LAST CHAPTER BEFORE THE EPILOGUE!

I think it turned out nicely... Now I know some of you might not want this story to end. I don't either. It's a part of me that I will always remember. I hope you remember this story, add it to your favourites, and tell your friends about it, post it on your websites, (If you have one) And spread the word about this story.

I just got the funniest review from a guest reviewer named littlecarlos

Here is what they wrote:

dont u dare end this story or i shall hunt you down stab you with a stick and stuff you in a box shove a paper and pencil in it and make you write or you can pick the second option make a sequel

Well I might make a sequel, I'm thinking about it. I'll tell you if I am in the epilogue!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger games.

Thanks to my beta: Stargazer12256.

Read on...


Katniss' POV

I freeze. I can't move. Why's he here? What does he want? Is he here to criticize me more over that stupid blog? I open my mouth to tell him to leave but nothing comes out.

"Katniss."

"GO AWAY!" I scream, all my bottled up anger coming out. I slam the door and lean up against it. I feel like I'm going to cry. Tears scurry to my eyes like storm clouds. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry... I blink the tears away as much as I can.

"Katniss... Katniss please... I'm so sorry! Please open up..." he coos through the door.

I open the door and stare into Peeta's eyes. "What?"

"I'm so sorry! Kat please forgive me! I love you. I love you so much. You have no idea! I loved you since I was five, when on the first day of school you were wearing a red plaid dress, and your hair was in 2 braids instead of one. Then you sang the valley song... and I knew I was goner."

I stare at him like he's grown a second head. Since I was five... The valley song... him... A goner? I remember everything. I even remember a little boy with the most stunning blue eyes, staring at me while I sing. Whenever I catched his eye he would turn away and blush.

That little boy was Peeta.

And that little boy did, and still, loves me.

Do I love him?

"I... I think I love you too..."

"Really?" I nod. "Will you give me a second chance?"

I hold my breath. What do I say? I press my lips together.

"Peeta..."

"It's ok. You don't have to. I just needed to ask, and apologize. I feel like the BIGGEST Jack- you know I'm not gonna say that word... the biggest jack BUTT. I'm sorry... I just... I should go..."

"Peeta... wait. Give me 2 minutes ok?" He nods. I close the door and turn to Foxface and Jo. "He wants me back!" I say/scream.

"Well tell him you guys are NEVER EVER getting back together!" Foxface advises.

"NO! Tell him to Stay, Stay, Stay! Watch your relationship begin again..." Jo says.

"NO! Everything has changed! If you take him back I'll be seeing red!" Foxface says.

"Take him back because he's The Lucky One. BUT tell him this is The last time you'll take him back!"

"I knew he was trouble when he asked you out! You knew too!" Foxface fights back.

"You guys may have had a Sad beautiful Tragic love but it can be okay again!" Johanna says/sighs.

"Were you guys listening to Taylor Swift's album red?" I ask.

"GUILTY PLEASURE!" They both shriek with delight.

"So..."

"Take him back! TAKE HIM BACK!" they both instruct me.

"Are you sure?"

"YES!" Foxface screams! "I would see red if you DIDN'T take him back!"

"It would be treacherous if you didn't give him another chance!" Johanna informs me firmly.

"Yeah everything wouldn't be All to well..." Foxface agrees.

"If you take him back then right there were you two stood would be holy ground!" Johanna says.

"And make sure that one day you two will kiss under the Starlight!"

"Ok, ok, I'll take him back!" I laugh.

"GOOD!" They start talking about how romantic everything will be and that this will be some tragic love story! As if!

Wow, Johanna and Foxface... friends? I never saw that coming.

I walk to the door, and take a deep breath. I open the door to see him standing awkwardly in the hallway, with his hands in his pockets.

"Peeta?"

His head shots up when I say his name. "Huh, what? Oh. Y-yeah Katniss?"

"Peeta... I don't know if this is what you want to here but-" He cuts me off before I could continue.

"Oh. Ok. That's ok. I knew I shouldn't have come... uh bye Katniss..." he starts to walk off with his head held down.

I grab his hand and turn him toward me, "Peeta... I forgive you! I'll give you another chance!"

His blue eyes shine with happiness. "Really!" He seems like a little kid!

"Yeah!" I start laughing, "You should have seen your face! You looked SO disappointed!"

"Well when you assume that the love of your life doesn't want you then, wouldn't you be crushed?"

"Yeah... Peeta..."

"Yeah?"

"I love you." I smile. I know I do. I could never live without him. The past week without him has been a living hell. I love him. Oh my god. I love him! I LOVE PEETA MELLARK!

"Real or not real?" He asks.

His eyes light up, and he pulls me in for a kiss, when I tell him...

"Real."


A/N: Awww. Anyway that's the end... I had the ending planned out like that. It's pretty cute if you ask me.

A BIG thank you to EVERYONE that's read, reviewed, followed or added this story to their favourites! Only one more chapter left. The Epilogue.

About the Taylor swift thing... I LOVE her! My mom's taking me to her concert in June! Can't wait!

Anyway, For my next story I don't know what to do, post in the reviews.

What do you want to see in the epilogue. Review what, and you'll see it!

I'll try to get the epilogue up tomorrow!

Goodbye Cookie Monsters!
