A/N- Hi guys! So this story takes place right after Peeta and Katniss find out about the quarter quell in Catching Fire, and they are now at the Capitol preparing for the games. I love Catching Fire, it's my favorite book ever-believe me; but there were still some things that I would have changed-so here's how I did that. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing at all!

I stretched my arms out next to me, reaching for Peeta. I kept spreading them out further, but I couldn't find him.

"Peeta...Peeta...Peeta…" I whispered, patting down on the pillow where his head should be. "Peeta?" I sat up straight and looked frantically around the room. It was no use, he was gone; the Capitol had already taken him from me. I let out one more scream, "PEETA!"

It was then that I awoke to a pair of hands shaking me. "Katniss!" he was screaming, "Katniss. Are you alright?" I looked up and realized it was Peeta.

"But- I was too late. You were already gone. They took you from me Peeta." I kept my focus down at his hands that were still on my shoulders.

He lifted my chin so that I could see my gray, seam eyes reflecting on his beautiful blue ones.

"Katniss, it was only a nightmare. See I'm still right here." he now moved my hands to his chest so I could feel his heart beating. I shook my head as if in disbelief.

"Peeta; I can't lose you. In the games, you can't-"

Now it was his turn to shake his head, "Katniss. Don't talk like that. You know your family needs you. Everything's going to be okay."

"Peeta please." I looked up to him with pleading eyes and he opened his mouth to speak again. "Peeta, I need you more than I need anyone else. I…love you." I leaned in to kiss him, and it was then that I realized how badly I needed him.

"I love you too. Let's just hope that our plan works and that Haymitch will save us before we need to save each other." he pulled me into him, and I rested my head on his chest, letting him brush his fingers through my hair until I fell back asleep.

The Capitol is someone who I can never forgive. It's because of them that I have the nightmares I have every night. People think I should just blame president Snow for the torture I went through. Only people who went through the games realize that the people of the Capitol are also at fault for doing everything he said, rather than rebelling against his sick acts.

In a way I thank the capitol, though. They brought me to the one thing I really needed in my life. Peeta. It was because of those nights in our hotel room at the Capitol that I realized how much I loved him. Gale didn't matter anymore. I knew Peeta was the one for me.

I opened my eyes and was staring directly into a pair of beautiful blue eyes beaming before me and a huge smile. "Good morning." Peeta whispered, with that ridiculous grin on his face. I let out a moan and closed my eyes again.

"What time is it?" I finally muttered, opening my eyes again only to see the same grin in front of me. "10:00 a.m. I didn't want to wake you…you looked so peaceful." He moved his hands from my shoulders to my face and brushed back a piece of hair. I leaned in to kiss him and I was reminded as to how much I love him. We pulled away and gazed into each other's eyes for a few minutes. I kissed him on the forehead and rolled over.

"Come on. Effie might have saved us some breakfast." I walked out of the room as I tie the belt on my robe and I hear Peeta come up from behind me. I grab his hand from behind me and we walk out to the dining room. "Good morning, Effie. Haymitch." I nod my head at him and take a seat on the opposite side of the table. It's not that I hated Haymitch; I mean, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gotten the sponsors we needed in the games. However, we didn't always get along great. Peeta took a seat next to me, dropping his hand so he could get the syrup.

"Hm. You two are acting a little weird." Haymitch stared at us and I just gave him a shrug. "Effie, could I have a minute alone with my victors?" With that Effie let out a sigh and we heard her heals click down the hall back to her room. "All right. What is it?"

"Your plan. Are you sure it's going to get us both out of the games?" Peeta asks it so I don't have to. I continue eating my breakfast calmly, avoiding Haymitch's eyes. I hear Peeta drop his fork and I can feel his eyes on me. I find his hand under the table and let out a sigh.

"Yes, is your plan going to get both Peeta and me out of the games, together?" I look him in the eyes so he knows I'm on board with the plan. Peeta gives my hand a squeeze.

"Well, of course it's going to work. Just remember you two need to find each other right away. Don't pay attention to anyone else in there. If you want to get out alive you need to get to each other and find a safe place to hide. Finnick and the others will find you once you're hidden." I nod my head at him and give Peeta's hand another squeeze.

"Okay then." I continue eating my food with the hand I have available, and Peeta just nods his head in silence. Haymitch took one last gulp of his wine and walked out of the room. Once we finish eating I give him a look. We both know what happens today.

"Ready to get remade?"

"The only good part about it is that I get to see Cinna again." I roll my eyes and Peeta pulls me into his lap.

"Well lucky for you, we don't need to meet with our prep teams until after lunch. So, what would you like to do?" Peeta raises his eyebrows up and down suggestively and I let out a laugh. I lean in to kiss him, but it only lasts a few seconds.

"Can we actually just do nothing? I'm so exhausted and I just want to enjoy this afternoon. It's the last time we'll be together like this." Peeta and I both knew that by 'this,' I meant it would be the last time we would look like we were actually from district 12. He nodded his head and led me back to his room where we spent the rest of our afternoon, doing absolutely nothing. But the thing was, with me and Peeta, sometimes nothing was what we needed. Just being in each other's company meant something to us.

A/N I hope you guys enjoyed that little chapter! I promise you that the story will pick up and get better! Hope to update very soon! Don't be scared to leave me a review
