Katniss's POV
( A/N: By the way this is one month later.)
"Thank you." I call after the woman. I put the money in the cash register and close it. I've been working at the Mellark Bakery for a few weeks now, and I'm making a great amount of money. My dad moved in with Prim and I, but Haymitch had to go back to district 2. He couldn't leave Effie alone, and I could tell he missed her. I remember me crying my eyes out when I was dropping my Uncle off at the train station. Peeta was there to comfort me afterwards though.
Peeta and I are still together and we're abit more serious. We still haven't done 'it' yet. I'm worried that Peeta will get bored of me, and leave me but my heart tells me that he would never do that.
It's Saturday in the afternoon, and my shift ends in about three hours. I smile to myself, because peeta is taking me out on a date.
I feel some strong arms wrap around my waist and spin me around. I can't help but squeal. When he puts me down I turn around and give him a long kiss.
"Just three more hours." He says and give him a hug. I rest my head on his chest and smell cinnamon with- Katniss quit it.
"I know." I say moments later. I still haven't told peeta I loved him yet and I feel guilty about it. A couple of days ago, I almost told him I loved him but I didn't because my dad was calling me home. I'm planning on telling him on the date today.
"What's wrong?" He asks and lifts my chin up. I'm greeted by his blue eyes.
"Nothing, just thinking about the date." I say and smile abit. That's half true.
Peeta smiles and gives me a passionate kiss.
"Peeta, we need you to start frosting this cake!" Wheat yells form the back of the bakery.
"Coming!" Peeta yells back. He plants a gentle kiss on my lips and says," I love you."
I'm about to say it but It has to be special. I'm going to say it on the date.
"Ok." I say and smile. I give him a kiss on the cheek and he goes to frost the cake.
I walk back to the register and turn on the radio. I hum along to a song and I hear the bell of the bakery ring.
"Welcome to the Mellark bakery-" I begin and see that It's one of Glimmer's friends." What are you doing here?"
"I came here to talk to you." She says. I think her name is Pricilla or something. She got into a fight with glimmer a week ago, Glimmer was pretty pissed off.
"Ok-" I begin and she says," In private."
" I'm in the middle of my shift and-" I begin.
"Please, It's really important, It won't take long." She says and I see fear in her eyes.
"Um, ok." I say and she pulls me towards a dark alley and says," You don't ever leave Peeta out of your sight do you hear me. You watch out for yourself as well."
"What are you talking about?" I ask confused.
"Glimmer is trying to break you and peeta up." She says and looks sorry for me." I tried to stop her and things ended pretty bad between us. We're not friends anymore, but I never liked her she was such a slut and she's mean."
"Why would she want to break us up?" I ask and raise my brows.
"It's obvious." She says." You have everything she doesn't. You're really pretty, you have the guy she's been wanting to sleep with, you just have everything."
"I don't have everything." I say and shake my head.
"She's the one that injected you with tracker jacker venom." She says and I just stay there frozen.
"Why would she do that?" I ask.
"She wanted Peeta to think that you were crazy that way he would leave you." She says." That didn't seem to work out so she put wires all over peeta's room."
"That bitch." I say shocked.
"I got them out for you." She says and shows me a handful of wires. She throws them into the dumpster and says," Take care of yourself, glimmer can get pretty crazy when she doesn't get what she wants."
"Thanks Pricilla." I say and give her a hug.
"I never talked to you, Glimmer would make my life hell if she found out." She says and I nod." Take care."
She runs off and disappears into a store. I exit the alley and go back behind the register. Glimmer is trying to break Peeta and I up. And she injected me with tracker jacker venom. She better hope she doesn't run into me.
The next three hours, I hand people their bread or cakes. It's finally 7:00. I clock out and see that rye is doing the same.
"Peeta told me to tell you that he needs ten more minutes to finish up the cake." Rye says." He seemed abit dizzy."
