Katniss's POV
I wake up and see that I'm in darkness. I remember hitting something cool and going to sleep. I get up and feel that I'm on the floor. I put my hands in front of me and feel nothing. I move around for a while and don't find a thing to place my hands on. Where the hell am I?
I continue to search for anther ten minutes. My hands find a door knob and I sigh in relief. I open the door and see light. Before me stands the laundry room. I don't remember, there, being a room inside the laundry room. I look behind me and make out a switch in the darkness. I turn it on and see that it's an empty small room. It can be used for storing things in there.
I stumble and my side starts to hurt. It feels worse than it did before.
"Shit." I mumble and take slow walks out of the laundry room.
I see that the living room cleaned up. I thought I left it messy?
I walk over to the coffee table and see that my phone is gone. I left it there!
I glance at the clock and see that it's 9:23.
Maybe Johanna got home early. I limp towards the fridge and grab a bag of peas. I put it against my side and sigh. Why is it hurting so much. I lift up my shirt and see a big bruise.
Oh, that's why.
I put the bad of peas back against my side and grab an elastic cord. I talk slow steps to my room and change out of my clothes. I take off my bra and put on a sports bra. I put on some spandex shorts, and tie the bag of peas to my bruised side. I put my hair up in a messy pony tail and walk out of my room slowly.
I need to wash the dishes. I turn on the radio, and walk over to the sink. I hum along to several songs while, scrubbing and drying the dishes.
When I'm done, I turn off the water and walk over to the couch. Johanna should have been home by now. I look down and see that my phone is by a couch pillow. weird.
I grab it and see that I have a lot of text messages. Some phone calls as well.
Peeta: Hi.
Peeta: How's the game?
Peeta: You probably can't hear the phone, I'll talk to you later.
Peeta: Are you still going to want your cheese buns and cupcakes?
Peeta: Kat, I know the game ended. Are you mad?
Peeta: What did I do? I'm sorry...
Peeta: I'm coming over.
All of these messages were hours ago.
Johanna: Hey brainless.
Johanna: Are you seriously mad at me?
Johanna: Fine be that way.
Johanna: Pick up your phone!
Johanna: I'm going home after I beat up Cato. I'll see you later.
This was hours ago as well.
Gale: Hey Catnip, what's up.
Gale: I'll see you later, the boss got up
I sigh and read more texts.
Annie: This is Finnick and Annie, pick up! Peeta's worried sick.
Annie: We're going to knock the door down.
I check my voice mails.
"Katniss this is Peeta, please pick up." I hear Peeta's voice.
"It's Peeta, please Katniss, pick up. I feel horrible." Peeta says in a desperate voice.
"If you don't pick up, I'm coming over." Peeta says.
"Kitty, why aren't you picking up your phone?" Finnick asks.
"Pick up the fucking phone!" Johanna yells.
I press end and dial Peeta's phone number.
"Hello?" He answers before the first ring can end.
"Hi." I say.
"Where were you! We've been looking for you!" He says angry.
"I was asleep in the laundry room." I say.
"You weren't there, we checked." He says coldly.
"Is that her! Put her on speaker!" I hear Johanna yell.
"What the hell!" I hear gale yell at me.
"I was asleep in the fucking laundry room!" I yell.
"No you weren't!" They yell back.
"Yes I fucking was! I stumbled somewhere and fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw that I was in a room!" I yell in anger.
" What fucking room!" Johanna yells.
"There's a room in the laundry area!" I yell.
"No there- oh, there is." She says in realization.
"You see!" I yell." I'll be here, at home, waiting for an apology!"
I click end and turn on the TV.
"... Storm that's just entering Panem, it should leave about six inches or more." The meteorologist says and I hear howls outside.
I sigh and turn off the T.V. I get in my room and shut the door. I grab my I pod and put on my ear phones. I got a new I pod, it's blue. I play games on my I pod while listening to music. Minutes pass and a song comes on, catching my attention. Johanna got me addicted to this song months ago.
I start singing along and continue to play. When I loose I get up and go to the kitchen, still singing.
Wanna fly we can go
Anywhere you wanna go
Jimmy Choos in Italy
Louie V in Tokyo
Something like Pinocchio
I serve myself some soda and sway my hips to the music.
