Hi!

I'm trying to update more often, but it's not going too good… :/

Now I'd be so happy if you could check out my other story 'Happily ever after'. It's an older project I have been working on, but it's not half as good as this one… It sucks in the beginning, but it gets better! I would appreciate it a lot if you'd check it out :D

I don't know what more to say, right now it's 3am here, so I don't know if this is so good… x'D

I woke up in Peetas protective arms with a smile on my lips. Tonight something had happened, I had to admit that. I could finally say to myself that I loved Peeta. It would still take some time before I would be able to say it out loud, but hopefully, it would happen sooner or later. I turned around and leaned my head against Peetas chest, he was warm and he smelled good. He mumbled something in his sleep; it sounded like he said my name.

I couldn't help but smile, I wanted to stay here forever with him, even if I knew I couldn't. He mumbled something more before he slowly opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Good morning." He said and looked a little surprised that I was lying so close to him. He probably thought that I was regretting the kisses from last night.

"Good morning." I said with a smile. He was still looking at me like he was expecting me to get up and walk away. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing… it's just… you don't feel bad for the kisses last night, do you?" he said, I rolled my eyes at him.

"Of course I don't. Then I wouldn't be here right now…" I smiled at him.

"Good." We were just lying in bed for a while, he was picking with my hair and I was just staring into the wall. None of us said anything in a long while, but at last I broke the silence.

"Peeta?" I said.

"Hm?" he asked.

"When do you have to go the bakery?" I asked. I didn't want him to leave. I wanted to stay here all day.

"Around eleven, so we have to get up after an hour." He said and I sighed.

"I don't want you to leave." I said. When I realized I had actually said that out loud I blushed. He smiled at me.

"You are so beautiful when you blush." He said. "You are always beautiful." That made me blush even more, he just smiled. We were silent again for a few minutes, I was just thinking.

"Peeta… when is your birthday?" I asked him, it was a little awkward to ask, but he had never told me.

"12th of November." He answered.

"But that's in two weeks! Why didn't you told me that your birthday is coming up so soon?" I asked him and looked at him.

"I didn't think it was so important, I don't care about my birthday really…" he answered.

"Okay, but we will still do something extra; maybe invite Haymitch over for dinner or something…" I said, his face lighted up and he smiled at me. "What now?" I asked him, because I didn't think it was because we maybe would have Haymitch come over that he got that happy.

"That means you'll stay with me." he said and I smiled at him.

"Of course I will. I will never lose you again. I will always stay with you." I said with a smile. Then I leaned in for a kiss that he happily answered. It was so natural, we belonged together, and I couldn't understand why I ever left him.

"If he is yours, I respect that, I don't love him, I would never try to separate you." I heard a voice behind me. I had followed Peeta to the bakery and then I had kissed him before I left. I could never live without him. "Of course you don't love him, you are just playing with his feelings again." The voice continued. I slowly turned around. Karen.

"Karen, go home." I said. I didn't say it to be mean, but I was in a good mood, and if she would make me angry today I maybe would beat her up. The old Katniss was back, the girl on fire was back.

"No! You promised that you didn't try to separate me and Peeta! You promised that you didn't love him!" she screamed.

"I didn't, but I do now." I said and started to feel annoyed.

"What did you do to him?" she asked me.

"I didn't do anything; it isn't my fault that he loves me." I said.

"I won't give up! He will come back to me!" she said.

"Yeah, good luck with that." I said and started to walk away. Even I could hear that I sounded like a bitch, but I didn't care.

"Don't walk away from me your…"

"What were you going to call me?" I snapped and turned back to her.

"Coward." She finished. I almost started laughing, we were around 20 years old, and the worse thing she could call me was a 'coward'.

"Who are you calling a coward?" I asked her calmly.

"You! You aren't even brave enough to stand here talking to me." she said.

"No… that's the problem… Because it's not like I have faced death and wars and hunger games and that stuff…" I said sarcastically.

"You were not alone in that war, I was there too!" she said. "I lived in district 3 back then." She continued. "You just think you are so special because you were the mockingjay, but to tell you the truth, you're not! No one really likes you." She said, I just raised my eyebrows.

"Should we ask Peeta about that thing?" I asked. I absolutely couldn't take her seriously; she was acting like a 10 year old.

"No, he doesn't know anything; he actually is quite stupid, if he wants to be with you." I just nodded at her. About that she was a little right, but I was too egoistic to let him go now… "Why does he even want to be with you? You have to be really good in bed." She continued, and I don't know why, but I blushed. She studied my face when I blushed, then she started laughing. "You are not having sex?! I can't believe it!" she screamed.

"That's none of your business." I hissed but I could feel that I blushed even more.

"Then you don't know how fantastic he is in bed… He is so gentle, but perfect. He knows exactly what to do, and he gives you so much pleasure…" I could hear that she was just trying to make me angry, and she was good at it. Not that I cared, we weren't so long in our relationship yet that we would make love, I really had no idea where we were standing, but still her words affected me.

"Could you be quiet?" I snapped at her.

"Why? Is it too much for you?" she asked with some baby voice.

"No, you're annoying." I said.

