Katniss's POV
I wake up and I feel that the straps have loosened around my wrists and ankles.
"It would be nice, to be able to brush my teeth!" I yell and a door opens.
Two buff nurses come in and they take off my straps. I go to a corner and start to brush my teeth. When I'm done, I say," I'm hungry."
A nurse whispers something to another nurse, and a man leaves the room. I sit on my bed and I ask," Is my Uncle here?"
"Haymitch Abernathy?" He asks and I nod." He's at his house. He should be here soon."
"Oh." I frown.
"We have some stuff for you, you're friends and family bought you." He says.
"I don't have friends." I say confused.
"You do have friends, you just don't remember." He says and people carry in all sorts of bears and cards, with balloons.
Peeta's POV
I wake up and get ready for school. Haymitch promised me he would tell me everything when I go to the bakery. I still don't know how cooking food that Katniss liked is going to help Katniss bring her memories back. It's just food.
I grab my car keys and back pack. I jog downstairs and head into the garage.
"Peeta, you have to eat." My mom calls after me.
"I'm not hungry." I call back.
"Peeta Mellark! You're not leaving this house without an empty stomach!" She yells and I go back into the kitchen. This is the first time my mom's yelled at me In her nice mode.
I sit at the kitchen table and she serves me a plate of pancakes with bacon. She places some chocolate milk beside the plate and I grab a fork and start to eat. The food doesn't taste as good as It once did.
"Peeta, I know you miss her, but this can't continue." My mom says." You barely slept for 24 hours in three weeks, you haven't eaten a lot either."
"I'll be fine mom." I assure her.
She sighs and says," We're worried about you."
"Mom, I'm fine." I say and take a drink of chocolate milk.
"Just, at least try to pay attention in school. I'll see you at the bakery." my mom says and the end of her sentence cracks. I know she's crying.
"Mom, I promise you I'm fine." I say and give her a hug.
She sobs once and wipes her tears.
"She's going to be back peeta." She says and smiles at me." I promise you."
Katniss's POV
Most of the bears I've checked are from Effie. My uncle was right, she bought me almost the whole store.
I reach a teddy bear and It looks familiar. It's holding a rose on one hand. I lift it up and it smells like cinnamon. I pull the bear back and examine it. Why does this damn bear look familiar.
I see there's a card with it so I grab it. I open it and it says four words.
Remember our first date
-P
First Date? Date? I went on a date?
I sit on my bed and hug the bear close. I look down at the rose and then I remember everything of a date. I seemed really happy in that memory. But it's the same boy with the blue eyes and blonde hair. He looks so kind.
That must've been before he flipped out on me.
"Everdeen, you're breakfast is ready." A voice calls. I turn around and see the two strong men carrying in a cart." You get to choose, what you want."
He opens three trays and I see on one plate they have pancakes and hot chocolate. I remember then that Peeta cooked annie, finnick, rue, prim and I this. Peeta! That's his name! He's the one with the blonde hair and blue eyes! He's the one that attacked me! Who are Annie, Finnick and rue though?
On another tray, I see there's a sandwich with chips. I was with Peeta! Then there's rye! I think that's his brother's name because he looks sort of like peeta.
The last tray has a stack of cheese buns with milk. I remember I'd always stop by the Mellark bakery and buy cheese buns. Peeta would never let me pay though. One time he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. Why would I say yes if he did this to me? Or was it even him? I need answers.
"When is my uncle getting here?" I ask one of the nurses.
"After breakfast." He says." What do you want to eat?"
"Cheese buns." My instincts tell me. I grab the plate of cheese buns and milk. I eat my cheese buns and they take the cart away. I finish up my milk and put it on a small night stand.
" Mrs. Everdeen, we have someone who'd like to talk about your memories with you." A voice booms and I feel angry.
"I'm fine!" I yell and I start to get strapped to the bed.
"No you're not." They tell me.
"Get me out of here!" I yell and try to fight the straps off.
