I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to update. I have been busy finishing up eighth grade and preparing for high school next year. I've also had really bad writer's block. One of my best friends, ForeverEverdeen (you have to read her story, its awesome), had to help me come up with an idea, so a thank you to her. I will try and update more often, but I'm really busy for the next month. Enjoy this chapter!

DISCLAIMER: Don't own the Hunger Games and I never will.


Peeta's POV

"Come on, Peeta. I know you want to be there for Katniss, but you need a guys' night out," Gale said.

"Yea, I even heard Annie mention the girls are taking Katniss out. You have to come," Finnick added. I knew they were right. I had gone to the hospital with Katniss basically everyday.

"Fine, where are we going?" I asked. My friends cheered.

"It's this new restaurant downtown," Cato said. They pulled me to the door and we started walking to the restaurant. This was my first night I wasn't spending with Katniss in weeks. Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to enjoy this as much as they think I will?

Katniss's POV

"No," I said for he millionth time.

"Please, you have to come. We haven't spent much time with you in weeks," Annie pleaded. My friends were trying to get me to go to dinner with them.

"I can't leave Prim. What if she wakes up? What if things get worse?" I said, trying desperately to get out of this.

"Even Peeta is going out with the guys. You need a break from sleeping in chairs and eating hospital food," Johanna said.

"The guys got him to go out?" I asked. Everyone nodded. "Fine, I'll go," I said defeated. My friends smiled and started dragging me to a restaurant.

We were eating and I had to admit, I was actually enjoying myself. I didn't think I would because of my sister and not being with Peeta, but I was wrong. We had just ordered dessert when I heard a girl laugh really loud. She was talking to some guy that was surrounded by girls. When she moved, I could see who this guy was. When I realized who, I was really shocked. My blood started to boil when she kissed his cheek. My night had been officially ruined.

"Katniss, are you okay?" Madge asked. I didn't avert my eyes. They must have looked where I was staring because they all gasped.

"That can't be..." Clove started to say. I got up and hurried out to the parking lot. When I got out there, I started running home.

When I got home, I ran to my room and cried. How could Peeta do that to me.

Peeta's POV

I was having fun, I had to admit. I even ran into some people I knew. Turns out, my cousins were in the same restaurant. I was talking to them, catching up on everything. It was nice to relax, but I really missed Katniss.

"I would love to stay and hang out, but I really should check on my girlfriend. Her sister go hit by a car and is in a coma. It was nice seeing you," I said.

"It was great to catch up, Peeta," my cousin, Liz, said. I walked outside and headed for Katniss's house.

When I got there, her mother answered the door. "Katniss, Peeta is here," her mother said.

"Tell him to go away!" she screamed back. Go away? Why didn't she want to see me?

"Maybe you should go, Peeta. Maybe you can talk to her I school tomorrow."

"Okay," I said. I walked back home, wondering why she didn't want to see me.

The next day at school, Katniss and her friends were completely ignoring me. "What's going on with the girls? None of them are talking to me."

"None of them have spoken to us," Gale said.

"Annie has said a word to me since yesterday," Finnick said depressed. I noticed Katniss at her locker.

"I'm getting to the bottom of this," I said walking over to her. "What's up? You haven't said a word to me all day. You told me to go away last night. Why?"

"Because I'm mad at you," she said. I shot her a confused look. "Oh, don't play dumb. I know what I saw. I can't believe you would act like nothing happened. I saw what happened last night. I can't believe you. I thought you cared about me. You said you would never hurt me. You promised. You know I've been having trouble since Prim got hurt and I'm sorry if you can't handle that. But you should tell me to my face instead of going behind my back. I thought you were different. But it looks like I was wrong. Peeta Mellark, I never want to see you ever again!" She stormed off.

What just happened? Did she just break up with me? What did I do? I felt about the size of a marble.

"What happened?" Marvel asked.

"I have no idea."


I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Do you think Katniss will listen to Peeta? Will he even figure out what she's talking about? Will it affect their friends' relationships? Please review! I will try and update soon but I can't promise anything. I'm in the middle of track and field season and I still have a few eighth grade/high school things to do.
