Katniss's POV

We arrive at the hotel and Johanna shakes her head.

"Just take me home," She begs between sobs.

"Are you-" Annie begins.

"I said I want to go home!" Johanna yells.

I turn the car around and drive home.

Peeta's POV

"We fucked up," Finnick says with a sigh.

" You fucked up," Gale says in a low voice.

"I did not fuck up," Finnick declares.

"Yes you-" They begin to argue but I stop them.

"Stop!" I order. The check is nearly three thousand dollars. I'm obviously going to pay, because Finnick and Gale only have five hundred dollars on them.

The waiter comes and I give her my credit card. I'm going to find Katniss.

"I need to find Annie," Finnick says.

"I need to find Johanna," Gale says.

The waiter comes back with my credit card and my receipt.

"Call me?" She asks. I see her number is on the receipt.

"I'm in a happy relationship," I tell her and sign my name on the receipt. I hand it to her and leave.

Katniss's POV

We get to the house and Johanna doesn't stop crying. I don't blame her. I know how it feels to have your heart broken.

My phone starts to ring. I see it's from Peeta but I don't feel like talking to him.

Annie gives me a sad smile before her phone starts ringing.

She turns off her phone and I do the same with mine.

Johanna, however, leaves her phone on.

"Make that asshole waste his time," She mutters. She turns to Annie and asks," What did Finnick do to you?"

"He was flirting with the girl," Annie spits in anger." Doesn't the girl know we're getting married? He announced it to the whole fucking restaurant!"

This proves Annie has hung out with us a lot. She never curses.

"What did Peeta do?" The girls turn to me.

" When I was beating the girl up, he told me to calm down," I say and the girls give me an annoyed look. " What?" I question.

"That's stupid," Annie says." He was just trying to calm you down before you killed her."

"It sounded like he liked the kiss!" I yell.

"He didn't," Johanna says." I know Peeta."

"Yeah, so do I," Annie says." At least talk to him. He's the only guy out of the three of them that didn't do nothing wrong."

"I'll talk to him if you guys talk to Finnick and Gale," I tell them and they shake their heads in response." Then I guess we're going to have to wait."

"Talk to him," Johanna glares at me.

"No," I say.

"Please do it for us!" Annie says, frustrated.

"Fine. I'm calling gale." Johanna rolls her eyes. She picks up her phone and dials what I assume is Gale's number. The phone rings for a while before we hear a voice on the other end." Hey Peeta, Katniss wants to talk to you-"

"You-" I begin.

"Mhm, here you go." Johanna hands me the phone. I cross my arms and she rolls her eyes. She puts me on speaker and says," Peeta, your girlfriend is being stubborn so I put you on speaker."

"Who is it?" I hear the guys in the back round. They sound desperate.

"Katniss, I'm sorry. I tried to push her away but she didn't move," Peeta says. I saw that." Please forgive me."

There's silence. I sigh. I hate to admit this but Johanna and Annie are right.

I take the phone from Johanna's hands.

I take him off speaker and go into my room.

"That's not what I was pissed about," I snap.

"Then what was it? Whatever I did, I'm sorry," He apologizes.

"I snapped when you told me to calm down," I say." It sounded like you were defending her."

"I wasn't; I just heard someone say they were going to the police and I freaked out. I didn't want you to go to jail," He says, panicked.

"I'm sorry," I say honestly." I love you, and I won't be sleeping with you tonight. I have to be here for Annie and Jo."

"It's ok, I understand. I love you, too. Be safe," He says.

"Peeta..." Tears begin to form in my eyes." I-"

What's wrong with me?

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"I-" I burst into tears.

"Hey, it's ok," He says soothingly.

"No." I shake my head and get up. I loose my balance on the heels and hit my head on the side of the bed. I let out a pained yell and realize Johanna's phone battery has died.

Peeta's POV

"Katniss?" I say into the phone after hearing her scream in pain.

" Katniss!" I yell in terror.

"What's wrong?" the guys ask.

The phone goes dead and I step on the gas.

"What's wrong?" Gale asks.

"She was crying and then she yelled in pain," I say. I don't even know where she is. Jo's house is the first thing that comes to mind.

Katniss's POV

"You're such a klutz," Johanna sniffs.

Annie is putting a bandage above my brow. I have a small scratch with a big bruise.

"Stupid heels," I mutter and take them off. I was going to fall eventually.

"Let's watch a movie," Johanna proposes.

"A chick flick," Annie suggests.

"How about a comedy?" I ask.

"Okay," Annie says. She's been abit depressed since all that happened in the restaurant.

"First tell us what went down with Peeta," Johanna demands.

"Everything's good," I say. Then I remember the phone turned off when I was yelling. Crap! Peeta must be freaking out.

"I need to call peeta," I say with urgency.

Before I can pick up the house phone, there's a pounding on the door.

"Johanna are you there?" Peeta yells.

"I'm hiding! I don't want to face Gale or Finnick," Johanna whispers and Annie nods.

"You will-" I begin but they glare." Fine, go hide."

They run to my room and I open the door.

Before I can open my mouth to say something, Peeta has me pinned against the wall, kissing me fiercely. He pulls away and studies my fore head.

