Sorry, late update. Katniss and Peeta are back together again. Katniss was just not in a good mood, she's feeling awful in the last chapter. You know, sometimes humans just need to have a time like that. Enjoy your read and please review ;)

-Love, Buttercup

Sorry if the chapter has some weird stuff, I'm just not in a good mood writing this chapter...

Kind girl POV:)

My eyes opened, a tube in my hand. All I feel is the coldness of the room, smell of medicines, and the soft bed I'm lying on. The first thing I thought about: Why, why did I ever got mad at Peeta? WHY!

"Katniss?" A shadowy figure sat up from a chair beside me.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"It's Prim…"

"Oh. It's you. Tell me what happened?"

"You were screaming at Peeta and you fainted. You're now in a hospital."

"No… I mean, what happened to Peeta now?"

"He's upset."

"Ok. How long am I asleep for?"

"Couple of days, it's Thursday now."
"What district am I in?"

"District 12, duh."

"Oh. Alright. Can you get Peeta for me?"

"Yeah, sure." Prim walked out to the hallway and called loudly for Peeta.

I sat still on my bed, waiting for him to come in.

"Hey Katniss. You feeling better?" He asked, sad smile on his face.

"Me? It's me who should ask you the question. I'm really, really, really, sorry on what happened on Monday. Truthfully, I don't really know why I got mad. I just… Felt like a piece of crap…"

"That's ok. I just wanted to make sure you didn't suddenly went mental. I was really worried."

"Sorry. Let's start over again?"

"Start over again? No-"

"What? You don't want to get back together anymore?" I'm overwhelmed, emotional, and always ready to cry.

"No, no, no. I mean we never stopped. We'll just continue!"

"Oh goodie. I thought you're going to hate me now…" I cried with happiness. What's wrong Katniss? Why are you so sensitive in these few days?

"No, I'll never hate you Katniss…"

He walked over to me and sat on my bed. I patted the spot right beside me. He moved closer, to the spot I patted.

"So, what did I miss out on school days?" I whispered, head resting on his shoulder.

"Not much, there's no homework since the teacher's thought through about it. You know, trip to the Capitol."

"Yeah. Did Gale say anything, or Madge?"
"Oh, gossips? Yeah. It's funny though. You sure you're ok to hear it?"

"Yeah, of course!"

"Wait," Peeta turned his head towards the door and shouted, "Prim! We need you!"

Why the heck do we need Prim?

So Prim walked in from the door and closed the door. Peeta commands Prim who's right now sitting on the end of my bed.

"So Prim, tell Katniss the story about the visit from Gale."

"Oh. Ok. So on Tuesday Gale came right afterschool, wanting to see you." Prim started the story and I try not to interrupt, so I let her continue.

"I told Gale that you're not seeing anyone for now." WHAT? I'd like to talk to my friend…

"And he asked me why. I said: you're still asleep." NO WAY! I was asleep for all these few days? Did I let Prim and mom starve?

"He said, giving up: alright. Later on in the day Madge and Tiara came. They asked if they can come in and see you, so I let them in." She let Madge and Tiara come, but not Gale. If I were to make the choice, I'd probably let those two come too.

"The next day Gale came, I still didn't let him come and see you. Every time he comes, you're asleep. Well, so was the visit from Madge and Tiara…"

"Why didn't you let my friend Gale come in?" I interrupted. She shrugs,

"Well, he was being really nosy about you at school. He keeps asking me to tell you that he likes you, and he wants to date you, blah-blah."

"Did this thing spread to Delly and Eleanor?"

"Duh… They know about everything. Except for Peeta Mellark."

"Good. So what are they spreading about now? Gale and me dating? Pfft."

"Yeah. They keep spreading rumors."

"Well good thing they're not coming to the capitol."

"Oh, and there's another rumor. Apparently Madge and Tiara are leaving district 12 to go to the boarding school in Capitol."

"WHAT!? NO! They can't leave me… They're my only friend-girls."

"It's just a rumor, we can ask them tomorrow."

"And tomorrow morning we're leaving to the capitol. Haha."

"Oh. You can hang out with her on the train I guess…"

"Right. We'll be on the train for the two whole days. Awesome. I think Peeta and me will figure a solution out tomorrow."

"Good job. Now should I leave you two alone? Or would it be safe…"

"Prim, shush."

"Sorry, I like doing that to you two." She stuck out her tongue beside the door and walked away. I smiled, ducking my head in case someone like Peeta makes fun of it.

"Oh well. What do you want to do?" Peeta laughs and asked.

"Me? I still have to finish packing up, don't I?"

"No. Your mom finished packing."

I feel like a little child when he said that.

"So you mean I don't need to pack?"

"No, you don't."

"Oh. What can we do now? What time is it?"

"Around noon."

"That's why I'm starved."

