It was another night with horror-filled nightmares, the screams from people she loved and the memories of the arena were too much to bear. Katniss decided to walk to peeta's house for some release and comfort. careful not to wake her mother, she silently crept from the stairs and out the door. Past Haymitch's house and up Peeta's steps. She knocked on the door lightly. No answer. Again. No answer. Must be asleep, she thought to herself, i'll have to bear until morning. She groggily turns around and heads towards Home. Katniss hears her name and looks behind her. "Peeta" she says silently and runs towards him. "I was just coming over because I heard your screams..." Peeta says embracing Katniss in his arms. "Bad night?" Peeta asks. Katniss replies with a nod and Peeta leads her to Katniss' home. When they arrive they both creep up to her room and into her bed. Peeta tucks Katniss into bed and kisses her right temple. She slowly starts to drift off, knowing Peeta is there for her, she whispers three last words to him as she dozes off, "Stay with me" Peeta softly whispers in her ear "Always."
