For Better Or Worse [Everlark]

Chapter 3: Explaining

Edited

*Katniss POV*

I'm at my house and I feel exhausted. All I want to do is forget that this day ever happened. I grab my jacket and head out the door. Maybe a little walk through the woods would take my mind of things. I walk into the woods and realize that it's such a beautiful day today, the sun shines through the tree leaves, the lake flows calmly, and the birds chirp peacefully. I usually come here when I have nothing to do and I usually hunt or sing but this time since I don't have my bow and arrows I just sing a little song my dad sang to me when I was little.

"Are you, are you, coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things do happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree."

"I have really missed that voice."
I turn around to see surprisingly Peeta.

"Are you following me? I thought you hated me."

"I still do but I just decided that I could take a walk here in these woods too."

"Great I was trying to forget this whole day ever happened by taking a walk, but now your'e here so that's not really helping. Well since you are here I have to ask you, why do you hate me so much, we used to be best friends remember?"

"Katniss, you really dont see it." He says as he looks down.

"No I don't and that's why i want you to tell me."

"Fine, in 6th grade you and I used to be best friends until that bitch Gale came to our class remember? Well ever since you and Gale were hanging out a lot, you guys never invited me to play with you guys, and you guys didn't include me in anything until i moved away, that's when you started to hang out with me more but still with Gale more too." He says. Is he really mad at me for just that? That was years ago! Although I put myself in his shoes and I realize that it really must have felt like shit to witness that.

"Oh, but wait you said it was okay to hang out with Gale, and also I dont even hang out with Gale anymore as much. We don't even talk as much anymore! And why do you care this much about losing me since that was a long while ago."

"Katniss can't you see that I've had a crush on you since 4th grade! That's also why I have started smoking and doing drugs, to have something that distracts me from thinking about you." I stay frozen in my tracks.

"Peeta I didn't know."

"Well of course you didn't im such a fool for not telling you this earlier. But it doesnt matter anymore anyways. Anways I have to go." He leaves the woods. I don't really know how to feel about what just happened. I may have liked Peeta too but I eventually got over it since I knew he wouldn't like me back. Right now, I don't know what I feel anymore.

*PEETA POV*
Ugh my head hurts now. All that shouting really gave me a headache. Was it the right thing to say to Katniss? Was it really worth it to shout at her and saying the truth? Well that doesn't matter anyways because no matter how hard I try, she will never like me back. But without her I can't even breathe. Fuck, I'm a huge fucked up mess.
