I can't believe this . I just risked my life to save him . And it didn't work !! They had him locked up and guarded so heavily , that I couldn't make it . I couldn't save him . Katniss is going to be so upset . What am I going to tell her ? That I failed ? I'm sorry Katniss , I'm sorry I couldn't save the love of your life . NO !!! Then I would be lying to her . To her and myself . How am I supposed to tell her that I'm not sorry . I'm not sorry that I couldn't save him . In fact , I'm relieved . I'm relieved that he is still there , and I'm here . Because now I get to be the one there for her .

It was always him . Katniss wants to go to him . Never to me --- because he knows what I'm going through . Whatever . I was there with her for years . YEARS !!!!!!!! But she pretends to love him for a few months and BAM !! She is in love with him . All I hear is Peeta and Katniss , Peeta and Katniss , star crossed lovers of district 12 !!! The girl on fire !!!! .... The boy with the bread !! But never me . I am in the shadows . Mistaken for her cousin . Yet I saved hundreds of life's . And while they were what ? Wrapping a tree with wire ?? Following some stupid plan that got millions killed . The pan that started a rebellion . With false hope that , a bird with broken wings , will be able to fly them to safety .
