Katniss POV

"Why do you do this? I wish I'd never met you, you're so selfish!"

The words still stung me. I knew I deserved them but it didn't make them any less painful. My tears mixed with the heavy rain falling all around me, engulfing me in the wet, water. I ran as fast as I could. I knew where I was going, I could walk there with my eyes closed. I couldn't see a metre in front of me, but I carried on running. Despite the rain drowning out most of the sound, I could hear his heavy footsteps running after me.

"Katniss! Katniss!"

I carried on sprinting. I could just see the fence in front of me. I crawled through, just like always did. I had given myself a few extra seconds to run ahead because I knew he struggled getting through the fence. I was so cold, but I didn't care. Well, I did, but I wasn't going to stop. I ran over to the tall, trees and pushed through the shrubs around me. I could feel the mossy ground slipping away under my feet. All of a sudden I felt my foot slip on a root. I fell down to the ground and felt myself jolt the moment I came into contact with the ground. It hurt, but not as much as the gnawing pain, dangerously close to my heart. It was then that I knew I had given him the time to catch up with me, and no matter how fast I ran, it was pointless. I had been caught. I felt two sturdy arms lift me up off the ground and set me back on my feet. I was prepared to run once more, but he had a tight hold on my wrist.

"You can't keep running from me Katniss, one day you're going to have to face me"

"Get off me Peeta" I shout, spitting at him.

"No, I can't let you go Katniss, I'm not going to do that"

"Please, let me go" I whisper back, tears streaming down my face.

Even though it was dark, I could see the hurt behind his crystal blue eyes. Reluctantly he let my wrist go and looked down at the floor. I looked up at him, and his eyes met mine for a split second. That was all I needed to know that I had to stay.

"I'll stay…"

"Why did you go though, in the first place?"

"Because… Because… Because I can't do it"

"Do what?"

"Fall in love with you, I can't go through the pain anymore, every time I finally give in and love someone, they are taken away from me"

"I'm not going anywhere Katniss"

"Also, you deserve someone better, I don't deserve you, you said it yourself"

"Katniss, I was angry, you know I didn't mean it! I love you so much, sometimes it physically hurts me, I could never regret meeting you, ever"

I just stare at him. His soft, blond curls, that are now stuck to his hair because of the rain. His strong, warm body, that always comforts me. And my favourite, his eyes. The bright blue, the honesty behind them, the look that makes my heart stop.

"I have to keep running because I can't admit it to myself that…"

"That what?"

"That I love you Peeta"

He just stares back at me. A smile slowly forming on his lips.

"Say it again so I know I heard it right"

"I love you"

He grabs my waist and pulls me into a kiss. But unlike the others, this one was full of passion and the need for more. I pull away because of the lack of oxygen and grin at my boy with the bread. I had got him, even it did happen out in the rain…
