Hey guys. It's me again with a new chapter of What if I loved you. I decided to change my user name because I want to write fanfics from other books than just the Hunger Games. I would like to write a Divergent fanfic, but at the moment I'm busy with this story so it will take a while before I start that one. Thanks for all the new followers, favorites and reviews, I'm glad you're enjoying my story. I enjoy writing it too. Enjoy chapter 5.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games.

Previously:

Haymitch makes a deal with Peeta and Katniss about the Games and catches them kissing.

Chapter 5

When we arrive at Peeta's room which is next to my room, Peeta pushes me against the wall and plants his lips on mine. I kiss back but after about a minute I can hear Haymitch not to happy asking 'What are you guys doing?' We let go of eachother, both with a shocked face and not knowing what to say. 'Now, what's going on here?' Haymitch asks again and I realize he's not completely sober. Well, that's not something new. Peeta's the first to open his mouth. 'We're a couple and with the Games coming up, we want to join our last weeks together. We were just kissing.' Out of nowhere Haymitch starts to laugh. Peeta and I look at eachother a bit awkwardly and all out of the sudden we start to laugh too. However I almost never smile it feels good to laugh and let all the tension out even I have no clue what's so funny. (A/N: maybe Katniss is not very Katniss here, but I liked to write it this way and I believe that Peeta can make Katniss softer and making her smile)

After a few minutes Haymitch stops laughing and somehow I get the idea he doesn't know where he is but he says: 'So you're together. That's not going to be easy in the Games but maybe we can get some advantage out of it. If Panem knows about this, they will feel sorry for you and that means sponsors and sponsors means you might not die. I look with a shocked expression on my face at Haymitch. Using our relationship so people will pity us? I hate it when people pity you. It's like they are saying: you are weak. Haymitch sees I'm not too happy with the idea and he begins to explain: 'If you are in the arena, you may be starving or freezing from the cold. If Panem likes you, they will pay money for almost anything: medicines, food, you name it and they will pay for it. When we let them know you two are a couple they will feel sorry because one is going to die and the other stays behind of the both of you are going to die. They will pay money because they want you to win. Sponsors may be the difference between surviving or dying.' Peeta nods understanding and I know Haymitch is right but it still feels wrong. Peeta looks at me and asks 'You're okay with it?''Actually? No it feels just wrong to use our relationship for something stupid like the Games just to survive them. But I know you're right Haymitch. I can't let my mother and Prim stay behind. Who else would take care of them?' Peeta says: 'I'm not too happy about it either but this may be our only chance to survive. Haymitch nods and says: 'Listen. Later this day we will arrive in the Capitol and you will meet your stylists. They will be saying and doing things you may not like but you do as they say. It's their job to present you at your best so you just need to trust them. I sigh. Most of the stylists are quite dumb and it's not hard to notice they're from the Capitol. Crazy hair, crazy make up, crazy clothes and their voices sound weird. And I've got to listen to them without complaining? That's maybe going to be harder than trying to survive in the arena but Haymitch is right and Peeta will be there to calm me down when I feel like I want to strangle something or more likely someone. 'All right. I'm not good at listening to people I don't like without complaining but I will try my best.' Haymitch nods approvingly.

This was chapter 5. Maybe not my best ending but I didn't know another way to end this chapter and I wanted to give you guys an update. I hope you enjoyed it and I'll try to update soon. In about five weeks I will have holiday so then I will probably have plenty time to write. Please let me know what you guys think or some ideas for the story with a review or PM.
