Mystery Voice

This story is not connected to Fire Daisies or Panem High.
The songs in this story are not really sung or written by Katniss, but just let it go. She writes them in this story.
Katniss' POV
I thought he'd pull out of it, but his arms lingered.
"Why, Katniss?" he whispered in my ear.
Then he got up.
"I'm sorry." he looked away and turned to leave. I couldn't bear to look at him anymore.
I turned to shift my gaze out the window, so Peeta wouldn't see that I was silently heaving sobs.
"Katniss? We could still be friends, right?" Peeta asked.
"Just friends." I whispered the foreign term under my breath.
"Just friends," I repeated.
"No." I said loud enough for Peeta to hear. "No. Goodbye, Peeta."
I heard the door close and soon went into another daily crying session.
Peeta's POV
She was crying. I knew it.
But she didn't want to be friends.
And I'm not ready to let go of her, I've noticed.
And she loves me.
I'm sure of that.
I sat on my bed and stared at a wall blankly, while Finnick hurled all of his body weight at my door. I locked it.
I decided to go back to Katniss and sort things out, but the minute I opened my door, Finnick came crashing into me, knocking me onto the floor.
"Oh, shit. Sorry, man." Finnick got up and offered a hand. "Where ya going?"
"None of your business."
"I'll take that as a going-to-katniss then."
I rolled my eyes. "I'll be back."
HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG
My fist hovered over her door.
Should I knock?
Should I get over her?
I was about to knock when I heard singing.
Silky, smooth, beautiful singing.
It hit me that Katniss was singing.
Her voice was unusually un-raspy, and very clear. I could feel her pain and anguish in her voice as she sang.
I recorded the song on my phone. It was beautiful.
I had a feeling it was about me.
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
The waking up is the hardest part .
You roll outta bed and down on your knees,
And for the moment you can hardly breathe.
Wondering was he really here?
Is he standing in my room?
No he's not, 'cause he's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
He takes you in with your crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No he can't, 'cause he's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh
Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Baby won't you get them if i did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
Katniss still loves me.
Katniss' POV
I sat on the windowsill and leaned against the pane. I was tired of just crying and thinking about Peeta all day. I was tired of not being able to sleep and not eating. I was tired of myself not speaking up to Peeta.
I was tired of saying all the wrong things.
So I sang this song that I never even wrote, but the words came out naturally.
I wrote it down in my songbook afterwards, and slipped into my bed, even though it was nowhere near my usual bedtime, and I didn't even have dinner yet.
But today, I was really tired, so I went to sleep dreaming of my gone Peeta.
I was dreaming with a broken heart.
HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG HG
I woke up the next morning to my phone ringing, and I haven't gotten any calls or messages in a while. So I rolled out of bed and got the message.
Unknown Number: Go on Youtube. Some really good videos on the most viewed today.
I didn't have anything to do, so I went on it even though I had no idea who this was coming from.
There it was.
The top-viewed video of the last two days.