"Ok, thanks." I say and re-braid my hair. When I'm done I walk into the back of the bakery and see that Peeta has glimmer pinned against a wall and he's kissing her neck. I feel tears form in my eyes and I say," What are you doing peeta."
" I told you to give me ten minutes." He says in an angry voice. This is nothing like peeta, or maybe it's the peeta that's been disguising himself.
"You heard him Katniss." Glimmer says and smirks.
Tears escape my eyes and I grab Glimmer by the hair and start banging her head on the floor.
"Let her go, she never did anything to you." Peeta yells at me and tries to get me off of glimmer.
"What's going on in here?" I hear rye say.
I slap glimmer and say," That's for injecting me with tracker jacker venom."
I get up and turn to peeta and say," I never want to see you again."
"Good, because I hate you, and I never liked you." He says angry and slaps me.
"Peeta, what the hell are you doing?" Rye says abit shocked.
I slap peeta back really hard and run out of the bakery, crying really hard. I remember what Pricilla said, but this was Peeta's doing not Glimmer's. He was even defending her. I run and don't stop until I get home.
I see that Mrs. Mellark is fixing up her garden and she see's me and says," Katniss, are you alright dear?"
I shake my head and run inside my house. I see that Prim is playing with rue on the living room floor. My dad is watching some cop show. I cry harder and go up the stairs.
"Katniss, what's wrong?" I hear prim ask.
I go into my room and slam the door and lock it. I sit in a corner and cry. I'm glad I never told peeta I loved him.
"Katniss, open up." My dad says and knocks on the door.
"Katniss, please tell us what's wrong." Rue says and I hear prim crying. I know she's scared.
"He never cared about me." I say and sob.
"Katniss, open the door so we can help you." My dad says. I walk up to the door and unlock it. I begin to cry and the three of them hug me.
"What's wrong sweetie." My dad says and I cry into his shoulder.
"I was clocking out and rye told me that peeta said he's going to be ten minutes late because he wasn't done frosting a cake. I went to the back of the bakery and I saw him- I saw him-" I begin and cry harder.
"You saw him what?" I hear prim ask abit sad.
"He had glimmer pinned against the wall and he was kissing her." I say and burst into more tears." I told him what he was doing and he told me in a really angry way that he told me to wait ten minutes. Glimmer said,' you heard him Katniss.' I started to beat up glimmer and Peeta was trying to get me off her and he was telling me, to let her go because she never did anything to me. Then rye comes in and asks what's going on and I slap glimmer really hard because one of her friends told me that she was the one that gave me tracker jacker venom. I turned to peeta and said that I never wanted to see him for the rest of my life and he said good because he hates me and he never liked me." I say and cry harder." He slapped me. I slapped him back and ran out of the bakery."
I feel my dad is frozen in place.
"I'll be back, Katniss." He says and plants a kiss on my head." Girls take care of her."
"Ok." Prim says and wipes her tears. I see that they are both crying as hard as me. I cry and they lead me over to my bed. I lay down and see the rose that peeta gave me on our first date. I cry harder and cry abit more harder when I see the stuffed animal.
"I've known Peeta for years, and this doesn't sound like him." Rue says and sobs.
"I hate him for hurting Katniss." Prim says angry." The next time I see him, he's going to get slapped really hard."
" I'll be back, Katniss needs support from her friends." Rue says.
I continue to cry and I hear yells next door. I can barely make out the words, ' son', 'slapped', 'dead'. I continue to cry until I don't feel capable of producing tears. I just lay there and feel prim stroke my hair.
"That idiot, I'm going to make sure he doesn't see the sun!" I hear Johanna's yells downstairs.
"Are you sure, that doesn't sound like peeta." I hear gale say.
Prim puts a blanket over me and I hear several people enter my room.
"Oh, Katniss." I hear annie say and start to cry.
"That idiot!" Finnick yells." I may be a flirt, but I know that It is wrong to hit a woman."
"I never knew peeta was like that." Thresh says.
