Chapter 2 is up! I told you I was going to update soon.
Chapter 2: Reencounter
I ran as fast as I could throught the empty houses of victor´s village, I was still recovering from my injuries from the bombing but I still managedto run as fast as my legs could. Pain? I didn´t felt pain, the adrenaline rush made me feel no pain. My heartbeat was faster than usual, I could barely breathe... that´s when I saw him. Even if his face and body where covered with scars, he still appeared like the same bread boy who saved my life several times the past three years. I stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do, so I just stared at him and remembered all the good and bad times I spend with him. I think he didn´t saw me before because when I finally said ¨hi¨, he went pale, I scared the hell out of him. "K-Katniss?" he stuttered, "...Is that you?". "Who else would it be?" I said sarcastically as I rushed to him and hugged him, he paused for a moment and hugged me back, I hugged him harder, we stood there, frozen for a moment until finally Peeta broke the silence and said: "I missed you katniss". I stood there not knowing what to respond but finally I said "I-I missed you too" as I got out of his arms and walked away from him, into my house. He just stood there stunned, he knew I wasn´t a very lovely person but my coldness towards him was confusing. I opened the door and got in, one final moment before closing the door I stared at the upset boy enter his house.
what is wrong with me?! I thought even if I knew what was it. I placed the rabbit in the kitchen table, I don´t want to eat anymore. I went upstairs and sat on the red carpet at my room and paused for a moment to takemy breath, then tears began to fall from my eyes and I started crying. I wasn´t lonely anymore, Peeta was here and he would make me feel better but something was wrong, minutes ago when we hugged each other I didn´t said what I wanted to say, I really wanted to say that I loved him, I wanted to say that since the quarter quell began, but I had no courage to do it, but now? It was too late, I don´t know if he even likes me right know. I continued crying until the sun was out and the moon lighted up the sky. I was sad, I didn´t knew if I loved him for real, we´ve gone through too many difficult times together, times I would rather forget, but how could I forget if I was going to have him by my side probably for the rest of my life. I fell asleep after too much crying and continued sleeping until something woke me up. It was someone knocking on the door, "Um katniss? it´s me Peeta, just wanted to talk since it´s been a long time... could you open the door?" I got up and walked to the door, I opened it and waved at Peeta and told him to come inside.
He entered shyly and placed a wine bottle on the table, "Just a gift I bought at the capitol for you" he said, "Thanks" I replied. "So... how have you been doing Katniss?" I sighted and said sincerely: "It´s been very lonely here, with mom at district 2 and Prim dead... I´ve been feeling very sad, I needed some company, thankfully you are here". "Yeah, it took me some time to get here, I´ve been doing theraphy to forget all the bizzare memories about you and my family, but I am finally ok, so don´t worry" he said. We sat at the sofa and began to watch Panem News on TV, it was not ¨new¨at all, it was about the bombing and Alma Coin´s death, nothing I didn´t knew. I continued watching TV, however I noticed there was something strange with Peeta, he started getting closer to me and stared at me.
"Um... Peeta, is something wrong?" I asked, as I noticed how red his cheeks where, "Eh? no, everything is fine..." he paused, his next movement caught me by surprise; he grabed my hand and got even closer to me, he continued getting closer and closer, I knew he was going to try to kiss me, , I wanted to kiss him too but something inside me urged me not to. "...Peeta" I said, trying not to sound mean as I started pushing him away, "W-What´s wrong?" he said as I pulled away from him, "I-I can´t Peeta" I said then he replied, "Oh, you are right I shouldn´t try to kiss you too soon maybe..." "Y-You don´t understand!" I shouted "I can´t be with you!". He looked at me with confussion, "...but why?". "I´m sorry Peeta, I just can´t" I said in a low voice, I felt so bad for him right now, he got up and headed to the door. He opened his mouth one last time to speak, but no words came out of it so he just closed his mouth again and awkwardly leaved. I got up, turned off the TV and tried to sleep.
No matter how hard I tried I couldn´t sleep, I kept replaying this last day. Bad days? Pff! I´ve had many of them, but this one was quite different from my usual bad days. I wanted to be with Peeta and he wanted to be with me so... why couldn´t we? First of all he brought back to me so many painful memories I´ve tried so hard to forget. However I felt my life would be incomplete if he wasn´t part of it. Thoughts filled my mind until I finally fell asleep.
