Thanx for reading, when I got the reviews I almost started crying, I got so happy, I sat there smiling to myself :D THANK YOU!

Btw, from the last chapter, I'm not sure how it is in the books, if it would be possible for Haymitch to sit in his kitchen and watch Peeta and Katniss in their living room, but this is a fanfic and now it is possible. :)

Please review :D


I took a deep breath, the fresh spring air in the forest, the birds singing in the trees, I saw a mockingjay sitting down in a tree, I whistled Rue's melody the first time in a very long time, the mockingjay answered and I smiled a little. I remembered Rue, the way she stood, the way she loved music, how she loved her siblings and how sweet she was. I felt the tears making their way to my eyes, but I didn't care, in the forest I was alone. I sat down at a stone and started to sing, a lot of different songs, all the birds got silent, just as Peeta said, just as when my father sang, and I sang and sang, when the songs ended it was a two second silence and then all the mockingjays started singing at the same time, it was beautiful, and powerful. I got up and walked for a while, I saw a wild turkey, but I didn't shoot it, it reminded me about when Gale got beaten by Thread. Instead I shot a squirrel and a rabbit, on my way home I walked through the seam. I went to my family's old home; no one lived there, maybe because everyone knew it had been my house, every other house had been rebuilt and families had moved in. I went in to what once had been a house. It was almost nothing left, but I grew up here, and on the stairs there were still a few roses and a card.

I love you Primrose Everdeen, I always have, and I always will.

Rest in Peace.

There was no name, but the flowers looked fresh, probably a lot of boys in her age liked her, she was cute and kind, but not many of them would still five years later bring roses to her old house, I would like to meet that boy, maybe someone who loved her like me, and someone to talk about her with. I read the card once more and then I went to Hazelle and gave her the rabbit and the squirrel.

"Thank you so much Katniss." She said. I smiled at her.

"You need them more than I do." I said, but they had it a lot better now than before the wars. Now they got some money every month and Hazelle had a work, and so did Rory and some of Gale's money probably went to them too.

"Thank you." She said again and then I left.


First I went in to town and bought some stuff that I needed. Then I went to Greasy Sae and talked to her for a while. After that I went to the bakery, when I came closer I felt the smell of fresh bread, and in the windows I saw different, beautiful cakes and cookies that Peeta had decorated. When I walked up the stairs and opened the door I saw Julie standing there, she was buying some bread and had a beautifully decorated cake standing on the table next to her.

When I came in Peeta looked up from her and over at me, he smiled. Julie turned around and frowned, I smiled at Peeta and ignored Julie, after yesterday's talk she could do what she wanted, but Peeta was mine. There was one more costumer in the bakery, but he just said 'hi' to me and continued to look for some bread he wanted. I went to Peeta and Julie.

"Thank you for the cake Peeta, it's beautiful." She said 'beautiful' like it wasn't just the cake that was beautiful. He smiled;

"Thank you." He said. I went to stand next to him, I took his hand under the table.

"I have to leave now, see you soon Peeta." She said with this sugar sweet voice, obviously flirting. Urgh, I couldn't stand her, she didn't even look at me.

"Bye." Peeta said. When she was out the other costumer asked something and Peeta explained and then he bought some bread and left. Peeta turned to me and kissed me lightly.

"Hi, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I just wanted to meet the cutest baker in town." I said with a smile.

"Oh, okay, I'll tell Joe." Joe was one of the guys working in the bakery, a lot of women thought he was good looking. I laughed a little.

"Why, I'm already talking to the best..." He cut me off with a kiss. Then he had to keep working, I said hello to Jenna and then I left. I started walking home, but when I came out of town Julie stood there staring at me, I just walked, whatever she would do, she probably could not hurt me, I had been through the hunger games, not once, but twice, I had been the mockingjay, the symbol of the rebellion, I had been both shot and burned, I thought I could handle some bitch.
When I came closer she started talking to me;

"Oh, where is Peeta now?" she asked.

