Of course, nothing gold can stay. Dinner goes well but I wake up at midnight when I hear screams from the house across from mine. I attach my prosthetic, slip on my slippers and hurry out of the house. I run across the path that connects our two houses and enter hers. Thankfully her door is unlocked.
"Katniss?!" I call but there's no response, she's still caught in her dream. I run up the stairs and throw open the door to her room. She's tangled in the blankets from all her tossing and turning.
"Katniss?" I shake her softly, trying to pull her from her dreams, "Katniss, wake up." She doesn't wake up but she calms when I talk to her. What would she think if I slept beside her? She said last night we should start off as friends, is it normal for friends to sleep together? When her screams start up again I can't help myself, I climb in beside her and pull her tight against my chest.

I wake up feeling like I had a nightmare but I can't remember. I can always remember. I roll over to find I am not alone in bed, Peeta lays beside me. Peeta?! I'm instantly awake as I look him over, when did he get here? I sure don't remember him coming over. He's still sleeping and looks relaxed, happy even. I wish I had the courage to ask him to move in with me but I don't. I'm not sleeping and I wake up more tired than when I go to bed. I wrap myself in his arms, I might as well enjoy this time I have with him.

When I wake up Katniss is still with me. I run a finger over her cheek softly and smile. Once again, I'm wishing I could live in this moment. Just stay here, forever. She stretches out and soon shell be awake. Should I leave before she wakes up or stay?
Vote guys! Should Peeta stay or go?
