You love her, Peeta Mellark! (One-Shot, Peeta's POV)
After the incident with Katniss, my visits are very restricted. The only person can came in and out without much permission is Delly. Delly Cartwright. After the bombing, her family dies so she stays in 13 with all the others. Back in the days when we were kids, Delly was my best friend. She knows all my secrets, well, that's what she said and I believe her, because she is confident and friendly. She visits me this morning and now is coming back with a big smile in her face.
"What make you so happy?" I ask, because I'm curious.
"It just Katniss with…" She answer, but stop when mention that girl's name. Katniss Everdeen, the one who I almost killed. I started at Delly with my curious eyes, wondering why she stops. Then she continues, "Uhm… nothing. What about you? You look more awake!"
"Yes. The doctors took some medicines after no warning activity. But tell me, what about Katniss?" I say. I don't know why, but today I'm really curious about her.
"Katniss…? I think you don't want to talk about her, sorry if I mention her."
"No worry about it. I'm just curious today! Can I ask you a question?" I say and she pauses, but then nods. "When we were kids, what did I told you about her?"
"Well, that's a long story…" she pauses, but I make a face like I don't care so she continues. "I meet her the same day as you. I talked with her before than really know you, I just ask her name and she was a little afraid of me, but then she smile and answer me. After a couple of minutes I saw you and gave me an impression of looking for a friend, so I walked to you and greet. In that very first day, you ask me what was her name and I replied Katniss Everdeen and then you said I love her. That was the first time you said that. Year by year, you always talked about her and I was the one who change the theme, because it's kind of boring hearing the same things, don't you? The day that Katniss volunteered and you were reaped, I visit you and you said that you must protect her no matter what. I got very angry, because you were not thinking about you and you only have thoughts for her. After I left that room, I regret don't wish you luck. Then the games came, both of you win and your lives change. And now here we are: I, trying to convince you that Katniss is a good person and you, screaming that she's a mutt."
A long silence came in. No one says anything. I stare at the window, looking the blue sky, trying to remember a feeling, a thought, something, but nothing came in. After a couple of minutes, I break the silence.
"Now, what it's the feeling that I suppose to feel?" I ask very curious about her answer, because she always give me the correct answer, not always the one I want, but the correct.
"Suppose…?" She asks with a strange face and I think it's angry. "That word doesn't go there, Peeta. It's not what you suppose to feel. It's what you feel for her. You lover her! Think about it! If you do not love her, then why you warned her of the bombing and why are you asking about her? You love her, Peeta Mellark!"
"I do love her, but my mind tells me to kill her. I don't know what to do, Delly!" I said almost screaming at her, but she is not scared of me, I'm sure of it. After this I notice that my tears are slipping down my cheeks and the only think I can do is sit on the floor with my face on my knees. Delly sit by my side and hug me.
Then she whispers; "Just… Trust your heart, Peeta!"
My very second one-shot in my life! I'm so excited! Did you like it?
