Hey guys, this is my first Hunger Games story so I hope you like it!
Note: Everything that happened at the end of Mockingjay, happened a little earlier. So not long after Katniss receives the letter from her mother and returns to District 12, her and Peeta get back together.

"Katniss?" I hear Peeta's voice from the living room. "Did you know you had a letter from your mother?" he asked. I met him in the room where her was going through the large amount of mail I had never read.
I shook my head, "No… I don't know who sent half of that mail."
"Here," he held the letter out to me, the look on his face telling me to open it. The sympathetic smile and the glow in his blue eyes.
I took the letter from his hands and opened it, revealing my mothers neat writing.
Dear Katniss,
I hope all is well at District twelve. The hospital here is going wonderfully. It's nice to be able to do what I'm best at again. I'm sorry I haven't called in a while. I thought this was something I could explain better in a letter.
I know you remember Annie Cresta. She returned to District four around the same time as me. I know it hasn't been long since she found out about what happened to Finnick but so many of us are worried about her. She doesn't leave her house at all and when I, or any of the other healers try to go and talk to her, she just tells us she's fine… still grieving.
I understand that. We all are, you and I too. I know she hasn't been emotionally stable for a while and it was always Finnick that could make her feel better, but we're all worried about her. Something's not right.
I was hopping you would be able to make a trip to District four to visit her. I'm sure she would like to see a familiar face and hopefully let us help her. I know it's a lot to ask and I understand you probably don't want to see me right now but please do it for her.
With Love,
Mum xx
I read the letter over a couple of times before Peeta brought me back to reality. "Everything okay?" he asked.
"It's Annie," I replied. Peeta immediately looked confused and worried, so I handed him the letter so he could see what I meant.
"Are you going to go?" he asked after reading the letter.
I nodded. "For Annie… my mothers right. Maybe it will help, having a familiar face around. I'm worried about her. She only got worse after finding out about Finnick," I chocked out the last sentence, still missing one of my closest friends. "Will you come with me?"
Peeta nodded and smiled. "Of course…"
And for some reason, knowing needed it, without even a proper reason myself. He wrapped his arms around me, kissing my forehead. We stayed like that for a while and I thought about how I wasn't the only one hurting…
I hope you liked it! This is just the introduction so the next few chapters should be longer. Please review and tell me if you'd like me to continue :)