"In the bakery, working." I said like it was obvious, and it was pretty obvious.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yes, quite sure." She looked at me and I smiled at her.

"What if he is with some girls?" she asked me, she was so pathetic, if the things she came up with would be good, they could be hurting, but she just made up things.

"Why would he?" I asked. She smiled.

"He did kiss me once." She said.

"Aha, when?" I asked like I didn't care.

"Or really twice; once in school, and once today when we talked about our childhood." I felt a sting of jealousy, that about today I didn't believe for a second, he was a good liar, but he would have told me when I was there, but that about when they were young could be true. She was in our class in school, and many girls liked him before everyone in Panem knew he loved me. I shouldn't care about what he did before we met, but I didn't like the idea of it.

"Got unsecure now?" she asked me with a big smile.

"I don't know about that in school, but I know you didn't kiss him today." I said, her smile faded.

"Maybe, or maybe not, you will ever know…" she said.

"Or then I just ask Peeta, I bet he won't lie to me." I said with a little smile.

"I don't like you Katniss." Julie said; I wasn't surprised.

"And why is that?" I asked her.

"Because, first; before the 74:th hunger games, Peeta liked me, and I loved him, still do, but then you brainwashed him and now he is really confused. Second; everyone just loves the mockingjay, you are always so perfect, but what about me? I want to feel loved too…" she looked sad, I almost felt pity for her, not about that first thing, but the second.

"I didn't like being the mockingjay." I said. "I didn't like that everyone loved me, and I didn't think anything bad about you before you started to run after Peeta…" I said honestly.

"Don't get emotional, I don't want your pity, I hate you Everdeen." She hissed; that made me go back to my old me, hating her.

"Sorry then, but I think it's up to Peeta who he wants to be with." I said quite hard.

"But there is the problem, he can't leave you, because you're so emotionally weak, you would just break down if he left you for me." That was true, but I didn't believe that it was the reason that Peeta stayed with me, and after what he had told me the day before, I didn't think Peeta would ever leave me.

"Yes… that's why he is with me…" I said sarcastically and started walking towards home.

"This isn't over Everdeen, I don't like you, and Peeta will be mine." I smiled to myself.

"Okay" I said over my shoulder, stupid girl.


When I came home I packed up the stuff I had bought in town, after that I cleaned a little. When I was cleaning the bookshelf I heard that something fell down at the floor, I bent down started to look for what it was. When I saw what it was that had fallen, I sat down at the floor taking it to my hands, I looked at it and then I felt how the tears started coming to my eyes. I blinked once, then I shut my eyes for a few seconds but when I opened my eyes it was still there. I put it against my lips and kiss it gently, my pearl, the pearl I got from Peeta that night at the beach at the Quarter Quell, I had been looking for it and all the time it had been lying here at the bookshelf. I felt the tears run down my cheeks out of happiness.

This pearl had been with me many nights when Peeta was caught in the Capitol, it was our pearl, and now it would be safe. When Peeta came home I was in the kitchen, he came in and I smiled and hugged him.

"What's up?" he asked me with a smile. "Not that I don't like it." He said and kissed me.

"You want to know what I found today when I was cleaning?" I asked him. He nodded and smiled. I took the pearl out of my pocket and showed it to him.

"Is that…" he asked me.

"It's the pearl you gave me during the Quarter Quell." I said smiling.

"I haven't seen it since that." That must mean I lost it before Peeta came back to twelve.

"Really? Well, I held it every night when you were in the Capitol, it helped me stay strong." I said, as an answer he kissed me.


After that we made dinner, or he made dinner, I can't cook. We ate and chatted about a lot of stuff. I decided to bring up when I was talking to Julie earlier today.

"After I left the bakery today I met Julie."

"Hm, but she left just a couple of minutes before you."

"Yeah, but she was waiting for me, she told me something about you and her." Suddenly I felt unsecure about this, what if they really had been a couple, and Peeta somewhere deep down still liked her, because she obviously liked him, or loved him, or where obsessed with him or something.

"What?" he said with a smile.

