Author's Note: Also I noticed that I said peeta's birthday was on January 17th. I mean to put February 17th.

Katniss's POV
2 days later...
I wake up and see sunlight streaming through the windows. I sit up and yawn.
I look to my side and see that peeta is still passed out from last night. We watched the marathon of the saw movies, with Johanna, Finnick, Gale, and Annie.
I place a kiss on peeta's cheek and race out of his room.
I've been staying at peeta's house for the past three days. I've been having really bad nightmares, I don't know what triggered them. Three days ago, Johanna told me she didn't get me to wake up until she called peeta. She told me the second peeta wrapped his arms around me and tried to get me to stop yelling, I calmed down.
I shake my head and walk into the kitchen. What am I going to cook? I'm not that useful in the kitchen.
"Fuuuuccckkk." I stomp my foot several times on the floor.
Why can't I be good at anything!
I grab my car keys off the table and slip on a coat and boots. I'm wearing sweats and a tanktop. I grab a piece of paper and write:
Went out. I'll be back in thirty minutes
- Love you, K.
I leave it on the kitchen counter.
I jog over to my car and get in. Now where do I go?
"Fuck!" I hit my steering wheel and it makes a loud beeping noise. Shit!
I look up at peeta's room window and don't see nothing. I rest my head on the steering wheel and squeeze my eyes shut.
Ok think, what does peeta like. What does- Fuck I can't think of anything. He always eats different things for breakfast. Damn!
There's a tap on the window and I jump. I see it's peeta. He motions for me to open the door since I locked it. I sigh and unlock the door. He opens it and says," What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I say abit harshly.
"Come on, tell me." He says and I lose it.
"I woke up and was trying to make you a nice breakfast but I can't do shit! I can't cook!" I yell. I fucked everything up!
I bang my fists several times on the steering wheel, not caring if I wake up Haymitch or anyone else on the block.
"Fucking u-" I begin but peeta catches my wrists.
"Hey- Calm down." He tells me.
"But I can-" I begin but he presses his lips against mine. Damn him. I return the kiss and all anger fades away. He pulls away and says," Why don't I help you?"
"No peeta." I shake my head.
"It'll be fun." He says.
"Peeta, you're always cooking for me, I want to return the favor but I just.." I cut myself off and my anger is slowly returning.
" You have returned the favor everyday." He says.
"How?" I ask him.
"By being with me." He says and gives me a peck on the lips." Don't get mad at yourself."
"I-" I begin to complain but he kisses me harder.
"Don't." He says before I pull him closer to me.
He moans and I try to pull him in the car with me.
"K-" He begins but lifts me up so he can carry me bridal style. He holds me up and shuts the car door. He leads us over to his house. When we get in we crash into a wall.
Peeta and I haven't been this intimate. The only time we've went really far was that one time in the laundry room. We're always interrupted.
We land on the couch. Right when he's about to take off my shirt, the phone rings. Interrupted. Again.
We groan in annoyance. He reaches for the phone but I say," Ignore it."
He looks at me in shock and kisses me hungrily. We get so caught up in the kiss that we fall on the floor.
I don't know how long we make out for, but nothing seems to stop us. Then a loud pounding on the door causes us to freeze.
Both of us are half naked, in his bedroom.
He pants and I see his eyes are dark blue. I ignore the knocking and kiss him harder. His hands grip my waist and then there's yelling.
"Peeta Mellark, open this door!" I hear a woman screeching. His mom. We both freeze. His eyes that were once full of lust and love, are now blue and cold.
"Don-" I begin but he gets off me.
"Stay here and don't move." He orders.
"But-" I begin and decide not to mess with him. Peeta scares me when he's angry.
He walks down stairs. Seconds later, I hear the door open.
"I have been knocking for five minutes and-" Mrs. Mellark begins.
"Get out of here." I hear peeta's cold voice. Never, have I ever, heard him this cold to anyone.
"I am your mother and-" She begins.
"Mom get out of here!" he yells at her.
"I have a right to be here!" She yells back.
"After you treat Katniss in a very disrespectful way, you have no right to be here!" He yells at her.