"Calm down!" The nurses say and grab my ankles. He straps my ankles and I can't move at all.
A intelligent looking woman comes in and says," Hi Katniss, my names is doctor keran."
I stop struggling and say," What do you want?"
"I just want to talk some things with you. Help you gain your memories back." She says and sits on a chair. She takes out her notebook and pen. I see her hair is in a tight bun, and she has some sort of doctor coat on. She has a black dress on, with pantyhose." Shall we begin?"
"I have memories, I know everything." I say.
"You think you have al your memories but you don't." She says." Did you have any dreams last night?"
"I want to talk to my Uncle." I mutter.
"Mrs. Everdeen, you can talk to your uncle after our session." She says.
"I want to talk to him now!" I yell and try to fight the straps.
"Everdeen, either do what she says or you won't see you're uncle until tomorrow." The voice says and I curse.
"Did you have any dreams last night?" She asks.
"Yes." I mutter.
"Can you tell me what they were about?" She asks and clicks her pen.
"Why should I tell you?" I ask.
"I'm trying to help you get better, if you want to remember everything about yourself you better start telling me. If you don't then I can walk out that door and you stay forever like this." She says.
I sigh angry and start to tell her.
Peeta's POV
The teacher is giving a lesson about how everything was before panem. Finnick is sitting beside me, asleep.
I sigh and take out a pencil and my sketch book. I let my hand draw whatever it wants and by the time I'm done with my sketch I see that I drew Katniss.
Her beautiful braid, her smile, her grey eyes, her slightly long bangs, and the look of warmth in her eyes.
I feel my eyes starting to water.
"Mr. Mellark." The teacher says and I look up and see everyone's looking at me. Finnick gives me a sad look and I say," What?"
"I said if you're alright, you seemed lost in thought." The teacher says.
"Yeah." I say and slam my sketch book shut.
"I heard that Everdeen hooked up with a rapist." I hear a guy say and I see red. I walk up to him and punch him. There's gasps all around the room.
"SHE DID NOT! YOU DON'T SAY THAT EVER!" I yell and people try to get me to stop punching him.
Katniss's POV
"It looks like we've made some progress from yesterday." Doctor keran says and shoots me a proud smile.
"Did Peeta do this to me?" I ask and she shakes her head.
"No, he didn't. From what I heard he loves you too much, to do that." The lady says and smiles.
"Then why did I see that in my dream?" I ask and she frowns.
"Katniss, dear, I want you to remember why, yourself." She says and replaces her frown with a smile.
"Fine." I mutter." Why am I like this then? Who did it?"
"Someone will tell you when you're strong enough, if you don't remember." She says and puts her pen in her coat.
"I'm strong enough now." I say abit offended.
"No, you're not dear." She says." You can be strong physically, but currently we don't think you are emotionally."
The rest of the week, I remember abit more about my lost memories. I remember abit about some people and abit about some events that happened.
I'm sitting alone in bed. I got moved to a different room, everything is white and there's a camera watching me. I have a window, that can't break, with a small seating area. I usually sit there and look outside, studying people and the outside world. It's been snowing a lot lately. I like watching it snow, it's relaxing.
"Can I see my sister?" I ask minutes later." I miss her."
"Not yet." Someone says.
"She's my sister, I haven't seen her for a week!" I yell but it's more like a month.
"Ma'am." Someone says but I hear someone behind them say something.
"Just let her see her sister , dude." I hear.
"Let me make a phone call." He says and I get excited.
I go to the seating area and sit down. I look outside and smile for the first time. I'm going to see prim! This is so great! I see an ambulance car arrive and they start getting a injured man into the hospital. I see that there's someone with a camera in the bushes pointed towards my direction. How long have they been there?
"Um, can you please tell that man, to stop pointing a camera at me." I say.
"Ok." Someone replies and I look outside again. Minutes later I look down and see a nurse escorting the man from the bushes. I see he's yelling something and the nurse says something back which gets him angrier. The man eventually leaves.