"Here, check this out," He sort of lay down on the bed, but not quite. He reached for a phone type of thing and called out a number. He sat back up, grinning,

"Guess what I got for you?"

"What did you get me?" I asked, sparkles in my eyes. I haven't eaten anything since I passed out on Monday.

"You'll see." He smiles mysteriously, "Oh! There they are!"

He hopped off bed and walked towards the door. He came back holding a tray with a plate of lamb stew and two cheese buns. I smiled widely and gleefully,

"Peeta! Oh my god! Thank you so much!"

"You're very welcome." He laughed, handing me the tray with already one cheese bun missing that's currently in my mouth. I finished gobbling up that cheese bun and started feasting on my lamb stew. The best thing ever they make there in the Capitol. I asked, "Where did you get this lamb stew?"

"Jed brought it with him from the capitol." He answered, with some proudness in his sound.

Shadow boy POV:)

I watched Katniss as she finishes gobbling up her food. I laughed loudly,

"So you really love lamb stew don't you?"

"Yeah, of course I do! What do you think? Plus, I barely get them in the seam… I hunt for food and I trade them for our daily needs." She smiles then turned frowning. I can't really understand the life in the seam still; I try not to hurt her feelings by not understanding.

"May I come in?" A soft sound came from behind the door. I gave a quick look at Katniss, she nods and we call her in.

"I'd like to have Katniss to walk around, she can't lay in bed forever. This is the command from Dr. Mellark." The nurse red off a paper on her clipboard. Katniss shrugs and said,

"Ok. Well, Peeta's coming with me."

"No one said I wouldn't." I reminded her as we both hop off bed, ignoring the nurse and walked outside.

~Page break~

"Hey Katniss! Freddy!" Two little girls' voice cried. I turned my head and saw Tiara with Prim running towards us. Oh no. Katniss and me were just going to have a nice chat on our own at the back garden of the hospital. Katniss rolls her eyes and shouts,

"Go away, me and Freddy are having a private conversation."

"No. We're coming with you." Prim protested confidently.

"We'll see what Freddy thinks." Katniss sighs and looked at me.

"Oh well. I guess we'll just let you two follow us around then. Where's Madge?" I asked. Tiara smiles and said,

"Doing the school information fill in. You know, Capitol boarding school."

"So you and Madge are actually leaving?" Katniss asked with sadness in her voice.

"We're leaving after winter break. Yes." Tiara answered her.

"Then I won't have any friends at school." Katniss groans. There's no way she's going to become friends with Delly or that rest of the popular girls Glimmer and Cashmere. Who knows though, maybe she and Clove or Foxface could get along.

"Katniss, you have me, Freddy, and Gale." Prim reminded Katniss. But I think Katniss is talking about her girlfriends.

"No. I mean my girlfriends at school. Not boys." Katniss sighed.

"Oh well. We'll see what happens after. We might not leave after all." Tiara tries comforting Katniss a bit. We stood in silence. Katniss with a sad frown, Prim with a face of confusion and innocence, Tiara with no emotions on her face, and me, not knowing how I look like right now. I said,

"Oh well. Let's stop this topic right now. I might have to go back to France too. Plus, Gabrielle's still there and I can't leave her for that long. You'll have Gale."

"Yeah. That's great. With Gale keep telling me how much he likes me, no thanks." Katniss rolls her eyes while giving me the look of approval and a grin. She wants me to lie as much as possible obviously…

Kind girl POV:)

We pretty much got off the subject about Madge and Tiara. I put on my slippers and walked down to Peeta's dining room. Mom decided maybe I should stay overnight at Peeta's house in case something happens. Plus, I'd like to be on my own for these days, today and the two weeks in the capitol, and we're also stopping at the different districts too.

"Katniss! Dinner's ready!" Peeta knocked on my door. I opened it and tied my hair into a ponytail. I usually don't put it in a ponytail, but since I'm too lazy right now, I'll just do that.

I walked downstairs with Peeta, finding Jed was too lazy to cook today, and Peeta was helping me for the whole day… That leaves out Leeva who doesn't really know how to cook. Peeta pulls the chair out so I can sit. I looked on our four plates, Shepard's pie, it's not that bad actually when you taste it.

~Page break~

It was a quiet dinner since… Jed was eating in his room as usual, working on whatever he has from university; Leeva's busy too, writing his university application form or whatever. Leaves the table to Peeta and me. Everything was all kind of awkward, just leaving us alone although it's not the first time we're left alone.

"So, how do you think about the pie?" Peeta suddenly asked.

"Yeah, it's good, but the whole thing just isn't as delicate looking as yours." I answered, hand covering my mouth that's full of food. He smiles and left me to finish up my food. We sat and ate in silence for the rest of the time, until we're all full.

"So Katniss, you ready to rest now?" Peeta asked as he stood and push in his chair.

"Yep. Will you stay with me though? I'm afraid to lose you again." I pleaded.

