Katniss POV

It's been three months since Peeta and I broke up. But to tell the truth, it's felt like three years. When Peeta is busy having fun with her, and not looking, I steal small glances at him. I miss him so much. But it still doesn't make sense to me that I would still love someone who cheated on me.

Cato has been extremely helpful and friendly lately, and I think he might like me. Which of course, gets me killer looks from Clove, and every other girl who has an obsession over Cato. I don't feel that way about him, though: for all I care, they can have him.

Peeta has been trying to maintain a friendship between us, while although it's not ideally satisfying, at least I still have some sort of friendly connection with him. It seems like I can never get him alone. Delly is always there whenever we hang out, and it's super annoying. She's being overly protective of Peeta, but she should know I would never try to get Peeta back when they're still together. I may not be the best person ever, but I'm not so evil as to steal someone else's boyfriend. Personally, I think Peeta should dump her, because she's being a...well, my mother told me not to use words like that. How could he possibly be happy with that? I'm not sure I know Peeta as well as I thought I did, or maybe he's just not seeing how his...girlfriend is acting. But how could he not?

Peeta POV

Today, Delly and I celebrate our two months together as a couple at my house. But she's changed a lot over these past two months. She's been really clingy, and her clothing choices have been the same. I try to ignore it, but when she's constantly hanging around me, it's kind of hard to.

Delly starts kissing me, and after a minute she looks up at me and smiles. "Happy anniversary, babe."

"Happy anniversary, Delly." The truth is, I've been wanting to break up with Delly for about a week, now. But I can't today. I'm not going to be so cruel as to break up with her on our two month anniversary.

She starts kissing me again, only much more passionately than the last time, surprising me. She eventually is on top of me, and I have to push her off of me. "Delly, stop, please."

She starts to use her innocent whiny voice. "But Peet-"
"No, Delly. Stop." I take a deep breath, and do something I never thought I would do today. "Delly, I think it would be the best for both of us if...we broke up. I'm sorry, but I just don't think it's working out." Whoops. Biggest mistake I made that day.

"WHAT? Why?! I think it's working out fine. I've just made your life better, and happier. You can't break up with me! I love you, Peeta!"

"Delly, leave, please."

"Fine, but you'll regret breaking up with me, Peeta Mellark!" she closes the door, and I start doubling over in laughter. Instead of yelling my name, it came out more like a squeak. Not very intimidating, if you ask me.

I lay down on the couch, and I think of how much more free I feel. Then it hits me: Katniss. I should go to Katniss. But before I do, I think I should make some cheese buns. She always did have a soft spot for those. I'll take them to her on Christmas, which happens to be in a couple days. I'm shaking with excitement. I only hope she'll take me back.

Again, I know that this chapter is short.
