VERSION 2
I arrive home in district 12 today. I finally get to see my wife Katniss. We got married had our toasting right out of high school. Then the war broke out and they started recruiting for the war I joined left two months into our marriage. "Promise to come back to me Peeta!" I nodded and we kissed with so much passion. "I promise" I said. "And we can start our family as soon as you get back!" I kissed her once more and left. I've been gone for two years and now I'm back. I run to our house and walk in I see our toasting pictures and pictures when we were dating. I smile at start to walk up to our bed room. I hear sound coming for the bedroom worried something is wrong with my girl I open the door and what I find is enough to break my heart. I find my wife having sex with her best friend Gale Hawthorne. She sees me and gasps racing to put her robe on. I didn't touch her the whole two months I was with her besides the occasional kiss. I run out of the house, Katniss racing behind me calling out my name yelling to understand her. But I just hopped onto my motorcycle and leave. I drink to have her memory erased from my brain. Her smile, her hair, her lips, and most of all her Thunderstorm colored eyes. I drank at least 9 or 10 bottles of whiskey but with ever bottle I drink a memory comes back and she torments me. I still love her with all my heart and soul. If I could still be with her I would but I just can't I don't know I'm laying in bed on my nightstand table there lays a gun loaded and ready to shoot next to it a picture of Katniss I drew when we had our toasting she never looked more beautiful I started sobbing I've never cried so much in my life. I finally decide I can't go on like this I take one more swig of my bottle and write out in perfect cursive penmanship 'She still doesn't know the effect she can have on me, I will always love her with my heart, mind ,and soul. Forever.' I clutch both the note and picture as if my life depended on it. I pick up the gun and ahead a few more tears
just can't do this anymore and I just pull the trigger.
*Katniss*
they found him face down in the pillows clutching a photo of me and a note that said 'she still doesn't know the effect she has on me, I'll always love her with all my heart, mind, and soul.' I take a swig of whiskey It's my fault he's dead. Why, did I have to have sex with Gale I take another gulp. I fucked up our lives, I miss my boy. When I went to his funeral his mother father and two brothers along with their wives all eyed me. He was a sweet soul he went away to fight for Panem and how do I receive him home with a harder hit than any person coming from war could receive. They buried him by the old willow tree in the meadow. After his funeral I went home and drunk so much I didn't wake up till a day after but I only woke up to cry and drink some more whiskey. I try to drink his memory away and have fun with Gale when we go out, but I just can't, I see him everywhere. I blame myself every day since he's death. It's been three years I can't do this anymore. I take a picture of him and go up to my room and I cry more than I have these past few years more than I have my whole life.
1. I remember that first day of school
2. I remember our first date
3. I remember out toasting
4. I remember our last kiss
5. I remember him seeing me with Gale
7. I remember him crying and running away
8.I remember him in that casket at the funeral. I can't take it anymore and with the thought of seeing him again after all these years, I pull the trigger.
*Gale*
I found her lying face down in the pillow clinging to his picture for dear life. I decided to bury her next to her husband near the old willow in the meadow. I hope they found each other in the end. I knew she drank and I knew he drank before they died. Hopefully the angels will sing a whiskey lullaby to both of them.
