Burning Ashes Chapter 1
I wake up. In no rush to start the 's been a month since Prim died, since I was Mocking Jay, since I killed Coin. My heart is still broken, it aces from death of so many friends. I feel tears run down my face, surprised I have any left. Peeta came back about a week or so ago, but I after he planted the Prim roses, I lost it again. Going back into a slump of depression and sadness. Greasy-Sae still comes. Cooks for me, and makes me eat. I don't know what to do with my life anymore. I just sit here in the days. Numb. Nothing to live for anymore. Then one day, I sit up on impluse. Prim wouldn't want me like this. If I died and she was here, she would be happy, or would try to be happy for me. She wouldn't want me depressed. I get up, my legs numb. I make my way upstairs. Slowly but, surley. I do my hair again, before I notice its so madded again, I will have to jump in the shower. I scrub the dirt off my face, and the rest of my body. After I get done, I just sit in the shower, and let the water mist me. I feel better. I get on some clean clothes, and re-do my braid. I look at my face, its fresh from the shower. I try not to notice the water in my eyes. I go downstairs, smelling food. It smeels amazing, I havn't really had any feeling in anything since I have been sitting here. "Your up today?" Greasy-Sae says with a smile. I nod. She does'nt have her granddaughter today. I sit down on the stool as she hands me a plate full of bacon, eggs and potatos. I eat the food. "You know, you should really go say hi to the boy, atfer everything he has been through," she says. She's right. I need to say something to Peeta. But what is there to say? I finish my food and I get my hunting boots and jacket. Still by the fire place, where I threw them off after Peeta and the Primroses. I head for the woods. The only place I can think of. The town looks different. More life than it had, more anything. Some of the people on the streets give me looks. I don't know if they are looks of sorrow or what, but I know they look. I finally make it to the gate. The medow is dug up. I forgot, thats where they burried so many people. I think of Madge and her family, under my feet. I start to walk back feeling over whelmed. I don't know where I am going, but somehow, I end up in front of the bakery. It looks bright and warm. Peeta. I don't know what to say to him yet. What if walk in and he is there? What if he goes mad? What if he is just mad at me? I don't know what to think anymore. But, apperantly, I think on my feet as I head into the bakery.
The smell of treats hit me as soon as I walk in. I close my eyes for a moment. It smells of cheese buns, and suddenly, I am craving one more than ever. I slowly walk in, I don;t see anyone yet, until I notice. The blond hair from behind the counter. He smiles at a custumer hands he hands her a cookie. Peeta. I try not to cry. It's the Peeta I knew before the hijacking. The Peeta that loved me. The Peeta I want to hug. I go up to the counter. He is looking down at his order book. "Hi welcome to Peeta's Bakery, how may I help you?" He finally looks up. Our eyes meet for a moment. They are clear, blue and beautiful. "Katniss," he says. "Yeah," I respond. Its the first time I spoken in two weeks. "Glad to see you," he says with a smile. I smile back. "Well, I just came by to see what you did with the place," I say. I lie, I really don't know why I came in here. "Wait, don't you want anything?" He askes. "I have no money," I say. "I mean, I left it all at home," I finish. "I think we can make an acception," he says, He grabs my hand, I flinch at first then I follow him into the back. He gives me a cheese bun. He remembers. This almost brings me to tears. "You alright?" he ask. "I'm fine," I say. "I got to go," I run out the door before he can ask why.
