A/N: Okay, here are the last couple chapters I think should have been added to Mockingjay. Suzanne Collins (genius) didn't give enough info on how Peeta and Katniss came back together. So this is how I think it should have happened.

Disclaimer: I own nada.KATNISS POV


I'm running. Fireballs rain down everywhere. One hits me square in the back, but I don't feel anything. I look down and see a hole where my chest should be. Suddenly, I'm in the forest. I hear footsteps behind me. I look back and see Peeta running to catch up to me.

"Katniss!" he calls. "How could you? What the heck is wrong with you?" He is in front of me now, and I can see his furious expression. His forehead is sweating and he's shaking with rage. I'm frozen and can't seem to move as I see his fist rise. My eyes widen. Out of nowhere, I see Capital guards grabbing Peeta from behind before his fist makes contact with my face.

"You're comin' with us" one of them say. Peeta screams in frustration as he struggles to escape the hold the guards have him in. He looks at me, with a look of pure hatred written all over his face. The last thing he says before they drag him away is, "You left me. I thought you were different, Katniss. I loved you." Then he's knocked unconscious.

I wake up screaming, thrashing in my bed. Even though I now realize it was all a dream, I start sobbing. Big, choked, loud sobs. Peeta. I need to see him. Make sure he's okay. I just can't seem to shake the image of his hate out of my head. It's like the hijacking all over again.

I look over at the time and see that it's 4:15 in the morning. My crying seems to have calmed down, slightly, but I'm still shaken. I wonder if my mother heard my screaming. Probably, but she's used to it by now. I get out of bed and slip on my shoes. I tiptoe out of my house, knowing it's probably unnecessary, grabbing my coat along the way. I feel the cold breeze outside, and quickly jog over to Peeta's house across the street.

I stop before I knock. I don't want to wake him up, but at the same I really need to see him. As if sensing my presence, Peeta opens the door before me. I look up at his handsome face. Even just off the bed, he looks stunning. I am mesmerized by his bright, blue eyes, which thankfully lost that glazed look. I don't realize that I'm staring, until Peeta clears his throat.

"Um, Katniss? What are you doing here?" I look down, suddenly embarrassed. What was I supposed to say? I just wanted to see if he was still alive? I needed to see his face? But I realize it's more than that. This boy, or should I say man, has an effect over me. I need him. I need his assurance that everything is fine even when it's not. I look up.

"I wanted to see you." I say. I feel my cheeks blush. What is up with me? He notices and stares at my face. He roams all over, taking in my whole bed-ridden state. He finally meets my eyes. Unexpectedly, he also blushes. I can't help but notice how innocent he looks like that. I blush even more, and surprisingly, Peeta smiles and ushers me inside.

PEETA POV

Katniss is at my door step. I studied her face, and all her features. She obviously just rolled out of bed, still in her pajamas. But even like that, I can't help but notice how pretty she looks. Her cheeks are slightly red, making her look cute. I meet her eyes, embarrassed and start to blush.

Weird. She blushes even more, and I suddenly feel the awkwardness of the situation. I silently usher Katniss in, and she follows me to the living room. She slowly sits down, and I follow suit, sitting on the opposite couch. She notices this, but doesn't say anything. I look at Katniss expectantly, waiting for her to speak. When she realizes I'm waiting, she her face turns red again.

"So…how are you?" she says. I look puzzled, but answer anyway.

"'I'm good," I say. She nods, stalling for time. Then all of a sudden, she starts to cry. And I mean really cry. Like, tears streaming down her face and sobs racking through her body. I just sit on the couch, shocked. I run over and sit next to her. Hesitantly, I take her chin and bring her head up to look at me.

"Katniss, what's wrong?" She just continues to cry, not meeting my eyes. Not knowing what else to do, I put my arms around her thin body and hold her to my chest. This is the closest we've ever been since the Quarter Quell before I was captured. I feel that cloudiness coming over me, but I easily ignore it. It wasn't big enough for me to struggle for control. When it passes, I just hold Katniss tighter. I can feel her shaking, as she clutches me, holding on for support. As I hold her warm body, I remember how we used to sleep together on the train going to the Quarter Quell. I realize I miss holding her, regardless of if she returned my feelings for her or not.

As Katniss starts to calm down, I pull back, my arms still around her waist, to look at her face. I wipe her tears from her beautiful face. Oh no, here we go again. I'm falling for her. It seems like no amount of Capital hijacking can take away my feelings for this girl in front of me. Too bad my feelings for her aren't reciprocated. But it doesn't matter. I love her, and no one, not even her, can change my feelings.

KATNISS POV

As Peeta holds me, and looks into my eyes, I feel much better. He wipes my tear tracks from my face with his thumb as we stare at each other. His gaze is like a warm embrace; they look so loving and clear. So different from what I saw just several weeks ago. I wonder if the real Peeta really can return to me. I need him now more than ever.

"Peeta, I'm sorry." I begin. "I don't know what came over me. My nightmares seemed to have gotten worse lately, and I had a particularly bad one tonight." Tears come to my eyes just thinking about it. "I was in the forest, and you were mad at me," I start sobbing again. Peeta's arms tighten around me. "and then some people took you away and then you were shouting at me and you looked at me like-like-" Peeta stops my babbling by putting a finger on my lips.

"Shhh, Katniss, its okay. I would never do that again. The Capital can't make me one of their mutts."

"But-"

"Katniss, I'll never hurt you like that again." He rubs my arms. "I'm so sorry this whole thing happened. I should have never let you out of my sight in the first place. It's all my-"

"No, Peeta." I say loudly. "You can't blame yourself. I was the one who let you go. I let you out of my sight and I shouldn't have. I let you down Peeta," I cry. He's about to say something but I interrupt him again. "Please don't blame yourself. It just makes me feel even worse." I'm crying fully now. "You should know more than anyone that I'm selfish, mean, and a coward." I'm about to continue, but this time he interrupts me.

"Katniss." He says, and I see his eyes are glassy, from tears. "Everyone can be like that at times, including me." His hand cups the side of my face. "But they don't define us. What defines us are our good deeds. You for example, I know, would die for your sister. You went into the games knowing you wouldn't come out. You even risked your life to save me in the Games to nurse me back to health. You barely knew me back then. Yet, you went to the Cornucopia to save my life. And let's not forget Rue. You knew her for a short time, but you had such a connection with her." He gazes at me so lovingly, so caring. "Those characteristics don't describe you. You're sympathetic, brave, loving, unselfish, and brilliant. Don't let what the Capital made me change that."

We stare at each other, both of us in silent tears. Slowly we start to lean towards each other. Suddenly, the worst thing possible happens. Peeta starts to have one of his flashbacks. He pushes me away and I go tumbling off the couch. He runs to the kitchen and I follow, seeing him curl up in a corner.

"Peeta!" I shout. I run over next to him. "Look at me!" I try to pull his hands from his face. When I do, the same look of hatred from my dream stares back at me. He pulls his hands away.

"Stay away from me." He hisses.