I don't hear nothing for awhile.
"Is that her clothes on the floor?" I hear her cold voice.
"I-" Peeta begins." Mom! Get out!"
I hear someone racing up the steps. I quickly pull out a sweater from peeta's dwarers and open a window. I climb onto a frozen tree and close the window. Slowly, I make my way to the ground. My feet and legs are freezing.
Who knows what Mrs. Mellark would've done if she found me? I'm not scared of her. But I'm scared of what she'll do to peeta. I'm so stupid! I leave him alone with his mother! I walk around the house and a voice stops me.
"Don't go in there." I hear a raspy voice. I turn and see its Haymitch.
"Why not?" I say.
"You'll make things worse sweetheart." He says.
"His mom is crazy!" I say and hear someone walk out the front door.
I hide behind the wall and see it's Mrs. Mellark. She has a satistfied look on her face. She gets in her car and drives away.
"Now you can go in. Woman looked crazy." Haymitch says.
I go over to the house and open the door. I find an angry peeta in the kitchen. This isn't good.
He sets some pots and pans on the stove. One seems to fall and he snaps. He knocks over the pots and pans and I flinch. Peeta's never been this angry.
He walks up the stairs and I hear a door slam. I need to help him calm down.
I walk up the steps and see he's in his room. I try to open the door but notice it's locked.
I knock on the door and say," Peeta?"
"Go away Katniss." He says in an angry voice.
"Peeta open the door." I ignore what he said.
"I said get away! We're over!" He yells." Don't come back here at all!"
"P-" tears blurry my vision.
"I said go away! I fucking hate you!" He yells.
"You know what! Fuck you!" I yell. I go down the stairs and bite my lip. I take off his sweatshirt and put on my bra and shirt. I put on my sweats and socks.
His mother has to fuck everything up! Why can't he be happy for once!
I slip on some boots and run out his house.
Peeta's POV
"You think she loves you?" She sneers.
"Get out." I point to the door.
"I'm done with this shit! dump her!" She yells.
"I'm not dumping her! I love her too damn much!" I yell back.
"Dump her, or I'll make sure she gets hurt." She glares at me.
"You're not going to touch her." I threaten.
"I won't, if you leave her." She smirks.
Katniss's POV
When I get to Johanna's house, I'm a mess. I still can't feel my feet or legs. My eyes are red from crying really hard.
I get out the car and get into the house.
I run into the house and see that Johanna is watching TV with Finnick, annie, and Gale.
"Whoa, what's wrong?" Finnick asks as I run to my room. I slam the door and lock it.
...
I don't talk to no one the rest of the day. I really have to use the bathroom but I don't want to face them. I've been listening to really depressing songs on my iPod.
I've been getting a lot of texts but I ignore them. I don't bother looking from who they're from.
..
At the end of the night, I can't take it anymore. I open the door and go to the bathroom. No one's there. I quickly use it and go back to my room. Before I can close the door a foot gets in the way. Gale comes in and closes the door behind him.
"Tell me what happened?" He crosses his arms.
"Why don't you go ask him?" I say and sit on my bed.
" He's not home." He says." Tell me."
"He broke up with me." I say and tears slide down my cheeks.
I see anger take over Gale's face.
"I'll go find that asshole." He says and gets up.
I hear him tell everyone and then there's angry outbursts.
I plug in my earphones in my ears and ignore everyone.
...
I've been like this for the past two days. I can't be in this house.
I get up and take my iPod with me. I get my car keys and a twenty dollar bill. I get in my car and drive. I drive by peeta's house and see that his car's not in the driveway. Why did I have to go this way!
I get on the freeway and turn on the radio.
This is what I get for falling in love.
Before I know it, I drive to the grocery store. I instantly know what I want. I put on some sunglasses and put my hair in a messy bun.
I walk into the store and make my way to the ice cream isle. I grab some ice cream and accidentally bump into a strong chest.
"Sorry." I mumble and walk around. I instantly remember peeta, damn him!
Peeta's POV
She runs into me and I freeze.
"sorry." She says.
She looks terrible. I sigh and run a hand through my hair.
