I Never Knew - Everlark FanFiction

Chapter 13 - Break Up

Peeta's POV:

It's been a week since I agreed to go out with Delly again. A week since Katniss spoke to me as well. I don't even know why I said yes to Delly. She's not my type anymore, she's annoying an she cheated on me before for God's sake. What point was I actually trying to prove? Or what did I do to Katniss? Did I do it to make her jealous? I thought she didn't like me in that way, and I still don't think she does. Maybe she's just upset because she likes being the only girl in my life, even if she's only my best friend. That's probably it. There's no way an amazing girl like that woulld go out with boring old me.

"Peetie!" Delly squeals as she runs over to me in the square. Oh, God. I can't escape her. "Wanna come over to mine later?" She smirks and winks.

I don't know how much longer I can put up with this.

"Delly. We need to talk." Her smile drops as I pull her over to the same bench where she broke up with me before. "I don't think we should she each other anymore."

Tears form in her eyes, "You said you loved me, Peetie."

"Um, no. I don't think I did." I shake my head. "But I thought that getting back together with you would make me happy, but I just really, really don't feel the same about as I did before. And also I thought about it, and I don't see why I shoud've given you a second chance after you cheated on me."

"Fine." She sobs. "I won't bother you anymore. And I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your life." She attempts a smile through the tears.

"I wish you the best as well." I say, pulling her into a quick last hug and then leaving.

~time flash, at home~

"Hey guys." I say as I walk through the front door. "I just dumped Delly."

They gasp and a surprised and excited look spreads across all of their faces.

"Does this mean that Peeta Bread is gonna gobble up Kitty Kat?" Finnick asks hopefully. Man, he's weird.

"I urm, I don't know. Do I make it that obvious? You know, my massive crush?" I sigh.

"Lemme rephrase that for you." Marvel speaks up. "'Do you make it overly obvious?' and it's more like being completely, utterly, truly, madly, deeply head-over-heels in love with her."

My cheeks heat up and Gale saves me from my embarresment. "Johanna just asked if we wanted to go over to their's for tea...?"

"Sure!" Finnick says.

We head over to the girl's house for tea. I walk into the kitchen to assist whoever is making the food and it smells really nice.

"Hi, need any help?" I ask.

Two droopy, dull grey eyes meet mine. My heart shatters at the sight. Has Katniss really been that upset? Surely, it must have been something else. Surely.

She hesitates. "Um, I guess so. I'm making spagetti bolognese."

I help her out. Most of the process is done in silence, but I can't take it any more. I need to talk to her. I miss her.

"I missed you." I blurt out.

"What? Why?" She pretends like she doesn't know what I mean. I know when she's lying.

"You haven't spoken to me for about a week." I mumble, the thought making me sad.

"Or, you just haven't tried to speak to me." Katniss tries to hide her sadness.

"But we're supposed to be best mates. We come together naturally unless something's bothering one of them."

She freezes, but then quickly carries on. "Nothing's bothering me. Why on Earth would you think that?"

I hake my head. "Katniss, I know when you're lying."

"I'm just- I'm just a little bit jaluhs..." She mumbles the last word. I know what she meant.

I smirk, "Sorry... what was that?"

"I WAS JEALOUS OKAY?" She says loudly.

"Why?"

"I just don't like that Delly girl or whatever her face is." She mutters.

"Nah, me neither."

She stops to look at me, her face blank.

"You mean you-" I cut her off by nodding my head. She jumps up and hugs me as tight as possible. Then she realises what she's doing and lets go, doing an awkward cough and wiping the ear-toear grin off of her face. "I mean, I'm errr... sorry for your loss."

"Don't be." I laugh. And we go in to serve the food to the rest of the group.

Katniss' POV:

OH MY GOD. They broke up?! This is perfe- I mean, good for Peeta to have broken up with her when he didn't feel the relationship was right. I'm fricking hyper now though. The dinner was full of laughs and happiness.

I got my best friend back.

I know it won't be more though. As much as I want it to, he has already proved that he only likes me as a best mate. God dammit. But surely, Delly wasn't the person he had a crush on. I'll have to find out more...

Ew I hate Cartark/Mellwright/Pelly/Deeta. They suck dick.
