A/N: You guys are so sweet! I've had soo much positive feedback! Don't forget to review! I'm not sure when I'll post again because I get VERY sidetracked by the Olympics. Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games.

I'm not sure how long I'm asleep when he wakes up. I hear him stirring and instantly wake up. I'm still holding his hand; I haven't let go of it for two days. He sits up and groans out of pain, "Katniss, is that you?"

"Yes Peeta, it's me."

"Are we dead?"

"No silly, we're alive here in District 13."

"What happened? Last thing I remember, they blew up the Nut."

"Yes, 2 is on the Rebel's side now. You got shot." He looks down at the bandages.

"Oh yeah, I remember that now."

"Well not actually shot, the bullet didn't touch you. It bounced off your bulletproof vest. You have a couple of very bruised ribs and the bullet ruptured your spleen. The doctors had to remove it but they tell me you don't even need it, so you'll make a full recovery."

"Great. Why are you here?"

"Because, you would've been here for me if I got shot."

"But before I left you tried to hurt me."

"I tried to kill you. That wasn't me. That was crazy pyscho, mutt Katniss, made by the Capitol. I'm sorry for that by the way."

"I know it wasn't you. How's your-," he's trying to choose his words carefully so I don't turn mutt again," mental state."

"Same, I haven't been to therapy for two days; I've been here with you."

"So, you remember Aaron."

"I never stop thinking about him. He's always in the back of my mind. I really miss him. You remind me a lot of him. The way you talk and act. The way I feel safe in your arms." Am I really going to say this next thing? This is so not like me to say but I do anyway because he's been shot for god's sake. "The way you love me."

He leans in and kisses me. Damn he's a good kisser. I pull away though. "I'm sorry Peeta, I can't. It's not fair to Aaron."

"God Katniss, that wasn't Aaron in the Games with you, it was me! There's a reason I remind you of Aaron. All those things he said in the Games, that was me! I'm the one who you risked your life for. I gave you the pearl! I'm the one who told you 'Always' not Aaron! Just remember!"

"How dare you! It's hard enough to get over him but for you to say those things! I was here for you!"

"You tried to kill me!" Before I can hurt him, Gale pulls me away.

"Catnip, what was going on in there?"

"He said Aaron wasn't real! He said it was him along. Why can't I just forget Aaron?" I'm crying now.

I have no idea how much pain this caused Gale to say, but he tells me the truth. "Because you love him more than anyone else."

"No, I love you. I chose you."

"Then how do you explain that kiss in there and in your room a couple weeks ago? You've never kissed me like that."

"Yes I have. We've made out before."

"You've never kissed me with that kind of passion that you just did in that one kiss. You love Aaron and you like that Peeta is like him." I see a tear roll down his cheek and I wipe it away. I kiss him as hard as I can.

"See, no passion, Catnip. Not like when you kiss him. You kiss me because you want to love me, you just can't forget him and I get that." He lets go of me and start to walk away.

"Gale, no. I do love you. Who else will love me back?"

"Just go to your hospital room in five minutes. Remember, I'm your best friend, I know you better than you know yourself, and if you really do love me, I'll be able to tell."

I go back in five minutes like Gale told me to and I find Dr. Aurelius standing next to a sitting Haymitch and an empty chair facing a TV.

"What's going on?"

"You and Haymitch are going to watch the 73rd Hunger Games."

"Please don't make me. I hate watching the Games."

"It's part of your therapy, thought of by Gale and Haymitch. It will help, I promise."

I sit down next to Haymitch and Aurelius leaves. Haymitch turns on the TV and hold his hand out. This is going to be tougher for him to watch; he knew and mentored these kids. It all starts with the reaping. Typical Careers volunteer. It's a girl from the Seam, Trisha, I think. She was in my year at school. The boy tribute surprises me, it's Aaron, Aaron Wilson. "How is this possible?"

"Just watch," says Haymitch.

I watch like he tells me to. Nothing really stands out except that Aaron in it. Trisha dies in the first five minutes. Aaron can't find a source of water and dies of dehydration like I almost did. His death is too much and I black out.

When I wake up I'm haunted by the images of Aaron's death. This is not how Aaron died. He was killed by Brutus in the Quarter Quell. Dr. Aurelius comes in and tells me that it's best if we don't finish the Games. I don't say anything. "Katniss? Tell me how you feel." I've lost my ability to talk. Usually I just would've thought the tapes were lying but it seems so familiar. Like I've seen those Games before. I definitely remember Trisha dying. If this is true, Aaron was not my district partner, who was?

Sorry it's short but it's midnight and I'm tired and Forrest Gump is on! More to come! Some more Katniss/Peeta interaction coming up. And Finnick and Annie's wedding, so get ready!