I rest my head on the cool glass and look up at the clouds. It's starting to snow again.
I look down and see a man with dark hair guiding a girl with blonde hair into the hospital. I sigh and look at something else. I see a deer in the distance with it's small child. I smile and see them walk around for abit but they leave minutes later.
"Everdeen, visitor." A voice booms and I jump abit. A door opens and I turn around and see it's prim.
"Prim!" I yell and tears escape my eyes. I run over to her and hug her really tight.
"I missed you Katniss." She sobs into my clothes.
"I did too." I say and stroke her hair.
"Everyone misses you, especially peeta. He-" She begins but is cut of by the man in the speaker.
"No talking about that. She's not ready for it." The voice booms and I roll my eyes.
"How is everything Katniss?" She asks and gives me a small smile. She's trying to not get us in trouble.
"I'm fine, everything's pretty quiet. I miss hunting." I say and smile. We sit on the small seating are and she says," What do you do?"
"Everyday is the same really. I talk to a doctor about my memories and dreams, eat, I use the bathroom, I shower, I talk to Haymitch through that speaker thing, and the rest of the time I just look out the window and watch until I go to sleep." I say and prim looks like she's about to cry.
"Don't cry , little duck." I say and hug her.
"I'm sorry." She says and sniffs." I brought you something."
"Really?" I ask.
She nods and says," Two things actually."
"Ok." I smile.
"I brought you your I pod, because I know how much you love to listen to your music. And I bought you a mocking jay pin." She says and hands me my I pod and pin.
"Thank you." I say and kiss her fore head.
"Visiting time is over." The voice says and tears escape my eyes.
Two men come in and escort prim out.
"I love you!" I call after her.
"I love you too!" She calls and the door shuts.
I turn around to the window and cry. Why do I have to be kept in here? Why can't I just go home?
I rest my head on the window and put on my ear phones. I listen to music and examine my pin. It's so beautiful. It's a mocking jay with an arrow in it's mouth.
Slowly, I drift off to sleep. I wake up with something rough shaking me. I open my eyes and see it's my Uncle.
"Get up, I'm taking you home." He says.
"Really?" I say.
"Yeah, you're not going to get you're memories back in here." He says and I hug him." Let's go, prim is waiting for you outside."
"Thank you." I say and pull away. I don't have anything with me, just a pair of clothes I was sent from home, that I use everyday. I grab my I pod and pin.
"You have to meet up with a doctor everyday, though." he says.
"Ok." I say and smile. We head outside and my uncle signs a paper.
"Oh, Mr. Abernathy, those bruises she has will disappear within another week or two, and her ribs are healing so make sure she doesn't do anything to hurt herself. Her nose cast will come off in a week. The bandage on her wrist will come off in two weeks. It will leave a scar but we have some treatment from the capital that should make her skin look as good as new." the doctor says.
"Thanks." My uncle says and gets me out the hospital. When we're down on the first floor my uncle says," There's a lot of photographers out there, I don't know how the hell they know that you're leaving today. They will be asking questions, don't answer any. Ignore whatever they say."
"Ok." I say and he grabs my wrist." Is it snowing?"
"yeah, but there's a heater in the limo." He says. We go outside and there's a lot of blinding lights.
"Katniss!" I hear all over the place and I begin to freak out.
"Katniss, what was going through you're mind when you were helping the police?" A news reporter asks me.
"I was helping police?" I ask and my uncle tries to pull me further.
"Mrs. Everdeen you're now live! Tell us, what was going through your mind when you are almost raped again?!" Someone yells.
"What did you say?" I asked shocked.
"You were almost raped again!" he yells over the loudness.
"I was almost raped?" I ask my uncle and he pushes me inside the limo.
When he shuts the door I say," I was almost raped?"
"Katniss, I was given specific instructions to let you remember everything." My Uncle says." You remember your father?"
