True or false?

The war is over. I'm Katniss Everdeen and I participated. I wanted to die, but I couldn't let him alone. There's this guy, called Peeta Melark. He is too good for me, he always loved me and he always tried to protect me. I thought that I was in love with Gale, that's my best friend, but I didn't see him yet. Because of Gale I didn't know that I was in love with Peeta, but I realized that he's my true love.

He's here with me in 12. I want to tell the truth. I want to tell him that I'm in love with him, but I don't know how. I'm nervous but I'll tell. Today.

"Katniss?" said Peeta.

"Hi, Peeta! Can I come in? " I said

"Sure, come in, you're welcome here."

"Thank you, I really need to talk to you"

"It's there a problem?"

"No! Off course not. I just wanted to..."

"To...? Are you ok, Katniss?"

"Yes, I wanted to... Ask something..."

"Sure... What?"

"Can you come to my house? I need some help to draw and paint the people in my book, and you know I'm not as good as you when it comes to painting"

"Sure, I'll help you "Said Peeta, a little bit disappointed

... In my house...
"Where's the book? " Peeta asked.

"It's upstairs" I said

"I'll wait"

"No! You can come with me"

"Ok..."

"It's here "I said.

"Ok, sit here." said Peeta.

We talked a little bit, but I slept. I dreamed about my sister's death, I have a lot of nightmares because of this and because of Rue's death as well. The war wasn't easy. A lot of people died and a lot of things changed. The 12 was destroyed, but I like to live here, I like to think that nothing happened, but, when I sleep, I can't pretend. I always have this nightmare, but, when I woke up that day, I was in Peeta's arms and this made me calm again.

Everything was ok, I was ok, and he was ok too, that's the only thing that matters now. In that time I noticed... I can be sad about my sister, about the war, about the destruction that happened, I can be sad about everything, but it wouldn't change a thing, Finnick it's not here anymore ,not even Prim is here, so I need to move on, I need to live my life for them, and Peeta made me realize this. Peeta made me believe that everything will be alright and he made me happy again. Now I know, I have a hundred percent of sure that he is the one that I need, he is the one that makes me feel good with myself and he is the one that I want.

So when he ask me: "Do you love me. True or false?"

I have no more doubts, I know my answer and I am not afraid anymore... I kiss him and just say.

"True."
