Chapter 1
"You love me? Real or not real?" I tell him "Real.". I look at him and he is staring at me. I forgot how blue his eyes were and I forgot how much I like looking into them. He starts to close the space in between us. We are finally chest to chest. All I could do was wrap my arms around his neck and hold on to him for dead life. He wraps his arms around my waist and does the same. I look around to see the primrose bush that we planted. I start to sob and he pulls me in closer to him. "Its alright." He says. "I know where I belong now, it's where ever you are. I know things may not be the same but we can try to make them the same." "I have loved you since the Quarter Quell." I tell him. "When you were unconscious and I was crying that's when I knew I truly loved you. Now I want you forever. I love you Peeta." "I love you too Katniss." He says. We embrace each other until the sun goes down. "I think you and I have the same favourite colour." I say. He turns to me and laughs then gives me a peck on the cheek.
I wake up in my bed. How did I get here? I was with Peeta, we were watching the sun to down and that's all I remember. I must have fallen asleep on his shoulder and he brought me up to my room. I look around my room and notice that there is a note on my door. I get up and read it. 'Meet me at my townhouse, I have a surprise for you. Peeta' I smile down at the note and start getting ready. I put my hair in a braid and put on a summer dress that Cinna made me. I look down. I miss Cinna so much, he was the one person I could actually talk to and feel comfortable around, other than Gale or Peeta. It was different though, Cinna understood me more than Gale or Peeta did. We had this connection that couldn't be broken. I look at myself in the mirror and smile. I start to head down the stairs and I see buttercup looking at me. I pet her and she purrs. The cat has finally come to its senses. I make my way out the door and go to Peeta's house. I go in and smell something delicious. "Hello?" I call out. Peeta comes rushing out of the kitchen and says "Hey! I made you your favourites!" I go into the kitchen and see that he has made a feast for me! I see cheese buns and pastries. I look at him with the biggest smile, and he returns it. "Shall we eat?" he says. I nod and sit down at the table and start eating a cheese bun. I haven't had one in so long! I forgot how good they were. "Thank you for taking me to my bed last night" I say to him. He looks at me with a smile "Anything for you love."
After we have our breakfast, we decide to go visit Haymitch. We knock on the door but dont here any response so we open the door and walk in. He is passed out at his table with a glass in one hand a knife in the other. I have Peeta a metal tray and told him to hide. He went into another room and stood there quietly. I grab another tray and go wake up Haymitch. I shake him and he stands up and throws a knife in my direction but it ends up above my head. He sees that it is me and finally relaxes. He sits back down and mumbles "What do you want?" Peeta comes into the kitchen and says "We came to visit you Haymitch, wanted to see if you would join us for lunch later on. We are going to call Effie to since we haven't seem her in a while either." I go to dial Effie's number. "Hello?" she says in her Capitol accent. "Hey Effie, its Katniss." "Hello dear! How have you been?" "I'm good, I was wondering if you wanted to join us for lunch later on today?" "Of course darling! I will grab a train and will be down there in an hour!" She hangs up the phone and I turn to Peeta and Haymitch. They are in deep conversation about the past. I don't want to relive the past so I start to leave the house and go sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. I start to remember everything, the first reaping, the second one, both arenas, the rebellion. I start to walk home, and then I feel myself running. All I want to do is look in the book. I get to my house and burst through the door, sobbing. I go to the fire mantel and find the book. I start flipping through the pages, examining each one carefully. Eventually I am on the floor crying hysterically. I hear the door open but I don't pay any attention to it. Finally, Peeta pulls me into his arms. I stay there sobbing into his chest. "Why did this have to happen to me?" I ask. "I don't know, strange things happen to good people and no one knows why." I look into his eyes. I see the boy who threw me the bread. I stay there in his arms until I stop crying. Then we hear a knock on the door.
Peeta brings me upstairs to my room. "Stay here, I will go see who it is." He gives me a peck on the cheek and leaves my room. I'm cold, and tired. I go under the covers and close my eyes. Then the nightmare begins. I running towards the cornucopia with Peeta. Peeta's leg is torn up so he can't run fast. The dogs appear out of no where, and they attack Peeta! "Peeta!" I scream out! Then I hear "Katniss! Katniss, wake up!" I jolt awake, and see Peeta standing over me. I realize that I am crying and sweating and the blankets are every where. "Hi." I say, I can't come up with anymore words. "Hi," Peeta smiles. "Effie and Haymitch are here. That's who was at the door. Would you like to come see them?" I nod and he helps be out of bed. I go down the stairs and smile to Effie. "Hi Effie!" I say. "Hello dear!" She comes over and hugs me. Peeta made a very good lunch, one of my favourites, lamb and dried plum stew. I started to scarf down the stew when I hear, "Katniss, that is not lady-like at all!" I turn to see Effie staring me down. I sit up and start eating the soup politely, like a lady. "So Peeta," Effie says. " What have you been up to?" "Not much, just been taking care of Katniss." He looks over to me and smiles. I give him one back. "That's sweet! I am working on a new clothing line you know?" Peeta, Haymitch and I all turn to her and can't help but laugh. Haymitch even has tears coming out of his eyes. "That's a good one Effie!" Haymitch says. "I'm serious Haymitch! Would you like to see some of my designs?" I finally calm down, but Peeta and Haymitch are still howling. I turn to Effie and say "I would love to see them Effie." She gives me a big smile and pulls out her book. I start flipping through the pages, examining each style. "Effie, these are amazing! I would wear these and I you know I don't like your fashion!" Haymitch and Peeta catch what I say and finally stop laughing. "Let me see that!" Haymitch says. Him and Peeta start going through the book. They are as shocked as me. "Wow Effie! You have a great talent!" Peeta says. "Thank you! I hope to get them made in two years." We all continue to talk and laugh about, well basically everything. They stayed for so long it went straight into the evening. Effie and Haymitch finally leave. Peeta and I say our good-byes and close the door behind them. "Quite a day, don't you think?" he asks me. I nod then start to yawn. "I'm tired," I say. "Will you spend the night with me, I don't think I want to have any nightmares tonight." he nods and we go up to bed. I fall asleep in his arms.