"I'm going to go kill that son of a bitch right now!" Finnick yells in anger.
"Me too!" Thresh and gale yell in anger.
"Let's make a stop by my house, I need to pick up my axe." Johanna says." No one dares hurt my friends and gets away with it. If I'm lucky enough, I might run into that glimmer bitch."
"We'll stay here with Katniss." Annie says and gives me a hug.
"We'll be back." I hear finnick say in a angry tone that I've never heard him use before. I hear several feet stomping down the stairs and go out the house.
Rye's POV
"You idiot, what are you doing, you love her!" I yell at Peeta and punch him.
"Get away from me, I hate her!" Peeta roars and punches me in the eye.
"Baby, don't, you might hurt yourself." That glitter idiot says.
"Ok, for you." Peeta says and I hear the dumb blonde giggle annoyingly.
"Your such a dick, you never deserved her." I tell peeta and spit out blood.
"I can't believe I ever dated that slut, when I could've had this." Peeta says and starts to kiss glimmer.
"You know what, don't ever bother talking to me again until you get your shit straight. You just slapped the girl I thought you cared about, and now you're making out with this whore." I say and turn to leave but peeta turns me around and punches me in the nose.
"You don't speak about Glimmer that way." He says in a tone full of venom.
"Whatever." I say and walk out the bakery.
"Rye what's going on?" My dad asks and I see horror stuck all over his face.
"Tell that to your idiot of a son." I say and walk towards Katniss's house.
Mr. Mellark's POV
I walk into the bakery and hear giggling in the back. I walk back there and see that Peeta is kissing another woman. It's not Katniss.
"Peeta, what are you doing?" I ask in horror.
"Kissing the love of my life." He says and she squeals.
"What about Katniss?" I ask.
"I always hated her." He says in an angry way.
"But-" I continue and hear Jake's shouts.
"PEETA MELLARK, YOU DO NOT SLAP MY DAUGHTER AND GET AWAY WITH IT!" Jake yells in rage.
"What's going on?" I ask confused.
"Your disgrace of a son slapped Katniss." He says and I stand there in shock. But he loved her, I could see it in his eyes every time he looked at her.
"Peeta is this true?" I ask in disappointment.
"Maybe." He says and kisses the Glimmer girl.
Jake goes over to peeta and punches him really hard in the face.
"Don't ever come near my daughter again, or I'll shoot an arrow through your pathetic skull." He says and leaves peeta on the floor.
"Baby!" Glimmer cries and rushes over to peeta.
I hear more shouts entering the bakery and I see that finnick, thresh, gale, and Johanna enter the back of the bakery.
Thresh's POV
We pass by Mr. Mellark and I say," You may want to call an ambulance."
"Baby wake up." I hear glimmer in her annoyed cry.
"Get your ass off of him rambin!" Johanna yells while swinging her axe all over the place.
"No, I love him!" Glimmer yells and she ends up getting punched with the end of Johanna's axe.
"Peeta, get your ass up!" Finnick says angry.
"Get away from me." Peeta groans.
" What's going on in here?" Mrs. Mellark says with wheat behind her.
I grab the three of them and explain everything to them as I hear finnick, gale , and Johanna yell things at peeta.
"He slapped her?" Mrs. Mellark says in horror.
"Yes." I say." That's what my little sister told me."
"Oh my." She says." Jake wasn't lying."
"I'm going to beat him up." Wheat says and has an angry look in his eyes.
"I saw rye with a bloody nose." Mr. Mellark says," We need to talk to peeta."
"And don't you dare ever come to see Katniss ever again, or I'll-" Gale yells.
"Gale." I say and he turns towards me." I have to tell peeta something in private, get out."
They all nod and they leave. I crouch beside peeta and see that he's crying his head off.
"Look, I'm mad at you a lot, but I know there's a reason you acted the way you did." I say and Peeta starts crying some more." Get your act together."
I leave with Johanna, Finnick, and gale.