Ok
I can transform ya like a transformer
I turn you from a human to a Carter
Take you of the bench
T-Turn you to a starter
Then I take you home and put you on a charger
T-Then my car transforms to a charter
And we could fly to wherever you ever thought of
I'll take you to where its warmer
Then I gotta rip off your dress like a warm-up
But I'm just getting warmed up
So tell ya man he better get his voltron up
I transform her to a Ducati
Then I transform me to a Bugatti
Cause her form puts me in a trance
I transform smaller and she puts me in her pants
Swiss on the beats Chris move ya feet
And Weezy transform a good girl to a freak
I take the cup with me and start to sing louder.
I go to my room and close the door. I drink my soda and the song finishes. When everything's silent, I hear talking in the living room.
"She was amazing." I hear annie say.
I turn off my room light and put my I pod away. I lay on my good hip and close my eyes. The peas are still frozen enough to last the night.
I can't sleep. I hear footsteps making their way towards my room so I close my eyes and I hide my face in the pillows. I hear my room door open and I hear a wolf whistle.
"She can work those spandex, and sports bra." I hear Finnick say.
"Shut up!" I hear Peeta mutter and there's the sound of a smack. I try not to smile, because I know for a fact, it was Peeta smacking Finnick.
"Why does she have peas on her side?" I hear gale ask.
"She probably wanted to have a sleeping buddy." Johanna teases. She knows I'm awake.
"She said she hurt her hip." I hear Peeta say. I feel some warm hands on my stomach that causes me to shiver. I feel him undo the elastic cord and remove the bag of peas. I hear gasps and he says," It's a bruised hip. She must've hit her side really hard on the ice."
"Take her to the hospital." I hear Gale say.
I hear the sound of clicking and several groans. It sounds like the power went out.
"It's snowing really hard." I hear Johanna say.
"There's no way you can take her now." I hear Finnick say." I'm a female body inspector, maybe I can-"
"Finnick!" Annie shrieks and I hear a smack. I bite my lip and accidentally snort.
"You're a horrible actress." Gale says.
"Why do you think I never took drama in high school." I mumble with my eyes closed.
"How are you?" I hear Peeta say. I feel a part of my bed sink down.
"I don't know." I shrug my shoulders and search for the bag of peas. I find them and place them back on my hip.
"I'm sorry for getting mad." Peeta says.
"Yeah. me too. We were just worried." Annie says.
I guess I would've acted the same way if it were one of them.
"You're forgiven." I say.
"That was some show you gave us." I hear Finnick smile; I scowl.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I say.
"You were dancing and singing. You should have seen Pee-" I hear a smack and I open my eyes.
"Why should have I seen Peeta?" I ask curiously.
Peeta blushes and everyone ,but me, smirks.
"What?" I ask.
"Don't worry Catnip, this isn't the first time he did it." Gale says." Finnick told me."
"What?" I ask again.
"Remember when we had to stay at Annie's because our power went out. You were taking off your sweats in the living room and he-" Johanna begins but Peeta leaves the room." was staring at you."
"Oh." I say and feel blush rising. It's a good thing it's dark.
"He said the same thing right now." Finnick says.
I get up and say," I'll be back."
The bag of peas falls and I ignore it.
I walk all the way to the living room and see that Peeta is looking out the window.
"Hey." I say and he looks over at me. He looks embarrassed.
"Hey." He says in a small voice that's barely audible. He looks out the window again and he says," You probably think I'm a pervert, or-"
"I don't think that." I say.
"I was staring at you." He blushes.
"Peeta it's ok." I smile abit." We are together."
"Really?" He asks.
"Yeah." I say and he smashes his lips against mine.
"I think we'll be seeing more of this in the future." Gale interrupts, causing us to pull away.
"They're so adorable together." Annie squeals.
Peeta and I just stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do next.
"I'm going to call prim, she's training to be a doctor." I mumble and make my way to my room, in the dark. I pick up my phone and dial prim's number.
"Hello?" She says.
"Hey prim." I say.
"Oh hi, kat!" She squeals.
"Prim, I feel on some ice really hard, and now I have a bruised hip." I say.
"Oh, why aren't you at the hospital?" She asks.
"I can't go, there's a blizzard going on outside, and our power even went out." I say.
"Oh my god! Are you and Jo ok!" She freaks out.
"Yes. This isn't the first time it's happened." I say.
"Stay safe! About that hip now, you're going to have to take some Tylenol, or Advil to relieve the pain. Then put some ice on for fifteen minutes and let your hip relax." She says.
"I put a bag of frozen peas on my hip already." I say." It's been there for an hour or so."
