I do not own The Hunger Games! In this story, Katniss was killed in the 74th Hunger Games and Peeta was the victor. I'm sorry if some of the things about the Everdeen house or District 12 aren't accurate.

Chapter 1

Peeta POV

Katniss is dead. She has been dead for a month now, and I've been a total wreck. I can't take it anymore. I grab a bottle of sleeping pills and run to the woods. Katniss used to love the woods. I climb through the fence and walk to the log where she used to hide her bow and arrows. I sit down next to the log and lean on it, opening the bottle of pills. Dumping out way more pills than a person should ever take, I think I love you Katniss. I can't live without you anymore. I swallow the pills and close my eyes, waiting for death to come.

Ashlynn POV

I grab my hunting knife and walk towards the woods. I have to hunt to feed my family. We live in the Seam, the poorest part of our district where all the coal miners live. I climb through the electric fence that marks the border of our district, and walk towards the woods. After a few feet, though, I notice someone lying on the ground. Walking towards them, I slowly realize that it's Peeta Mellark. He was the victor of the seventy-fourth Hunger Games. I crouch down beside him and see the empty pill bottle lying beside him. I check his pulse. He's still alive, but he won't be for long if I don't do something fast. "Oh, Peeta…" I whisper, gently lifting him up. I stand up, staggering slightly under his weight, and start walking back towards the Seam. I take him to 's house. She is the best at healing people. I knock on the door.

"Come in!" she calls. Pushing the door open, I carry Peeta in.

"Look who I found" I say sadly.

" Oh no..." she whispers. "Do you know how he….?"

"Sleeping pills" I reply.

She nods and grabs a bottle from one of the shelves behind her while I lay Peeta on the couch. Opening it, she takes out a small pill. "If we can get him to swallow this, it will make him throw up the pills. He should be okay if we can get those out of his system quickly enough." I nod and take the pill from her, putting it in his mouth. Eventually, we get him to swallow it. After about a minute, he wakes up. He pukes up the pills, and then lays back down on the couch. I slowly walk over to him. "Hi, Peeta." I say. He looks at me and sits up. I sit beside him.

"Are you the one that saved me?" he asks.

"Yes…" I answer slowly. "Well, with 's help."

"Why? Why would you do that?" he demands.

"I couldn't let you die…."

"Well that's what I wanted". He glares at me.

"I'm sorry. But why would you want that?"

"Katniss. She's dead. Why would I want to live in a world where she's dead?"

"Because maybe you can find someone else. I think she would want you to."

He just sits there for a while. Then tears start streaming down his face.

"Peeta it's okay" I say softly. He lays his head on my shoulder and cries. "Do you want to talk about her? Maybe it will help you. Maybe…. Maybe you would be happier if you talked to someone." He looks at me for a minute, and then begins to talks. He talks for hours. Occasionally he cries, and I just sit and listen. He finishes talking and stares out the window. "Are you okay?" I ask him. He turns and, for the first time I've seen since before the Games, smiles.

"Honestly, I feel better than I have since…." He stops. I know what he means. I nod and smile back. "Thank you."

"I'm glad I could help. I'm here any time you need to talk. Can I trust you enough to let you go home?" I ask him. He smirks.

"Yes. I'll be fine." He stands up and walks to the door. I hug him.

"Try to be happy" I say, and then I walk back home.

So…. What did you guys think? Sorry about the ending, I'm tired though. Should I update? Review!
