Chapter 1
I was lying in my District 13 bed like I have been for weeks. Mourning, weeping, and sleeping was the only things I was doing. Prim is gone. What more do I have to live for. I was curled up in the cotton sheets, crying silently, when the door to my room opened. I stayed still, not moving a single muscle on my limp, weak body. A blonde haired boy my age appeared and sat next to me. He pulled the covers off my face. I was turned away from him, but I knew who it was. He started moving my brown hair out of my eyes. We were silent for a few seconds until he began to speak. "You can't stay in your room forever, Katniss." I closed my eyes and a quiet tear escaped my brown iris. "You don't understand," I muttered, mustering all my strength to say these three words. "Just because my family didn't love me doesn't mean I didn't love them. They were the only thing I had. Besides you." I turned to face him. His messy blonde hair and blue pools for eyes were stellar for the ladies in District 12. He smiled at me and said, "I can only be with you for a few hours a day. Don't ruin it." I cracked a smile for the first time in as long as I remember. "Please come out of this hell that you're living in. Come on. I bet it has been forever since you've eaten. We can go to the dining room. The cuisine has improved a bit," he told me. "Ok, but only for you Peeta." He rubbed shoulder. We stood up and headed to the door. Peeta put his hand on the knob. "Are you ready?" he asked me. I nodded and he turned knob towards me.
