A/N: So first chapter of the sequel to "What's Hardest"! I suppose this could be read alone, but it would make much more since if you've read "What's Hardest" before. Oh, well! Also Katniss's POV.
Chapter 1
The train pulls into the station. Prim is still crying. Peeta is the only person that can keep me together at the moment. I see everyone cheer, except for Madge and Gale's family. Hazelle offers a small smile to me, though I know that it's not real. I want to be happy that Prim won, but the loss of Gale is too strong. I can't focus on what is really important: that Prim is safe, that she is out, and that she is alive. Thank God for Peeta; I don't know what I would if I didn't have his comforting words of how things will be alright and how I will get through this.
Prim stares into the crowd, not coldly or calculating, but sad. She's only 13; already, she's experienced too much pain for someone of her age.
She moves into my old Victor Village house and I move in with Peeta. My mother lives with Prim, though Prim often stays with Peeta and me. We help each other get through our nightmares. If one of us wakes, the others do, too. We all get through our pain together. Even Haymitch sometimes joins us, though he doesn't sleep in the same bed as Prim, Peeta, and me.
That night, it's Prim who has the nightmare. She wakes up screaming. Peeta and I wake and comfort her.
"Gale…he told me that I could have kept him from his suicide. He told me that I could have died and spared him…" Prim cries into my shirt.
"It's okay, Prim…Kat and I are here. Nothing can get you. Not now," Peeta comforts.
"It's not your fault. It was never your fault. It was Gale's choice. Don't cry about it," I say.
"Maybe you two are right," Prim says.
"Of course we are. Now, get some sleep, Little Duck," I say, leaning back into Peeta's strong arms.
"Okay….but I do have a question," Prim says.
"What?" Peeta asks.
"When did you two fall in love?" she asks. I have no words.
