Gee whiz you guys are such romantics. And thats why i love ya! Don't worry there will be PeetaxKatniss... Soon. Probably next chapter... And I do sorry I havent updated! School just started on Monday! :'( DISCLAIMER: I do not own THG oh and next chapter will be in Peeta's POV

The alarm goes off, reds lights flash, and the ceiling fans are shaking.

"We're being bombed." Peeta says in a state of shock. I don't wait for him to come back to reality. I grab his hand, and run towards the hospital. People in uniforms are running down the hall.

"Code 13C! Code 13C!" I hear. I burst into the hospital doors, still clutching Peeta's hand in mine.

"PRIM! MOM!" I scream. I haven't seen them since I came.

"KATNISS!" Prim screams. The uniformed officials run through.

"Get to the bunkers!" they shout. I see Prim and my mother being directed into the bunkers. At the same time, Finn and Haymitch burst in.

"We gotta get everyone to the bunkers! Now!"'Finn screams. Peeta comes out of his shock.

"Katniss come on." he commands. Peeta guides me towards the crowd, where we go down a case of stairs, and into a large, secured room.

"Where's Prim and my mother?" I frantically ask.

"They're in the bunker right next to us." I look down at my hands. They were trembling.

"Peeta, I'm scared." I felt like such a sissy saying that. He wraps his arms around me and buries his nose in my hair. I rest my hands on his shoulders and put my forehead on the side of his neck. He smelt of cinnamon and vanilla. 'How soothing.' I thought.

"It's okay you'll be fine."

"It's not myself that I'm afraid of getting hurt, it's Prim." Peeta sighs.

"And that's why I love you." he whispers softly to himself. 'WHAT!?' I screamed in my head. 'No, this can't happen. I can't fall in love and no one can fall in love with me. I will NOT risk it.' I place my hands on Peeta's chest and push away from him.

"Katniss?..." I look into his eyes. His eyes no longer had that joy that sparkled. No, it was a combination of hurt, confusion, love... And regret. Before he could say another word I turned around and ran for and out the door. Officials told me to get back inside the bunker.

"PRIM!" I screamed. Then a booming explosion. Then blackness.

Blackness... Oh no! Anyway, sorry for the short chapter, (I hate them too. So frustrating.) I will (for real) do longer chapters. Next one... Peeta's POV.
