A/N: I know this is horrible, but I'm in a horrible mood *sigh* also I can't believe Kaya got a script her manager says she didn't…but I don't believe 'em and she's my #1 choice for Katniss :D oh well here ya go

The peacekeepers show me a room and I'm amazed of its beauty. The capitol sure does know how to show off. I recognize what the couch is made of. Velvet. I never had a good history with velvet.

I look through my parent's closet. My 5-year old hands keep getting trapped in strap. Found it! I take out my mother's velvet dress, I take the skinny straps and I tie them around my neck. I now have my own cape, now I can protect the pretty Katniss Everdeen. I run to my room and jump on my bed. I take my old stuffed bear, whose lost an eye, and put him on my night stand.

I keep jumping with my new cape, when I jump to the left and end up on the floor. "Peeta? What was that noise?" yells my mother from downstairs. I panic and scramble to get on my feet again. Suddenly I feel something rip. I turn around and see my mother's dress with a big hole in it. Oh no.

I hear my mom coming up the stairs and I panic even more. I untie the straps and struggle to get the dress off of me. Mother is coming closer and I shove the dress under my bed. "Peeta, what is going on?" she asks. I just stand there and give her a real goofy smile. "Nothing mommy. I just tripped, that's all," I reply. She scans my room when she looks at my bed. I turn worried and see her velvet dress sticking out

She goes and picks it up. "Why is this under your bed?" she asks angrily. Then she notices the hole. "What did you do?" she snaps. "I was playing hero with your dress and I was jumping on my bed when I jumped a little too far and your dress got stuck with the night stand," I reply in a whisper and my eyes are trained to the floor.

I stand there waiting for her to hit me or yell. I look up for a second and see her hands drop the dress. Out of nowhere she picks me up and put me over her shoulder.

I scream and thrash and while I'm screaming she yells, "Shut up! No one can hear you! Don't expect just because your five doesn't mean you get special treatment! That's was a very expensive dress!" I still scream until we come up to the closet by her room. She throws me in, shuts the door, and locks me in.

I stay there and think; she must be kidding, and if she's not someone will find me.

How wrong I was. I stayed there for 5 hours and finally decided no one loves me. I'm going to stay here forever. I start crying with that thought in mind.

I hear someone open the door, and I run into my father's arms. I cry on his shirt and say, "Thank you, Daddy." He hugs me and rubs my back. "Shhh it's ok. I'm here now. Come on let's get you something to eat," he coos me. I don't move, because I'm still shaking, so, he picks me up and I'm still crying when we reach downstairs.

He notices I'm still crying so he gets a soft piece of cloth and wipes my tears. He puts something in my hand. I look down and see a pretty frosted cookie.

This is my first cooking that's not stale and it's pretty. I look at the detail of the frosting. The flower is really pretty and looks so delicate. I admire it all day and hope when I get older I can make things that are just as pretty.

The memory makes me think of my mother and how cruel she was just for a hole. Now I understand though, I was too little to understand back then. Here, in district 12 we need pretty and worthy things. Next, I think of my father. How he's always so willing to protect me and doesn't like seeing me hurt.

I erase the thought out of my mind, but I can't. This is the last time I'll ever see my family and friends... forever. I think.

My brothers come in first. I guess they want to do it separately. I feel disappointed, I want to see us all as a family, but I don't say anything. I look at Jamie and his tears have not stopped; only there is more since he came. This makes me own tears fall down. I try to wipe them off, because I know I don't want to look weak, but they don't stop.

"I'm sorry Peeta. I should've done what she did. I'm the worst brother in Panem," he cries. "No, Jamie. I couldn't ever live with that. I got chosen I'm going to go in and die and I'm sorry but there's nothing any of us can do now," I tell him. I know that by telling him that I'm going to die just made his spirit fall. "No! You won't die! Y-you're g-going to come h-home! P-please!" he yells at me trying to convince me that I will come home. We both know I can't. Even if Katniss wasn't in the games, there are still always the careers. They've trained so much and are so willing to go in for pride.

I shake my head and he screams.

Rilee takes him away to the door while he screams. "Peeta! Please! Peeta bread! No! Let me go! He's my baby brother! He's my Peeta bread!" he hollers. Peacekeepers see and take him away. I never knew he loved me that much.

I look over to Rilee and I'm prepared for just a plain 'goodbye' so I'm surprised when he throws his arms around me and cries. I hug him and we stay like that for a while. He finally speaks. "Peeta, I know it seemed like I hated you, but I just couldn't get attached to you. I knew something like…. like this would happen. I found out now that even if I hated you, you'd always be my baby brother. I'll miss you and never forget I love you baby brother." He gets up and leaves.

I understand now. Every scowl, every rejection to hug, every disappointed look was because he was afraid. If I survived for two more years, he would've proven that he actually loved me like he was supposed to.

My parents come and my father just cries and hugs me. I think of my memory and now things are reversed. He's the one scared. I'm the one comforting him. "Please try Peeta. You know you can do it," he cries. He sees my eyes though and sees that I've already given up and cries more. He gets up and leaves. "Bye Peeta," he whispers.

I look over to my mother and I don't know what she'll do. Yell at me for no possible reason maybe. Those tears in the square were probably fake.

I look up at her and I'm shocked to see tears starting to form and see them fall. She looks down and wipes them away, but I've already seen them and now I won't ever be the same with her.

I haven't noticed until now that I'm still crying ever since Jamie. She comes over to sit on the couch and she hugs me. She becomes her own self again but I can't get through the fact that her eyes are red and puffy. "Maybe District 12 will finally have a winner. She's a survivor, that one. Bye Peeta," she says. I'm shocked. She rated Katniss over her own son? I guess no amount of tears can change her. Still, it's makes me mad that she knows I'm dying but she's cheering me up? Even if she is a witch she can still show some love for me. Tears aren't enough.

My next visitor is Jay. My best friend. I've know Jay ever since I was three when I blamed him for taking my bear. We started yelling first and the next thing I know we're laughing. Ever since then he's always been my best friend.

"Hey Peeta," he say, his voice a little shaken. "Hey," I respond.

We talk all about the good days and every time we had a fight he keeps saying sorry. Then he starts crying "Jay? What's wrong?" I ask. "What's wrong? My best friend is going to die in the capitol!" he shouts. "I'm sorry Jay. We know I can't win it," I tell him. He nods and leaves.

I'm shocked when I see Delly Cartwright. "Delly?" I ask shocked. I haven't seen her since I was "Hi Peeta," she replies but something in her voice shows she's scared. "I'm sorry about all of this Peeta. You must be terrified!" Delly says. "I mean I feel so bad that's all. We always used to hang out. We always used to make drawings and little dough people. It's bad for me too. Now all those memories are gone." Her voice was breaking. "It's ok Delly," I reassure "Can't you just win? Please?" she asks hopefully. "I'm sorry Delly. If only you knew," I say under my breath. She somehow heard it. "Knew what?" she asks. "Nothing," I mutter. "Oh ok. Well bye Peeta. I-I'll miss you," she says. Before she leaves she hugs me tightly and one of her tears hit my shirt.

The peacekeepers summon me and put me in a car to the train station. I worry about my red, puffy eyes. There will be reporters and now I'm going to look weak. I'm not though; I'm going to use all my strength to bring Katniss home.

It's was a short ride, because when I look out the window, we're already at the train station. I was right there are cameras and I can't hide my eyes. The reporters take a lot of pictures of me and Katniss. I look over to Katniss and she looks bored. Maybe I won't need to protect her, but I feel like I still do. No one is invincible.

We get rushed into the train and head to the capitol.
