This is a very short one-shot about Katniss reflecting on Prim's death and Peeta comforting Katniss.

I MISS HER.

"Prim!"I bolt up in bed, a cold sweat coating my forehead as my breath struggles to regulate. Peeta's arms where around me, trying to calm me as the last of the nightmare slowly dissolved. But the feeling in my gut didn't dissolve with it. My dream and reality held the same aching, bitter taste. Even away I don't have my sister to run to and make sure she was safe.

Because she wasn't safe.

She was dead.

Peeta says nothing as he strokes my hair and moves sticky strands off of my face. He knows better than to try and offer words of comfort when the dream is about Prim. The first time he said "It's okay" I snapped on him. It wasn't okay because I don't have my little sister. I had went into the Games to protect her from a world that would knock her down without mercy only to delay the inevitable.

The pain, even six months after, is still fresh. The little things will remind me of her and bring me to my knees. She was my everything and I couldn't even protect her.

Peeta always tries to remind me it wasn't my fault. But I don't believe him because I know it's a lie.

I started the rebellion and that is what ended up killing my sister. No matter how much I want to scream at the gods for taking her from me, I know there had to be something I could have done to protect her. There has to be a way she could be here, living with me safe and sound.

"I'm fine." I breathe after a few minutes. My broke eyes meet Peeta's large blue ones that hold a concern I don't deserve. "I just miss her." I whisper, unable to make my voice louder.

"I know." Peeta whispers back, drawing us back to lay down. I move to rest my head on his chest. "I miss her too."

Peeta sees the guilt and pain in my eyes and blames himself as well. He once told me, if he hadn't been so taken by me, if he had been able to think straight, he would have pushed me away and told me to win the Games by myself. Selfish he calls it.

My eyes close, a take a deep intake of air and pray for a dreamless sleep.
