Chapter 2

The icy cold breeze hits my face as i step out of Peeta's car and begin making my way to his front porch. I stuff my hands in my pocket and grab the key he gave me that goes to the house a couple weeks ago and I jam it into the front door. Needless to say i just got back from a nightmare of a job interview and i'm not happy about it. I turn the key in the big white door and successfully unlocking it for the first time in forever. Even though this house is the most expensive in the whole fucking neighborhood the stupid lock on the front door is a piece of shit. I open the door and step inside enjoying the immediate warmth it brings to me.

It's like freaking 20 degrees outside and snowing right now and I had to walk to blocks in it because I was late to the stupid ass interview and lost my parking spot. I close the door behind me and strip myself of my coat and thick wool gloves that Peeta bought for me a couple weeks back. I hang my coat on the hook besides the front door and wipe my boots on the giant rug that fills the room. The mudrooms fairly big. it's painted white with a coat cabinet on the left side of the room and a coat hanger on the right side. I kick off my ugg boots underneath where my coat hangs on a blue carpet before walking into the living room. I jump and nearly scream as Peeta comes into few. I thought he was at the bakery? He's sat on the couch reading How to Kill a Mockingbird.

"Sorry didnt mean to scare you." he says without looking up from his book.

"I didn't think anybody was home." i say moving over to sift through the mail seeing if theres anything for me.

"Closed down the bakery early today weathers supposed to be bad." he replies nonchalantly. "So how did the interview go?"

"Don't get me started on that." i groan throwing myself onto the leather loveseat sat vertical to the large fireplace in the living room sprawling myself out. The living rooms fairly large. There's a couch set a couple feet back in front of the fire place with a love seat on each side so the fire place and couches are forming a outline of a square.

"That bad?" he asks. i hear his book close.

I sigh "It was literally a living nightmare. No one wants a street rat." i grab one of the black pillows and put it over my face covering it completely. He lets out a huff of breath.

"How many times do i have to tell you you're not some disgusting street rat." he says sympathetically.

"Mmmmh." i hum while rolling my eyes but he cant see that I am since the pillows in the way . I hear him stand up off the coach placing his book on the coffee table. I pull the pillow off my face to see where he's going. "There's really no reason to argue with you you're too stubborn." he replies as he reaches his arms above his head and stretches a small part of his perfectly defined V showing. " Anyway I better get to making dinner Prim's gonna be back from the theater soon." He drops his arms down to his sides and walks over to me bending down to place a kiss on my forehead. I scrunch my nose up in disgust. "Seriously." i complain wiping the kiss from my forehead as he walks away. I hear him laughing as he makes his way to the kitchen and I can't help but laughing too. His laughs contagious.

About twenty minutes later Prim comes back from the theater. I never saw her as a stage performer but she proved me wrong one day when Peeta brought us to a theater downtown that he volunteers at on his free time. Ms. Randy the head adult. To be honest I have no idea who the hell she is all I know is she's in charge, had asked for someone to volunteer to sing silent night and Kam's hand was the first to shoot up. That's partly because that's her favorite christmas song of all time. She went up there and sang like she was all alone in that room and that's when i knew she'd enjoy being apart of the christmas play so i had Peeta sign her up.

Every Day after she finishes her online schooling I drive her down to the theater and one of Peeta's friends Finnick drives her home after practice. I smile to myself as we all sit at the dinner table listening to Prim tell us about all the fun stuff that happened today and for the first time in months the feeling of emptiness that has been present for so long is finally gone and i've never felt so happy in my life than i am now. but I know deep down that this isn't gonna last forever and by tomorrow i'm gonna slip back into my depression.