"Now just take some Tylenol and relax." She says.
"Ok, thanks prim." I say. I better take some medicine now before they get frozen like last time.
"No problem, take care." She says.
"Ok, bye." I say.
"Bye." She says and I hang up.
I see that I have goose bumps in my arms. I shiver and I go to the kitchen. I see that there's three sleeping bags on the floor.
"Where did you get those?" I ask.
"Oh, I bought them after our first black out of the storm. They insulate heat and keep it from escaping." Johanna says as she gets canned foods from the cabinets. I see that everyone is finding food that won't rot.
"Where's the Tylenol, or Advil?" I ask.
"It's by the blender." Gale says and tosses it to me.
I open up the medicine and he tosses me a spoon. I take two spoonful's of it.
I help them look for food, and by the end of it, we have a small pile of food and water bottles.
It's cold.
"We should start to layer up." I say.
"We don't have any clothes here." Finnick shivers.
"I might have something, you guys can borrow." I say and motion them over.
The guys follow me to my room and I open the closet.
"I'm not wearing your jackets." Gale says.
"They wouldn't fit any of you." I shiver and grab three jackets off coat hangers. I give one to gale, Finnick, and Peeta.
"Where'd you get these?" Gale asks.
"They used to be my dads." I say and there's silence. I grab a long sleeve and put it on.
"We don't have to-" Peeta begins.
"Just wear it ok. I don't want you guys to freeze to death." I say and put on some sweats. I put on a jacket and grab some socks.
"I made the sleeping arrangements." Finnick says.
"Ok, who's sleeping with who?" I ask.
"Gale and Peeta can sleep together." Finnick says and they both glare at him. I laugh and Finnick continues," Katniss, Annie, Johanna, and I have to bond. So me and the girls are going to be sleeping buddies."
"I don't see how were all going to fit in the sleeping bag." I tease.
"We'll make it possible." Finnick says and Peeta looks at me with hurt eyes.
"I was just kidding." I say and smack Peeta lightly on the chest." I'm sleeping with you."
"Too much info." Gale says and I glare at him.
"We could've had fun." Finnick says in his best disappointed voice.
"Not really." I shake my head.
I grab my phone and we walk back to the living room. I see that Annie and Johanna, are all covered up.
"Let's go to sleep." Annie motions Finnick over. He takes off in a sprint and slides into his sleeping bag with Annie.
Peeta helps me in with him. I rest my head on his chest and he wraps his arms around me. He gives me a kiss on the cheek and I wince. It still hurts from when Thom slapped me. Should I tell Peeta?
"What's wrong?" Peeta whispers in my ear.
How am I supposed to tell him that Thom attacked me because of Delly? He clearly doesn't want to deal with her anymore, and I don't want this to make him do something he doesn't want to.
"Nothing, just tired." I lie.
"Are you sure?" He asks.
"Yes." I say. I scowl and close my eyes.
He kisses my forehead and I feel guilty. I shouldn't be lying to him but I don't want him to get mad.
I close my eyes and get pulled into a deep sleep by nightmare's.
...
"Why didn't you tell me!" Peeta yells.
"I'm sorry." I sob and fall to the floor, shaking.
"I can't trust you anymore. If It's going to be like this, then I'm done." He says and gives me a cold look.
"I'm sorry!" I yell and sob.
...
"Kat." I hear Peeta say and he shakes me awake.
"Huh." I say and open my eyes. I see that it's dark out still.
"You were thrashing around. Nightmare?" He asks and I start to cry silently. He holds me closer and I try not to sob. I stay like this for five minutes. I sniff and he says," Want to talk about it?"
There's no way I'm telling him.
"I just had a dream that I killed my father." I lie." I didn't."
"You wouldn't kill him, you love him too much." He whispers and kisses my fore head.
Moments later he speaks again.
"You're the strongest person I've ever met." He says.
"Emotionally or physically?" I ask and he chuckles.
"Go to sleep Kat." He whispers in my ear.
"Goodnight Peeta." I whisper.
"Goodnight." He kisses my cheek and I fall back to sleep.
Two days later...
I told Peeta I wanted to work everyday except weekends and he let me.
The storm ended a day ago, it wasn't really bad. Peeta opened up the bakery today. Rye and Wheat showed up.
I still haven't told Peeta, what happened with Thom. The guilt eats me from the inside but I'm trying to deal with it.
My hip got better. You can still see the bruise, and my hip hurts every time I walk but not as much as it did two days ago.
