A/N: So this is a songfic of "You Don't Know Her Like I Do" By: Brantley Gilbert. So there is a little prologue on this chapter and the actual songfic will be on the next one. It's from Peeta's POV, which I've never done before, so bear with me Anyway, I hope you like it, please read and review whether the reviews are positive or negative, that would be awesome thanks a bunch!

"Knock, Knock." "Oh, Hey Katniss, Come on in."

Why is Katniss here? I haven't seen her since we planted her primroses when I got back to 12. That's been like 2 months.

"Peeta, we need to talk." "Okay then, sit down."

Katniss takes a seat on the couch while I sit in the plush arm chair across from her. I lean over, resting my elbows on my knees, "So what's up?"

"Gale's back, Peeta. He's back and he asked me to forgive him, see if we can start over."

Oh, great! That's just what I need, Gale coming back and making everything all complicated for me and Katniss again. But I thought Katniss blamed him for Prim's death, so maybe this won't really be that big of a deal at all.

"So what did you say?" I asked Katniss, afraid of the answer, afraid that just maybe she won't hate Gale anymore.

"Well, that was about a month ago and I did give him another chance. Peeta, Coin killed Prim, not Gale, he didn't even know they were going to use the bombs. So we've been talking and we're really close now, and that's why I'm here, Peeta. Gale and I are going to get married, and he's gotten President Paylor to agree to let me leave District 12 after the wedding. So I guess why I'm really here, Peeta, is to say goodbye."

"Oh, Wow… um, I don't know what to say Katniss, I really don't."

"Peeta, we've been through so much together, we've been through things that no one should have had to go through. You've always tried to be there for me and I want to say thank you. Thank you, and I'm sorry. You always talked about how you loved me, and I'm sorry I couldn't love you back. To be honest, I think I did at one point, during the Quell, when you died, it was horrible. But we're totally different people now. I've changed so much since Prim died, and I'm still not right. You don't deserve me, you have your hijacking problems and I have my depression, so really you need someone who can be good to you and help you, and I'm just not that person. I'm sorry, Peeta, I really truly am…"

"Katniss, I- I- I can't marry anyone else, you know that. No matter how messed up I am, or you say you are, we belong together, anyone can see that. You're the only one who can help me through my hijackings; you're the only one I love. Katniss, I need you."

"Peeta, no, I'm sorry our history is too brutal, we both need a fresh start. Goodbye, Peeta."

And with that final statement she was gone, as quick and silent as always she stood up and ran from the house.

Wow… so that's it, I lost. I survived two Hunger Games for her, I fought a rebellion for her, lost my memory, gave her space to recover like she asked, and I lost. I lost Katniss, my Katniss, the only ray of sunshine in my whole world. And I lost her… to Gale, the one person she swore she couldn't stand anymore. He won, he won Katniss. Congratulations, Gale, you saved Katniss and killed me.
