Katniss Pov:
Me and Peeta started to head into the justice building. "Who should we visit first?" I ask. "We should visit Lison first." Peeta says. So we make our way to were Lison is located. When we get in there I sit down on the couch oppsite of her and Peeta sits next to me. Lison looks like she's been crying. I take a deep breath and say " Lison I'm sorry about attackiing you and I just want to make sure that we're good before you leave." "No Katniss I want to say sorry for all the teasing and name calling and just being a total bitch. You had the right to puch and tackle. I'm so sorry Katniss." That's about when the peacekeppers come to tell us our three minutes are up so then we head out and go to were Gale is.
When we get in Gale looks depressed but doesn't look like he's been crying. I sit on the couch acroos from him and again Peeta sits next to him. I deciced to lean on his chest. "I know about Madge's." He says . I know that he mean't that he knew how Madge's likes him. "Tell her I feel the same way." He syas looking in thcorner of throom in almost a whisper.
"Gale, me and Peeta while help try to feed your family were at the Hunger Games. Also, try to come home for your family your at least Madge. I know you can win." I say.
"Thank you, Katniss." he says. Then we get up to go after the peacekeppers come to tell us our time is up. Then me and Peeta walk out hand and hand. Me and Peeta decide to go hunting. Since Peeta usally gives me his game I decide that I'll give Gale's family Peeta's game.
Gale won the 69th Hunger Games. Frist of all it was easy for him because half of them died because of the extreme cold temperatures and the blood bath. That year the Arena was a burning desert that year. However, at night it was extremely cold. The other people that lasted he killed or was killed by careers. The careers actually asked him to join them but he said no right away without a second thought. In the end, it was Gale and the brown hair boy from district 2. Then he won after he tied him up and shot him in the head with an arrow. He also proclaimed his love for Madge's during his interviews. Madge was quite surprised that he said that but I was not. I saw gale staring at Madge's couple of times during lunch with nothing but love in his eyes.
Lison died by a poisons snake. However, she made it in the top seven. Today is the day Gale was coming home from the capitol. Peeta and I been providing The Hawthorne family well. Peeta and I been out in the woods for a couple hours now. We just went for a swim and are now on a towel Peeta brought. We are getting the last out of the weather before it gets to cold. Peeta finally got me to go to his house for dinner with his family. I heard his mother was not too happy when he got her to have me over for dinner. However, I am still going because wants me too. "Peeta, don't you think were a little young to be meeting each other parents for dinner. I mean we're only eleven." I ask. "Yay. However, Katniss we been dating since late May and now it's early August. So I want you to meet my family." He says sweetly. "Fine. Now we have to go to the train station for the victors coming home. Remember it's mandatory." I say then we get up and head for the train station.
By the time we get there, everyone else is there. In addition, the train is just pulling in. Peeta and I wait hand and hand for the train to stop. When Gale gets off the train, everyone is cheering and someone gets Madge's on stage. They stare into each other's eyes for a couple of seconds then Gale kisses Madge. Soon the train station is cleared and Gale is moving his and his family's stuff to his new stuff. I actually see him moving from my Seam house. I start getting ready to go to Peeta's house. I secretly hope his family likes me. I get my hair done the same style as the dance but instead done it is in a braid. My dress is an orange cocktail dress. It is also one of my mom's dresses. Its crazy the stuff that some of the merchants buys. I am wearing the same flip-flop heel that I wore to the dance. After I am done getting ready, I look at the clock and wait for Peeta.
When he comes, we head back to his house after I say bye to Prim and my mom. We do small talk on the way there. When we get there his rather cocky middle brother Rye greets me. "Hi I'm Rye. Peeta older and Hotter older brother." He says. I just laugh at that. Then the eldest Mellark brother Bannock greets me. "Hi I'm Bannock. Do not mind Rye's cockiness. He'll grow on you eventually." Bannock greeted. I shake his hand then Peeta's Dad greets me. "Hi I'm Mr. Mellark, but just call me Fintan or Fin for short." I shake his and he smiles at me. "Well, I'm Katniss." I say. "Well we know that Peeta always talks about you." Mr. Mellark says. I give Peeta a wondering look. He just grins from ear to ear at me. I just give him a hug then. "Should say hi to your mother?" I whisper in his ear. "Well probably not." He answers in a half whisper. Then we pull apart. Peeta, his brothers, and I play an old board game while we wait for dinner.
