Losing The Girl on Fire:
Peeta's POV:
I couldn't believe it. Katniss Everdeen, my first true love, the girl on fire is marrying Gale Hawthorne. I should've known..
"Peeta!" Katniss shouted, watching me leave my house. I stifle a soft groan and look back.
"Yes?" I manage, trying to keep the heartbreak out of my voice. She starts talking about the wedding and such. I try to tune her out...
-A few months later-
Katniss' POV:
I'm ready. I'm going to marry my best friend, my love, Gale Hawthorne. I manage to get myself into the dress and start walking towards the Meadow. It's a simple, elegant, white dress. My days of being on fire are over. I hear a cough behind me and whip around.
"Peeta?" I whisper softly. He nods and takes my hand, his eyes saying everything. That he loves me. That he can't bear to see me with him. That he wishes it was him. He reaches up and strokes my cheek.. then he's gone. Him being best man, he should be by the alter by now.
"Let's get this over with, sweetheart." Haymitch says, taking my arm. Gale and I both agreed it was a good decision, having him give me away. Then we start walking...
Gale's POV:
She's stunning. Amazing. So simple, yet so beautiful. My Catnip. I smile as I see her walk down the aisle, she gazing shyly at me. I gaze back, amazed I'm marrying my childhood friend.
Peeta's POV:
The preacher says all the wedding stuff. Finally, the words I've been waiting for.
"Speak now, or forever hold your peace." he says. All eyes in the room turn to me. I gaze at the nearly married couple and stay quiet. Then, the wedding ends. They kiss. I have lost her. Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire, the Mockingjay. My first and only love.