"You know what Katniss? I don't like you, I did before, but after you were so mean to me, since you hated me so much that you stole my boyfriend, I hate you! I hate you and everyone you have ever talked to, except Peeta." she said and again she sounded like a child.

"Okay." Was all I said, I didn't really care.

"I even hate your sister. But oh… she's dead, I forgot." She said, and that was the first thing she said that really hurt. I didn't talk about Prim with people, not with anyone, not yet. And the person who was brave enough to insult Prim, I would gladly… take care of. "I hated how everyone thought she was perfect, with her ugly blue eyes, and disgusting blonde hair. I'm glad she died, then she won't be here destroying our lives anymore…" she said.

"How did you even know her?" I asked.

"Propos from 13…" she said, and then I couldn't stop myself anymore, she didn't know me, and she definitely didn't know Prim, she had no right to say these things. She could insult me as much as she wanted to, but say one bad thing about my sister and I would beat the crap out of you. I jumped at her and hit her in the face, she immediately fell to the ground, but soon she was on her feet again. She hit me. It didn't hurt much at all, I was used to Gales hard fists in my face, and compared to him, she was weak.

"You have no idea what my sister was like." I screamed before I pushed her. People started to gather around us, but no one tried to stop us. We were just about 20 meters away from the bakery. Karen took a step towards me and hit me in the face before I could turn away. She got a good hit and I could feel my nose start bleeding. I got so angry that I walked towards her and wrestled her down to the ground; I was sitting on her and hitting her in the face. Suddenly she got grip of a stone and hit me in my left temple. I got dizzy and lost concentration for a few seconds, during those seconds she managed to push me to the ground and start hitting me instead. I could feel my lip start bleeding too and I probably got a black eye, but I fought back and her nose cracked very satisfying when I hit her in the face. I had almost forgotten why I was fighting, but then she said;

"If your slut to sister could see you now she would be really disappointed. A fighter… pfft… can't even take me down, and you're supposed to be so strong." The people who were standing around us was screaming and almost cheering! It didn't happen much in district 12 so this was a big event, but still no one tried to stop us. "You are weak!" she screamed in my face. I spat her in the face. It was a little saliva, but most blood, she got so shocked that I could punch her in the face again and she fell. Again it was me sitting on her. I pressed her arms down to the ground.

"Give up!" I said.

"Never!" she screamed before she started to scream and kick and trash around. Suddenly I felt someone grab me around my waist and lift me away from there, I was trashing around. I wanted to show that bitch that you would never say a bad word about my family without getting punished.

"Peeta! You came to save me!" Karen screamed when I was put down at the ground. I turned around and it was Peeta who had lifted me away. Karen got to her feet and started to stumble against us.

"Why did you lift me away? I could handle her?" I almost yelled at Peeta, he looked a little shocked. He didn't answer me before Karen was standing next to us. She threw her arms around Peetas neck and kissed him. I got so disgusted that I couldn't react first, Peeta was too nice to do much but he carefully tried to push her away. When she did let go she turned towards me.

"I told you he loves me!" she said, but the she was lying at the ground again. I had gotten so angry that I just slapped her in the face. I felt a little proud of myself actually. Now she probably wouldn't say anything bad to me in a while… "Peeta, help me up." she whimpered. Then Peeta grabbed my arm and started to pull me through the people who were now starting to go in different directions. He led me in to the bakery and without hesitation to the kitchen where he made me sit down at a chair while he went to get some tissue paper. When he came back he sat down at another chair across from me. Then he started to clean my face. He was very careful and gentle when he was cleaning away all the blood from my face.

"Katniss, what were you thinking?" he asked me seriously.

"She provoked me. She said that she would get you back..." I said, even if that wasn't the reason I jumped on her.

"And you believed her?" he asked.

"No… Maybe, I don't know…" I said, because I wasn't sure.

"Of course I won't go back to her; I love you, more than anything." He said and I smiled a little, it hurt in my lip, but I didn't care. "Was that it?" he asked and my smile disappeared.

"She also offended Prim." I said quietly, and somehow, it was a relief to say her name out loud again after all these years. I had missed the sound of it. I had missed her. And no one would ever say anything bad about her. I missed her so much, every day. I just wanted to have her here, to hug her and tell her that I love her.

"Did she really say that?" Peeta asked seriously, looking at me. I smiled weakly without humor at him.

"I know it was stupid to beat her for that, but I couldn't control it, no one insults her." I said and Peeta nodded.

"Even I would have hit her if she would have said that to me." he said and dried away a tear that was running down my cheek. He carefully dabbed on my lip with the tissue to get rid of the last blood, then he leaned over to kiss me, and it felt just as good as last night and that morning. I deepened the kiss a little and put my hand at the back of his head, grabbing his hair. I just loved his hair. But soon he leaned out of the kiss. He smiled a little and I smiled back.

"I have missed this." He said and I nodded.

"I have missed you." I said and carefully kissed him again.

"Never leave me again." He whispered.

"Never." I promised.

Yep, so… hope you liked it…

I didn't know what to do with Karen, but I thought a fight would be good, plus that I have to learn to write fight scenes…