"So if you could do so much better why did you choose Peeta?" asks Rye. I think and look down at my lap. "Katniss, do you want to tell them or you?" Peeta asked. "You can." I whisper in his ear when he holds me tight against him. "Well it was May 2nd…" he starts. Peeta tells them everything from there to now. "Well, that's the story." Peeta finishes off. "So you like him because he throw you bread. I could have done that." Rye complains. I think Rye is about 13 going on to 14. "Well Peeta's sweet and nice. In addition, always thinks about how I feel before he acts." I say grin at Peeta while staring into his blue orbs. "I could be like that," says Rye. "No you can't you're always going to be your cocky self and when the last time you kissed a girl was." Says Bannock. Then they start beating each other and arguing and soon brake out into a fight. Then Mr. Mellark has to break them apart and tells us that the salad is ready.
"Remember the stems." Peeta says with grin. I nod and grin back. He pulls out a chair for me and I sit down and wait for the salad to come out. When the salad comes out, I greet Peeta's mother nicely. She just glares at me. Weird, she must really hate me! We eat the salad and there is some small talk during the meal. "So Katniss how's Prim?" Peeta's dad asks.
"Good she's better these days thought. She's happier." I answer. "What do you mean by these days?" Asks his mother. "I mean that she's much more happy and healthy now then after my father's death." I mummer. "Now I know you from. You are that girl in the rain that was begging for food in early May." She says. Know I am starting to get angry. "Mom please don't" Peeta says. Too late for that, I think. "You're the poor seam slut who was begging for food. You and Your little bitch of a sister. Both sicken me." Says Peeta's mom in the meanest way possible. "Excuse you. You could insult me all you want but when you insulate my family that's when I get angry." I say know standing up. "Owww and sorry I'm not you. Insulating every seam person. Or counting money while your husband and kids work their asses off and you just sit back. Or complaining about the most stupid things like how I am dating Peeta. Well people in the seam have real problems they try to survive on a mining salary. Or have to risk their lives every day to feed their family. However, you still bet your children and complain all the time. That is right I see the bruises on Peeta all the time! In addition, I do not say anything because he does not like to talk about at all and I love him too much to upset him. Now I'm done with this conversation." Then I storm out.
Peeta's Pov:
I am speechless. I cannot believe Katniss just did that. However, it was awesome. Katniss said she loved me. I get out of my chair to go find Katniss. My mom will most likely disown me know. I find Katniss crying by the oak tree that she was laying by the day I gave her the bread. "You probably hate me right now." She whispers. I sit down beside her and get her to sit on my lap while I hug her. She now is crying into my shirt. "Katniss I don't hate you. I thought that was awesome. No one ever stand up to my mother like that. Also, you said you loved me and that made me extremely happy." I say kissing her temple. Then I kiss her on the lips and she starts to kiss me back. After a couple of seconds I feel myself grow hard and I pull away before she notices. I just started puberty so I think this will start being normal. Then I go back to kiss her and she kisses me back again. That is when Rye decides to come out. "Gross get a room you two. In addition, Peeta mom is angry. You might not want to go in there for a while. She also went up to her room." Says Rye and then he leaves going back to the house. I help Katniss back up and we make the track back to her house. We do not talk. It is not awkward silence it's more comforting.
When we get there, I give her a kiss. "Remember Katniss I'll love you no matter what. Ok" I say. "OK, bye see you later Peeta." She gives me another kiss and goes into her house. After she is in her house, I decide to go to the meadow to think. When I get there, I sit down on Katniss and mine rock. Therefore, she said she loved me. She stands up against my mother. In addition, turned down Rye and ignored his cockiness. I love Katniss so much but it is just so confusing. Does she feel the same way? I mean she did all those things for me. She would not have met my mother if she did not love me. In addition, she did try to be nice. For me so maybe she does love me. I love her so much thought. I am like a lovesick puppy around her.
After a little while, I decide to head back to my house but when I get back, I am kicked out. "I don't want you here. Your seam slut embarrassed me and I don't want to see your face around here." My mother screams. Damn I hate her. "Fine I'll just leave. You hate me anyways. So why do I still live here." I yell at her. Then I leave and know exactly where I'm going. I start the track to Katniss house. It is about ten so she will probably be a sleep. I know that Prim is sleeping over her friend's house so she will not be home. When I get they are all of her house lights are off. Her window is open so I crawl throw the window. When I am in Katniss is asleep, but her hunting sense wake her up and she notice it is I. "Hi, what are you doing here?" she whispers. I kneel by her bed. "My mom kicks me, so I didn't know where to sleep. Therefore, I came here." I whisper. "You can sleep with me" she whispers room for me. I slid in with her curled into me. "Thanks, I didn't know where to sleep. So I just came here for you." I whisper in her ear. "Well I don't mind. I was not sleeping that good anyways without Prim. Goodnight." she says. "Good night" I whisper in her ear. We end up both sleeping great that night without any nightmares.
