Katniss' POV

Oh my god.

He was here

Why?

I wish he'd just leave. Leave and never come back, but I could still hear the pounding on the door, which matched the pounding of my heart.

"Katniss?" Peeta questioned nervously

"Katniss?" He asked again

"Oh, wait! What?" I answered startled, not realizing he was talking to me

"Are you okay?" Peeta questions, raising his eyebrow

I slowly nodded, turning my head to the blank wall opposite me, gently sitting down on the floor with my back against the wall.

I felt Peeta throw himself down beside me.

I tried to breathe slowly and stay calm, but I could feel the hysteria rising inside me.

"Why's he here?" I asked.

I didn't mean to say it out loud, but I apparently had.

"I don't know" Peeta whispered tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

The constant banging was starting to get on my nerves.

"Oh shut up!" I screamed at the door. The banging stopped.

Peeta wiped away a tear that was running down my cheek.

"Thank you" I mumbled.

Peeta didn't reply, instead he wrapped his arm around me.

Peeta finally spoke up over a minute later "it's okay, he'll go away eventually"

So naturally Peeta and I tried to go about our day, when he left we went to the bakery, we saw him heading in, but the door slammed in his face.

I knew he was still outside when we went to bed.

And that was a terrifying thought.
