams me against the floor. Then he starts punching me rapidly. "Peeta!" I yell, he stops and stands up. On his face he has a surprised look on his face and helps me up as he says sorry many times.
"Katniss this was I was afraid of. I could have killed you!" He yells but not in a mean way, in a worried caring way. "Peeta " I say after he starts walking out of my room and he looks back at me " look Katniss I do love you, I really do I just can't take the chance that I might kill you, if I did I wouldn't be able to live with myself. "oh Peeta" I say. "Look I love you too Peeta but I would rather die happy with you then die alone with no one I love" I finish and he walks back in my room gives me a final gentle kiss and walks out of my house in the victors village and I hear Peeta walk in his house and close the door.
I sit on my bed and start crying, not because of sadness but of how much I realized I had missed being with him and his warm protective arms.