"Are you ok?" he asks.

"I just tripped on those stupid heels," I say and he chuckles.

He gives me a longer kiss and I wrap my arms around his neck.

" I'm sorry," I say.

" You have nothing to be sorry about. I'm the one that should be apologizing," Peeta says sincerely.

"But I-" I begin.

"Shut up and bang already!" Johanna yells from the room. I turn beet red but Peeta gives me a quick kiss.

"Remember what I said," He whispers in my ear and I nod.

"Where's Johanna? I heard her!" Gale comes racing into the house.

"Gale, get out!" I point at the door. I'm pissed at him and Finnick.

"No, not until -" he begins but Finnick comes racing into the house too.

"Annie, I'm sorry I-" He begins.

"Get out!" I point to the door.

"Guys, come on," Peeta says.

Johanna runs out her room and throws phone books at their faces.

"Get out of my fucking house, you ass holes!" She yells with glassy eyes.

"Johanna-" Gale begins but she slaps him.

" It's over," She snarls. I just stand there shocked, not knowing what to do.

She pushes him out the house, then turns to Finnick.

"Get out," She hisses.

"Jo-" He begins but she shakes her head.

"No, you hurt Annie's feelings. She needs some time alone," Johanna points to the door.

"I need to-" he begins but Johanna shoves him out the house.

She turns to Peeta and slaps him.

"Next time, quit being a gentleman and shove the bitch off your lap," She mutters and goes to her room.

I give Peeta a kiss on the cheek, right where Johanna slapped him.

"I'll see you soon," I say and he nods.

He gives me a long kiss and sighs,angrily.

"What?" I ask him.

"I won't get to rip that dress off you," He says, pained.

"Did you not like it? I can-" I begin but he kisses me hungrily.

"No, I love it. You should wear it more often," He says." It's just-"

"It turns you on?" I ask him and he turns red. He nods awkwardly.

"I need to go," he says when the guys start to make their ways towards peeta's car." I need to make sure they don't do something they might regret."

"Sure," I say and give Peeta a long kiss." I love you."

He places a kiss on my bruise and bandage.

"I love you, too," He says." Put some ice on that."

"I will," I say and give him another kiss.

"Peeta! Take me to the fucking bar!" Gale yells.

"Please, take care of him. He's like a brother to me and I don't want him to get hurt," I say and he nods." Finnick, too. I may only have known him for a couple of months but he's like a brother as well."

"I will, don't worry." He gives me a peck on the cheek.

I watch as he leaves. When he drives away, I close the door.

Peeta's POV

8 minutes later..

"I said no," I say and park the car in the driveway of my house.

"Why not?" Gale yells like a child. He's clearly pissed off.

"You're going to do something you might regret!" I yell at him.

"And what is it that I would regret? I regret a lot of things!" He yells. Finnick is staring at the ceiling blankly.

"I know what you're going through. When I broke up with Katniss, I felt like shit." I admit.

"I'm going over to Haymitch's." Gale gets out the car and Finnick follows.

I sigh and get out. I told Katniss I would look after them.

Katniss's POV

Johanna's crying her eyes out, along with annie.

Peeta's POV

Hours later...

Gale and Finnick are drunk. Haymitch is singing to his bottle of alcohol.

"Okay, lets go get you guys home." I stand up.

"No!" Finnick yells and pees himself. Shit.

Gale points at Finnick and laughs. Haymitch laughs and dumps the alcohol all over himself.

"Okay, come on." I say and help Finnick and Gale up.

"Peeta, I love you, man." Gale says and hugs me.

"Okay." I pat him on the back." Let's go home."

"I wasn't kissing the chick on my lap. I grabbed her hips to pull her away." Gale says. I know he's telling the truth even though he's drunk. You can tell by the hint of sadness in his voice that he's being honest.

"I know, buddy. Come on." I say.

"I don't feel good," Finnick slurs.

"I-" I begin but Finnick throws up on me.

"You look like a rainbow." Gale laughs and I sigh. I try to ignore the smell coming from my shirt.

"I'll be back to check on you." I tell Haymitch and help the boys to my house.

Katniss's POV

Johanna and Annie are asleep. There are tubs of ice cream all around them.

I put the covers up to their chins and walk out the room. I dial peeta's number and he doesn't answer until the fifth ring.

"Hello." He says stressed and I hear laughter in the back round.

"I just wanted to see how everything is going," I ask him.

"It's going great." He says and I hear him running.

"Are you sure?" I bite my lip nervously.

"I'm- Gale, don't pee there- fine," He says, trying to reassure me.

"Okay." I drop it and hang up. I'm going over to his house.

I grab my car keys and put on my leather jacket. I haven't had time to get out of my dress but I refuse to wear those uncomfortable heels. I'll just wear my boots.

I slip them on and run to the car.

Peeta's POV

"He peed all over my roses!" The woman yells.

"I'm sorry!" I try to get Gale inside. He's butt naked.

Finnick comes out wearing one of Katniss's bra's on his head.

I sigh and drag gale with me towards Finnick. I grab him and go inside the house.

