I am going crazy. It's been hours since the rescue team went to the Capitol to save the Victors. I just hope Peeta's ok. I couldn't bear loosing him. I love him. Yeah you heard me right. I said LOVE him and I am going to tell him when they come back.
Suddenly Haymitch bursts through the door.
"They're back." He says.
"Where's Peeta? Is he okay?" I say concerned.
"He's in the hospital. The doctors are checking him. The gas should wear off soon. You should go."
Without thinking twice I'm out the door sprinting towards the hospital.
When I arrive there I see Finnick hugging a red headed girl, a weak and shaved Johanna and then Gale with an ice pack on his shoulder. He looks at me and says "he's down the hall."
I run till I get there. There he is. The boy with the bread. My dandelion in the spring. Sitting with his back facing me.
"Peeta." I say.
He turns around and his gaze meets mine. I look into those dazzling blue eyes and get lost.
"Katniss!" He says and gets up and starts running towards me with his arms open.
I start to run towards him too.
When we reach each other he engulfs me in a tight hug. And of course I hug him back.
"I love you, Peeta. Please don't ever leave me again. I need you to survive. I'm sorry it took me this long to realize it." I say as I start to sob.
"I love you too, Katniss, so so much. I thought you were never going to love me back." He says.
"That's the thing Peeta. I have always loved you but I was to blind to realize it until you were taken away from me. Promise me you won't ever leave me."
"I promise."
And with that our lips connect. This kiss is like the kiss we shared on the beach. Just for us. Not for the Capitol or the cameras not even for Snow. And it is filled with love and need.
We keep kissing until we have to come up for air. And then we just stand there in each other's embrace.
That night I went to sleep with Peeta by my side. With no nightmares. And his arms protecting me form everything. Safe. That's how I feel in his arms. And nothing or no one can change that.
I know we will have to fight soon but at least I have MY Peeta back. And we will protect each other. Because that's what he and I do. We protect each other.
