Chapter 2

It had been a week since she's seen Peeta, every time she goes to see him he's out.

Haymitch tells her "He's at the bakery."

and Effie says "He's been hanging out with Delly.

"Has he been getting better?" she put a worried face on.

"He's been wonderful." Effie told her.

After sitting for two minutes her patience got the best of her, she bolt out the door and walked towards the bakery. When she got to the door she heard Peeta grunting she thought he might be having another meltdown, so she ran in and screamed his name "Peeta!" But then she saw them. She saw what she had wished she had never seen. Peeta fucking Delly on the bakery table. Her mouth dropped to the floor shocked, she didn't know if she should yell or cry so she ran. She ran to the woods. Peeta pulled up his pants and ran after her. She finally stopped running when she got the lake that her father took her to. She stripped down till she was butt naked and walked into the lake. Peeta trying to catch his breath and showed up moments later.

"Katniss! I'm sorry!" he pleaded.

He took off his cloths and got in the water with her. Even though he can't swim he could stand in the water where she was he wrapped his arms around her and she cried in his neck. After minutes she finally stopped crying and pushed Peeta off of her. "Please leave me alone for a few days." She couldn't look him in the eye. She just looked down at the water. She put her cloths back on and so did Peeta. He walked a few steps behind her until she got home, she stopped and turned around. "I'm pregnant Peeta…. but I don't think I'm going to keep it." She turned back and walked into the house, that's when Peeta had the biggest melt down anyone has ever seen. Katniss ran in the house and locked the door behind her. Peeta kicked and kicked till the door broke in half, Katniss was standing there dumbfounded. "Peeta please don't hurt me." She begged. He threw her to the ground and she screamed. His knee jabbed the spot her baby was growing his hands wrung around her neck and her choked her. Her face got beat red, his knee killed the baby inside her and broke a piece of her hip. Haymitch came running in and threw Peeta off of her. Katniss's blood was all over her pants. Her neck already starting to bruise. She was having trouble breathing before she passed out.

She woke up in her bed, her mother stroking her hair. She closed her eyes once more before really waking up. "I have you on painkillers, your left hip is broken and.." she sniffed. "You lost the baby." Her mother broke out in tears. Katniss hasn't seen her mom since Prim died. She ran out of them room and that's when Katniss realized Gale sitting in the chair next to her.

"Hey Catnip."

She was so stund at seeing him no words could come out of her mouth.

"Where's Peeta?" she had a raspy voice from screaming.

"Peeta's locked up in Haymitch's house." Gale murmured.

"I want to see him." She said.

"You can't." Gale told her.

"Why?" her lip quivered.

"He might lose control again."

She shook her head "Please Gale. Please."

"How could you want to see him again after that?" he questioned her.

"Why would I want to talk to you after you killed my sister?" she snapped back.

He bit his lips and shook his head. "You can't walk yet Catnip, I'm sorry you can't see him." She started to move around and feeling the pain again. "Mom." She cried out. Her mother came in the room with a pain killer knowing that she was going to need it.

Six weeks… Six weeks it took for her hip to heal. She can finally see Peeta, Gale kept trying to convince her not to see him that she should wait. When they walked up the stairs Effie opened the door. "Hey Kat." She was wearing one of her ridiculous outfits again. "Hey Effie." She took Katniss's hand and held it tight as she lead her to Peeta's room. "He's been asking to see you since that day." She whispered in Katniss's ear. Katniss started to get teary eye'd. Her heart started to pound against her chest and all she could hear is her heart beating. They got to his door and she took at deep breathe in, she opened the door and he was lying there in with his hands strapped down to the bed like how they were when she first saw him in district thirteen. He started to cry when he saw how beat up she was. She had bruises around her neck and walked with a limp.

"I'm sorry Katniss."

He went to cover his face with his hands but the straps kept them down. She walked over to the side of his bed and wiped the tears off his face.

"I missed you." Was all she could say.

