I'm backkkkk. Lol so I skipped a few hours not wanting to get into details... if ya know what I mean… *cough* at awkwardness. Lol so enjoy the chappy and PLEASE REVIEW! I know I don't update often but through my busy life it make me smile when I see someone review.
I wake up in Peeta's arms. Feeling safe. I look over hoping to see his blue eyes but they're closed. So I close my eyes and reply what happened last night. Everything was perfect. I'm not alone any more. That empty hole inside of me is repaired. I'm loved by no other, Peeta Mellark. I'm happy again and no one or anything can take that away from me.
I roll over, feeling tangled in Peeta's large shirt and pants.
I feel Peeta move and I open my eyes, hoping to meet his blue eyes. His eyes are open but they're not the ocean blue eyes I feel in love with. They're cold, filled with anger and confusion.
Peeta's Hijacked.
I start to move away from him, remembering what Peeta told me what to do. But what the right thing to do, seems like the wrong thing. Instead of running, I need to help him. He's going through a difficult time and I need to help him through it.
"Peeta?" I say. He pulls the cover off and sits up.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? MUTT!" He screams.
"Peeta, it's okay. You're hijacked," I start but Peeta cuts me off.
"MUTT!" He screams again and moves closer to me. I back up, keeping a distance but I'm still on the bed.
"Peeta," I say more sternly. "Peeta, you love me." I say but Peeta still doesn't believe me.
"NO! MUTT!" Peeta screams, yet again. That's when he lunges at me, pushing me off the bed and onto the floor, with his body weight crushing me.
"Peeta, please! You love me!" I say, a little more frantic because he has me pinned to the ground and there is no way I can get free.
"You tricked me. You deserve to DIE!" He yells and that's when he raises his hand and I brace myself. With one free hand, I block me face, so instead of him hitting my face, he hits my arm.
I grit me teeth, with the pain, wishing that I did, run instead of helping him. I can't help, Peeta can't control it.
"PEETA! I LOVE YOU. YOU LOVE ME. REMEMBER," I scream before he hits me again this time right across my face.
"NO." He demands. He lifts his hand again and I close my eyes. But the pain never comes. I open my eyes and I see the anger in his eyes change. It's over. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Katniss! Wh- what?" He starts to ask but then answers his own question. "Katniss.," He takes me in his arms. I feel ok besides my wrist and my red check.
"I'm ok," I tell him but he shakes his head.
"No, Katniss, I told you to get away when I'm hijacked. I hurt you and it could have been worse." He says as he gently places his hand on my swelling cheek. "What else did I hurt?" He asks with concern.
"Just my wrist," I answer him and he takes my wrist and examines it. He twists it a little just to see if its broken and a jolt of pain runs straight through and flitch.
"Sorry," he says. "Let me go get some ice," he says and runs downstairs to get ice. I sigh and I sit back on the bed. I remember something my mother once told me 'all things good come to an end.' But I will just have to get used to it. Besides last night was worth it.
Peeta runs back into the room with two towels wrapped in ice, one for me cheek and the other for my wrist.
"Thanks," I mumble and I fumble with the ice to make it balance on my wrist.
"Katniss, I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am," Peeta starts, but I stop him.
"Peeta. It's not your fault. You can't help it. And until the poison runs out of your system, we're just going to have to work with it but it's all worth it. You're worth it," I finally let out.
"You promised you would get away if I was hijacked." He says, obvious still stressed.
"I just couldn't leave you-" I start but this time Peeta cuts me off.
"And look where that got us. " Peeta says getting up from the bed. "I hurt you and I could never do that again. Please." He says sitting back down next to me. "I love you Katniss but even if you want to help me, you can't. I get so stubborn and no one and nothing can change my mind," He finally finishes he says staring into my eyes. I break eye connection and look to the floor. I can't bear this happing to us. Why can't we just love each other without any complications?
"But…" Peeta begins. "I think I am starting to control it a little more. I found some control and I think that was the shortest time I was ever hijacked." He says and this gives me a little hope. I look back into his blue eyes and his lips connect with mine.
"I love you Katniss Everdeen," he says.
"And I love you Peeta Mellark."
