Peeta

I'm on my way up to the floor where I was staying; still running through my head about the deal I've made with President Snow, then the elevator opened and managed myself out. I walked down the corridor on my way to my room when I saw Katniss.

"Peeta!" She called.

"Hey Katniss, what are you doing here?" I asked. She's supposed to be in the training center right now, it's the last training we have left since tomorrow is the interview of all the tributes. Well I'm supposed to be with her actually but I have some matters to attend so I expected that she'll go without me.

"I was looking for you. Where have you been?" She asked. Worried

"I wanted to be alone." I lied. I really couldn't tell her that I came to see President Snow and made a bargain with him, she'll freak out! "Why are you looking for me anyway? Aren't you supposed be in the training center?" I asked

"Oh. Well that's why I wanted to see you because Haymitch said that the training is cancelled today." What? Why would they cancel the training today? But whatever I'll just have a day off with Katniss.

"So we have a day off huh?" I smiled. Katniss looked at me with an amused expression.

"What are you thinking Peeta? You're smile is creeping me out!" I laugh.

"I was thinking that we have the whole day together and I wanted to spend it with you. If you want to, of course." I let her decide for us because I'm such a gentleman, and gentlemen don't push a lady to do something she didn't want to do.

"Of course I want that. Come on then." She grabbed my hand and we walked to elevator. When we reached the rooftop we lay a blanket and sit there. We manage to call an Avox and ask her to bring us some food. It's really a nice day but the recent meeting with President Snow is poking in my mind. There's still a few minutes before the sun goes down. I was playing with Katniss hair while she's humming a beautiful song. Then I looked at her and suddenly think about the things I love about her and wanted to keep her with me forever but I know that's impossible. So impossible, she looked at me and asks." What?"

"I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now, and live in it forever." I said. I know this comments doesn't make her happy much but I'm always honest with what I feel.

"Okay." She said. I was shocked at her response. But I managed to smile.

"Then you'll allow it?" This is the first time she acknowledged my affection and I can't wipe out the grin on my face.

"I'll allow it." She replied.

Then the sunset took my attention. It's not as beautiful as the sunset of twelve but still a sunset. I raised Katniss where she lay and pointed where the sun is setting down. "I didn't think you'd want to miss it." I said. Then she mumbled me a "Thanks." A few minutes later we decided to go down.

"Tomorrow is the interview. What are you planning on saying Peeta?" She asked. I planned it all actually; if President Snow didn't agree with me then I'll just shock the whole Panem with my words. But I'm not going to tell her that. She'll get mad at me.

"I'm not sure." I lied.

"You're not going to blow all the Panem again do you?" She teased. I smiled but then nod.

"Well, goodnight Peeta." She gives me quick a peck on the lips and entered her room. I smiled again. Could this day get any better? I entered my room and take a quick shower, after the shower I lay myself on the bed thinking of tomorrow, whatever happens tomorrow. I'll make sure Katniss is safe and alive. After an hour thinking of a future I'll never have, I finally dozed off to sleep.

Portia woke me up telling me it's time to look fabulous again.

"Come on Peeta! You're going to be late!" She said.

"Portia, it's only 9 the interview doesn't start until 6." I muttered. I'm a morning Person but I just really want to lay on the bed today.

"Don't you want to see what you're going to wear today?" She asked. I really don't.

"Why can't you just tell me?" I said getting up. I looked at her and waited for an answer.

"No. Come on." She said.

About 4 in the afternoon.

"This is what you're going to be wearing today." She showed me a suit. A suit that used when a man is getting married here in the Capitol. It's gorgeous but it just remind me of wedding that I'll never have.

"Why am I going to wear this?" I asked annoyed.

"We don't have a choice. President Snow wanted you to wear this." That man!

"So Katniss is wearing her wedding gown?" I wonder.

"Yes. Now got put it on so we could start your make-up." I took the suit and started dressing myself. I got to admit it looks good on me. Then my prep team started making me up. After an hour of make-up they let me go.

I started fidgeting. Going back and forth because I couldn't calm myself. I was thinking about the recent visit to President Snow, he still don't have an answer! Then I go back and forth again glancing at the door every turn, when suddenly Portia asked.

"Peeta, what's wrong?" I looked at her thinking if I could trust Portia with my secret.

"No. nothing's wrong, just nervous" I lied.

"Then stop fidgeting you'll make yourself sweat and ruin your make-up!" I do what she said. I sit on the nearest chair I could find.

"Get up Peeta you should be at the back stage right now, all the tributes are there now." She said. I get up and come with her.

We are walking down the stair when I saw Katniss. She looks absolutely stunning. Mesmerized at her beauty I started to walk towards her.

"Hey." I said not taking my eyes off of her.

"Hey" She smiled but worry didn't escape her eyes. Before I could say anything the anthem of Panem started playing. Why? It's just 5:30, we still have half an hour to talk. Then Caesar started to talk.

"Hello! Before the interview begins President Snow would like to make a few announcements concerning this year's Quell. President Snow." Then President Snow appears on the big screen.

"I know all of you are excited for this year's game, but I am here in front of every person in Panem announcing that this year's game is cancelled." The crowd started freaking out. Shouting for joy, but I fixed my eyes on the screen. " I don't have the heart to send all those brave victors to their death. If they die, who would protect Panem? But next year's game will be more deadly because 4 will be picked in each district, 2 girls and 2 boys as payment of this year's cancellation of game. That would be all. Goodnight Panem." As soon as the screen go blank I looked at Katniss she has the happiest smile in the room, I gave her a weak smile. She's about to say something but two Peacekeepers heading to our direction shut her mouth.

"Mr. Mellark?" One of the Peacekeeper asked.

"Yeah?" I said.

"President Snow wanted to see you." He said. I looked at Katniss and her eyes are questioning. Then I looked around me and I saw Finnick. He looked at me with an odd expression. Then I diverted my eyes to Haymitch just like Katniss his eyes are questioning but then I looked away and stared down at Katniss.

"It's going to be okay. I'll be back." I give her weak smile and a quick kiss on the lips and started to walk away.

I looked at her one last time as if it's going to be the last time I'll ever see her.