"Hey beautiful." I hear behind me. Before I can turn around I'm being spun around, with someone's arm wrapped securely around my stomach. I laugh uncontrollably and I'm set down. The whole room spins and I stumble backwards. A pair of arms catches me and sets me back on my feet.
"You look dizzy, are you alright?" Peeta teases. I would roll my eyes, but it feels like they're doing it themselves.
"Shut up, Mellark." I turn around and punch him but I end up hitting some stacked trays. He was right there, I swear I just saw him there.
Peeta chuckles and he wraps his arms around me.
"I'm right here." He whispers against my skin. I feel myself getting goose bumps. Why does he always do this to me? Not that I don't like it, I do.
"Now what should I do since I got you." I say and look again." Or now that you got me."
"How about a kiss?" He asks.
"Deal" I smile and when our lips brush rye starts yelling for Peeta.
"Hey Bro! I need some help with these orders!" Rye yells.
Peeta sighs and I say," Later."
"Ok." He mumbles and I give him a peck on the cheek.
"Are you teasing me?" He asks and smiles.
"Maybe." I smirk and go back to icing cupcakes.
I see Peeta smile and he walks out the room. I go back to frosting my cupcakes. I smile but remember about Thom and Delly. I instantly frown and finish frosting up the cupcakes after what seems to be an hour.
"Kat, can you do me a favor." Peeta says and enters the room.
"Yeah." I say and lick some frosting off my hand.
Peeta chuckles and he says," Can you watch the bakery for a while. Rye, Wheat, Finnick, and I have to go run a quick errand."
"If you're going to a strip club-" I begin and his eyes widen in shock.
"KATNISS!" He yells in horror.
I laugh really hard at his expression
" That's not it! We just have to take care of an order. You know, have it delivered." He says.
"Is it that big wedding cake?" I ask.
"Yes." He says and gives me a long kiss. I wrap my arms around him and he says," So, will you?"
"Yeah." I say." Why don't you put Annie in charge?"
"You've never been in charge." He mumbles before he leans down and gives me a passionate kiss.
What seems to be like hours later, someone decides to interrupt.
"Are we going to go or are you just going fool around with Katniss?" Finnick teases and I blush.
"I'll stay here." Peeta says and I smack him. Everyone laughs and I push him away from me.
"I'm sorry." He says and I go to the small closet room. He follows me and closes the door behind us.
"If you wanted me for sex that's not going to happen anytime soon!" I yell at him. He looks at me in shock and says," Do you honestly think I would do that to you?"
"I don't know, would you?" I snap.
"I was just joking Kat. I know It's going to happen someday, but not right now." He says and I feel myself turn red.
"Get out." I mutter and reach for the door knob.
"You're overreacting." Peeta grabs my wrist.
"You just said that you would want to use me for sex someday! That means you're going to get bored of me!" I yell at him.
"I didn't mean it that way!" He yells.
"Then what way did you mean it!" I yell back, with tears in my eyes.
He runs a hand throw his hair and he says," What I was trying to say was that we will do that one day, but it wont be so soon."
"What if our relationship doesn't last long?" I ask him and instantly regret it from the look on his face.
"You're seriously doubting it?" He asks and gives me a cold look." You think it can't work."
"I-" I begin.
"Forget it." He gets out the room and closes the door.
I sigh and sit down. I'm such an idiot.
Someone comes in the room. I look up and see its Annie.
"Hey." She says and sits across from me.
"Hey." I mutter and glare at the floor.
"What happened?" She asks.
"I screwed things up." I mumble.
"How?" She asks and sits across from me.
"Peeta said that we will eventually have sex but not so soon. I told him what if our relationship doesn't last that long, he looked hurt. He told me if I'm doubting what we have, and if I think it can't work. Before I could reply he left." I say. I feel like an ass.
"Do you think your relationship with him can work?" She asks quietly.
"I don't know. When I was with Cato, I used to think we were going to be together, forever. Now look at what happened." I say.
"I think you're just worrying too much." Annie says.
"What am I supposed to do now?" I mutter.
"Just give Peeta some time to calm down." She says." Then talk to him."
"When exactly is calmed down with Peeta?" I ask.
"Maybe a few days." She looks thoughtful.
I sigh and nod.
"Lets just take care of the bakery, I have to run a quick errand or two after this." I say and get up. I reach for the door knob and Annie says," It'll be ok Kat."