"Yeah, we made up." I say looking at him unsure." I remembered in my dreams."
"Well he's living with us." He says.
"Ok." I say." Are you living with us too?"
"I'm staying for a couple of weeks." He says.
"Can you just tell me what they were talking about?" I ask.
"Katniss, I want to tell you, but the doctor's don't want me too." He says and I sigh.
"I don't get it, I remember everyone." I huff." I remember that Peeta and I were together, Finnick is a flirt, Annie is Finnick's girlfriend, Peeta's has two brothers called rye and wheat, c-"
"I know you remember some stuff but the doctor's have a theory that If I tell you what happened myself, you will expect us to tell you more. You have to do this yourself sweetheart. I can help you but I can't tell you." He says.
"Fine." I huff." Can I still go hunting?"
"Yeah." He says." But there's going to be people following you around."
"So, I'll yell at them to scram." I say and he chuckles.
"You're still Katniss." He says." Except more beaten up."
"Will there be more reporters at my house?" I ask.
"Yep, and it's going to be worse, so ignore everything they tell you or ask you." He says and I nod.
I feel the car stop and I hear a helicopter and telling outside.
"She's here!" I hear people yell.
"Look, just ignore them. When we get inside, I'll have Boggs escort them." He says and I nod.
"Why do they care so much about me?" I ask.
"you'll understand later." He says and I nod. He grabs onto my wrist and opens the door. There's a lot of flashing lights and there's a lot of yelling.
"Katniss! Katniss! Over here!" I hear lot's of people yell.
"Katniss, tell us about the snow!" I hear someone yell.
"Katniss, tell us about your boyfriend peeta Mellark!" I hear someone else yell.
I feel like I want to run away.
"Uncle." I say and my voice cracks.
"MOVE YOUR ASSES!" My uncle yells and a lot of cameras are on me,
"Katniss, is it true you're pregnant with snow's kid?!" I hear someone ask and I remember who snow is. He's a man who almost raped me. Twice. But I don't know where he is now.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yell and break down.
"Mrs. Everdeen you are so beautiful! Strike a pose!" Some one yells.
"I am here ,live, at Katniss Everdeen's house, where Mrs. Everdeen appears to be having a mental break down." I hear a news reporter say and I cover my ears and go on the floor. I squeeze my eyes shut and tears stream down my face.
"Katniss!" I hear people yell.
I continue to cry but keep my ears covered. I feel myself being carried and I hear yells of a different name.
"Peeta Mellark! how are you dealing with you're girlfriend not knowing who you are!" I hear.
"Peeta, over here!" I hear yells.
"Peeta! Is it true about Katniss's pregnancy?!" I hear.
I hum, and do everything I can to block out those noises.
"Katniss, take your hands off your ears." I hear my uncle say.
I start to shake and my eyes are still shut tight.
"Katniss, your safe now. No one can get you." I hear a soft voice. It calms me down abit but I don't want to see the cameras. I feel someone's warm arms wrap around me and say soothing words to me.
I slowly remove my hands from my ears and open my eyes.
"Boggs got everyone to leave." I hear my uncle say.
"They deserve to die, look what they put on T.V." Prim says.
"Peeta, take Katniss upstairs." I hear a male voice.
I feel myself being carried up the stairs and I look up at Peeta. It's my first time meeting him. He has really pretty eyes.
"Thank you." I say as he carries me into my room.
"No Problem." He says and gives me a sad smile.
"They better not follow me into the woods, or there will be one less of them." I say and he laughs.
He sets me down on my bed and I look in his eyes and see their filled with sadness.
"You're sad?" I ask.
"No." He says and shakes his head, putting the covers around me.
"Yes you are." I say.
"I'm fine, get rest." He says and goes to the door.
"I know who you are." I say and he freezes in his steps." I have dreams about you sometimes. I talk to my doctor about them and she tells me they're memories. So you must have been my boyfriend."
