Chapter 14:

Peeta POV:

It had only been a few minutes after Luke, Annie and little Finn left to go back to our house. Katniss never came with Prim, It worried me. Was there something wrong with Prim, or Katniss? Whatever it was I figured it was probably best if I don't bother them. Let them talk it out with each other they needed that.

Finn had so much fun that I can tell… he made his first cake, and decorated it. While he put piles of icing on it, still… he enjoyed himself, and that's really all that mattered. Annie was content in watching her son, and Luke seemed alittle out there, probably missing home. I don't blame him. When me and Katniss went on the victory tour, I missed home dearly, what I would have done to hold a frosting bag.

A knock came on the front door of the bakery. I walked over in my flour covered apron and opened the door. It was Rory.

`Peeta… I need your help." I looked at his grey Seam eyes which reminded me of Katniss, before the games. They were filled with sadness, and despair, like Rory's right now.

"Come in." He walked in, and grabbed a seat at the table, by the counter.

"I am sorry to bother you Peeta, but I need help. I am so lost, and I feel like my whole world might come crashing down on me." Confused? I wasn't. I have been through many of the same feelings, most of them during the last 3 years.

"You can always come to me Rory. What is this about? Prim?"

He sighed and told me everything that had happened with Prim. He was verging on crying when he talked about this morning. This, everything he was talking about is bringing back memories, nightmares, I once had too.

He loves her so much, and she is confused with her feelings.

"Rory. You have to wait…" I hated waiting for her, for Katniss. I hated knowing I could lose her. I had nightmares about her lying hopelessly before me, and there was nothing I could do to save her. Rory is not only in the same situation as me, but Gale aswell.

I was shocked when she picked me over him. I mean, he got to spend so much time with her, and he had this connection with her, one I would have killed for. I don't think I ever hated Gale. Envied him, Yes. But hated? Never.

The hazy flashback in Tigris's cellar comes back to me:

"No, you won her over. Gave up everything for her. Maybe that's the only way to convince her you love her." He paused, "I should have volunteered to take your place in the first Games. Protected her then."

Rory's grey eyes were filled with tears, and sadness, he reminded me of me.

"Rory, I know how you feel, I know you love her, so much. You would probably do anything to make her happy, right? Including settling for what makes her happy?" I saw him wince, but he nodded. A love triangle: The one person who you love so much, and who you would do anything for, who might love someone else. Might decide to love another person, the pain…is unbearable. But it doesn't matter how heartbroken you would be. You just want what makes her happy, even if it means having your heart ripped to shreds.

Gales words ran through my mind again. "Gave up everything for her. Maybe that's the only way to convince her you love her."

I loved Katniss, even though I wanted to be with her, I saw that she was happy with Gale. I saw that if she picked him over me, she would be happy. If she was happy, then I would be happy.

"Rory, I think the only thing you can do now is to protect her. Give up everything, for her, you know, to show her how much you love her. That with whatever decision she makes, you will be happy for her.

Prim POV:

The conversation with Katniss was brutal, "Prim. Pick whoever you can't live without."

It felt too soon, I am only 15, I am too young to have to go through this. Two guys. I don't know who to pick. Who I love? Not yet…

The next few days are gone uneventful. Luke, Annie, and Finn visited the Lake with Katniss. Peeta had to catch up on Bakery stuff, and I had things to do in the apothecary. Plus I really didn't feel like going to the lake, I needed some time to think about what was going on, to sort some things out.

I had never mentioned Rory to Luke. But Luke wasn't stupid. He was smarter than that. He knew something was wrong with me. Everyone did. I felt sick, and depressed. After dinner, Luke grabbed my arm, "Prim, will you, walk with me?"

I nodded, "Okay."

Luke POV:

I don't know what was wrong. The cheery, sweet girl I had met only a week ago, had disappeared and changed into this saddened woman. We walked down the gravel pathway in complete silence. I was going to say something, it would be best if I told her.

"Prim… I-" she turned around to stare into my eyes, they were distraught and troubled. I felt my heartbeat increase; I wasn't like this with girls. I didn't know that I could feel like this towards another. Or how captivating this feeling is. This feeling is exhilarating.

"Prim, I love you."

Her ears perked up, and she just looked up at me, shocked at my realization. I didn't give her time to say anything. I moved towards her, and pressed my lips against hers.

So? Review pleasee. :)