I fight the urge to run over to her, and pull her close to me. I miss kissing her, and telling her I love her.
Katniss's POV
I eat ice cream in the park for the next hour. I feel like getting sick so I won't have to go to work. Johanna's forcing me to go to work tomorrow.
I take off my jacket and socks. I run around the park, and run towards the river.
"Hey! You! Put your coat and shoes back on!" I hear a cop yell." Don't go near that river! It's dangerous!"
I ignore him and take off running faster. I'm only going to dip my feet in.
"Lady!" I hear a yell.
When I'm a good ten feet away, I'm tackled to the floor. I feel a pain come from the back of my head.
I groan and hold it.
"Are you crazy! What were you thinking!" I hear him yell. I open my eyes and see his blue one's filled with fear.
The cop catches up to us and says," You try something like that again, you are not allowed here the rest of the winter."
He walks away and I glare at peeta.
He gets up and offers me a hand. I get up myself and take off my socks.
"Put on your socks!" He scolds at me.
"No!" I yell at him. I feel myself being swept off my feet." Put me down!"
"You're going to get sick!" He yells at me.
"You don't give two fucks!" I yell at him.
He sets me down on the bench and says," I'm not letting you leave without you putting on your socks, shoes, and jacket."
"You're nobody to tell me what to do." I hiss at him. He opens his mouth to say something but quickly shuts it.
I put on my socks, shoes, and jacket quickly and walk to my car. When I get in I feel tears starting to form in my eyes. I break into loud cries and sobs. I rest my head on the steering wheel and break down harder.
Peeta's POV
She scared the shit out of me. What was she thinking!
I see her crying in her car and it kills me.
Katniss's POV
I run into the house and lock myself up in my room. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
I just killed Johanna.
"I'm sorry!" I yell and fall on my knees.
I have no control over my body. I pick up the knife and jab it into peeta's stomach.
"Peeta! I'm so sorry!" I start to sob really loud. I feel my heart beat increase.
I start to yell his name over and over until there's a strong pain coming from my left cheek.
There's another smack again. My eyes fly open and I see Johanna, Annie and a cop?
"What?" I sit up. I notice there's tears and sweat on my face.
"You were yelling peeta's name really loud. The neighbor's called the cops." Annie gives me a sad look.
"False alarm." The cop rights down on a note pad." Do us a favor and have a bucket of cold water handy, next time."
The whole room is burning.
"Yes officer." Johanna looks like she wants to punch him.
He leaves without a word.
2 days Later...
Peeta hasn't been to work and that relieves me. I've been working in the back non stop with Rye and wheat. They try to cheer me up but it doesn't work.
"Thank you, come again." I tell the pair of teenagers. Everything is burning in here. I've been like this since the past 2 days. I haven't told anyone because they would make a big deal about it.
Everything seems to come in and out of focus. I have to blink several times, and tighten my grip on the counter.
I hear a the bell to the bakery ring but I ignore it. Breathe. breathe.
I hear someone saying something but I can't seem to focus on it.
The last thing I remember is a warm hand touching my arm.
Peeta's POV
"You ungrateful boy! Throwing your own mother in jail!" She yells as the cops hand cuff her.
I told dad what happened, and told him I was going to report her to the police. He just nodded his head and gave me a pat on the back.
I couldn't stand being away from Katniss. I miss everything about her.
I ignore her comments and get into my car. I drive over to the bakery. I jog in and see that Katniss. She looks like she's about to pass out.
" Hey, look at me." I say and rush over to her. The second my hand touches her arm, she faints. Before she hits the ground, I catch her in my arms.
"Katniss want to-" I hear Rye say." Peeta! What are you doing here?! And what the fuck did you do to her?!"
"She fainted." I say and carry her bridal style." I'm taking her to the hospital."
"I'll call everyone." He says and I nod.
I press my cheek to Katniss's and feel that she's burning really bad.
Author's Note: So...yeah. Please review and tell me what you thought. Just to let you know, I did this because I wanted Mrs. Mellark to stop trying to ruin their relationship later on in the future. I just want them to be happy because everyone deserves to be happy. My next update will hopefully be on Friday, if not Saturday.
