Just letting you know...my next story is going to be another bully story. I'm not ending this right now, but when I do, this is what you can expect, unless i change my mind.

Yes I am still going to write You're Mine sequel, i'm just not doing it right now.

PEETA'S POV

Katniss left for work three days ago and Christmas Eve is in two days, so Dad sent me and Hanna to the store with Rye and Graham and Barley to get stuff for Christmas Eve dinner.

"Wait, we need bread?" Rye asks. "He said bread, right?"

"Why don't you look at the list, dipshit?" Barley laughs.

"Daddy, what's a dipshit?" Hanna asks. I look down at her and shoot a glare to my brothers.

"That is a word that you are not allowed to say, okay?"

"Okay." She says.

"Hey, your Katniss's partner, right?" Graham asks, and we all look up to see Gale Hawthorne.

He looks at us and his eyes widen.

"Wait, I thought Katniss was out of town for work. If she was out of town for work, they doesn't she have her team with her?"

He looks down at his phone, and then runs.

Katniss lied.

But if she isn't out of town for work, where the hell is she?

KATNISS'S POV

"Peeta's calling you." Johanna says.

Peeta doesn't call me when I'm at work. He never has because I told him he could get me killed if he does.

I chew on my bottom lip and explain this to Johanna.

"Maybe he knows." She shrugs. Just answer the phone and put it on speaker. I won't say anything, I swear."

I sigh. "Yeah?" I ask after pressing answer and putting it on speaker.

"Where are you?" he asks.

"I told you I was out of town-"

"You're lying." And it's not Peeta, it's Mom.

"No I'm not lying."

"Yes you are because I ran into Gale. Gale is on your fucking team Katniss. You never go anywhere without your team." Peeta says.

Johanna grabs her white board and starts writing frantically. Tell him you are at Prim's. I'll text her and tell her to cover for you.

"I'm at Prim's."

"Bullshit! Prim's sitting right next to me."

I run my fingers roughly through my hair and mutter "Shit."

"Katniss," Dad begins. "Where are you?"

"I'm…" I look at Jo for help. She writes; hang up! I shake my head.

"Are you art Johanna's? Everyone is here but Johanna."

"No." I lie again.

"Well then where are you?" Finn asks.

"I uh…" Gosh, how am I going to get out of this? "Can you just wait till I get home so I can tell you there?"

"No, I think we kind of deserve to know where you are." Prim says.

"Well I'm not telling."

"Why not?" Peeta asks. "Dammit Katniss, did you leave because you were mad? You are coming back, right?"
"Yes, I'm coming back! I really will be back on Christmas Eve!"

"Good. When you get back, come to your Mom's." He hangs up.

Johanna's phone starts ringing and she snickers. "Your fiancé." She shakes her head and answers it. "Sup Loverboy." She says. She puts it on speaker and I put my phone on silent.
"Is Katniss with you?"

"Brainless you mean?" she asks.

"You know I mean her." Peeta snaps. "Is she with you?"

"No, last time I saw her she was all unconscious and dirty and shit. Why?"

"Because she said she was going out of town for work but she isn't."

"Oh that's fucked up." She says. She looks at me and winks. "Did she tell you where out oftown she was going?"

"She said something about Wisconsin I think."

"Fuck. Want e to go look for her?"

"Nah, she'll be home sometime."

"Is there a reason she could have left?"

"No." then he sighs. "She had been acting a bit weird the day before she left." He says. "She was all jittery and she looked like she was going to get sick and every time she looked at me, she looked like she was going to cry."

Johanna sighs. "Maybe something happened."

"No. She was fine she just…she wasn't acting herself. She seemed nervous."

"Alright, well I've got shit to do, people to shoot. Call me if you hear anything, alright?"

"Yeah, be careful."

"Yeah, yeah, bye." She hangs up.

"How the hell do you lie so well?"

She grins. "Years of practice."

…a…

I almost knock, but I decide not to. I'm home, it's Christmas Eve and I'm terrified of the fight I know is going to happen. Johanna shoves past me and walks into the house. "Guess who lied bitches!" she says. I force myself to come into the house and shut the door.
Everyone glares at us.

"You where with Johanna the whole time?" Peeta asks.

"Yes…" I look down.
"And you couldn't have just said 'hey Peeta I'm going to go to Johanna's for a bit.' could you?"

"No."

"And why not?"

"Because if I told you that, you would want to know why!"

"And you couldn't just tell me why instead of lying and saying it was for work?"

"No, I couldn't lie!"

"Why? You seem perfectly fine at lying to me!" he snaps.

"I lied because I saw scared!" I snap, and tears start welling in my eyes.

"Don't you start crying! This is your fault anyways!" he says.

Johanna backs up and opens her purse and gets out a beer.

"I know it's my fucking fault!"

"Why'd you leave? Tell me right now or…" he thinks. "Or we'll break up."

"NO!" Hanna screams, and Dad picks her up and starts calming her down.

"You want to know why I left?" I ask, and my voice is rising. "I left because three years ago I was told I could never have kids and I was scared to tell you so I lied and told you that you didn't need to use protection because I was on the pill!" I shout. "And then I threw up at work a few days ago and I found out I was pregnant and I panicked and I went to Johanna because she's my best friend and I was scared you were going to hate me!" I'm crying now. "And you don't need to leave because I'm going to leave!"

"You are not leaving." He says.

"Yes I am, and you can't stop me!" I shout.

He blocks the door. "Letting you leave five years ago was the biggest mistake of my life and I'm not going to repeat it."

"Are you forgetting I can kick your ass?" I hiss.

"Which you won't." he says.

"Why won't I?"

"Because you're pregnant and you love me. Am I wrong?" he searches my eyes.

"No." I pick at my fingernails. "I love you but it doesn't mean I'm not pissed at you. And you were going to leave until you found out I was pregnant. Are you staying for me, or for the baby and Hanna, or for all three of us?"

"All three of you, Katniss, gosh, you should know that."

"Well I'm sorry that I didn't know that." I cross my arms.

"If you guys want to go and…" Johanna chews on her bottom lip, fighting a smirk. "Make up…I'll watch the kid."

"Okay." I grab Peeta's wrist and pull him out the door with me.