Katniss's POV
I can't be here. There are too many memories of Peeta and I here in this room.
"Dad." I say hoarsely and he gives me a sad look.
"Yes, sweetheart." He says.
"I can't stay here, I need to be away-" I say and he seems to understand.
"I still have my old house in the woods, you can stay in it for as long as you need." He says and I nod." I'll have prim pack you some clothes."
He gets up and I hear some shuffling and the opening of drawers.
"Katniss, Madge and I made you some hot chocolate." Annie says and hands me a mug.
I try to smile but nothing happens. It's like the happiness has been drained out of me.
"Thanks." I say and start to drink my hot chocolate but I remember the memory of Peeta serving us pancakes and chocolate milk before we went to the mall .I start crying and Madge takes the mugs off of my hands.
"Let's go Kat." My dad says.
"Where is she going?" Annie asks.
"I'm taking her somewhere where she can help recover. There's too many memories in here, and It's making it hard for her." He say and carries me.
"Can we come too?" Prim asks.
"You stay here prim rose." My dad says.
" No dad, I need to go." Prim says determined.
"Fine." He says as I sob silently.
"What about us?" I hear annie ask.
" You can come as well, but don't tell anyone about this place I'm about to take you. If your going to be spending the night, take some clothes with you and meet me back here, then I'll take you." He says and I start to drift off into sleep.
I wake up and see that we're in a small house and It's really cool. I'm on the couch and Annie, Madge, Rue, and Prim are talking with my dad in the kitchen.
" I don't know why he would do that, he had a look as If he loved her more than he loved himself." Madge says in a shaky voice.
"He's not going near my daughter ever again, or I will hurt him." I hear my dad say and I don't feel like listening to their conversation. I feel empty, lonely, sad, stupid, and more. Maybe I deserve this for being an idiot.
"Katniss, you hungry?" Rue asks.
I shake my head and turn on my back.
"Katniss, you have to eat sweet heart." My dad says abit scared.
"I'm tired, I want to go to sleep." I say and close my eyes again.
This goes on for the next three days. Prim, Annie, Madge, Rue and my dad try to comfort me and cheer me up but nothing seems to work. Finnick, Johanna, thresh, and gale have visited me but the house is too small to fit all of us, so they all take turns. I'm currently in bed and staring at the blanket on a bed. I remember the picnic peeta and I had a month ago. I start to cry and I feel someone's arms wrap around me.
"Don't cry." I hear annie say and I can hear her sniffs from behind me.
"I miss him." I say and cry.
"I know you do, but It's not worth it." Annie says and hums a song.
"I wish I never met peeta." I say angry. This causes me to cry more and annie cries along with me.
Peeta's POV
I wake up in my bedroom and I feel pain coming from my nose. I walk over to my bathroom mirror and see that I have something over my nose. I touch it and pain shoots everywhere. What happened to me?
I check the clock and see that it's 11:00 a.m. I can't believe I woke up late on a Sunday. I quickly change and head downstairs. Everyone is eating breakfast on the table and they're all ignoring me.
"Morning." I say and take a seat next to rye and he gets up and leaves. " What's wrong with him?"
"Oh, don't play that shit peeta." Wheat says and rolls his eyes. He gets up and leaves as well.
"What did I do?" I ask confused.
"You should know what you did." My mom says and sends me a cold glare. The door bell rings and my mom says," Your girlfriend's here."
I smile big and head over to the door expecting to see Katniss but instead I see that It's Glimmer.
"What do you want?" I ask annoyed.
"I came to pick you up for school." Glimmer says and gives me a kiss on the lips. I pull away and say," I'm with Katniss, what's the matter with you."
"Uh, no you're not." She says confused.
"Yes I am." I say.
"No you're not." Rye says and pushes me out the way. He makes his way towards the bakery with an angry look on his face.
"Here, let me show you what went down three days ago." Glimmer says and rolls her eyes.
"Three days ago, what are you talking about?" I ask confused.
