Chapter 1- I Will Forever Hate Tracker Jackers

"You Love me, Real or not real?" Peeta asked. "Real." I replied.

Hello, My name is Katniss Everdeen. I've been in two Hunger Games and survived a rebellion. My little sister, Primrose died months ago. I am trying to get over it, Peeta is staying at my house in Victors Village until he's sure I'm okay. My mother is staying also for a while, mourning with me. Peeta still has problems with the tracker jacker venom, he still has nightmares and "episodes". But, he loves me. And honestly, I love him was something with Gale, but he left for a job. I can't say that I wasn't upset. For a day I was, than there was Peeta. He was so much calmer than Gale and he listens to me. I know how girly that sounded but its true.

Anyway, my mother and I were watching Peeta paint Prim and I when I was 13 and she was 9. She looked so innocent then, so heartbreaking to think that she's dead. I remember that day when she exploded in front of me. I hadn't realized I was crying until Peeta hugged me and my mother rubbed my back. I let out a small cry than I let go of Peeta.

"Are you okay Katniss?" Peeta asked, he looked worried.

"Yes, I'm fine now. That painting looked so real." I replied, I looked at my mother who was staring at the unfinished painting.

"Mom? Are you alright?" I asked her.

"Of course, sweetie. Just remembering when you and Prim were young.

I took Peeta's hand and sat down on the couch, then my mother stood up and walked to Haymitch's garden. My mother started it so Haymitch has something beautiful to look at. Thats when everything went wrong. Peeta yanked my arm and pushed me into the wall with such force my mother and Haymitch came running in.

"You murderer! I'll kill you, Everdeen!" Peeta yelled in my face.

I was terrified. I've learned just to stay quiet or run, but now I frozen with fear. He lifted his palm and slapped me so hard I fell to the ground. I screamed and ran into the bathroom. While I was running, Peeta came to his senses and starting apologizing. I know its not his fault but its hurtful to think he would do that. I locked the door clutching my cheek and silently crying.

"Katniss! Katniss, I'm sorry I didn't mean to!" Peeta said, obviously next to the door.

"Peeta, give her a minute or two. She's just in shock." My mother told Peeta.

I heard them walk away, and when they did I opened the door a crack and peered through the open space.

"I didn't mean to! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Peeta cried into his hands.

My mother rubbed his back to somewhat comfort him. Then she looked at the bathroom door and saw me. She smiled and walked over, but I opened the door before her.

"Peeta? Its okay, I'm fine." I said to Peeta, who slowly looked up at me.

"Katniss! I'm so sorry! I-" He tried apologizing but I cut him off with a kiss. When he hugged me, I flinched a little but I guess thats normal. He dug his face in my hair which made me smile.

"I can never forgive my self Katniss. I'm sorry!" Peeta told me.

"Its okay Peeta. I'm fine." I said to him. He let go than we looked at my mother who was smiling and Haymitch who gave a grunt and drank his bottle of liquor.

"I'm going upstairs to clean up." My mother informed me.

"I'm going home." Haymitch mumbled then walked out the door.

I smiled at Peeta who smiled back.

"You love me still, Real or Not Real?"

"Real."
