It had been like this for months now. Ever since Peeta and I got back from the Hunger games he has turned into a different person. When we arrived in district 12 we decided to move in together in the victors village, but since he found out about me and Gales kiss he has started treating me like i'm nothing and beating me frequently. At first I thought it was just a phase and it would all blow over, but over the weeks the beatings have been getting worse and worse.
"Katniss i'm sorry please open the door"
"Peeta why do you keep doing this " I was trying to mask the hurt in my voice.
"Katniss i'm sorry I promise this is the last time this will ever happen again"
He always said that every single time and for some reason i always fell for it. I always thought that i was strong and new how to deal with other people, but somehow Peeta broke me, .somehow almost every night Peeta has my hugging my knees and crying in this corner. Though no matter what i cant bring myself to hate him. I deserve this and i know i do. Peeta deserves better than me he's right I am nothing and deserve whatever he does to me. As i'm lost in my thoughts I hear Peeta start to shout.
" Katniss you worthless slut open this fucking door right now". I try to move but cant bring myself to move from the position i'm in. "Katniss I swear anything your imagining me doing to you right now will be 10 times worse if you don't open this FUCKING DOOR". The thought of him beating me worse than i'm imagining makes me get off the floor and slowly walk to the door. When i slightly open it Peeta pushes the door into my face.
" Why don't you fucking listen" he shouts. He then throws me to the ground and starts kicking me in my gut. I try to get into the fetal position but when i do that he just kicks me in the head. "Things like this wouldn't happen to you if you just fucking listened" he shouts. When i'm expecting another kick and it doesn't come i decide it must be safe to look up Peeta is staring at me with his lifeless grey eyes. "Get up Katniss he whispers" when i do he pushes me into the wall. He's holding onto my collar and his forearms are pressed against my chest. I can smell the alcohol on his breath choking me. "Now tell me Katniss what the hell are you" he growls.
"Nothing" I whisper.
"Louder" he shouts.
"Nothing" I scream. He lets go of me and i slide to the floor.,
"Thats right remember that no one can protect you. You know why nobody loves you and nobody wants you. Why do you think your family is not here. They would rather stay in the seam than be here with you."
That was a lie I wanted my family to move in with us badly but Peeta wouldn't allow that. His excuse was that we could never be alone and i was stupid enough to believe him.
" Katniss .Katniss! You know what I don't know why i waste my time with you." he finally walks out the door and i do what i do every night. I get in the shower wash the blood off me. then get not the bed and slowly cry myself to sleep. Nothing different.
I know this was really short and you probably didn't like it but please review and i might turn it into a story.
