I feel numb, completely numb. My eyes widen, and I feel as if I can't breathe. My heart feels as if it shattered into a million pieces. Peeta and Delly both don't know that I'm here yet, until my mouth lets out a strangled cry. I feel my face turn a bright shade of red as Peeta faces me. This is the first time I've seen his eyes in over a year, and more tears stream down my face as I run out of his house. I hear Peeta call out my name as I run, but I don't stop at all until I reach the meadow. I fall down in the meadow and feel sobs rack through my body. I've never felt this way before, I feel so low. I had risked my friendship, or my entire relationship with Gale to make it here. I came just for Peeta. But I see he's found someone else, Delly.

"Katniss?" I hear a familiar, gentle voice say. I don't even sit up to talk to the person, I already know who it is.

"I don't want to talk to you." I say rolling over onto my stomach, and resting my head on the soft grass while I look in the opposite direction from him. I sniffle and he continues talking.

"Katniss listen, I-"

"Peeta, just go away, please." I say turning to face him. As soon as he looks into my eyes, his face floods with worry, regret, and sadness. My puffy red eyes look into his, and I feel like running again. How could he do that? Delly? I thought he loved me…I didn't think I loved him…But I do, I know that now.

"No, Katniss, Talk to me." He says sitting down next to where I lay. I sit up and look him right in the face.

"H-How could you?" I choke out while still crying my eyes out.

"How could I? You left Katniss. I was miserable without you, then me and Delly got closer, eventually we started dating. She was there for me when you weren't." He says sadly. I look away from him and out into the distance.

"I'm so sorry Peeta." I say, he looks over at me. I feel a rush of guilt wave of me. I really wasn't there for him. I still don't deserve him.

"I have to get back to my house." He mutters standing up.

"I love you." I mutter just as he turns to leave. He backs up and turns to face me.

"What did you just say?"

"I love you. Yeah Peeta, I really said it." I say lying back down in the grass. I do love him. I didn't realize it until a few moments ago, but I think I always have. I love Peeta Mellark.

"Katniss are you serious?" He asks shocked. Of course he doesn't believe me.

"Why would I lie about something like this? Yes Peeta. I love you." He starts to speak, but I interrupt him. "The question is do you still love me?"

"Well of course I love you Katniss. I never stopped, but I love Delly to you know…"

"So you're still going to get married?" I ask.

"That depends, I never heard her answer." He says stifling a chuckle. He then bids goodbye and runs back to his house. I soon follow, and walk inside while Delly and Peeta stand there.

"Katniss!" Delly calls running to me. She envelopes me in a hug. I'm shocked at first, then I remember Delly's kindness.

"Oh, H-Hi Delly." I say weakly smiling. She gives me a huge smile. And holds out her hand to reveal a ring…

"Look Katniss! Peeta and I are getting married!" she squeals.

"That's great!" I chirp looking over at Peeta who gives me a shrug and a smile.

"Before you came in, we briefly discussed it." Delly said. I nodded. "I want to get married next week!"

"Woah, Delly! Don't you think that's a bit of a rush?" I ask. I thought I would have time to change Peeta's mind, convince Delly it was a mistake before the wedding, but if the wedding is next week, there's no way I can get Peeta back.

"Crazy things happen when you're in love!" She says giggling and hugging Peeta.

Yeah….CRAZY things…


A/N: Yay for enthusiastic Delly! That means Katniss has to put a stop to the wedding right? Wait and find out what's happening!