She takes out her phone and says," This will answer your questions."
She plays me a video and it shows me pinning glimmer against the wall, and kissing her. Next Katniss, shows up and I talk to her in a angry way. Glimmer replies something but I'm too busy looking at Katniss's expression. She looks broken. Katniss starts to bang Glimmer's head on the floor and I try to get Katniss off of her. Rye comes in and says what's going on.' That's for injecting tracker jacker venom in me,' Katniss says at glimmer. I pause the video and turn to glimmer to see that she has a really bad bruised nose.
"You injected her with the venom?" I ask angry.
"Yes, but the video is not done." Glimmer says annoyed." You're missing the best part."
She presses play and it shows Katniss telling me she never wants to see me again. I feel myself trying to fight tears and It shows me telling her,' good, because I hate you and I never liked you.' Then it shows me slapping Katniss and I loose it. I throw the phone across the street and slam the door in Glimmer's face.
"It's not real." I mutter and slide down the wall. I would never hit Katniss. I start to cry and my dad comes over and says," You messed up son, you have to fix this."
"I don't remember doing any of that." I sob.
"You did, I was there to witness some things for myself. I asked what you were doing when I saw you kissing that young woman and you said kissing the love of my life." He says.
I shake my head and say," I don't love glimmer, dad."
"Then I asked you about Katniss and you told me you hated her." He says and I burst into more tears.
"I didn't say that!" I yell and kick the wall.
"Katniss's dad found out you slapped Katniss and he punched you pretty hard." My dad says and I shake my head." He doesn't ant you near Katniss, son."
"I don't remember doing any of those things." I cry hard and my dad pats my arm. The door bell rings and I say," Don't open it, it's probably glimmer."
"Ok." My dad says.
"I need to see Katniss." I say and get up.
"I wouldn't do that If I were you." My dad says and the doorbell rings again.
"Why not?" I ask.
"She's pretty broken, and I don't think she wants to see you. Plus, she's not staying at the house currently." My dad says and I feel my heart shatter to pieces. Katniss doesn't want to see me.
I go up the stairs and go into my room and start to sob. I would never hurt Katniss, but why did I in that video.
Ok, peeta retrace your steps. I was frosting a cake and a customer came in. It was glimmer and the last thing I remember is a syringe. A syringe! I look at my arms and see a small mark on my arm.
Katniss's POV
"Do you want to eat?" My dad offers and I shake my head." Look sweetheart, you have to eat something, you're scaring prim."
I sigh and get up and walk to the table. Annie is sitting beside me and madge is in front of me. I'm served some chicken and I eat little pieces of it.
"I'm full." I say and get up. I walk back to my room and stare off into space.
I hear someone knock on my dad's house door and I begin to hear voices talk.
I start to hum a song play with my fingers.
The door to the door opens and I don't bother looking.
"Katniss, we need to talk." Johanna says.
"Ok." I say and start to hum.
"Look, you're a mess." She says and sits at the end of my bed." You can't keep this up, you've lost about five pounds these past three days if I'm right."
"So." I say.
"Damn it!" She says." Have you tooken a look in the mirror lately, your scary as shit!"
She hands me a hand mirror and I slowly take it from her hands. I see that I have bags, my eyes are red and puffy, I look abit skinnier, I look tired.
I burst into tears and Johanna holds me.
"It's ok." Johanna says.
"What's wrong with me?" I ask and burst into tears." Why did he cheat on me?"
"Nothing's wrong with you, he's just too stupid." Johanna says. She doesn't say his name because she knows I will just cry harder.
"Why can't I get over him?" I ask and cry harder.
"You were in love him and you still are." Johanna says and I cry.
" I can't, he hates me and he hit me." I say and sob.
"Why don't we go out dancing tonight and try to forget about him." Johanna asks and strokes my hair.
"Ok." I say and sniff.
" Let's go." She says and hands me a pair of shoes.
