Chapter Fifty Three

PEETA'S POV

I smile widely as I help Katniss up the stairs to our house back in district twelve. I look down at the wrist band that still states she is mentally disoriented but she doesn't pay attention to it, she's watching the door.

I grin down at her, moving her braid gently. "You ready to see everyone? They've missed you." She nods quickly and I giggle. I open the door to see Gale holding Willow, Emily setting a cake down on the table, Haymitch smiling broadly. "Well hey there sweetheart, we knew ya straighten up." Katniss laughs.

"I just had to clear my head." She takes my hand slowly. "Peeta helped, if he wasn't there I don't think I would be here." I kiss her lips gently. "You know you did it on your own sweetheart, I didn't do any of it." She kisses my nose. "No you did help me." Then she looks down at Willow. Willows arms stretch out for her mother and Katniss grins, scooping her up. "Hi baby, did you miss me?"

Willow kisses Katniss's cheek

and Katniss's laugh rings out through the house, making me smile and everyone else smile wider. Katniss rests her forehead against Willows and chuckles. "I love you." "I wove you mama." Then Katniss looks over at the cake Emily made. "Oh Emily you didn't have to do this." She shakes her head. "No I didn't but I wanted to do it for you, I know that it's your favorite, lemon cake I just wanted to make this special for you."

Emily has tears rolling down her cheeks and Haymitch pats her back. "It's okay honey." Katniss hugs Emily and looks at Haymitch. "Still sober old man?" He laughs, kissing her cheek. "Still haven't lost your sense of humor, when you were gone I slipped a little..." He looks at the floor and I look at Emily. "What happened Emily?" She shakes her head.

"Let's not talk about it, we're trying to have a happy moment and I just don't think-" "I hit Emily over the head with a liquor bottle, I gave her a concussion... She was lucky she lived." Katniss looks at Haymitch, her grey eyes gleaming. "Haymitch..." Emily shakes her head. "Don't think about it right now, please I don't want to upset anyone lets just enjoy each other and have a good time being around Katniss."

Then the front door opens and we all turn to see Effie Trinket, in a multi colored dress, in a white poofy wig with multicolored lipgloss. "Heeeellllllllooooo! Katniss darling you look beautiful!" She rushes in and kisses my cheeks then rushes over to Katniss and kisses her cheeks. "God your just stunning!" Then she looks at Haymitch. "Haymitch." He growls. "Effie." I raise an eyebrow at the tension between them. "Is everything alright?" Emily asks softly and Effie smiles.

"Oh yes, everything is perfectly fine, I'm just here for the welcome home party, because aren't I the life of it?" She says laughing. "More like the death of it." Haymitch grumbles and Emily smacks his shoulder. "Haymitch Abanarthy that was horribly rude." He just chuckles. Effie looks at me. "Peeta may I speak with you for a moment?" I nod. "Yes of course Effie." She takes my arm and drags me out of the house as Katniss watches me with Willow grabbing her braid and Haymitch glaring. She opens the door and I close it for her.

She let's go of me as the sun dances on her colorful dress. "You're going to think I'm crazy Peeta, you really are, more crazy than Cesar Flickermen on New Years, but I just have to get this off my chest it has been suffocating me for years now." She is pacing and right then I knew that something was really wrong. "Effie? What's bothering you?" "It's crazy I don't know if I should tell you-" "Effie just tell me!" She bites her lip then bursts.

"I'm in love with Haymitch! More than I love mahogany! Peeta I love him more than anything!" My mouth drops to the ground. I don't know what to say, I'm so shocked. Effie throws her hands in the air. "Well don't just sit there and boggle at me like some kind of idiot Peeta!" I chuckle softly. "I think that's the only thing I can do." She throws her lipgloss at me. "Help me Peeta! You got Katniss when she didn't want anything to do with you! Show me what to do."

"Hey she was interested in me." Effie laughs. "Yes just like buttercup is interested in a bath!" I roll my eyes. "The thing is Effie, I don't know if I can." And that's the truth, I have no idea what I am about to do.
