True love

Chapter 8 Katniss

After having a little two hour visit with Peeta, I kind of feel a little better. But, I want the boy with the bread to stay with me at night and ward off the nightmares I have, just like it was on the trains to the Capitol and the Victory tour. I feel like, like, I am starting to love Peeta.

I just noticed something. Peeta is a type of bread and that is Peeta's name. And he is the boy with the bread. Funny.

I have a new love for Peeta. I actually love him more than I did in the Quarter-Quell. He is acting sweeter than he used to. I might just be thinking that or he really is. But, I like it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Miss Everdeen, it's time to go and make our way to the Capitol."
"Okay Plutarch, Peeta is coming right?" I say concerned.
"Yes, indeed Miss Everdeen. Why might you ask?"

Oh great now he is wondering why?!

"I just don't want him to choke me again." I say laughing a little.
"Ha, yes. Boggs will make sure that, that will not happen again. So Miss Everdeen, shall we?"
"We shall" I cut in before he can say anymore and ten we both stand up in unison to leave the Command room so I can get on the Hovercraft that is taking a team of about twenty people who are going to the Capitol with the Mockingjay to kill and defeat President Snow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I see Peeta siting across from me on the Hovercraft and see that he is wearing silver metal handcuffs. I can also see that there is dry blood around them.

Why are his hands like that? I ask my self.

"Hey... umm... Peeta, why is there dry blood around your wrists?" I automatically ask him.

"Umm... they put these handcuffs on me and I have been trying to fight back the bad flashbacks of you that the Capitol put in my head. I clutch my fists together and am forcing my wrists to be hurt so I can get the flashbacks I be shorter."

Wow!

"Peeta, you shouldn't do that, your hands might have you bleed to death or you can cut..."
"Ok Miss Everdeen we have to go."

Great Boggs, thank you souch for interrupting me. I'm trying to tell Peeta something so he can't die!!!

"5...4...3...2...1"

We jump out of the Hovercraft one by one. Of course I'm with Peeta and Boggs. I love Peeta and Boggs, but I'm kind of afraid to be close to Peeta.

"Hey Katniss, look, in the Arena I should have stayed with you. I should have never let Johanna, Finick, and Beetee tear is apart. I would have died right then and there just to be with you." He must really feel bad now.

"Look Katniss, I've tried to escape the Capitol with Johanna, it never worked the Peacekeepers... they... they always are around the whole building and we both almost got killed. And... and it's all my fault." He's now getting tears in his eyes and I'm trying to hold back mine but can't so we both are holding are hugging each other and crying our hearts out.

"Peeta... its... its... its... it's ok. You don't need to feel bad. It was me who resided to leave you and I should have never done that. I... I... I feel so terrible for what I have done."
"Here we go you to soldiers were are here in the Capitol."
"Ok" ~sniff~ "Thank you Boggs for staying with us to make sure, you know who, won't kill me."
"Your welcome soldier Everdeen."
We land on the ground and Peeta doesn't want to leave my side. I get he wants to be with me every second of the mission, but I'm kind of wanting Boggs to be with me to so that Peeta won't kill me.
