Chapter 2

I Almost Do

And I just want to tell you

It takes everything in me not to call you.

And I wish I could run to you.

And I hope you know that every time I don't,

I almost do.

I walk through the doors to Tracker Jacker Stadium. About two years ago, I met him here. At the Speak Now Tour. That night, I told him I was enchanted to meet him. A week later we were in a long distance relationship. I told him I loved him. Two months ago, he broke up with me, and never told me why. Now I'm here for the Red Tour. We bought the tickets together. He could be here tonight. Should I be nervous?

I buy a shirt, and put it on. And go find my seat. When I get there, I'm greeted with his blonde curls. He sits with his head in his hands. I straighten my hair, and sit down. Next to him. "I thought you didn't want to see me ever again," he says without looking up.

"I wasn't not going to show up to my favorite singer's concert, just because my ex might be there." I say with a shrug, even though he can't see me.

"That's what I was hoping... I made a mistake." he sits up and looks at me. "You look beautiful."

"Stop that."

"What?"

"Stop complementing me. You broke up with me. You ended this." I break eye contact with him to look at the stage, but I can't resist , so I look at him from the corner of my eye. "Besides, I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye."

He smiles. "So how about we don't say goodbye?"

"What?"

"I could move," he says. "To be closer to you." he runs his fingers through his hair. "If you'd take me back, that is."

I stay quiet for a moment until the question I've been wanting to ask him for two months blurts out of my mouth. "Why'd you break up with me?"

"My mom was yelling at me that night, she told me I didn't deserve you. That you could do better. And I started to believe her." He shakes his head. "But I regretted it, as soon as I heard how broken you voice sounded over the phone. I'm sorry. I don't deserve you."

"Peeta," I say. "It's okay, I forgive you."

He snaps his head up to look at me. "Will you be my girlfriend again?"

I laugh. "Yeah, sure, why not?"

He pulls me into a tight hug. "I love you."

"Stay?" I ask.

"Yeah," he kisses my forehead. "Always." Then the lights turn off, and we laugh as girls start screaming. "Calm down ladies," he says. "It's just the opening act." I giggle and pull away from him so I can sit down, since I'll be standing the whole time Taylor is out.

Joel Crouse comes out and plays a few songs, the Ed Sheeran comes out. I sing along, and feel Peeta's eyes on me, I look over. "What?"

"Nothing," he smiles. "Just glad I have you back." I smile and put my head on his shoulder and we sing along to 'Give Me Love'.

After that, Ed leaves, and we wait for Taylor. The lights go out once again, and I scream along with all the other girls in Tracker Jacker Stadium, and Peeta laughs. Taylor comes out and the music to 'State Of Grace' starts.

"I'm walking fast through the traffic lights," Taylor starts. "Busy streets and busy lives. And all we know is touch and go. We are alone with our changing minds. We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds or fades in time. And I never saw you coming, and I'll never be the same."

I look at Peeta and watch him sing along. I really did never see him coming, that night I walked through these doors, I never thought I'd meet a boy. I zone out staring at him for most of the song, until he looks over, and takes my hand, then I finally look back at Taylor, and start singing again.

"And I never saw you coming. And I'll never be the same. This is a state of grace. This is the worthwhile fight. Love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right."

Up next, we go to the 1989 World Tour! I hope you guys are liking this story, I really loved combining my two favorite things, Hunger Games and Taylor Swift. I have been to the Red Tour, and it was awesome... Anyway tell me what you think in the reviews.
