Hehe okay so yah it's in Peeta's POV!
I wasn't sure what I was doing as I walked sullenly through the streets of 12. Something had actually made me get up, shower, get dressed, and get out of the house, but I couldn't quite think of what it was. I just woke up with a drive to do something, if you know what I mean.
As I walked slowly through the mostly deserted streets, I looked closely at all the people I passed. A lot of them smiled at me sympathetically, but I just turned away.\
Then I saw her as I came to the outskirts of a few shops. She was standing there, looking every person up and down quickly, as if she was looking for someone, and was afraid she might miss them.
Her eyes found me and widened in surprise. "Hey!" She rushed over.
"Aubrey! Ummm hi… Were you… looking for… me?" I asked, then feeling stupid right away. Of course she wasn't looking for me. Why would she be? I bumped into her once, big deal it isn't like we knew eachother!
She giggled. "You remembered my name?"
I nodded. "Well… yeah it's a pretty name, uncommon too."
She giggled again. "Thank you. Well yeah I was looking for you, because, well I found this where we…. Met." She held out a wallet.
I sighed. "Oh actually that isn't mine, but thanks! I'm sorry you were looking for me."
She didn't look surprised at this at all, in fact she put it in her pocket immediately and said, "So I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime?"
I looked down at his feet and kicked a pebble nervously. I still wasn't over Katniss, but you know, why not? Maybe she would find out and realize how much I meant to her. "That would be awesome. Why don't you… come over my place tomorrow night for dinner?" I asked with a grin.
"Sure! I'd really like that," Aubrey said. "Well I gotta run now, I'm sorry! I would stay and chat but I have plans so… See you then!"
I grinned after her and she skipped away.
I smiled to myself. Maybe things were finally going my way.
I walked slowly back to my house. Maybe I wasn't sure what I was doing, but why shouldn't I find someone I like again? After all, after all these times I had passed Katniss's house, I was pretty sure she wasn't home, and I had a pretty good idea where she was. I knew I shouldn't have ever trusted that lying piece of a word I won't say.
I got home and my phone was ringing. I knew who it was, and I thought about ignoring it, but I decided to answer. After all, I didn't care anymore. "Hello?" I asked, as if it would be anyone else.
"Peeta? Oh my god thank you for answering. I have been calling you for days!" Katniss exclaimed.
The sound of her voice made me want to go rushing back to her, burst into tears, beg her to come back, something, anything, but I had made up my mind. I was done with this game. "Oh, I haven't been home," I said calmly. So, that was a tiny lie, but it didn't hurt anyone.
"You still haven't forgiven me, have you?" Katniss asked.
"It doesn't matter anymore Katniss. We lead separate lives now. Our lives should have gone separate ways as soon as we were done with the Hunger Games, and the rebellion. The people don' need us anymore." I said, my voice almost breaking.
"Peeta, listen. I've been so, so confused, and I just… I don't know if separate lives is what I want." Katniss said quietly.
I was tempted to turn back, I really was. But I couldn't. "Then maybe you should have made up your mind before you destroyed everything we had."
"Peeta I didn't mean… I didn't want…" She was crying now.
I slammed the phone down and sank to the floor. What was I doing? That might have been my last chance, and I blew it. I put my head in my hands and sat there, thinking, but trying to push thoughts out of my head at the same time.
Ok so I will be continuing this story on my own, but most likely not posting because there is no point to it if no one is even reading what I am saying right now.
