I wake up screaming to realize Peeta isn't by my side, he isn't there to hold me and tell me everything will be okay. I try to calm myself down and eventually cry myself to sleep. In the morning when I wake I force myself to get out of bed and miserably drag myself downstairs to eat, there's really no point in living anymore. I've lost everyone I've cared about, Prim, father, Peeta,Gale... I snap back from my thoughts to look out the window and see Peeta out in his frontyard. I remember his touch, the warmth of his arms on my skin & his gentle kisses. I stare at him for as long as I can until he turns to see me & waves, I honestly don't know how to respond because I'm so startled & just wave back. Soon I realize he's making his way over to my house and I start to panic since I'm a mess. I run upstairs as quickly as my feet allow me & put something decent on and head back down. I open the door to see Peeta standing there & I can't help, but blush. "Come in.", I say barely audible. He walks in & before I even realize it I blurt out,"I love you Peeta." I cover my mouth. What had I just done? Peeta takes a while to process it and then smirks. "I love you too Katniss," he replies. At first I feel relief, but that's until he continues his sentence, " That's just what we friends do, right?" A feeling I've only felt when Prim died hits me. I feel like crying, like screaming, I just want to run upstairs to my room and die.