"I love you katapiller." He said softly.

"I love you too." She said back.

She started to take off the straps and Gale said "Catnip, I don't think that's a good idea." "Gale please give up some space." She scowled at him and left the room. She continued took off the straps that held his hands down, and hugged him, but he would hug her. "I wasn't going to get rid of the baby. That baby was our baby and I would love it even if we weren't together." He stared at the spot the baby use to be in, and chocked out more tears. She was trying so hard to keep from crying. She chocked back her tears and smiled for him.

"How can you smile at me after what I did to you?" Peeta can't look her in the eye, better yet look at what he did her.

"I think it would be better if you just get over me." He kept looking down at his hands.

"That's what you want? Do you love someone else Peeta? You fuck Delly and now you want to leave me?"

"Katniss, I never want you to get over me but I'm thinking for you. I'm thinking about what will be best for you."

She interrupted "Don't. You're what's best for me."

She slide down the wall and tucked her head in between her knee's.

"I'm sorry Katapiller." He mumbled.

"Please don't call me that." She frowned.

They sat in silence before she really knew that this was it. She had to get over Peeta, but she promised herself to never love another man. That Peeta and her have gone through so much to care about anyone else. Before she opened the door to leave she turned back and a tear fell from her eye. "I love you.. boy with the bread." She left and hugged onto Gale and cried into his chest. Gale picked her up and she wrapped her legs around him and he carried her towards her house. When he started to walk up the steps she stopped him. "Gale can we go to the woods?" He carried her up the stairs and walked out to let her get dressed. She put on her hunting boots and her father's leather jacket. She went to the bathroom to rebraid her hair, she saw in the mirror how beat up she looked. She touched her bruises on her neck flinching from the raw area. As much as she wanted to hate Peeta she couldn't. She fixed her braid and filler her hands with water and splashed it on her face to refresh herself. She stared at herself a little longer trying to collect her thoughts. She walked down the stairs and Gale was looking at the picture of Peeta and Katniss together in the Capitol rooms the night before the Quart Quell. She thought about how happy they were before President Snow took that all away from her.

"Ready?" she said clearing her throat.

When she got to the woods she ran to the tree she hid her old bow and arrows in, she touched the feather end of the arrow and shot it in the eye of a squirrel.

"You still got it Catnip." Gale played with her.

She dropped her bow and pushed Gale into the tree.

"Why did you leave me?" she weakly said.

"I needed you. I needed you and you left." She said angrily

She grabbed on to the front of his shirt and she pushed him more into the tree.

"I hate you." She swung to hit him across the face but he picked her up threw her over his shoulder.

"Gale put me down." She wiggled on his shoulder.

"Are you going to hit me?" he questioned.

"If you don't put me down I will." She scolded

He put her down and stared at her. "Your beautiful."

She knew he was lying her hair was now in a knot and her eye's still puffy from crying. He pulled her in his arms and lean down to kiss her forehead. She couldn't decide if she wanted him to stop or to continue. She tilted her head back and he kissed her neck. He whispered into her neck "I love you." His kisses aren't the same as peeta's she thinks to herself.

"I want you." He says licking her neck.

She doesn't respond she just lets him take control. His hand rubs her clit through her pants, she moans into his ear. She moves his hand and gets on her knees in front of him and unbuckled his pants. She put her hand in his pants and his length was smaller then Peetas. She chuckled a little at the thought. She pulled his length out and licked the tip. He moan and his hand gripped the tree. She put his length in her mouth licking around the tip and then out pushing it back into the back of her throat. He put his other hand in her hair hand pushed her head up and down his hardened cock. "Fuck." He mumbled. He reached his climax and semen squirted down her throat. She swallowed and licked her lips. Gale fixed himself up and told her "Your so fucking good at that."