"Yeah." He says and closes my door.
Haymitch's POV
"We have some breaking news." A news reporter says." We have just gotten word that Katniss Everdeen was having a mental breakdown outside her house."
It shows the video of Katniss breaking down.
"It must be because of her pregnancy, It's absolutely normal." Someone says.
"I think that you guys should leave her the fuck alone. She's obviously having a tough time." A girl says.
"When asked about snow and her pregnancy, she ignored every single question." The news reporter says." A witness claims that he heard Everdeen mumble a yes when asked about her pregnancy. If it happens to be that Katniss Everdeen is pregnant, how will her boyfriend peeta Mellark react?"
"Poor girl." A man says" Did you see that way how bruised she was?"
"She looked broken." His news reporter buddy says." So sad."
"Look on the bright side! We'll have an amazing seven day for cast! Ron, how's it looking out there!" It switches to the weather reporter.
Jackson turns off the T.V. and says," I think it was a bad Idea to have her leave the hospital. Now they're going to be tormenting her with questions."
"She'll get more memories here though." I say.
"Look what they're saying about her!" Prim yells and tears slip out her eyes." This is going to continue! And when they kill snow, it's going to get worse!"
"She's right Haymitch." Jackson says." I love Katniss, but If this is how It's going to be everyday for her, staying here, I would rather have her be in the hospital where no one is asking about her. Or taking her pictures.'
"Just give it a chance, Boggs is doing everything he can to get them away from sweetheart." I say.
"Fine." He says.
"Who do they think they are!" Prim yells and stomps up to her room. Peeta comes down with tears in his eyes and he says," I'll come back tomorrow."
"What's wrong boy?" I ask.
He smiles abit and says," She remembers me."
He leaves the house with a small smile on his face and I let out a small laugh.
Katniss's POV
I have another dream that night. Well it's more than one. I don't know how many but they made me happy.
I wake up and see that I'm not in the hospital anymore. I look at my window and see that it has curtains in front of them. I open them and see that there's a house beside mine. I remember that's where peeta lives, his room is across from mine. Maybe I should go over and say hi.
I quickly change and braid my hair. I put on a coat and run downstairs. I see that Prim, my dad, and Haymitch are in the kitchen.
"hey." I say and give everyone a kiss on the cheek.
"Where are you going?" My dad asks.
"I just want to go say hi to peeta." I say.
"You like him don't you." Prim teases.
"No I don't." I say and feel myself blush.
"Yes you do." She says and everyone smirks at me.
"No I don't." I say and go towards the door." Are those camera people going to be outside?"
"No, Boggs said if they come near you, they'll get fined." Haymitch says and I leave the house. I walk over to peeta's and knock on the door.
"Coming!" I hear an annoyed voice. That must be wheat! That's wheat!
He opens the door and his eyes widen.
"Katniss, what are you doing here?" He asks.
"I wanted to say hi to peeta." I say and feel myself blush.
"Oh, so you have a crush on my brother huh." He says.
"No!" I say." I just want to say hi and thank him again for what he did yesterday, those photographers are stupid."
"Ok, he's getting changed, but come inside, I want you to meet some people." He says.
"Ok." I say and go inside the house. It's just as It was in my dream.
He leads me to a living room and I see rye, and a older woman and man.
"Hey looked who stopped by." Wheat says.
"Hi Katniss." The woman says and smiles.
"Hi." I say and I think I know her." Did I know you?"
"Oh, I'm peeta's mom." She says." This is peeta's dad."
"Oh." I say and I remember they own the bakery." You guys own the Mellark bakery."
"yeah." They say.
"Do you remember me?" Rye asks.
"Yeah, you're rye. Peeta's brother." I say." I remember you were embarrassing him about something. But I don't really remember."
"It's ok, you will eventually." He says.
"Peeta, come downstairs or I'll tell Katniss what happened at finnick's fourteenth birthday party!" Wheat yells.
