HA! I did update again today! So in my opinion, this chapter doesn't really have a point but I felt like I needed it. Don't worry, things will pick up in chapter 15!
Katniss's POV:
The weekend goes by fast, surprisingly and before you know it, it's 2 days before the wedding. Every day I miss Peeta and Dahlia even more. Gale and I have been putting together wedding details and we are almost done. We invited the Finnick and Annie, Prim and my mother, and Gale's family.
A/N: Just to let you know, Gale's family didn't die in the bombing of district 12!
Everyone we invited is coming except Prim and my Mother. I was surprised by this when they declined it. And they haven't told me why. I wonder if I will ever see them again. It doesn't really matter if they come to the wedding or not because, well, I'm not actually marrying him. When planning the wedding, I tried to pick options that were completely different than what Peeta and I had.
I remember our wedding and how it was interrupted by Snow and Coin. But even if they didn't come, Gale did not try to stop the wedding. Why? Did he have this plan that whole time?
My thoughts are interrupted when I feel Gale's lips connect with mine. I have no choice but to kiss him back. I truly hate it when he does this. It's nothing like the kisses Peeta gives me.
"Good morning," he says when we finally break free.
"Good morning," I say back. It's kind of hard to act like you love someone when you really hate them.
"Wow, 2 days till we get married," He says "We can finally be married and happy together." Yeah, sure, like that's ever going to happen. "So, I am going to be with Finnick most of the day to go over some wedding information. Why don't you spend the day with Annie?" He asks. I would love to spend the day with Annie rather than with him.
"Okay," I say while I get up to go to the bathroom. I take a shower and dress in a plain shirt and pants. Then I do my signature hair braid and walk out of the bathroom to find the room empty. That's when smell something burning from downstairs. I rush down to see where the smell is coming from and that's when I see Gale trying to make cheese buns. I walk into the kitchen to see the tray of cheese buns completely burnt.
"Sorry Katniss, I tried to make your favorite but I'm not that good of a cook." He says. Now I have to start acting. I reach up and kiss his cheek as a 'thank you for trying'
"Do you want to go to the bakery, around the corner?" He asks me and I nod my head. Gale goes upstairs to change and I get my coat and shoes on. When we are finally ready, we walk to the bakery and I get my cheese buns. As I eat my cheese buns, we walk to Annie and Finnick's house.
Annie answers the door and she welcomes us in. Finnick meets Gale in the living room and Annie and I set out to have some girl time.
A/N: It's the next day in Peeta's POV. Just to clear things up, Katniss's POV in during Monday and Peeta's POV is during Tuesday!
Now back to the story...
Peeta's POV:
I wake up to Dahlia's squeal and I see her next to me. She has been sleeping in my arms for the weekend. Since there is nothing to do till Tuesday- which is today-I have to spending my free time with Dahlia. We are going to District 4 tonight and I can finally have Katniss back tomorrow.
Today I am taking Dahlia to Prim and Katniss's Mother for her to stay while I'm in District 4. They had to decline the wedding invitation for it. I just hope Gale doesn't suspect anything.
I put Dahlia in her play pen and I get dressed in the bathroom. Then I grab a bag and start to pack her things. I write a note explaining everything that she needs and I stick it in the bag. Then I start to pack my things in a separate bag. Just fresh clothes and my train ticket to 4. Then I walk downstairs with Dahlia in my arms and her back on my shoulder. Haymitch is sleeping on the couch and the Capitol people are walking through the door. They sleep at Haymitch's house. There isn't enough room for them to sleep in my house so they go over to Haymitch's. I feed Dahlia some breakfast and then about 10:00 I go over to the Everdeen's house to drop off her.
Prim opens the door and when she seems me, a smile appears on her face. She knows about everything that's going on. Katniss once told me that she's very mature for her age and that we could tell her anything. And besides, she's like a little sister to me.
"Peeta!" she squeals.
"Hi Prim," I say and she ushers me into the house. I walk into the kitchen to see Mrs. Everdeen.
"Hello Peeta," she says soothingly.
"Hello Mrs. Everdeen, I'm just here to drop off Dahlia," I say and Prim takes that bag off my shoulder.
"Okay, Thank you," She says but continues. "Be careful," She tells me and hugs me.
"I will. I'm going to get Katniss back, don't you worry," I tell her and she nods her head. Then I turn my attention to Dahlia. "Bye- Bye Dahlia! I love you!" I tell her and I kiss her cheek. Then Prim takes her from my arms and I say my good byes. I walk back to my house to have lunch. I see that everyone else is ready to go to 4. So I bring my bag down and set it with everyone else'. I look at the computer to see the blinking light moving but it's not going very fast. Haymitch sees my confusion and answers the question in my head.
"She's with Annie. Gale, for some reason, is allowing Katniss to roam 4 with Annie. Somehow he seems to trust that she won't run off. And personally, I'm surprised she hasn't tried again yet." He says. I smile at this. I'm surprised too. Knowing Katniss, she would try every second to escape Gale. But she hasn't. I'm also surprised that she hasn't given up on the plan.
The rest of the afternoon goes by slowly. We just go over the plan again because no one can mess up. Finally it's time to leave. I pick up my bag and we all go to the train station. The train is 15 minutes late but it comes eventually. I board the train with one thought on my mind. I'm coming, Katniss.
Peeta to the rescue! Finally! lol! Chapter 15 will be up soon! Hopefully tomorrow! (Depends on how many reviews I get ;)
