Here's another chapter mostly Peeta's POV but a bit of katniss at the end. Enjoy and please review Xx
Chapter 11
(Peeta POV)
I carry Kat up to her room and lie her down on her bed. I lie down with her and hold her until she falls asleep. I can't leave her.
I call my dad.
"erm hey dad..." I say when he picks up.
"Hey son, Are you on your way back now?"
"Dad would it be possible if I stayed with Kat? When I got here... something happened and dad... I can't leave her" I ask
"Err... Hmm I don't know I can't run the bakery alone... is Katniss okay?" My dad says
"Call rye he owes me after I took his shift while he was on a date and she's okay she's sleeping now but she's... in a bad place right now and her sister is at a friend's house"
"Okay son. Protect her, keep her safe. Don't let anything happen to her"
"I won't dad. I can't let anything happen to her, you know that dad. You know I will always protect her with my life."
"Yeah I know son."
"Bye" I say and hang up. I sigh deeply and clutch my hands to my head. What am I going to do? I look at Kat.
I pick up her phone and call prim.
"Hey Kat..."
"Hey prim its Peeta..." I say
"Oh hi Peeta... what's up? Where's Katniss?"
"Look Prim I need you to come home... something happened" I say.
"OMG what happened? Is she okay?" she says concern and worry lacing her voice.
"Well I don't really know. Something happened with her and that boy. She's... It's like she's shut down. She's asleep now but Prim I don't know what to do."
"Okay I'm on my way I'll be there in about 5 or 10 minutes"
"Okay" She hangs up.
I sit on the bed next to Kat and gently stroke her hair. I go down to her kitchen and make two glasses of water and walk back up stairs.
When I walk back into Kat's room I see her on the bed tangled in her quilt and blanket. She's thrashing around and she has tears streaming down her face. Her jaw is clenched. I quickly put the glasses down and run over to her. I shake her shoulder. "Kat come on wake up" I say desperately. "Kat wake up". She bolts up sitting straight. She sob's violently. I sit next to her and hold her tight against me. She buries her head in my chest. I rock her slowly.
"It was Cato and Gale and he..." she says before breaking into sobs again.
"Shhh it's okay. It wasn't real, none of its real. You're okay." I tell her to soothe her. I hear the door downstairs open and I feel Kat tense "Hey Kat its okay it's just Prim, okay? I called her." She nods into my chest. I hear Prim running upstairs. The door open's and she bursts into the room breathless.
"Katniss what happened? What did he do?"
"I'll go downstairs call me if you need anything" I start to gently lift Kat off me but she grabs my arm and shakes her head.
"Don't go" she says I can hear the terror in her voice and I know I have no choice but to stay. "Please don't leave me"
"I'm not going anywhere I'm gonna be right here...Always." I say
"Always" she mutters her voice croaky and hoarse from her tears.
"Katniss what happened?" Prim says. Katniss sits up a bit and Prim sits crossed-legged on the end of her bed.
"Gale and I were talking and he said he was staying here and that his family moved because his mother got a job down here and I stood up and hugged him..." her eyes glaze over, tears forming in her eyes but not yet spilling over. She continues "when I tried to pull away he held me there a small distance away and he kissed me..." the tears spill over and slowly stroke their way down her already tear stained face.
Prim gasps and quietly mutters in a barely audible voice "against your will?" and Kat gives a tiny nod before continuing.
"I tried to push him off but he was too strong and he wouldn't stop. He was like Cato and... And I hit his groin with my knee and he finally let go" I wipe her tears gently from her face.
"Not to make light of the situation but...nice one Katniss" Prim says which brings the smallest of smiles to her face before her sad demeanour reclaims its place on her face.
"He fell... but he got back up and I was backed against the wall, I couldn't do anything... He kissed me again and he... he... put his hands under my top" she says, the last sentence whispered so quietly I'm not sure prim even heard. However her loud gasp claims that she heard.
"It's going to be okay Katniss everything will be fine I promise. Gale won't come near you again and if he does you'll have Peeta" She looks to me hope on her face and plead dripping from her eyes and Kat's face turns from her lap to look up to me.
"Of course. Always. That son of a bitch won't touch you Kat not while I'm here to stop him and I will ALWAYS be here. Forever and always as long as you want me" I say with a sad smile. I wipe her tears and she snuggles into my tears. "Why don't you go get something to eat she's tired. I'll stay with her."
(Katniss POV)
Prim gives a small nod and heads out the room. Peeta gently lies me down and then lies next to me. He puts his arm around me and i lay my head on his chest.
"Did you mean everything you said when prim was here, about always being here and forever and always and that he would never come near me" I mumble into his chest.
"Of course I did Kat, every last word. I won't anything hurt you and I will protect you with my life" He says his strong heart beat and breathing lull me into a sleepy daze.
"Always" he whispers into my hair.
"Always."
Sorry if some readers found this hard to read or if anyone disagrees with this but this part is vital to find out about Katniss' past so I'm sorry to everyone who likes gale or ship's galeniss but it's my story if you don't like what happens simply stop reading (but please don't because this isn't even the most exciting part that I have planned). Please review and tell me what you think Xx