"That happened years ago wheat!" I hear peeta yell.
"Still!" Wheat yells." What's taking so long anyways you're going to be late for school!"
"I'm putting on my shoes!" Peeta yells back.
"Just go up there, scare the heck out of him." Wheat says.
"Where's his room?" I ask. Then I remember where it is.
"It's-" He begins.
"Never mind, I remembered." I say and head up the stairs. I see a familiar door and I look in and see peeta is slipping on his shoes.
One...
Two...
"BOO!" I yell and he yells.
He looks shocked and he says," Katniss? What are you doing here?"
"I came to say hi." I say." Hi."
"Hi." He says and smiles.
"Hi." I say awkwardly and he laughs. What am I supposed to do next? I got along with him so well in my dreams.
"Huh." I say and see he has some sort of sketch book open." You draw?"
"Oh, uh, yeah." He says nervously. I walk over to the book and see it's a drawing of little kids building a snow man.
"It's beautiful." I say and reach over to turn the page but he stops me.
"I don't think you should." He says and grabs the sketch book.
"Why not?" I ask and cross my arms.
"It's- sort of private." He says.
"If you draw naked women and men, I won't judge." I say and he looks shocked.
"No, I don't." He says and I jump on him," You're going to hurt you're ribs."
"I want to see what you're hiding from me." I say and reach for the book.
"It's not worth getting hurt." He says and we crash into a wall, knocking down a lamp.
He stretches his arm high and I grab his arm and try to get the book.
"I won't laugh, I swear." I say.
"You'll think I'm weird." He says and we knock something else down.
"I promise I won't." I say and grab the book and jump off him.
"Katniss, give me that!" Peeta yells and chases me around the house.
I look through the sketches and see they're all of me. I'm doing some thing different every time. I actually remember doing some of these things he drew. In one picture we're in a cave and I remember that. When I'm done, I stop and turn around to see he's breathless. He's panting and I say," This isn't weird, this is beautiful."
"Really? you're not mad?" He asks and I shake my head.
"No. I actually remembered something." I say and hand him his book.
"What did you remember?" He asks.
"The days we spent in the cave." I say and leave the room we ran into. I head downstairs and I call," Have fun at school peeta!"
I hear him groan and I smile. When I reach the bottom of the stairs and I see everyone is smirking at me.
"What?" I ask.
They shake their heads and I remember that I have a job. I'm a cashier. Mr. Mellark is my boss.
"Am I still working as a cashier?" I ask him.
"What?" He asks shocked.
"You know, am I still working as one?" I ask.
"If you want to." He says.
"Yeah, I'll go there after I have my session with my doctor." I say and leave the house.
"Bye Katniss!" I hear rye and wheat call.
"Bye!" I yell back and walk back to my house.
I get in my house and I see that doctor keran is here. She's talking to dad, uncle Haymitch, and prim.
"Hi." I say and enter the living room.
"Hi." Doctor Keran says.
"Can we do this in my room?" I asked.
"Ok." She says and I motion for her to follow me. We go up to my room and I sit in my bed.
She closes the room door and takes a seat.
"Katniss, can I just clear up that you are not pregnant." She says.
"I know." I say." I remembered who snow was yesterday."
"Do you want to talk about that?" She asks.
"Ok." I say and start.
Peeta's POV
"What was that all about?" Rye asks as I eat my breakfast.
"She wanted to see my sketch book." I say and blush.
"What was her reaction when she saw the pictures?" My dad asks." About her, I know you draw her all the time peeta."
I blush and say," She remembered something."
"What did she remember?" My mom asks.
"She remembered the days we spent together in the cave." I say and smile.
"That's good." My dad says.
"She seems to be remembering things quickly." My mom says.
"She's coming back to you peeta." Wheat says and I smile." You should have seen her when I asked if she had a crush on you. She blushed really bad and said no."
I smile abit and continue to eat my food.