"Definitely. I'll do whatever you want me to do."

"Alright. Let's go upstairs, but no funny business (Don't finish up her sentence)."

"No funny businesses." He promised. I stood up and he scooped me up, carried me upstairs to the guest room. He dropped me down on the comfy bed. I sat up, looked around the room. Forest green wall with, no, the wall is painted like a forest.

"Peeta, this is beautiful." I sighed, eyes lightening up. He smiled with pleasure,

"I thought you would like this room."

"How did you know? When did you paint this?"

"The first day I met you."

"The first day, you mean when you caught me hunting?"

"Yes, that day."

"How come you never told me about this room?"

"Can't I left it as a surprise?"

"Of course you can. I mean, how did you know I'm going to love it?"

"I never know you're going to love it, I only thought you would like it."

"Well, I love it, absolutely."

"I'm glad you love it."

"Ok. Just give me a moment, I'll be back." I jumped down the bed and walked towards the change room. I grabbed out my pjs from my bag and slid into them. I walked back and said,

"I think I'm going to sleep. Fine with you?"

"Yes."

I kicked the blankets and he put them back on me.

"Peeta, I'm warm enough." I wailed.

"You don't know how cold it gets at night." Peeta insists. Oh well, I'll go with his idea this time. I didn't kick I just laid down, looking straight into Peeta's eyes. He hopped onto my bed and lay down on the blanket beside me and he put his arms around my neck. He whispered, still not losing our eye contact,

"There, now I can hold your blanket down."

"Peeta I told you, I'm warm enough." I whispered even softer.

"Katniss, I told you, it's going to get colder."

"I'm not afraid of coldness, I'm scared I'll lose you again."

"Actually, it's me who's going to get scared about losing you."

"No Peeta, it's me."

"No, it's me." He insisted on saying it's him, I don't like it, although the fact is kind of true. He attacks me with his lips. I kiss him back although this kiss doesn't really have any reasons. And I asked him the reason.

"Why can't we?"

"Good point, no one ever said we couldn't." I decided I'll attack him this time. I split his mouth with my tongue and searched for his. Unfortunately, or fortunately, he found mine first and pushed it inside my mouth. I moved closer to his body as he played around with my hair.

"What do you think you kids are doing?" A loud noise came from inside the room. We jumped apart and sat up, staring at the shadowy figure. Two shadowy figure.

"Leeva, Jed, we're not doing anything." Peeta sighs.

"Why are you on her bed? Why are you in her room anyways?" Leeva asked suspiciously. Damn. Not good.

"We're not even doing anything." Peeta protested.

"Yeah you were." Leeva said.

"Ok, we're not even showing off a part of our body. We're covered." Jed and me decided to let Peeta and Leeva deal this alone.

"Covered under a blanket."

"Our tops aren't even in the blanket."

"The top doesn't really matter (And don't keep going because I won't)."

"Whatever you guys. C'mon Leeva, let's go." Jed grabs the suspicious Leeva and walked away.

"Oh well. Leeva's just worried anyways." Peeta turned his focus back on me.

"Just being a responsible brother." I corrected him.

"Just being a responsible brother," Peeta nodded, "and you should go back to sleep. We'll have plenty of time together on our trip."

"Stay with me?"

"Always." He put his arms around me once more and I slowly drift to sleep…

"Peeta! Run! He's coming!" I shouted loudly, enough to wake Peeta who's stung by tracker jackers with the venom spreading.

"No, Katniss, it's fine. Just leave me." Peeta smiled, sorrow on his face.

"I can't! I love you!" I cried, tears streaming down my face as Gale ran towards us, ready to kill Peeta.

"Just go with Gale, then everything would be legal!"

"No! I won't! I'm not leaving you!" I cried, voice high and cracked.

"Katniss! Go! Just leave me!"

"NO!" I screamed, and screamed, as Gale comes with his knife, ready to stab him right on his heart. I screamed and cried. I know I'm going to go mental; I took Gale's knife and ready to stab myself. I might as well just join Peeta in the land of dead.

"Katniss?" Peeta's voice echoed in my head, I still don't know if this is real life or no.

"Peeta? Where's Gale?" I asked anxiously.

"Gale? At his home? Why?"

"I thought he's going to kill you…" I explained my story. He nodded his head and said, "Well, you know it's not real."

"Real or not real in the future, who knows?" I said, hopping of bed to get dressed for our trip to the capitol.

"Well let's not hope it's real." Peeta followed me towards the change room.

"Wait for me outside. I'll come when I'm done." I said, closing the door.

"I'll be downstairs making breakfast." Peeta said and walked out my room. My room. I'm happy. I'm excited. I'm overwhelmed. I get to go to the capitol, and I'm back with Peeta again. I'm normal once again.

Okie. There you go, the ninth chapter. Next chapter: Focusing on the trip to Capitol ;)
