After Mockingjay

Chapter Three

We are walking back. I am so nervous. What if he doesn't like me and tries to hurt me? Johanna and I finally get back to my house. I walk in and Peeta and Haymitch jump off the couch. They come over to talk to me and Johanna. Haymitch says," Sweetheart, why did you just run off like that?" I don't answer I just look at Johanna like she is suppose to be answering. Johanna finally says, She was just nervous about seeing Peeta." I give her a death glare. Peeta does NOT like me! He thinks I am a mutt. Peeta looks at me, and I quickly look at my feet. Peeta is going to hurt me. I finally look up, and he is just staring at me in amazement. I finally get agervated with him just looking at me and finally speak up," What?" After that all I see is his eyes going from ocean-blue to a dark black. Uh-oh! He is having another flashback. Johanna steps in front of me to calm him down, but it doesn't help. He pushes Johanna away. I start running. He calling after me," Come here you mutt! You killed innocent people, the people you even say you love, and my family! So must kill you!" Prim. Is all I got out of that. Its all my fault! She's dead because of me!
I break down right there. My vision blurs. I can't breathe, I'm losing air. Everyone died because of me. I'm the cause of this pain and suffering everyone feels. I don't deserve to be here.
Someone slaps me. Hard. I look up to see who it was. Of course, Johanna.
"Katniss, you gave us heart attack. Don't scare us like that." I turn and notice that Peeta's eyes have went back to the mesmerizing blue. He gives me a soft smile, but I turn away almost to quick to notice.
  Haymitch helps me off the floor and sets me on the couch.
"Now, sweetheart I know you really don't want us here right now, but we're staying anyway. Because you and Peeta have some stuff to talk about. "
Johanna and Haymitch sit on the other side of the living room, and Peeta sits on the couch beside me. I scoot as far away as possible. He gives me a look of pity, and I turn away. I don't want his pity; I don't need it. Before anymore thoughts can consume my mind, Peeta starts talking," Katniss, I know we have both been through a lot. And we've both been changed because of the games. But I'm still Peeta. Sometimes flashbacks will come but we can work through that. And I know deep down, your still Katniss. I'm here to stay, and to never go." I look at Peeta. His face looks full of love. And out of instinct, I do something stupid, I hug him.
