I'm back...it's only been what..like months.. :) ANYWAYS i want to thank everyone who reads & reviews. Enjoy! (Hopefully)

KATNISS' POV

I spend the rest of the afternoon just enjoying Peeta's company. He laughs a lot, saying how ridiculous it is that I've practically turned into Haymitch. I which I suppose is true. But hey, there's worse people to be like...right?

I didn't even realize I'd fell asleep until I'm jolted awake by the harsh ringing of that blasted phone, that's somehow the one thing in the house I haven't managed to destroy yet.

I just groan, no one that important is going to be calling me anyways. Peeta gets up though, kissing my forehead before answering.

"Uh, hello?"

I smile slightly at how awkward he seems, but it drops immediately at the expression on his face. Shock mixed with a definite rage.

"Just a sec."

He slams the receiver down, and even though I'm partially crazy, I swear by the look on his face- I know who it has to be. How dare he have the nerve to call here...after all this time. Still, a part of me is relieved. He hasn't forgot.

That doesn't mean it's not too late.

And it also doesn't stop the spiteful worlds that spill out of my mouth.

"Peeta, I don't want to talk to him. Ever."

"Doesn't he at least deserve to hear that from you?"

No, he doesn't deserve a damn thing actually.

"I hate him!"

I thought something in my tone would finally convince him that I don't want Gale back in my life. It does not have the desired effect.

Something in his eyes changes. They go straight from prey to predator. This is not good, because I recognize that stare. The one that caused so much pain, anger and hurt- its back.

But before I even have a chance to react, he has me pinned against the wall.

to be continued...

Yes, I do realize how pathetically short this is. I'm just so tired :/ But you must trust me when I say I have more written. And I shall get on updating this story ASAP and definitely more often after that.

Please review! I seriously have no motivation to continue when you don't!
