PEETA POV
I hear her voice as it pulls away from me. She loves me, she loves me. I press my fingers against my lips; I can still feel hers against mine. I have loved her as long as I can remember and I never dreamed she returned those feelings. I love her now, more than ever. But it's too late for that now. I am going to die. I have decided that the best way to go is to save her sister. I will make sure she lives. Prim has to get back, for Katniss. Katniss needs Prim a lot more than she needs me.
I come out of trance when the door opens again and Gale walks through the door. This is the first stage of my plan. I have to leave Katniss with complete happiness.
"Peeta", Gale nods his head in my direction. I nod back and gesture for him to sit on the single chair which is opposite me.
"She kissed you didn't she Peeta?" Gale comes out with after an awkward second of silence.
"What makes you think that?" I feel like that moment should stay between Katniss and me, it was just for us. Special.
"Her hair was undone, lips swollen, blushing like mad…" I realise how obvious it must have been for her to come out of my visiting room looking like that.
I notice Gale looks sad. I know that he loves her. I was unsure before, but now I am certain. He looked jealous.
"I'm sorry Gale, I know you love her", I tell him the best way I can.
Gale speaks after another moment's silence. "I'm okay with you two, its fine. I mean I know you've loved her for longer than I have Mellark…."
I interrupt him. "That's why I called you in here Gale. I want you to have her"
"What?" He seems confused.
"I am going to get Prim home for her, even if it means my certain death. I want her to be the happiest she can be."
Gale looks at me understanding. He wants her to be happy too, I know he does.
"Gale, when I die, be there for her. She'll fall for you eventually, you'll see."
Gale shakes my hand. "You're better for her than me Mellark. I would have volunteered if I could to keep her safe."
I speak the only words I can think of. "Then maybe we are not so different Hawthorne"
A peacekeeper comes in then. Gale claps my hand for the second time while we both stand up.
"Thankyou Peeta", and then he walks out.
PRIM POV
I am scared. So, so scared. Katniss and my mother walk in then. I fall into the embrace of Katniss. Mother stands back a little way, ever since she came back to us she still stayed at the edge of the family. I accepted her apology, but Katniss will always be wary of her.
"It's okay little duck", Katniss rubs my back. I notice that her hair has come out of her intricate braids. I wonder how that happened. I cry into her shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.
I suddenly have a thought. "Katniss, I want to have one thing from our district. They let you have one item, don't they?" I say this so hopefully. I think I am right, but sometimes they don't have anything, it all came on too suddenly for them to prepare.
Katniss looks at me sadly. "Little duck, I don't have anything", she says this so regretfully. I feel sorrier for her than I do for myself.
"It's okay", I tell her. I pull away and sit on her chair. Her arm drapes around my small frame.
"I have something for you", pipes up a voice from the back of the room.
KATNISS POV
My mother stands up and sits on the other side of Prim as she fishes in the pocket of her dress.
My mother has ignored us for two years before, and now she is standing by as Prim goes to her time in the arena. What can our mother possibly give Prim?
I am truly startled when our mother pulls out a pin. A decorative one. It has a MockingJay on it, but the bird is coming out of jewelled flowers. I look closer and realize the jewels are in the shape of Primroses. The ones for which Prim is named.
"Where did you get that?" I ask her.
"Your father and I bought 2 MockingJay pins when Prim was born", our mother looks down at the pin and strokes the texture between her fingers. "He spent days adding Primroses to one and Katniss flowers to the other".
Our mother never talks about our father. She pins the MockingJay onto prims white shirt and we embrace each other. We sob for several minutes. All too soon the peacekeeper comes in to take us away. I barely notice as she hugs me tight and sobs into my chest. I don't even notice when I say, "Trust Peeta", as I am pulled out of the room….
