So here it is, the final chapter of my story I am so sorry it took forever to finish. I hope the ending is good and I have a sequel planned if anyone still wants to read that, just let me know.
Chapter 15
Of course the reality that Peeta was to go back to District Twelve has already hit me. After I had just found my soul mate he was ripped away from me. I thought of this bitter truth as I watched the interview.
The rest of the time seemed to pass far too quickly and soon the train had arrived that would take the victors home. The door to the room we were in opened and I saw Haymitch standing there.
"Come on Peeta, train's here" Haymitch said.
Peeta looked back to me, a deep sadness in his eyes that reflected within my own. I pulled him into a tight embrace as we got up.
"It's not forever. I'll see you for the victory tour, ok?" I said.
Peeta nodded and we gave each other a last kiss, drawing it out to last us for the time that we would have to spend apart.
"Alright, alright, that's enough of that you love birds" Haymitch growled, making us jump at his sudden voice.
I gave Peeta one last hug and walked him out to the train. I wished more than anything I could make the walk slower, make time stop so we would never have to be separated. When Peeta boarded the train he opened the window that was closest to the door and held out a hand. I took it in my own and kissed the back of it lightly.
"I love you" he said softly.
"I love you too, my little baker boy" I replied.
The train let out a loud whistle as the wheels started to turn. I held on to his hand for as long as I could when the train began to pull out of the station. As the walkway came to an end I was forced to slowly let my hand slip from his, my other hand still raised in a silent farewell as his face disappeared into the train, but not before blowing me one last kiss.
"I will always love you my baker boy."
Peeta's POV
I stood watching Cinna slowly grow smaller and smaller as the train pulled away and I felt a great sadness come over me. I wanted more than anything to jump off the train and tell him I would stay there with him. But sadly I couldn't.
This must have been the cruel fate that I was handed, finding someone to love and then having to be apart from them. If only we didn't live in a world of districts, if only we could be free to live wherever we wanted and with who we wanted.
I wasn't looking forward to getting back to District Twelve. I didn't want to face the cheering crowd or all the people trying to shake my hand because it was a victor's hand. I wasn't even really looking forward to seeing my family again. District Twelve held nothing for me anymore, the only place that did I had to leave.
I sometimes thought of what life in the Capital would be like with Cinna. We could have a family eventually and we would never have to worry about our children being tossed into the cruel arena. We could live happily and grow to an old age. It seemed almost like a dream to think of a life like that.
If only I had been born in the Capital then we could have had a better life. But at the same time had I not been chosen in the games would I have met Cinna at all? I might have had a completely different life where I would have never run into him at all.
For all the cruel things the games made people endure they got one thing right, they are the reason I found my soul mate.
And that is the end. I know it's a bit short but I think it wraps everything up nicely. Again if I still have readers that want to see the sequel I would be more than happy to start working on it. Just send me a message or post a review to let me know.
