He struts down the halls with a half grin and magnificent blue eyes full of lust. There is nothing more than I want then to wrap his arms around me, protecting me from all the evil in my surroundings, but it's too dangerous, I'm too dangerous. Fear creeps through my body as he moves in closer and without thinking bolt. The taps of his feet on the hard floor echo through the halls as he chases me, but I can't turn around, I let the fear of getting too close to anybody rule out the option of Peeta and I ever getting together.
Betrayal. I helped rid the world of a monster, did everyone on this earth a favor, yet I still pay the price for saving my own life, and possibly many others. I'm just as bad as the tyrant who raised me. I'm not ready to let go of all the pain, to start my life over.
My deep thought process causes me to slow down, giving Peeta a chance to catch up, and before I know it he's on top of me, holding me down expecting an explanation for my actions. I attempt to escape his grasp, but it's no use, he can keep me here forever, and he knows it. With a cocky grin the blue eyed monster attempts to persuade me into spilling my reasoning for running.
"So are you going to tell me while you are avoiding me, or are we going to be in this position for a while, though just to let you know, I'm fine with either option." He chuckles at his joke, and I make a clear effort to attempt to kick him in the balls, and though it doesn't work, I know he knows what I wish had happened. "So the second option..." His voice trails off. He's disappointing in me, his glistening baby blues, sparkle with sadness. After a few minutes, I just let my emotions leave my body, and my raging hormones take over, and our lips collide.
Fireworks. The only way to describe the overwhelming sensation pulsing through my veins, enveloping me in joy. His soft lips match perfectly against mine, like we were made for each other.
Hunger, lust, passion, all pile up as the kiss deepens. After all these years, I realize my feelings for Peeta have been here from the start, it took me too long to figure it out.
But we can't be together, maybe we had a shot before, but too much has happened to me recently, my baggage would suffocate him, I can't let him get hurt.
I yank away suddenly, and mumble an "I've gotta go" before sprinting away slamming the front door to my house, behind me.
Prim greets me with a smile smile, before directing her glance to our mother storming into the room.
"Oh well look who it is, you were supposed to be home an hour ago you fucking piece of shit, where the hell were you." I attempt to bite my lip and shut myself up, but I fail miserably.
"I don't have to answer to you, you don't bother to take care of your own children, so why should I have any respect for you," I scream infuriated. Rage fills her expression, and her fist pounds across my face, probably realigning my jaw.
"Get out of my house," she yells. Prim screams, begging for me to stay, but I ignore her, she won't get hurt, she's safer here than anywhere else. Stuffing clothes into a duffle bag and exiting the house with a slam strong enough to shake the entire house.
I run to the border, meet by the buzz of the electric fence, turned on for the first time in months. Leaning against an old tree trunk, and let all the tears I've held in, begin to pour out of me eyes.
A/N Hey, well this is my second story on this account and I'll be working on both. I hope you liked the start, the next chapter will be a series of flashbacks revealing one of Katniss's big secrets. Thanks for reading, and please review.
