A Long Way for love

A/N: Hey fanfictioners This is my first fanfic and I got the idea from the book/movie A Walk to Remember. But this is the hunger games! Now this is based on the book and movie. I do have some added ideas. This is completely my own and have no intention of copying. And I am making up Indiana info for whoever lives there.

Disclaimer: I do not own the hunger games or a walk to remember.

Peeta's P.O.V.:

I can still smell her on the sheets of my bed. It's been 37 years and her scent never leaves me. I can still smell the strawberry shampoo she used. I still see those piercing grey eyes every time I close my eyes. It's been 37 years and I will never forget her even after 75 years. She will be in my heart forever.

My name is Peeta Mellark. I am 55 years old; I live in Prairie, Indiana. I fell in love when I was just 18. It was at a time when girls wore dresses and men wore top hats and coats. At the time, everything was calm and quiet. I mean, there were still the shooting or murder here and there, but besides that, life was great.

Religion was big at the time. On almost every corner was a church. Christians made up most of the population and all the churches were filled every Sunday. The town of Prairie was always on the small side. No one really passed through here because we are well concealed in the trees.

But we were a tight nit family. We helped each other out when needed and everyone was polite. Except, for the usual bimbo who was rude to everyone. You could tell right away who stuck out and who didn't.

I was a slacker, I can tell you that. Me and my friends would pull pranks on our neighbors, or egg a house sometimes. We thought we were cool and that we can get away with it. But, not always.

There was this minister, and he would put a play up every year for the holidays. Sometimes, it was the Christmas Carol or The Nativity. There would only be a small crowd or so to show up. A few years after doing those, he wrote his own play. It was called Truth be Told. It was about this girl, who is running from a dark secret. She left her hometown out of shame and moved to Ohio. When she got settled down, she found a guy who made fake ids. She needed one to make her old enough to live on her own. A few months later, she meets a guy. They get to know each other and eventually fall in love. The girl gets too scared that she'll get caught in her secret. So she flees. Right before she was about to cross the border line to Mexico, he found her. He promised he would love her just the same no matter what. After hesitation, she told him that she got pregnant at the age of seventeen and had an abortion. She cried for hours in his arms and told him her whole story. He said that he still loved her. They settled down a few months later together, happily married. This story was to teach you that God can give you a second chance at happiness and love conquers all with the spirit of God in them. I said that I would never learn to love like that. That true love is just a fairytale or a figment of our imagination that we come up with because we will do anything to get out of the world of loneliness.

But boy was I wrong.

Now, with my story, you will cry, you will laugh, and you will fall in love with my lady just like I did.

So this is my story…

A/N: How did you think? I know it's boring but it's only the first chapter. So please read and review!