"I look like Katniss!" Finnick exclaims and puts a hand on his hip.

"Give me that," I say and snatch it. I quickly run upstairs and put it in her dwarer.

I go back downstairs and see that Gale is hugging the mop.

"I'm sorry baby, please take me back. I missed you so much, Johanna; its been years!" he yells.

I laugh abit and say," Gale, that's a mop."

He studies the mop and drops it. I throw his boxers at him and say," Put these on and go to sleep. I need to give Finnick a shower."

"You stink, too." He puts on his boxers.

I haven't had the time to take a shower of my own, so I just took off the vomit stained shirt and threw it in the washing machine.

I go towards Finnick and get him up off the floor.

"Lets go," I command and lead him towards the bathroom downstairs.

"Peeta, I don't miss Annie. I don't miss her kisses, or her hair or-" Finnick's voice cracks. He starts to sob uncontrollably." I miss Annie!"

"I know," I say and start the shower for him.

"I need to see her to make sure she's ok," He sobs.

"You can see her tomorrow," I tell him. There's knocking on the door." I'll be back. You stay here."

He nods and continues to cry.

I hear a yell. I run and I'm shocked at what I see.

Katniss's POV

Gale threw up all over me.

"You look pretty, Catnip," He told me before he passed out. I'm left with vomit all over my dress, jacket, and boots.

I feel my stomach turn.

"Why don't you go take a shower?" Peeta says and drags Gale on the couch.

I don't move.

"Kat?" Peeta calls. I feel the food rising. This is gross.

I run to the kitchen and throw up in the trash can. I finish and turn around.

"Peeta, can you unzip me?" I ask him.

"Okay," He says and I feel my back start to expose.

"Thanks," I say and remember I don't have a bra on." Where's Finnick?"

"In the bathroom downstairs," Peeta informs me. I drop the dress and step out of it, along with my boots.

I go to the bathroom in his room and quickly shower. When I'm done, I grab a towel and head outside. I change into my bra and underwear. I grab one of my v- neck shirts and some sweats.

I go downstairs and see that peeta is tucking Finnick into the bed pulled out from the couch. Gale is beside him, passed out.

"Leave her sore," finnick says before he goes to sleep.

Peeta turns red, and even more so when he sees me.

Before he opens his mouth I nod. He already told me.

I go up to Peeta and smell vomit.

"Peeta, go take a shower." I scrunch up my nose.

"I was planning on it." He chuckles. He leans down to give me a kiss but I shake my head. I forgot to brush my teeth." What's wrong?"

"I didn't brush my teeth," I mumble.

"I don't care," Peeta says.

"Go shower." I swat his chest.

He smiles and goes up the steps.

I hear the shower running. I sit down and think for a moment. I should go check on Haymitch. I go upstairs and put on my tennis shoes. I grab one of Peeta's hoodies and race out the door. When I get to Haymitch's, I see he's singing to a picture.

I go up to him and see it's a picture of a woman and a child. He has Haymitch's eyes and her light brown hair.

"His name was Abraham," Haymitch informs me drunkenly." He was just seven years old."

I sit on the couch and listen.

"It was snowing and Lisa and I were picking him up from school." His voice starts to crack." I was driving. I tried to stop the car but the brakes didn't work. It was a red light and we were going at least fifty miles per hour. The car drove ahead... and..and... we hit a semi truck."

Tears slip out of my eyes.

"I woke up and they told me that Lisa and Abe didn't make it," He starts to cry.

I wipe my tears and go up to him.

"It's my fault," He repeats over and over.

"No it's not," I say." It wasn't your fault."

"Yes it-" he cries.

"No it's not." I interrupt." You can't keep beating yourself up about this. The brakes didn't work. "

"I was driving," He says, angry at himself.

"Yes, but the brakes didn't work. What do you think Lisa would do if she saw you like this?" I tell him.

"She'd cry and tell me to stop for Abe," He says in a small voice.

"Then do it for Abe. "I tell him." They didn't leave you, Haymitch. They're with you, in your heart. They're watching over you."

He goes deep into thought for a moment.

" Are they buried here in the city?" I ask him and he nods." Why don't you take a shower, go to sleep, and tomorrow we'll go visit them at noon?"

He grunts a yes and gets up.

"The boy must be worried about you. You should go," He says and walks up the stairs.

I wipe my tears and run out of Haymitch's house. I go back to Peeta's and see that he's sitting down on the couch, sketching.

I silently close the door and say," Hey."

"Hey." He gives me a small smile and puts his sketch book down.

I take off my shoes and walk up the stairs. I place them by the bedside. I can't run the risk of these shoes getting thrown up on.

I feel some warm arms wrap around me.

"You okay?" Peeta asks with concern dripping off his voice.

"Yeah," I say with a weak smile. I turn around and place my head on his shoulder. His arms wrap around me and pull me close." I love you, Peeta."

"I love you, too," he says and gives me a kiss on top of my head.

"Please don't ever leave me," I beg and look up at him.

"I promise," he says before giving me a long kiss.

I tangle my hands in his hair and we fall back onto his bed.

"Promise you'll never leave me," He tells me.

"I promise," I say and we kiss again.