I nod and we leave the closet. I see that the back is empty. They must've left.
"I'm going to go work in the front." She says and I nod.
"I'm going to put the cupcakes in trays." I say and grab a tray from the stack.
I put on my ear phones and hum along to a Carrie underwood song.
Then Transform ya, comes on and I sing along.

When I'm done singing and putting cupcakes on trays, I feel something cool on the side of my head.
"Don't move a fucking muscle." I hear a deep voice say.
Author's Note: Like the cliff hanger? I'm just teasing you guys, this chapter isn't done yet!
I feel the man grab my arm and pull me to the front with Annie. I see that the curtains are closed and the closed sign of the store is facing the outside.
I get thrown next to Annie and I see she's crying.
"This is a robbery." One says.
"Obviously, why else would you be holding a gun." I point out.
"Give me all the money in the cash register." One says and point the gun at Annie." If not she dies."
Annie starts to cry really loud.
"Ok." I say and put my hands up. I walk over the register and I say," I'll need a bag."
"W- I mean Ralph, go get a bag." The man mutters.
Ralph goes to get the bag and I look at the man's pistol. It looks fake.. I see black paint on the man's fingers and I instantly know that the gun was spray painted. I kick the gun out of the man's grasp and jump on his back.
"Get off of me!" He yells and he crashes into the wall. I grab his shoulder and throw him over the counter. I jump over it and my chest slams against his. I hear him make on' oof' sound.
"I can't- can't breathe." He wheezes and holds onto his throat.
"Well I can't believe you just tried to rob us with a fake gun." I say and get off him. I kick him in the stomach and I get up. I turn and see that Annie has a gun pointed to her head.
"Cut the shit, we both know that you're holding a plastic gun that you bought from the super market." I say and I see embarrassment in the "robber's" Eyes. Annie giggles and the man drops his gun and grabs a knife. I know that's not fake. He puts it to her throat and I say," Ok stop! I'll get you your money."
"I don't want the money anymore." He says and glares at me.
"Then what do you want?" I ask.
"You and her barried alive." he says and throws Annie to the floor, not as hard as I would've thought.
He walks over to me and grabs my bicep. I try to pull away but he outs the knife towards me throat and says," Move a muscle and I kill her."
"With your plastic pistol?" I mutter and try to pull away from him.
"Shut up." He says and pulls me towards the back.
"Rye that's enough." I hear someone mutter, trying to catch their breath. I look back and see that it's wheat." You're fucking brave."
"Rye?" I ask and he bursts out laughing. I smack him repeatedly and yell," You fucking idiot!"
"I thought I was going to die!" Annie sobs." I thought Katniss was going to get raped!"
"It's ok, Anne." Wheat wraps his arms around her.
"Why the fuck would you idiots do that!" I yell and punch rye.
He laughs and says," We were trying to see how you would react to a real robbery."
"That's so stupid!" I yell in anger.
"Not really." Wheat shakes his head.
" I thought you were delivering a cake?" I ask.
"Oh, right! Peeta sent us back to get the bride and groom." Rye jogs back. My heart shattered at his brother's name. Peeta.
"You two better get your shit together, Peeta's pretty upset." Wheat gets up." We never did this."
"Yes you did." Annie mumbles.
"Finnick and Peeta would get mad if they ever found out." Wheat says." That's why you both aren't going to say a word."
"What's in it for us?" I ask and lean on the wall, with my arms crossed.
"You both get a good view while you work." He winks at Annie and I. We look at each other and burst out laughing. "It's was worth a shot."
I catch my breathe and I say," I want some of those cookies you make, what are they called again?"
"Wheat- a- licious?" Annie asks.
"Yes, those." I say." What do you put in them?"
"Baker's secret." he wiggles his brows.
"I want some of those cookies too!" Annie giggles.
"Ok." He nods.
"Go it!" I hear rye yell and run into the front of the bakery.
"What took so long?" Wheat asks.
"I got a text from my sexy lady." Rye says and wiggles his brows.
"Lets go before Peeta kills us." Wheat says and motions rye over." This never happened, got it."
"What happened?" Annie asks and I shrug my shoulders.
"Good." Rye says and they both leave the bakery.
Author's Note: Now the chapter is done. I'm sorry I haven't updated. I've been really busy. Expect some update for my other stories as well!
Oh, and please review!
P.S. I don't own the song transform ya by lil wayne, chris brown, and.. I think that's it.