Peeta's POV
"I'm telling you, I think Glimmer injected me with something." I say and pace the hospital floors, waiting for the results.
" I don't think she-" My dad begins.
"Dad, she injected Katniss with the venom, she's capable of anything." I say and the doctor comes in.
"Mr. Mellark, we have your results." The doctor says and takes out a piece of paper." According to your blood test we have spotted a hint of venom in your system. You were injected with venom, but mainly all of it is out of your system. The last of the venom should be gone if you get enough sleep."
I knew it!
"I have to go talk to Katniss." I say and turn to the door.
"Not so fast soon, I have to report this to the police because no one is supposed to have tracker jacker venom on them." The doctor says.
"It's glimmer rambin doc, it's not the first time she's done this." Thresh says. The doctor writes it down and he says," A police officer should arrive at your house later for questioning."
"Thank you." I say and turn to the door but I'm stopped again.
"Do you know any other victims miss rambin has injected?" The doctor asks.
"Katniss Everdeen." I say and leave the hospital.
Katniss's POV
We're at Johanna's house and I'm currently in the shower. My dad didn't want Johanna to take me out, he thought it's be best if I stayed home but Prim convinced him. She told him that I should go out and try to have abit of fun.
I shave, and shampoo and condition my hair. This reminds me of the time I was getting ready to go to the mall with annie and the whole group. That was when Peeta and I we're together. I start to cry and curl up into a ball. The warm water hits my face as I cry and I hear Johanna's knocks on the door.
"Katniss, don't cry." She says and I sniff.
He slapped me and said he hated me.
I cry harder and I start to sob loudly.
"Don't take too long." Johanna gives up and lets me cry.
I cry for another thirty minutes and turn off the shower. I dry myself and I hear loud knocking downstairs.
"What are you doing here, leave!" Johanna yells.
" I need to see her." I hear his voice. I start to change quickly and Johanna begins to yell again," Get out of here, before I grab my axe."
"Johanna, please." He pleads. I have to get out of here. I start to cry and try to stay silent but it doesn't seem to work.
"She's not here." Johanna says.
"Let me in." he says and I hear sadness in his voice.
"She's not here!" Johanna yells and I accidentally slip into the bathtub.
"She's here, I need to talk to her Johanna." I hear him say and I start to panic. I don't want to see him , he's going to hit me again and he's going to get mad at me.
"Hey get out of my house!" I hear Johanna's yells.
"Katniss!" I hear his yells." Let me explain!"
I start to cry and start breathing heavily. I look around me and see a window. I open it and sit on it. I look down and see that the drop is very far. There's a tree beside the window though.
"Katniss, you have to listen to me." He says and I jump onto the tree. I get down from the tree and run all the way home.
Johanna's POV
" I told you she wasn't here." I say and he starts to cry loudly.
"I'm not an idiot, she climbed out the window." he says and sobs." She hates me, I hate me. It's all glimmer's fault!"
"What are you getting at?" I ask and cross my arms.
"I found out that I was injected with tracker jacker venom." He says and shows me the mark on his arm." Glimmer injected Katniss a month in a half ago."
"Are you lying to me?" I ask and scowl at him.
"I'm not, I swear." He says and gives me a paper." I went to the doctor's and they did a blood test on me."
I read the paper and my eyes widen.
"So, that wasn't you." I say and he shakes his head.
"I would never hurt her." He says.
"But you did." I say and he cries harder.
"Chill for a second man." I say and take him over to my kitchen. I get him a cup of water and he drinks it.
"I hate myself." He says and I shake my head.
"Peeta Mellark, you do not say that about yourself." I say and he has an angry look on his face.
"If I never would have gone out to help the customer I would still have Katniss. I wouldn't have gotten injected with venom, I wouldn't have shouted at Katniss or slapped her." He says and tears stream down his face." She hates me, and I don't blame her."
"She doesn't hate you peeta." I say and sit across from him.
"Everyone hates me except or you and thresh maybe." He says and wipes his tears.
