PEETA'S POV
In about 2 hours, Katniss wakes up. I quickly put on the hot water and I get a tray and put the hot choco and 2 cheesy buns in, I set it aside on the coffee table in front of her till I get distracted " Where am I? " Katniss asks. I don't answer. She studies the place while she takes a bite of one of the cheesy buns I baked and she quickly gets that she's in my place. I sit next to her, then she tries to sit up, I tell her to just lie down but she quickly wrapped her arms around me and said "Me and Gale are over."
"What" I ask in a shocked tone
"Gale and I broke up last night and he left this morning, he ran off because-" her voice trails off and she sound like she's choking up. I start to wrap my arms around her too. I let her rest on me while I try to rock her so that she'll calm down. Her face is buried on my chest while she clenches the back of my shirt. She seems to stop crying. Then I ask her, "Are you ready now?" She nods on agreement. She takes a deep breath and says "Gale ran off for Madge" I could hear her choking up again. So I rocked her again and again
"It's okay. No more explaining for you." I say. She nods
"I'm exhausted" she says
"You want to sleep in my room?" I ask
"Yeah, but I need someone beside me… will you?" she asks. I nod in agreement. I sweep her into my arms and I start walking. She starts to object but I just keep on walking. I lend some of my warm clothes to Katniss but I had to go out of the room. Why not the bathroom? Katniss signals me that I could go back into the room. I nod to Katniss that she could lie down on the bed now. We're wrapped around each other like before.
"Thanks" Katniss says
"My pleasure" I say. Katniss kisses my cheek and she quickly dozes off. I can't help but smile. I got to admit I still have a little flame of feeling for her.
So this is me, remembering those horrible memories about the Hunger Games. I turn to look at Katniss. She's as pink as a new born baby. I haven't seen one but that's what everyone tells me. She's so… dazzling. She reminds me of an orchid hanging in the air. I start stroking her hair, to calm her down even more. But she starts screaming "Gale! Gale!" she starts kicking and punching the air. I start to wake her up "Katniss! It's not real" I say. I shake her up awake. I shoot her a worried look. A very worried look, trying to tell her with my eyes, "What happened?" She seems to get it. She replies me with "I hate him"
KATNISS'S POV
"I hate you Gale! I hate you Gale!"
"Katniss! Katniss! It's not real" I could feel Peeta trying to wake me up. I wake up. I start to squint my eyes as the light reflects his golden hair. Those blue eyes. Those worried blue eyes. It's like it's telling me to speak up. Like what he said. Enough explaining for me so in 3 words I explain everything "I hate him" I say. His eyes turn from worried to shock. I shoot him a serious look as if I'm trying to hold back the tears. Peeta starts to hug me. I wanted to stay strong but I start burying his face on his chest. I start breakdown into tears once again. How did I become so weak? Peeta tells me that none of this is my fault. I seemed to calm me down a little, after about 2 minutes I decide to stop.
"I know! Let's go to the woods!" Peeta insists. I go pale, really pale. Peeta is going in the woods with me? He's no good in the woods! The last time he tried to go hunting with me, He's as noisy as ever! What a wonderful idea, Peeta! I say sarcastically in my mind.
"Are you sure?" I ask frailly to Peeta. He nods in agreement. I start to reason with him but he just says "10am, Okay?" I just nod and we head back so sleep. Then I start thinking, This is too much of a place that's written Gale all over it."
