As always Read & Review

Peeta POV

I run all the way home which is about 2 miles from the hospital, I race up the stairs and sit on my bed and that's when the tears start to fall down my cheeks, I don't deserve to be a part of anything brilliant or life-changing. I can't see Katniss ever again, I can't see what I've done to her, I'll have to drop out of the band I'm sure Cinna will understand, I'll tell him on Monday. I end up crying myself to sleep and I have the most restless night ever . . .

Monday (two days later)

I make my way to the arts department and find Cinna's office/ music studio, I knock and wait patiently until he answers the door, "Peeta! Come in, come in, listen I think I've found some really good songs for you to sing with Katniss!"

"Mr. Kravitz," I say cutting him off. "I'm dropping out of the band, they don't need me and I don''t deserve to be a part of it."

"But Peeta, what are you on about? I was talking to Katniss earlier this morning, she thought it was an amazing idea, but I don't think it was just because of the songs, if you know what I mean," he says hinting that he thinks Katniss has a thing for me.

"She doesn't, I am the reason for her going into hospital on Friday night! I don't deserve to be a part of the band!" I say becoming angry and stressed at the same time, why doesn't he understand me?

"Hold on a minute, I'll be right back." He gets up and walks into a seperate room leaving me alone but he soon returns with a photo which makes me become confused. "You know who these are right?" He asks, I glance down at the picture and see the most popular band in all of Panem I nod so he continues. "I was the lead guitarist in that band until the lead singer, Portia, fell off the stage because of my guitar lead she was in hospital for three weeks. I blamed myself for what had happened and walked out on the band and I've never spoke to them again since, I loved Portia but I don't think i'll ever forgive myself. I could've been a millionaire and be famous and had the girl of my dreams but instead I was a coward and walked away without even apologising that something they might not even think was my fault. Don't do what I did Peeta, you need this band and the band need you."

"But . . ." I begin but I'm interuppted by Katniss bursting into the room, I stare at her in shock.

"You said that it was an emergency?" She asks Cinna and then she looks at me, "Hi, Peeta."

"I don't think i'm persuading him, you've both got a free period am I correct?" he asks and we both nod, "Katniss try and persude him please. You two go, now!"

I walk out the room with Katniss by my side and she begins to ask questions, "What do I need to persuade you?" I explain the whole situation including Delly and Cato, she listens the entire time and when I've finished I realise she's climbing through a gap in the fence surrounding our school. She beckons me through and after contemplating it I follow her through the fence, I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to be out here but I continue to follow her.

"We shouldn't bump into Gale since now he spends all his time making out with Madge, it's cute and all but at the same time disgusting," she says pulling a face continuing through what seems to be a forest, why would Gale come here? "Oh, look! One of his snares has caught a rabbit, he'll be happy!"

"Katniss, where are we going? My feet are killing me!" I say which is completely true, my feet are stumbling over roots and bushes and i'm having to jog to keep up with Katniss. We come to an opening and there's is a big rock on the edge of a high cliff, Katniss sits on the rock looking out over the view I walk forward and sit beside her the view is amazing, I can just imagine sitting here and watching the sunset it would be so beautiful. "This place is beautiful."

"I come here to clear my head sometimes, I thought it would help you."

"I'm sorry about what I did Katniss," I tell her sadly. "I really am."

"It wasn't your fault Delly and Cato chose to cheat on us, and anyway I think you've already proved how sorry you were after beating Cato up." She says, "Why did you do it?"

"Why shouldn't I have done, he was walking out the door smirking to himself thinking he'd got away with everything," I begin to clench my fists and Katniss places her hands on one of them and I slowly unclench them. "What was I supposed to do?"

I look at her, expecting an answer but in the few seonds she's thinking of an answer, I see the real difference between Katniss and Delly, Katniss isn't sexy, she isn't an open book, she's secretive and beautiful. Her voice snaps me back to reality, "you did everything right except from this idea that Cato cheated on me with Delly so therefore it's your fault. It's their choice you didn't know anything and you can't leave the band."

"Why can't I, it's not as if anyone needs me," I say a bit selfishly.

"Marvel needs you, Finnick needs you, Gale needs you and . . ." she hesitates before adding, "I need you."

I look into her shining grey eyes and see nothing except honesty, the band needs me and there's no denying that, I beginning to rethink the whole idea of leaving the band, it's not fair on the other four. I see her smile and turn back to the view, "So what's your favourite colour?"

"What?" I laugh at her question and she looks at me and she's serious, "sunset orange, what's yours?"

"Green, forest green," she says and smirks.

"What?" I ask in curiosity she just shakes her head so I let it pass and ask her a question, "how do you like your tea?"

She bursts out laughing before answering, "milk and three sugars, you?"

"little milk and half a sugar, I also always double knot my shoe laces and sleep with the windows open, I also paint and bake. Anything else you want to tell me about you?" I ask her listing everything random about myself I can possibly think of.

"I don't really do anything except archery and my favourite food is lamb stew with plums, I only ever wear my leather boots that's why I've had so many detentions because I wear them to school and my sister owns an evil cat she calls Buttercup," we both sit there and laugh at her description of Buttercup the cat, which i'm guessing she doesn't like, she has amazing and amazing laugh, everything about her is amazing.

I think I'm in love Katniss Everdeen.
