So here is the second chapter, please please please review as I really enjoy writing this and it would mean so much if I could get some reviews, this chapter isn't one of my best but it will do...so chapter 2!


As I step back inside after my daily visit to the woods, the smell of a freshly cooked stew hits me immediately, Peeta decided to prepare all the food for our wedding himself, said that he felt like he needed to do his part considering I have been the one preparing most things, to be honest staying at home on my own gets me down and I can't help but think of memories of the past I once lived so our wedding preparations is the only thing to keep me busy, and now with only two weeks till we become husband and wife, Peeta wants to do his part.

Peeta's face lights up when he sees I'm home, he places the pan he was carrying on the worktop and comes towards me, I wrap my arms around his neck, his on my waist.

''Hey beautiful'' he greets me

''Hey handsome'' I reply and place a kiss on his lips; he releases himself from my grasp and returns to the stew.

''Good day?'' he asks

''Same old'' I reply, everyday is the same as the last; I go hunting and sell my game at the local market. Peeta spends half a day at the bakery we own and spends the other half in our kitchen working on food for our wedding. We try to keep as busy as possible so that the bad memories of the past don't overcome us. Not only does it prevent us thinking of what once was, it prevents Peeta's flashbacks too which have become less and less frequent over the years, however, every so often, he'll grip onto whatever is nearby and completely forget who he is, yes, it gets emotional and every time he asks me what's real and what isn't anger rises up inside me, not at him, at the Capitol and the fact they did this to him, the man I love.

''How about you?'' I ask

''Just a regular day'' he replies ''Haymitch popped into the bakery today...sober''

''Probably ran out of liquor, he only leaves his house when he needs to stock up''

''He seemed quite happy today, I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that Effie is coming down for our wedding?'' Peeta says with a cheeky grin

''I wonder'' I reply with the same grin

''How about I finish up here and we go out for a walk? We need a bit of down time''

''Sounds good, just let me shower'' I place a kiss on his lips and head upstairs. When I come back down Peeta has cleaned up the kitchen and left a pot of stew on the side ready to eat when we return from our walk

''Ready?'' I ask

''Yep'' he replies, we head outside, grip each other's hand and begin to stroll through the village of the district, we pass through the centre of the district and around the outskirts by the woods, our hands constantly interlocked. We make our way to the patio, a place on the highest hill in the district that overlooks the towns below and in the evening is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Not many people visit the patio probably due to the fact that it takes at least 20 minutes to climb to the top, but Peeta and I make sure we visit regularly. We sit in silence at the top watching the sunset intertwined in each other's arms comforted by the other ones embrace. I look down at my engagement ring, I find it hard to imagine a life without Peeta, I don't think I could have continued living if he hadn't escaped the Capitols grasp.

''Katniss?'' Peeta asks breaking the silence

''Yes?'' I ask turning my head to look at him

''I love you, more than anything. I'm so glad our life is finally coming together at last, I know we've had a bad past but now I really feel we can move on and face the world together, I love you so much and don't you ever forget that, even when I have my flashback, don't ever forget I will always be with you and will never ever leave you''

I feel my eyes watering, I turn away before Peeta can notice, I don't say anything, I don't think Peeta even wanted a reply he has always been the one who has a way with words, it was just a way to reassure me everything will be alright, as long as we have each other we can face the world together. I bury myself deeper into his chest and continue to watch the sunset...I have never been happier than I am now and I know one thing for sure, I can not wait to become Mrs Mellark.