"She doesn't hate you, I talked to her this morning and she's having a hard time moving on from you because she fell in love with you and she still is." I say and he looks shocked.
"She loves me?" He asks.
"Yes." I say and nod." You have to tell her what happened, but your going to have to get past Mr. Everdeen. He's going to be a tough nut to crack."
"He punched me really hard in the nose." He says and I see the cast on his nose.
I laugh and say," You were about to get sliced in half with my axe."
"Everyone's mad at me." He says.
"Let's fix that." I say and pull him out the house.
Katniss's POV
I'm crying really hard in my closet. I've been in here ever since I've arrived. My dad doesn't bother me at all because he knows I need some time alone. Prim tried to calm me down but I told her that I need sometime alone.
Two hours pass and I'm starting to fall asleep until I hear knocks downstairs. It's him. I need to hide. I get out of my closet and grab a pillow from my bed. I slide under my bed and I hear my father's voice downstairs. I hear a door close and I immediately relax.
My eyes start to close and I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. My heart starts to race and I begin to cry hard. My room door opens and I see that it's my fathers shoes. I star to relax and my dad says," Your under the bed Katniss."
I get out and he says," Don't freak out but Peeta is downstairs and he wants to talk to you."
"No," I say and shake my head. I start to cry and I yell," No!"
"Katniss, you have to listen to what he has to say, It's important." My dad says and I start crying harder.
"I don't want to see him!" I yell and cry." He told me the truth three days ago."
"Katniss he was-" My dad begins.
"Get him out!" I yell and start to shake violently.
"Sweetheart, look at me." My dad says and forces me to make eye contact with him." He didn't mean to hurt you."
I laugh coldly and say," I'm sure he didn't."
"Can you just do this for me." He says and I start to cry." Please."
"What if he hits me." I say and my dad shakes his head.
"I promise you he won't." He says and kisses my cheek." Don't cry."
Tears stream down my face and he leaves my room. He's bringing him up now. I grab my I pod and get under my covers and turn up the volume really high. I don't want to listen to him. He slaps me and now he wants to explain why he did it? That's pathetic.
I continue to cry and sob as I listen to Carrie underwood singing Cowboy Casanova. When the songs over I feel someone's presence behind me and I know it's him. I start to shake and he places a hand on my shoulder. I slap his hand off and run to the other side of the room. I see that his eyes are red and puffy, good let him suffer.
"Katniss, can you please let me explain?" He asks and I see tears streaming down his cheeks.
"I think you did, three days ago at the bakery." I say and head towards the door but he grabs my arm and pulls me towards him.
"Let me go!" I cry and fight him.
"Please let me explain." he cries and I feel his tears hitting my forehead.
"Get away from me, and go to your girlfriend." I say and leave his arms.
I see him lay on the floor and he starts to cry.
"I was injected with venom Katniss." Peeta says and cries." I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't mean anything I did."
"You expect me to believe that." I say and wipe my tears." You were all over glimmer, if you hated me so much you could've just told me."
"I don't hate you Katniss, I love you more than an-" He begins and I laugh coldly.
"Now you love me, she probably left you and now you come crawling back." I say and tears stream down my face.
"I never loved her, it was always you." Peeta says and gets up. He walks towards me and I scoot away from.
"Don't you dare come near me." I say and sob.
"I'm not going to hurt you." He says abit sad.
"I once believed you, now I don't." I say and turn towards the door.
"Katniss, I have a paper from a doctor that shows you I was injected with it." He says and gives me a paper.
"Anybody could have written that." I say and shove the paper back to him.
"What will make you believe me Katniss, I was injected with venom. Glimmer injected me with it." Peeta says and shows me his arm. I see a small dot on his arm and I turn towards the door. He's lying.
"Please, believe me Katniss." his voice cracks. It kills me to see him like this but It's for the best. He's lying to me.
"Have a nice life peeta." I say and tears stream down my face as I run downstairs and out the house.
