Hey! So I know you have been waiting for the next chapter so here it is! Sorry for that cliffhanger. I had to have at lease one! In my opinion, this is my favorite chapter! So start reading!

Peeta's POV:

The doctors have kept me in the hospital after my second day training. I am allowed to go to breakfast but then I have to come right back to the hospital. By the time I get to there, everyone is at training so I eat by myself. They have been doing tests on me and one of them included tracker jacker venom and a TV. This freaked me out because it reminded me way too much of what the Capitol did. Whatever the doctors have been doing, it is changing me. I often scream for Katniss, hoping that she will come, but she never does. When I open my eyes, all the doctors are back and are pricking me with needles. By now, I'm used to this. There is nothing to do but think and wince every once in a while. Everything is becoming clear and the doctor was right. Katniss didn't try to kill me and it was the Capitol who bombed district 12. Katniss… I tried to punch her! How could I? I love her so much. I need to have her in my arms this second. I can't bear being apart any more. After everything, I need Katniss.

I am not strapped down, so I start to get up but the doctors push me back down. "Where is Katniss?" The doctors stop everything and just look at me. No one says anything. So I ask again more demanding. "Where is Katniss?" Once again, no one answers. By now, I'm yelling. "WHERE IS KATNISS?" The doctors start to back up, afraid that I might lose control. I rip all the IVs and tubs out of my arm and it hurts but I have to get to Katniss. I get out of bed and the doctors are trying to get me back. I am outnumbered but I push them to the ground and I run out of the room. I look around, trying to find a way out, to get to Katniss and then I see her. She's at the end of the hallway looking startled and scared. "KATNISS!" I yell and I run to her, knowing that I'm so close to having her in my arms again, I run even faster. But the thing that surprised me the most is that she is stepping back and then she breaks into a run. "KATNISS!" I call to her again, but she continues to run and right now, we are out of the hospital in a complete empty hallway. I can't let her go. Not now! But then I know why she' running away from me. She thinks that I am trying to kill her, that I'm still hijacked! But I'm not! She keeps running but then she trips over something and falls hard to the ground. She tries to get up but it's too late. By the time she is on her feet, I have her hand.

"NO! PEETA! PLEASE!" She screams. I pull her closer to me and I hold her in my arms. She struggles to get free. Until she realizes that I am holding her, not trying to kill her.

"Katniss! It's ok! It's ok! It's me! I promise! I'm not going to hurt you! It's ok!" She has stopped struggling and crying and looks into my eyes and I look into her eyes that reads the emotion scared and confusion. By now, the doctors have caught up and realized that I'm not a threat so they just watch us. "Oh Katniss..." I say in a hushed tone. "I love you and… I… I would never hurt you" She just looks into my eyes. And there is a long silence before she speaks.

Through her tears, she manages to say "Peeta… I… oh Peeta." And she lays her head on my shoulder and sobs. We just stand there while I hold her in my arms, comforting her. After a while she stops crying and looks at me again. She is looking at all the cuts and bruises that the Capitol gave me. "Peeta… " she says sweeping my hair out of my eyes. "they tortured you…because of me… I'm so sorry Peeta, I'm so sorry!" And tears flood her eyes again.

"Shhhh. It's not your fault. I'm ok. Really. I'm sorry that I let them twist my mind like that. I would never think that you were a mutt." I tell her reassuringly.

"You couldn't help it! It's the Capitol. I knew you didn't mean it, but I let it get to my head." I plant a kiss on her lips and we walk back together into the hospital. The doctors lead us to a different room. This room is more comfortable. When the doctors tell me to lie down on the bed, I hesitate. I don't want to leave Katniss's side but once I lay down, she stays close to me. I hold out my hand and she takes it.

"We just want to keep you here over night, just to make sure your cuts and bruises are alright." The doctor says.

"Okay" I reply uncaringly. As long as I am with Katniss, I don't care where I am.

"Thank you" Katniss weakly says with her eyes still puffy. The doctor just smiles and walks out leaving Katniss and I alone.

"I missed you Katniss. I was always thinking about you." I say.

"Me too Peeta, I just couldn't stand being without you" She explains. She crawls into bed with me and we fall asleep together. It feels so good to have Katniss in my arms again. I remember that I love her. I will never let her go. During the night, she has her usual nightmares. She wakes up screaming and kicking. While I try to calm her down, I let out a moan. When Katniss was struggling to break free of her nightmare, she kicked me. I know she didn't do this on purpose, but the venom comes back and I grip the side of the bed. I try to push out the thought that Katniss is a mutt. She's not a mutt. I love her.

I say it over and over until the flashback is gone. I finally I let of the side of my bed and realize that Katniss is brushing my hair out of my face and trying to calm me down. She still has tears in her eyes. I wrap my arms around her again. She digs her face into my shoulder and sobs.

"Shhh… it's okay Katniss, I'm here, you're here, everything is okay." I comfort her. She finally lifts her head from my shoulder and looks at me.

"I missed being able to comfort you." I say, brushing her hair out of her face like she did to me. "I love you." I have been longing to say those words to her.

"I love you too, Peeta," she replies. She smiles and brings herself closer to me. She then pecks my cheek with a kiss and I kiss her back. "Stay with me" she whisphers. I reply the one and only answer to that.

"Always."
