"Are you alright?What happened?Where have you been?" I ask as I sob and hold Prim in my arms. Peeta sits down across from us. Buttercup comes along and snuggles Prim. We start eating our pancakes and Prim starts telling us her story. "Well I woke up in hospital. The last memory I had was you were burning. I thought you were dead until a nurse told me you weren't. A few weeks later on television I saw you kill Coin and you being arrested. I stormed out of the hospital and I started screaming and crying. Because they were going to execute you"
Those words struck me. "Why didn't they?" I say after a long silence. "I made a petition so you would be free. Many people signed it including Haymitch and Peeta. I told them not to tell you I wanted my arrival to be a surprise but Peeta half ruined it by telling you this morning"
"I didn't half ruin it, probably quarter cause from the look of her face this morning I bet she thought I was hallucinating any way I'll ..."
I smile how quickly these two people can change my mood. Two people I'm certain I love. Wait what!? Two people I'm certain I love Katniss you are not in love with Peeta, you are not in love with Peeta, you are not...
"Yoo Hoo Katniss, did you hear what I said" Peeta snaps his fingers in front of my face.
"What?Who?Where?"
"I'll meet you at the bakery at noon I need your help."
"Oh Ok see you then"
Prim is brushing my hair. She had just seen the the plant book and was very pleased at our work."Prim why do I think you died?"
"Well no one knows for sure but my theory is that Coin hijacked you into thinking I was dead like Peeta thought you were a mutt."
"Oh"That's all I say.
(Awkward Silence)
"Katniss do you love Peeta?"
My heart stopped in its tracks. My brain dwelled in this..."Yeah no I don't know"
Prim sees my expression "Sorry Katniss, just wanted to tell you that if you do you should tell him soon because I don't want you to be hurt like the baker and I don't want Peeta to be hurt either after he builds up hope over time." My hair is in my normal braid down my back. "Prim I think I'm falling for him it's just that I'm afraid if his mind picks up bad memories if I tell him. Prim I'm just scared."
After a long silence Prim changes the topic "Guess what were helping Peeta rebuild the bakery today! I can't wait! Effie called and said she was coming with supplies and workers"
"Typical 12 year old!" I say under my breath loud enough for Prim to hear. "I'm 13 almost 14 brainless!" and were laughing. Things were getting better with Prim around except for the fact that now I'm reminded constantly that I may break Peeta's heart.
I'll try to make the chapters a bit longer. Reviews and suggestions are welcome.
