I see Peeta, I just need to talk to him, I just need for him to hold me tight until I fall asleep in his arms. I run as fast as I can to the other side of the meadow. I wrap my arms around his neck. Before I know it, he roughly pushes me away. "What do you want? Now you need me? Now you love me? Or is this just another scheme you and Haymitch planned? Huh? Get away you filthy Seam brat!" Before I know it, I feel tears running down my cheeks. He walks away. Not even bothering to look back. I see Peacekeepers walking up to him, getting their guns out. They point it to his temples. "PEETA!" I yell, but it's too late, he falls to the ground, his forehead is somewhat overflowing with blood. I run up to him, but the Peacekeepers push me away. I have tears in my eyes. "What did he do? What did I do?" I think to myself. I scream his name over and over again, seeing him being lifted from the scene.
"KATNISS! WAKE UP! KATNISS!"
I see Prim, shaking me. "Gosh Katniss! It's 2:23 in the morning! What happened? I woke up, hearing you scream Peeta's name over and over again." I need to see him; I haven't seen him for weeks. I am still really confused about how I feel about him; I miss how we were in the cave, always looking out for each other. He would hold me tight in his arms, and I wouldn't have any nightmares, he made me feel safe. I really hope he isn't still mad at me from what had happened on the last train. But he probably still is. I tell Prim what had happened in my nightmare. She cuddles up beside me and drifts off to sleep.
An hour passed, and I just can't take it anymore, I need to get out of the house. I need to see at least the bakery. I slip on my light green shirt and black pants. I carefully make it out of the house. I run as swiftly and quietly as I can to the bakery. I sit on the curb, my hands buried in my hands, sobbing. I can't help but feel weak.
I feel someone sitting next to me, probably Prim, coming to chew me out. "Katniss," The voice is soothing and deep, it's Peeta. Why is he here? What is he doing up so early? I don't bother looking up, with my eyes all red and puffy. "Katniss, what are you doing out here so early?" His voice is just so soothing. "I needed to talk to you" I say, but my face is buried in my arms now. He chuckles, but stops instantly because he knows this is not the time. "Well, I'm here." I don't know where to start. I want to be friends again, but I don't know how to phrase it. I must have been quiet when he says, "Katniss look, I've been wanting to talk you about the way I acted on the last train that brought us home. I don't want us going on like this, ignoring each other and doing all romantic stuff when we are in front of the cameras. I just knew you had something with Gale, and you were only operating under Haymitch's directions. I'm sorry."
His apology takes me in shock. I finally look up and wipe my eyes with the sleeve of my shirt. I take a deep breath and say, "I came here because I couldn't sleep. I can't take on my nightmares. Not without you. Even Prim can't ease me off to sleep! I can't go one moment without thinking that someone will come and kill me in my sleep! I can't! I just can't." My voice has risen to a shout and my eyes are getting watery again. He pulls me in close and kisses my temple. "Stay with me" I whisper. "Always."
