What will Peeta do when he hears that Katniss is getting married to Gale? This story was inspired by the book series The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and the song "Speak Now" by Taylor Swift. I do not own anything in the story

Speak Now Part 1

Peeta's POV

I held my face in my hands as a sober Haymitch, which is surprising because this has to be one of the first times I've actually seen him sober, and it has to be now, when he's delivering the worse news I will ever hear in my life. Gale has proposed to Katniss, the love of my life, and she has said yes! I survived the horrors of not 1 but 2 Hunger Games only to have my life destroyed by this. I can't live without The Girl On Fire. "Why are you even telling me this?" I snapped at Haymitch "it's not like I can do anything about it! Do you just enjoy my pain?" I finished as I realize my voice had risen to a shout. "Well maybe you could start by telling her not to marry him!" Haymitch snapped at me. "She may love Gale, but it's pretty obvious that she loves you more." Haymitch stormed out before I could say anything else. Well, a pity parties are much more fun to have without an audience. I had just sunk to my knees telling myself how unfair this situation was, when I heard familiar sound coming from outside. I looked outside the window from my fancy house in Victor's Village to see young children playing. As they played they were singing "Deep in the meadow, under the willow a bed of grass, a soft green pillow lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes and when they open, the sun will rise". I sank to the floor as I had a flashback to that first day of school long ago. Katniss and I were both 5. In the schoolyard my dad pointed her out and told me "See that girl? I wanted to marry her mother, but she ran off with a coal miner." I asked him " Why did she want a coal miner if she could've had you?" and I'll always remember his reply "because when he sings, even the birds stop to listen." I surveyed this girl, who was wearing a plaid dress, and had her hair in 2 braids. that day the teacher in music assembly asked if anyone knew the Valley Song, and her arm shot up. Our teacher stood her up, and she began to sing "Deep in the meadow..." That was when I understood what my father had said about Katniss's father, just like her mother, I was a goner. I was in love with Katniss Everdeen. I shook my head as I suddenly broke out of my flashback. I knew what I had to, and I started running towards the Justice Building.
