This chapter will be from Katniss´s POV, I hope you enjoy ;)
Chapter 8: Apples
I woke up early in the morning that day, Peeta was still sleeping so I decided to take a look at the place, we were in the middle of the forest, I don´t know… but I had the feeling that I had been here before. To be honest there was nothing to explore, the bombs destroyed a great part of the forest. I got impatient quickly and woke him up. "Good morning" I said, "Oh, good morning Katniss, ready to leave?" he said with a big smile on his face. I was a little weirded out with everything he did, I barely knew him and said he loved me, and also he blushed and smiled constantly, this was just a little too uncomfortable for me.
We walked for ages, which was ironic since the forest wasn´t that huge. He continued talking to me about my past, I was already tired of hearing the same thing all over again, he still hoped that I´ll miraculously remember everything just because he wants me to, however I kept these thought to myself, I knew if I told him he would be very sad, and I didn´t wanted to see him sad because it made me sad, it was almost like my happiness depended on Peeta´s happiness.
"We are finally here Katniss" he said, I stopped and looked at the little house. It was near a pond, in the middle of the forest, I wondered if I had been here before. "You used to tell me stories about your father bringing you here to swim in the pond, that´s where you learned to swim, Katniss" he said, I just nodded, we entered the little house. It was only a little room, with a chimney and an old sofa. "Well, I guess this will be our home ´till Paylor gives up" he said. I realized we had nothing but the clothes we wore to survive. I was getting hungry so I decided to explore the area in case I saw something we could eat. Luckily there was an apple tree near the pond. I was starving and I was clearly going to do the impossible to get those apples so I started to climb the tree, it was harder than it looked. It took me about an hour to finally get the apples, when I finally got them I went back to the house, Peeta was sleeping at the sofa, poor boy; he was probably more tired than me. I tried to be as quiet as possible, but some apples fell hard on the floor and woke him up, "You hungry?" I asked him with a smile as I showed him the apples. "Katniss thanks! Where did you find them?" he said, I gave him one apple and he continued smiling. "Near the pond" I said. That day we ate about eight apples in total, we were really tired so we went to sleep.
The following days we had the same routine, eating apples, talking about my past and sleeping. It was getting kinda boring, so one day while Peeta spoke to me about myself I interrupted him and said "I think I know everything about myself now, so tell me about you Peeta". He looked surprised, "Me? I don´t think I have an interesting life to tell you about, your life and my life are pretty similar, besides, who would like to hear my story?" he said, his face began to get really red. "Well, I do" I said, I grabbed his hand, which made him blush even more. He smiled and said "Well, my family owned a small bakery in town; I was the youngest, I had two brothers. In the bakery I mostly did the cake decorations." "And what happened to your family?" I said, and instantly regretted it. "M-my family? They are dead" he said, I noticed many tears streaming down his face, and felt bad for him, "Oh, I´m sorry Peeta, I am really sorry" I said. I didn´t wanted to continue talking about his dead family so I asked "So what about mine?" Peeta took a deep breath, he was still sobbing when I saw him, so I gave him some time, "Your dad was a coal miner, he… died on a mine explosion, your mother, is a healer, she lives on district 2 now, she came to visit you remember?" he said, "Yeah, I remember, Mrs. Everdeen, sweet lady, I didn´t knew she was my mother though… so is that all?" I said, he sighted, "You had a younger sister, Primrose, she wanted to become a doctor…" I interrupted him, "So she lives with my mother on district 2 right?" I smiled and waited for a response, Peeta said nothing. My smile faded as time passed, "Right?!" I waited for his response, alarmed; he finally spoke "Katniss I…" "What happened to her?!" I said, trying not to shout at him. "Katniss… She died, after an explosion, at the capitol… I am really sorry" he said. I began crying, not because she was dead, but because I couldn't remember my own sister, I had no happy/sad memories about her, and she was gone, I would never know anything about her, except what Peeta told me, never! I went to sleep after that, I cried myself to sleep.
That morning I woke up extremely late, the sun was already up, I got up and searched for Peeta, he was sitting by the pond, playing with the water, I sat down beside him, "That´s the reason why Katniss" he said, I was confused "What?" I said, "That´s the reason why I am not daring to lose you Katniss… you are the only person I have left, all my family is dead… except you" he said, I felt comforted by his words, so I grabbed his hand and said "You won´t lose me" he looked at me and smiled, he was blushing again while he spoke "Thanks, but to avoid losing you promise not to get lost, ok?". I laughed and nodded, I went back to the little house and grabbed a couple of apples, I went back to the pond and handed them to Peeta, we ate apples together till the afternoon, I think the more time we spent together the more I started to fall for him. That was a peaceful afternoon, little did I knew that would be our last peaceful afternoon…