Katniss's POV
We finish an hour in a half later and Doctor keran says," Katniss, you're showing a lot more progress than you did at the hospital."
"Really?" I ask and smile.
"Yeah." She says." It seems that everything is coming to you really fast."
"That's great." I say.
"It is." She smiles and turns serious." Katniss, I want you to avoid watching the news."
"Why?" I ask.
"People aren't saying very great things about you, and If you watch it you'll get confused about yourself." She says.
"Ok, I won't watch the news. But why are people saying bad things about me? I never did anything to them." I say and scowl.
"I know, but," She sighs." I really wish I could tell you."
"Tell me." I say.
"I'll tell you sometime this week." She says." I know you have gotten stronger, but I want you to remember more things before I tell you."
"Ok." I say." I'm working at the Mellark bakery again."
"Katniss, I don't think that's a good idea." She says.
"Why not?" I ask.
"People are going to either leave you alone or they're going to say negative things about you. I think it's better if you stay home for awhile. Just until things calm down." She says.
"How am I going to tell Mr. Mellark I'm not going to be working today?" I ask.
"I'll tell him." She says and I nod." But If you ever need to go into town for something, don't listen to what people have to say."
"Ok." I say.
"Here's my card, if you ever need me." She says and hands it to me.
"Thank you." I say.
"You're welcome." She says.
"Can I still go hunting?" I ask.
"Sure, but just have someone with you if you feel uncomfortable going by yourself." She says.
"Ok, thank you." I say.
"You're welcome." She says and smiles." I'll see you tomorrow."
"Ok, bye." I say.
"bye." She says and walks out of the room.
A week passes by and I remember a lot of things. I remember a lot of stuff and peeta and I. I remember about my friends that I have here. I think I have remembered everything. Doctor Keran told me yesterday why people are being negative towards me and I didn't believe it at first. But when I had to go to town to buy prim some cold medicine, a lot of people called me a slut or a whore.
Peeta and I aren't together. I haven't asked him yet if we are or not, but it seems like we aren't. We do hang out a lot, but It's mostly at his house. He doesn't take me out to town or anything because he doesn't want me to get hurt. I remembered that peeta slapped me two times. One was because glimmer ( who was my enemy when I went to high school) Injected him with tracker jacker venom, and the other time was an accident. I also remembered that I was injected with tracker jacker venom too.
"What are you thinking of?" Peeta asks.
I'm sitting on his bed, letting him draw me.
"Of everything I remembered." I say and look at him. His blue eyes study me carefully.
"Ok." He says and goes back to drawing me.
"Are you almost done?" I ask.
"Almost." He says.
"Peeta, you've been saying that for the past ten minutes." I scowl.
He chuckles and says," I mean it this time."
"Ok." I say and play with the bed sheets. I get my cast tooken off tomorrow. It was supposed to get tooken off yesterday but the doctor said to wait two more days to make sure it's healed properly.
"Thanks for saving me." I say and he the pencil stops moving." I could've been raped."
"Katniss, I care too much about you, to let that even happen to you." He says and I feel my stomach flutter. Moments later his pencil starts to move again and he says," How are the ribs?"
"They bug me sometimes, but they're healing." I say.
"What about the wrist?" He asks.
"I haven't looked at it, I hear it's pretty bad." I say.
"It'll get better." He says." I'm done."
I walk over to him and look over his shoulder. I see a beautiful girl with a braid, she has a light scowl on her face, and she's lost in thought.
"Peeta, this looks nothing like me." I say and take the sketch book out his hands. I go into the restroom and turn on the lights. I look at the picture and look in the mirror. It's the same girl. I walk back into the room and hand peeta his sketch book.
"It's beautiful peeta, but I don't think I look like that." I say and he sighs.
"You're right." He says." Your more beautiful I person."
I blush and look at the floor.
"No I don't." I mutter and sit on his bed.
"Yes you do." He says and I feel myself blush more.