It's been two months since Katniss has seen Peeta, She's been having a lot more nightmare's even though Gale is there to comfort her. He tries to wake her up in the middle of the night but can't because she's so deep in the terror. She misses Peeta, she thinks about his arms and how they hold her perfectly. His warm soft lips putting soft kisses all over her body. She's walks to the bakery to get bread but mostly hoping Peeta will be there. When she opened the door she notices that he installed a bell to ring to tell him when a costumers here.

"I'll be right with you." He yelled from the back room.

She wandered over to where there was a fresh batch of her favorite cheese buns. She popped one in her mouth and the cheese melted on her tongue, she moaned at the taste. He came out and he looked so good, he looked more fit and muscular, his hair scuffed up. He brought out a cake and sat it down before he notice it was Katniss.

"Hi Peeta." She smiled.

"Hi Katapiller." He looked shocked.

"Are you here for some cheese buns?" he asked.

"Um." She paused.

"Katapiller. I miss you so much." Peeta jumped in.

He walked out in front of the counter and got down on one knee in front of her. He pulled out the pearl that he gave her in the Quarter Quell that was now on a gold banned.

"Katapiller take me back and Marry Me." He held out the ring.

She couldn't think straight so she stood there stuttering she finally chock out words.

"No… We still have a lot to work out Peeta."

"I want to be with you Katniss." He pleaded

She got down on her knee's with him

"You are with me." She pulled him into a hug.

She melted in his arms, the warm heat coming off his body made her never want to let go of him. How she missed the way he felt against her, the way she felt when she was around him. He pulled her away slightly and put a kiss on her forehead. She put her hand on his cheek and they were staring at each other. His eye's looked different. They looked tired and sad. She put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear. "I love you." He put his arms around her and rubbed his hands up and down her back "I love you too." They stayed like that for minuets just taking each other in.

"I missed you." He hugged her even more tightening his grip on her.

They stood up and he put the ring on her finger even though she said no. He walked behind the counter and put her cheese buns in a bag and handed it to her.

"Can I come over tonight?" Peeta asked shyly.

She tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear and smiled. "Yes."

When she got home Gale was sitting at the kitchen table impatiently waiting.

"Where have you been?" Gale tapped his fingers on the table.

"I…I..I was at the bakery." She stuttered.

"Was Peeta there?" Gale jumped in.

"Yes.."

Gale noticed to ring on her finger.

"Did you guys do anything?" Gale questioned.

"No?" she played with her hair.

He got up and slide out of the chair and kicked it behind him the big bang made Katniss flinch.

"Katniss your lying to me." Gale came closer to her and shoved her to the wall. He put his hand into a fist and hit the spot next to her head.

"Don't lie to me Katniss." He clenched his jaw.

"Gale I'm not. I promise." She whispered.

He lifted up her shirt and he threw her to the ground.

"Gale stop." She begged.

"Katniss take me in your mouth." He sat on top of her.

"Gale stop!" she tried to push him off of her but he was too heavy for her.

He took a knife out from his pocket and cut her shirt off. "Gale please." He took pieces of her shirt and tied her hands to the legs of the couch; he then cut off her bra reviling her chest. He started to cut her pants, He pulled her panties off and started to unbuckle his pants. She started to scream and kick.

"Help!" she pleaded "Help!"

He stopped undoing his pants and put his hand on her mouth, scream and I'll kill Peeta. She started to cry, she didn't want it to be like this. She's only had sex once and that was with Peeta. She only wanted Peeta. He removed his hand and stood up to take off his pants once he was down to his boxers he laid on top of her and opened her legs, and rubbed his cock against her wetness.

"Your so wet Katniss." He moaned.

"Gale please." She chocked through tears.

Then all of the sudden someone punched Gale and he was knocked out. Peeta untied her from the couch, he took off his shirt to cover her body. He hugged her and whispered in her hair "I'm sorry." She didn't know why he was apologizing but she didn't care she just wanted to be in the comfort of Peetas arms. She put her head in his neck and he lifted her onto his lap. They just sat there holding onto each other as Gale laid in an awkward position knocked unconscious.