"Something about that you two where a couple when we were young…" I said, and tried to think, Peeta was always surrounded by friends, and girls, in school but I couldn't remember if she had been one of them.

"It's true." He said. I felt jealous of that, I didn't like it; that meant they had history together, and that's a bad thing.

"Well, then she should be happy." I said quietly. He laughed a little.

"Katniss Everdeen, I hope you are not jealous?" he said with a smile.

"Of course I am, wouldn't you be? If some handsome guy tried to hit on me, and then you would realize that we had history together." His smile faded, he stared at me and it took me a few seconds to understand why. Gale. Of course, he was jealous when I was with Gale, and I was jealous when Julie just talked to him, I even hugged Gale… "Oh, Peeta I'm sorry, I shouldn't be jealous" I said.

"No, you shouldn't, it's so unnecessary…" he said and smiled again. I got up from my chair and walked around the table to him. I kissed his neck.

"It's a little hard not to be jealous when she yells in my face that you love her and not me, but I really don't believe it." I said. He turned around.

"You don't believe her?" he asks.

"No, I don't believe her."

"And why do you not believe her?" he was teasing with me.

"First; you can't say no when I do this…" I said and started to kiss him passionately, a little moan escaped him when I sat down in his lap to be able to kiss him better. After about a minute I rise up
"… and second; you want more now." I smile at him.

"Damn, you know me too well." He said with a little laugh. I started to do the dishes, and of course I felt his hands around me after a few minutes. He kissed my head, and I felt that he sniffed in my hair and down to my neck, after a few seconds I felt his warm, soft lips against my neck too.

"You're right." He said

"About what." I asked, trying to do the dishes, but it was a little hard to concentrate. When he was like this I got butterflies in my stomach and felt completely happy that he was mine and mine only.

"About that I'm all yours, I would do anything for you." He said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I turned around and kissed him. When we broke the kiss his gorgeous eyes were sparkling. I kissed him again and then I finished the dishes. We ended up sitting at the floor in the living room.
We watched the fire, my head in his lap, he was playing with my hair, and I was looking in to the flames.

"Do you really think I would do that?" he asked me suddenly.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Be with you, while still loving Julie… Do you really think I could do that to you?"

"Probably not…" I said "But she said something about feeling too guilty to leave me." I said. He laughed a little.

"I wouldn't leave you, never, as long as you want me I'm yours, and probably after that too…" he said, I sat up and snuggled up next to him, he put his arm around me and I leaned my head against his shoulder. We just sat there in silence.

"Today I went
to my old house." I said. He looked at me expecting me to continue. "The ruins of the house were still there, after all these years no one has rebuilt that house." He didn't know what to say, so I continued; "Someone had left flowers at the stairs, to Prim, there was a card that said that this person loved her, and always would." I said

"Who was it from?" Peeta asked.

"I don't know, it wasn't signed." We were silent for a few moments.

"I didn't know Prim very well." Peeta said. I looked at him. "But I spoke to her a few times, I remember once in 13, everyone was up to training and other stuff, I was very confused, I remembered stuff like the bread, but I wasn't sure if I loved you, and I didn't get an answer from you, you just left." I remembered that.

"Sorry for that." I said.

"I deserved it, yeah, but you were out training or something, and I felt completely alone walking around in those corridors all day. I walked and heard that someone said my name, I turned around and there Prim stood, she had a break from her work at the hospital she told me, and then we talked a little, and she asked me to be nice to you, because you hadn't had it easy eighter. I explained all about the hijacking to her, and she was so understanding and nice, when she had to go back to work, she hugged me and left. That was probably the last time I spoke to her…" his voice trailed off. So even Peeta had had a nice time with Prim. I wasn't surprised, that sounded like Prim, trying to be nice to him. She was, and is, an angel. When I looked at Peeta his eyes had some tears in them, and so had mine, he remembered her in a good way even if they really didn't know each other. I kissed Peeta, lightly at his mouth.

"Thank you Prim. For being the best person who has ever walked on this earth." I said with a little smile.