"Just stop." I mumble.
"Katniss, I don't know if this is a good thing to bring up right now but I need to tell you." Peeta says and I look over at him." I still have feelings for you."
I feel my heart beat racing and I don't say anything. I look at the floor and say," I have to go."
"Please don't, I-." Peeta panics.
"I just have a lot on my mind." I say." Goodnight."
"Goodnight." He says with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
I leave his room and close the door. I head towards the stairs and I stop. What the hell am I doing? I still have feelings for him too. I walk back to his room and open the door.
"Did you forget something?" He asks and looks around him.
"yes." I say and walk up to him. I put a hand on his neck and push his lips against mine. I can tell he's shocked at first because he responds seconds later by putting his hands on my lower back and pushing me closer. I wrap my arms around his neck and do the same. I instantly forget everything, and just focus on his lips. They're so soft. heck, I can't even remember my own name. I feel warmth in my stomach and I smile abit.
"Hey Peeta, I -" I hear and I jump back.
I see that wheat came into the room, and his eyes are wide.
"So, I'm going to go home." I say and release peeta.
"I'll walk you." Peeta says and I turn around and give him a smile.
"It's fine,Bye Peeta, wheat." I say and turn back around. I nearly run out of the house and when I get to mine, I close the door and start to giggle.
"What happened to you?" My dad asks.
"Nothing." I mumble and blush. I run upstairs sand close the door.
Haymitch's POV
"What's wrong with Katniss?" Prim asks.
"Peeta kissed her." I say and open a liquor bottle.
"She told you and she didn't tell me." She frowns.
"No, I can tell by the look on her face and how she was giggling." I say.
Katniss's POV
I lay down in my bed and just think about the way his lips felt against mine. I smile and all these memories come rushing back to me. It's all sort of fast forward but I know what I happened.
I sit up in bed and mumble," I remember everything."
"DAD! PRIM! UNCLE!" I yell really loud as I run downstairs.
"What!" I hear my dad's frantic yells.
"I remember everything!" I yell and he spins me around and kisses my cheek repeatedly.
"PRIM, HAYMITCH, GET IN HERE!" my dad yells and I hug him.
"What?" I hear prim yell frantic. My uncle runs into the room and trips, but quickly gets up.
"I remember everything!" I yell and we all hug. I pull away and say," I'm going to tell peeta!"
"You're going to freeze your ass off!" My uncle yells.
"Then I'll call him!" I yell and grab the phone. I punch in peeta's number in less than five seconds and It starts to ring. I start to jump and wheat picks up.
"Hello?" He says.
"WHEAT PUT PEETA ON THE PHONE!" I yell.
"Damn, fine, calm down crazy." He says and I hear him calling peeta.
Peeta's POV
"Peeta!" Wheat yells.
"What?" I yell back.
"There's a desperate Katniss on the phone!" He yells back." I think she made me go deaf."
I chuckle and run down the stairs. He I grab the phone from his hands and say," Hello?"
"PEETA I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!" She yells and I hear excitement in her voice.
"Say that again." I say. I must be dreaming.
"I REMEMBER EVERYTHING, PEETA! EVERYTHING!" She yells and I drop the phone. I run out the kitchen and I hear rye calling for me.
"Where the hell are you going?" I hear him say.
Katniss's POV
I hear something fall and the line goes dead. Is that bad news.
"Are you lying to me!" Peeta runs in to the room.
"No." I say and shake my head.
He lifts me up and spins me around and I squeal while holding onto his neck. When he puts me down he presses his lips against mine and I feel myself beginning to slip away again.
"Hey, no kissing." My uncle says and I hide my face in peeta's chest and blush.
"Just like old times." I hear my dad say.
"What's going on?" I hear several people come into the house.
I see that it's peeta's family and I tell them. They look happy and I hug them all. This is the best day ever. I got my memory back.
Author's Note: So I got done early with this chapter and I decided to put an end to your suffering.
