Peeta POV:

I look out the window of the bakery and see Katniss walking by with Gale. I watch as they talk and laugh and my hands automatically clench into fists. I force myself to relax. At least she looks happy, as if she is moving on from me. I try to tell myself that is good but a wave of jealousy washes over me. I hat the fact that Gale is there for her while I can't be. I know I'm the one who stopped our friendship but I couldn't risk hurting her any more. Every time I do something that hurts her I feel like a monster. But now I wonder if that might be better than the dead, empty feeling I have when I'm not around her. I am kneading bread dough on the table when I hear a scream. I would know that voice anywhere no matter how long its been since I've head it. Katniss.

I take off out the front door of the bakery trying to find her. The screams are coming out from around the side of the bakery. As I run around the side the screams are stifled as if someone forced her to stop. I round the corner into a valley and see a horrible scene unfolding in front of me. Gale is holding Katniss against the wall. One hand over her mouth and the other trying to unbuckle his pants. My vision fills with red and all thoughts of staying away from her are melted away by my burning need to protect her.

I lunge at Gale from behind and yank him off of Katniss. I pin him to the ground and throw punch after punch. I feel his nose break under my fist and there is blood coming out of his mouth but I don't care. I feel like I am on tracker jacker venom again, so filled with strength and anger I can't control myself. All I hear is Gale's cries of pain and Katniss's whimpers behind me. I finally calm down enough to see that I have knocked Gale out. I stand up and kick his limp form aside before running to Katniss. She is on the ground sobbing, eyes still closed. I pick her up off the ground and press my lips to hers. I can taste the tears that are still streaming down her cheeks.

We come up for air and that's when she sees exactly who I am, "Peeta, " She whispers so softly I can barely hear her. Then she starts sobbing.

I cradle her in my arms and carry her through the bakery and up to my room where I lay her gently on my bed. Her eyes are red and she is still sobbing and shivering uncontrollably. The sight of it causes tears to pool into my eyes.

This is all my fault, "I'm so sorry" I whisper to her.

She looks up at me, "For what? You saved me from...him."

"For leaving you and hurting you enough that you let him back into your life. I'll never leave you again." I say, stroking her hair gently.

A soft smile forms on her face and she closes her eyes, "Stay with me?" she asks.

"Always," I say with a smile. I curl up beside her and pull her close. I can feel her drifting up already but I say one more thing, "I love you."

At that moment I know it's true. I love Katniss Everdeen. President Snow failed. I got back to her. With that thought I fall asleep holding Katniss in my arms.

Katniss POV

When I wake up in the morning I am still curled up in Peeta's arms. I gently shake him and when he opens his eyes he smiles softly at me and pulls me down for a kiss. I laugh and push him away.

"Come on," I say, "Let''s go get some breakfast."

We go downstairs to he bakery, "What do you want?" Peeta asks, " We have muffins or-"

"Cheese buns," I say quickly. It's been too long since I've had them.

Peeta chuckles, "Okay." He walks into the kitchen and comes back with a plate of cheese buns.

"So," I say, digging into the cheese buns,"I guess the whole not speaking thing is over now."

He laughs softly, "I guess so," then he gets serious, "You don't know how scared I was when I heard you screaming last night."

I look down at my plate, suddenly I'm not hungry anymore, "Where is Gale?" I ask, "What did you do to him?"

"I left him in the alley," Peeta says.

"Thank you," I say, "If it weren't for you he would've-"

"Don't say it," Peeta says gently, "It's over now and you can bet I'm going to make sure he doesn't touch you again."

I smile. I'm so glad I have my Peeta back.

That chapter was a little short but I really liked writing it :) As usual here are review responses:
