Engraved in your Heart

Chapter 10: Just a kiss on your lips in the moon light

"You love me, real or not real?"

By 3am the next morning the group and I slowly walked back to the houses. Prim and Rory kissed one last time and went into the separate victor houses, and soon everyone else followed, except Peeta and I. "Well goodnight Katniss…" Peeta don't leave! I blurted out before I could think. "What is it Katniss?" His tone was soft and gentle like I used to remember. I…I can't be alone… "What do you mean?" The nightmares never went away… "You've spent years with this and you never got help?" I didn't need it I had Jacey. She never stays in her own room because I don't let her leave me… "And what am I soused to do?" Stay with me Peeta! Please? "We can't the wedding parties have to stay separated." Don't feed me this bull shit Peeta! I watched him freeze after the words left my mouth; I am scared and alone! I need you Peeta! Is that what you want to hear! I need you back in my life! I want you again! Be part of this life, be a part of Jacey's life! I'm tired of playing these mind games where you want me then don't! I…I meant it when I told you I love you… Before I could finish I felt my back against the hard dirt of the path ways to the house and I looked up to see Peeta over me. Then he kissed me again and again and again and I kissed him back. I was getting lost in my own world, and then Johanna had to ruin it. We were hit by stream of water. "Do you mind? Some of us are trying to sleep!" Gale and Johanna yelled in unison. "You're just jealous" Peeta yells back "Of what?" responded Gale "That after all this time I'm the one who still has her!" I heard the window that Johanna was using slam shut, then Gale's window as well. I quickly pushed Peeta off me and stood up. What is the matter with you! You horrible, selfish, bitch! "Katniss… I-" Save it! I may have lied, and run off and made mistakes but I don't rub it in everyone's face; I haven't changed Peeta you have. Without looking back I ran into the house and locked the door behind me, I sank to the floor and began to cry.

I began to walk up to my room when I heard Johanna and Gale talking. He must have come through the back door.

"It's always her isn't it? Every time Gale it comes back to you loving her, she has everything! She took the family that was supposed to be ours! I couldn't give you kids but she offered, Jacey was supposed to be ours! But she took her back then chose to live with us and rub it in my face! Then we show u here and that stupid blond reminds me of everything! That I'm not the one you wanted I never gave you anything!" "`Johanna you`re being stupid" "Am I Gale? Really?"

I couldn't stand to hear any more so I left and went to my room. But I didn't sleep… I thought… I thought long and hard about everything… then I decided Jacey needed to know… who her father really is.
