*Evid's POV*

I didn't tell him I was one of the people from District 12. Of course I know of him. I know Katniss and I know Haymitch.

But no one back in District 12 knew he is still alive.

Even Katniss.

*Mom and I walk our way home*

Mom: So how's your day today my little boy?

Evid: I met a guy.

Mom: His name?

Evid: *looks at her* Peeta

Mom: District 12?

Evid: Yeah. Peeta Mellark.

Mom: You kidding, right?

Evid: No mom. He is alive. *sigh* and he is kinda out of himself?

Mom: How come?

Evid: He doesn't know himself. Like he's back to square one.

I know she's not gonna believe me unless she sees it.

Evid: I'm gonna meet him later this afternoon. Wanna come?

Mom: *nods*

So we waited.

And went to where we planned to meet.

Seeing Peeta reminds me of my District. We might be the farthest from the Capitol, and our lives might not be the best there, I still miss being there.

Peeta sits there right just as promised.

Evid: *pats his shoulder* Hey Peeta.

Mom: *surprised* It really is.... Peeta... Peeta Mellark.

Peeta: *smiles*

Mom: You're still alive!

Evid: I told you to my mom.

Peeta: Just don't see me as a harm. I just wanna know who I was.

Mom: No, no. I just couldn't believe it.

And so Mom decided that we take care of Peeta for a while until his memories come back.

Peeta: Must there be someone finding me? Or... Ka.. Katniss?

Evid: Katniss is with her boyfriend now.

Peeta: Oh... *looked down*

Evid: But you can find yours.

Peeta: I'm not ready yet.

Evid: You just can't predict.

Peeta: *laughs*

Behind the soul ready for combat anytime was a side not everyone could see in him. There were fear in his eyes. And... He was desperate to be loved.
