Thank you so much for being so patient and understanding and thank you for your suggestions for which movie Katniss and Peeta should watch.
I apologise for the length of this chapter and for the grammar and spelling mistakes
Chapter 11
Peeta's Pov
"Come on in" I say gesturing Katniss in. She hesitantly takes a step in and takes in her surroundings.
"Nice room"
"Thanks. So... Do you um want to watch a movie ?" I ask her.
"Yeah sure."
"Ok I'll be right back." I go down to the living room and lift the box containing the different movies and take it upstairs.
"Ok"
"Do you want to watch any of these?" I ask "I got them out of my mums collection."
"Sure."
"Which one?"
"It doesn't matter to me." she says with a shrug.
"Ok I'll do eenie meenie minie mo" I say
And it lands on …
The Notebook?
"Ok, I actually have actually never watched this movie before, have you?" I ask Katniss.
"Once." she says, almost whispers it.
"Oh, Do you want me to pick another one?"
"No, no, its fine."
"Ok, are you sure?"
"Yeah."
The movie was good although it got a bit awkward during the sex scenes and intense kissing scenes.
When the movie finished, I wasn't sure what to say, so we sat in an uncomfortable silence for a couple of minutes but it seemed like hours until Katniss broke it.
"I'm never gonna fall in love." But I thought I heard her mumble 'again'.
"Why?" I asked.
"It hurts."
"What do you mean?"
"When my dad died, my mom went into depression and she would stay in bed for days and Greasy Sae was kind enough to let me work for her for a year or so because my mum couldn't work. My mom finally went back to normal but she's never been as happy as she was before." She says with a sad look on her face. "All love ever does is break you and make you weaker"
"No, it doesn't. Love is wonderful thing." I try to convince her
"No, it's not! See what it did to my mom." she said.
"She's alright now Katniss."
"She's never been the same Peeta."
"You're not your mom Katniss."
"Yes I am Peeta, when he left, I broke down. I didn't leave the house for weeks or talk to anyone. Kept hoping maybe he'd come back." she says, her bottem lip quivering.
"Who's he?"
She whipped her head round to stare at me, tears where forming in her eyes. "Cato?" she whispered very softly.
"You don't have to answer this, if you don't want to but, what did he do?" I ask hesitantly.
"It was a couple of years ago. He moved here and I found out he was my neighbor. He was a year older than me and we started to become friends. Then a couple of months later he asked me on a date and I said yes and we had a great time and we went on more dates and eventually I fell in love with him. Then he left. The thing that hurts the most was that he begged me to have sex with him the night before he left and I gave in. Then the next morning he was gone. I felt so used." She said tears streaming down her face. "You know who he is. His name's Cato Ludwig. He's an actor now."
I vaguely remember the name, I think he was the guy who acted in that movie 'The hunger game.'
"The next time I seen him he was on the front of a magazine kissing another girl." Katniss continued, then she burst into sobs.
I went over to her and enveloped her in a hug. She buried her face into my neck and cried harder. I wish I could kill that bastard for hurting her like that. Then she suddenly pulls away and stands up.
"I need to go." She said grabbing her bag.
"katniss wait." I say trying to grab her arm.
"I'm sorry Peeta" she says and runs down the stairs.
I stay up in my room and think for a while when lyrics suddenly come into my head and I quickly go and write them down.
Katniss' Pov
Why did I have to open up to him and tell him all that? Why did I break down? Why, Why, Why? All these questions ran through my head as I quickly ran home.
"Katniss, whats wrong?" says my mom when I come in.
"Nothing, please leave me alone mom." I say as I run upstairs.
How could I be so stupid? He's probably laughing at me right now, thinking how stupid and childish I am.
Just to get this straight. Yes. I am British. I'm from Northern Ireland and I decided that I would tell you some of the words/phrases we say in Northern Ireland some of them you may already say but anywho,
Catch yourself on! - means Wise up!
Tell me what you think of the chapter? I know this chapter sucks and it is really short but I think now that this chapter is done and dusted I'll be able to get another chapter up before the end of the week HOPEFULLY *Fingers Crossed*
Thanks for reviewing, love y'all,
