The memories still haunt me of the day he left, he was only one who I ever let into my heart, the only boy I ever loved, Peeta Mellark.
It had been early summer when he told me, I couldn't believe that the boy who saved my life, the boy who I admired for years was moving to District 11 and I didn't have the guts to tell him that I loved him.
He had been my classmate for years but one day in the fifth grade something changed inside of me after he saved my life it felt like thanking him was not enough, I fell in love with Peeta Mellark and I fell fast.
At first I didn't want to give my heart away like my mother did and become weak and frail like she did after my father died but I couldn't contain my love any longer.
At the end of the sixth grade when I was 12 Peeta told me that his dad was being transferred to district 11 so the whole family was moving too, he told me that I had been one of his best friends at school I told him I would miss him,I thanked him for the bread and told him to take care, then he hopped on the train and I never saw him again.
The next five and a half years had been torture, every day I woke up without a smile on my face knowing he wouldn't be at school,I knew I shouldn't of let myself love him I knew this would happen some days I would escape to the forest where my father used to hunt I tried to think of my good memories with Peeta but the one thing that kept popping back into my head was that I never got to tell him that I loved him we could've gone on date after date he would've stayed in district 12 with me.
But that didn't happen because I didn't have the guts to tell him any of that.
I was sixteen when the reaping for 74th annual Hunger games took place it was Prims first year so she was really nervous I went to stand with my age group hoping and praying that Prim wouldn't get picked.
When Effie trinket stepped on the stage she gave us the same old speech,
"Welcome, welcome to the reaping for the74th annual hunger games good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour."
"And as always ladies first". I held my breath
"Primrose Everdeen" I heard Prim's scream and my mind went blank,
"I volunteer I volunteer as tribute".
My mind was racing did I just volunteer?
Oh god I'm going to die then I stopped for a minute and thought, well what do have here Katniss? that's right nothing, I'd rather die than not be with Peeta maybe my wish finally came true?
