Katniss POV


The cold air bites me as I leave my home in District 2. I shove my hands in my pockets after readjusted my bag filled with all of my things on my shoulder. I see my breath from how bitterly cold it is. I bite my lip as I walk up to the train station. Is this what I want to do? I take a deep breath before stepping onto the train.

Peeta POV

I wake up and roll over onto my side before actually getting out of bed, careful not to wake her up. I rub my eyes, and rub the back of my neck as I walk downstairs. I yawn and step into the kitchen, making breakfast. I make some for her to, knowing she would want some. I put the bread in the oven, and the eggs on the stove. After finishing up the food and taking off my apron, she walks downstairs looking sleepy, and I break into a smile. I walk over to her and put my arms around her waist.

"Good Morning, beautiful." I say kissing her neck. She shutters at my touch, which only makes me smile wider.

"Morning." She says. I let go of her and lead her to the table. I pull out her chair for her to sit, and then take my seat across from her.

"Do you have to go to work today?" She asks while taking a bite of bread.

"I'm sorry sweetheart; I have to be down at the Bakery in an hour." I say.

"It's fine." She says smiling. Her smile, it reminds me of…her. Memories flood into my mind, and it's overwhelming. I have to be alone.

"I'll be right back." I say leaving the table and darting into one of the many guestrooms in my home. I run to the wall and sink to the floor with my head in my hands.

Katniss.

I hadn't seen her in over a year, the one time I did see her was the day before she left to go to 2. That was probably one of the worst days of my life, seeing the only girl I loved, leave me for her best friend.

(Flashback)

We stood at the train station, Katniss was saying goodbye to Haymitch and the other Hawthorne's with Gale while I stood awkwardly away from the group. I sighed and turned to walk away but Katniss grabbed my arm.

"Peeta, don't go." She said, which surprised me. She's leaving with Gale, why would she want me to stay? Suddenly she's given me a hug, with her arms flung around my neck. I give in and hug her back, tears start streaming down my face. She's really leaving. Katniss Everdeen, my true love, was leaving me.

"I'll miss you." I mutter into her hair.

"I'll miss you too Peeta. I have to go though." She says backing out of my hug. I see the tears in her eyes too. "Bye Peeta." She says smiling and giving a slight wave.

"Bye Katniss." I say forcing a weak smile. Then, she's gone

(End of Flashback)

I spent the rest of the day like I am now, crying and by myself. I did that for weeks. Then one day I went out to buy more ingredients for the Bakery, and ran into her. She makes me happy, but not as happy makes me. I love her, and she loves me too. She helps me cope, and I know that everything is fine when I'm with her. I never knew someone like her, and me would end up dating. We've been dating for six months now, and I really do love her. But I still miss Katniss completely. They say I need to move on though, everyone says I need to. She helps me make it through the tough times, and I think I might ask her to marry me.

I pull myself together and leave the guest bedroom. She's still sitting at the table when I walk back in with a worried look on her face.

"Are you okay?" She asks. I nod and fiddle in my pocket. I had the ring already, and I decided now was the best time to do so. I take her hand and kneel down beside her, taking a deep breath.

"I love you, and I always will. You make me happy when I need it the most, and help me through the rough times." I pause and open up the ring box to reveal the ring with a diamond in the center. "Delly Cartwight, will you marry me?"

Katniss POV

My time on the train was horrible. Every time I tried to sleep, I was woken up by my screams. The Nightmares have been horrible without Peeta. I needed him to comfort me, and him alone. Gale would try his best, but he's not like Peeta. The train comes to a stop, and I step out of the train and it's even colder here than it is in 2. But, it's always cold in 12. I walk steadily through the District until I arrive at the Victor's Village. I don't even bother to stop at my home. I walked up the steps of Peeta's house and just opened the door. Neither of us locked our doors, we never had a reason too. I took a deep breath and stepped inside. I looked around and couldn't see anyone, until I walked into the kitchen, to find a scene I wish I had never seen.

"Delly Cartwight, will you marry me?"
