Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games because if I did Jay would exist!

I wake to Peeta screaming and thrashing next to me. His eyes are clenched shut and sweat pours down his face, I'm used to his nightmares now but they still bring me to tears to see him like this.
'Peeta wake up. PEETA!' I scream at the top of my lungs, he sits bolt upright, his eyes wide and scared. He looks at me panting, with tears running down his face.
'Wha... What? Jay?'
'It's okay Peeta, you were having a nightmare. It's not real, you're safe now.' I reached out as far as I could and his hand reached over to meet mine, our fingers barely brushed each other we were that far apart and the tears continued to fall from his eyes. 'I'll keep you safe, I promise. Tell me what happened.' He shook his head and looked away from me, I could tell he was scared. I stared at him until he began to talk.
'I was in the games and I was hiding from the careers in the bushes. She came up behind me and grabbed me by the hair and dragged me to the water. She held my head under until I felt like I was going to explode, I couldn't breathe and my lungs felt like they were full of lead. Her eyes, so full of evil.'

I lay down and listened to him, he was becoming more and more scared of Katniss. Every night they got worse and worse, she started out just chasing him through the forest and then she would hit him and now. I rolled over to look at him again.
'It isn't real, you know that right? Katniss isn't evil, you love her Peeta. You would do anything to save her, I've seen you do it.' He shook his head like he always did when I started talking about her, he believed me at first but with every passing day he lost a part of himself that I'm sure he'd never really get back.

'What do you remember of home Peeta? You always ask me, what do you remember?' He looked off into the distance for a while and his face scrunched up like it always did when he was concentrating really hard.
'I remember my family, my parents, I have two brothers. Micheal and James. We live in a bakery, I like to decorate the cakes, it's what I'm really good at as well as painting.' He stops and doesn't say anything else,
'Is painting your talent?'
'Yes, do you have one?'
'No, I never had the chance. I didn't win remember, you did. But if I was going to have one it would probably be fishing, I think it's the only thing I actually know how to do. But it isn't anything special, everyone can fish where I'm from and even then they all have special talents that go along with it. Like Mags, she can make fishing hooks out of anything it's like magic.'
'So if you were never in the games you'd become a fisherman?' I laughed and Peeta managed a smile,
'Everyone in my District is a fisherman so yes, I guess I would be. I'd be living in some little cottage by the ocean and probably married to my best friend Toby. I mean that's how I always saw my life. But now the most I can hope for is to get out of this hole, I don't know what'll happen after that.'
'I think you're life will be everything you've ever wanted.' I smiled sadly as a tear rolled down my cheek.
'We should get some sleep, you never know what they'll try tomorrow.'
I wanted to put more of their friendship in because I didn't think I covered it enough in the last chapter. For the people who think it's getting too sad I promise that'll stop soon. Review and fav, it means a lot
