It could be wrong, could be wrong

It can never last

It could be wrong, could be wrong

Must erase it fast

It could be wrong, could be wrong

But it could have been right

It could be wrong, could be...

"Peeta?"

The time is right. Time to let Peeta know the truth. The truth is going to hurt, but he has a right to know. Who knows how he'll react? It could be fine, he might not love me anymore, maybe he has got over me. Unlikely, but it could happen. Hopefully.

"Yes?"

"Umm, can I talk to you?"

"Not if it's about the wedding, I'm fed up with all this Capitol business, why can't we just be married now, here, where we can enjoy it?"

He puts his arms around my waist, but I remove them and place them back by his sides. The look on his face isn't hurt, it's confused.

"I can't be doing with the wedding either." I whisper, into my hair, which has been let loose from it's usual braid. "I...I...I can't marry you Peeta."

"What? It's because of all the fuss isn't it? It'll all be over soon, don't worry Katniss, don't worry," The tone of his voice makes a lump rise in my throat. How can I do this to him?

"No, it's not because of the fuss Peeta! It's just, well, I don't love you, it was all an act in the arena, you know that!" Now his face does look hurt. My heart tells me to take him back, tell him it was a stupid joke, but I can't do that. I can't erase what's happened with Gale, it's a fact now.

"Katniss? What's been going on? I thought you really had grown to...to...love me..."

"Sorry Peeta. I love someone else, I did all along. Well, for quite a while, maybe I didn't know it."

"Who? Who Katniss?" The look on face is now angry. He can guess who it is, but he wants an answer from me. My hands shake with fear, as the vein in his temple starts to throb, something that I have never seen on Peeta before.

"Gale. Look Peeta, I'm sorry! Just calm down, you're starting to scare me,"

My left cheek throbs and stings. Tears prick in my eyes and and my whole body starts to tremble. He tries to say sorry, but the words get lost in the thick fog that is surrounding me. He puts his hand on my shoulder, but I shake it off and walk away.


I return to my room and sit on the bed. I find my body still shaking with fear, as if he is going to walk through the door any minute and attack me. I can't stay here? What can I do? How will I ever be able to go near Peeta again without flinching everytime he moves towards me.

A knock on my door makes me scream. But when Prim's head pokes around the doorway, I feel safe. Somehow, I think she knows. Not what's just happened with Peeta, but about Gale.

"I'm sorry Prim. I'm really sorry."

"Why? It's your choice. Have you told Peeta? What's that mark on your cheek?"

"That was Peeta. And how do you know?"

"PEETA?" She seems as shocked as I was. "And Gale just came round. He's down with Mum and Haymitch now. Haymitch is not very happy."

"Yes, Peeta hit me when I told him." It seemed weird hearing the words 'Peeta' and 'hit' in the same sentence. They never usually went together. "Thank god for Gale being there. And what about President Snow? What will happen to us Prim? I'm so sorry!"

"HE HIT YOU? And don't worry about Snow, we'll survive him, as long as you get to be with Gale." She saw that I maybe wanted some time alone with Gale, and left the room silently. We've let everyone down. I new this could never have been right, how could it have been?"


"Don't worry Katniss, we are a couple now" His words were like a spell.
