Chapter 9

~ May 8th; Katniss's 17th birthday ~ 

Peeta's P.O.V.

"Alright, Kit-Kat, come this way." I say and help her out of the car.

"You guys, didn't have to do this. I didn't want anything for my birthday. I have the three of you." She says.

"We insist. You deserve a special day." Prim says with a big, bright, smile.

Katniss smiles down at her as I place something in her hand. An envelope containing the things she's always wanted to own but never had enough money for. Two concert tickets to go see her favourite band of all time, Hollywood Undead.

They were being opened by Twenty One Pilots and Coheed and Kambria, two other favourite bands of Katniss'. They were surely going to take her mind off Gale and her mother.

'Peeta, what is this?' She asks me, confused.

'Open it,' I urge her, 'you're gonna like it, trust me.'

Katniss's P.O.V.

I open it carefully to reveal two tickets sitting inside and take them out. Two tickets to see Hollywood Undead later this month. May 25th, nine o'clock sharp.

'Peeta, Prim, you guys didn't have to do this for me.' I say, 'how'd you afford them? They're like $20 a pop, you know.'

'We scraped together whatever we could find to get them both.' Prim explains, 'took a while but we got enough in time.'

'This is really sweet of you guys, thank you!' I'm on the verge of crying with happy tears. This means so much to me.

'Ooh! The line's moving!' Prim points out.

We move closer towards the entrance of the restaurant. Even with a reservation, you still have to wait in a line to get in. Not surprising, it's the most popular restaurant in town.

~••••Time Skip; May 25th- Concert!••••••~

We find our seats in the concert hall. People are talking around as they wait for the concert to begin. I'm excited for it to start but the look on Peeta's face tells a different story. He's never been keen on Hollywood Undead.

'Ready?' I ask him as the lights start to dim and everyone cheers as the first song starts to play.

It's 'Trees' by Twenty One Pilots. They're the opening band before the main event, the one thing everyone came to see.

The lead singer Tyler Joseph starts to sing the first line of the song as everyone starts to sing along with each word until the song is over.

A few more songs and cheers later, the main event begins. Everyone cheers louder as the opening of 'I don't Wanna Die' starts to play.

Danny steps to the front of the stage, ready to open the song with his angelic voice.

'I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die so you're gonna have to.' He sings as the crowd enjoys and sings along with his voice, 'blood is getting hotter, body's getting colder. Told you once, I'm the only one that holds her.'

Few minutes later and the song has gone from 'I don't Wanna Die' to 'Tendencies'. The audience cheers louder at this, obviously pleased about the turn of events.

The baby's pushing on my bladder, making me have to pee something rotten. But I don't want to miss any of this. I've missed too many chances to do other things, so why miss this? But I can't stand around for another minute unless I want to pee myself in front of a thousand other people.

'I need to pee. I'll be back soon.' I whisper to Peeta who nods in reply and yawns in a bored manner.

I head to the bathroom which is a few rows down, all the while clenching my bladder so I don't have an accident. I accidentally catch the eye of J-Dog, who gives me a look as if to say 'don't go in there'. But I shrug it off and head inside.

~•••~

I come out of the stall to wash my hands but automatically go back in when I realize who was in there with me.

Johanna, Glimmer and Clove, milling about talking and laughing and fixing their makeup in the front of the long bathroom mirror.

'Are you sure about this?' I hear Glimmer ask them. "I don't look fat?"

"No, you look fine. Besides, it's dark." Clove says.

"There is a bit of light though. If I find someone here, I want to look nice." She says and scoffs.

"You look fine, Glimm. Come on, we're missing the show." Johanna says.

I hear them walk to the door. It swings open and shut. I rest my hand on my stomach and try to breathe.

''That was a close one. Probably for the both of us, Sweetie. Girls are mean. And especially those girls.'' I say quietly.

I open the stall a little and look around. There isn't anyone here. And not them. I go to the sink and give myself a once over. I smile at myself. I look great, for being pregnant at sixteen. You can tell more now. I start to head out and go back to join Peeta. I run into someone by accident. We both exclaim.

"Oh my God, I'm so sor-" I stop dead in my tracks before I finish the sentence.

"Oh... My... God... girls look who we have here.." Glimmer says with a scoff.

"He-He-Hey guys." I say and swallow hard and step back.

"Well, would you look at that. Brainless got herself knocked up. Bet by some druggy who sold her dope." Johanna says with an evil smirk.

"Leave me alone, guys." I say and head to the door.

Clove blocks the door, and Glimmer and Johanna corner me against the wall.

"So Brainless, who's is that?" Johanna asks.

"None of your business. Now leave me alone." I say and try to move.

Glimmer pushes me against the wall by my shoulder. I let out a small cry.

"What's wrong Katniss? Scared you'll get hurt? Miscarry? Miss the concert? Miss your baby daddy? Gonna cry?" Glimmer asks and makes a fake pouty face and puts her bottom lip out.

"Well, someone real special has been waiting to see you. Two whole years in fact." Johanna says with a devilish smirk.

"You're lying. He-He moved to 2 after his release." I say, growing anxious and terrified.

"He will.. Once he has you." Glimmer says with a glare and smirk.

Johanna and Glimmer forcefully grab me.

"Stop! STOP! HELP! PEETA! PEE-" They cover my mouth with their hands and force me out. The push me down. I hit the ground hard enough my vision goes blurry. I can't see with the tears. My eyes and head are ringing and pounding. The force me up and practically drag me away. I am shoved into the arms of someone. The memories flood back at the touch of him.

"Good to see you, Catnip." He says and strokes my hair and kisses my head.

I feel something injected into my arm. I sink to my knees and my eyelids fall heavily. I black out.

Peeta's P.O.V.

Katniss leaves to use the restroom. Her taste in music isn't my favorite. But I love that girl, and want her to be happy. She deserves it. Some things just need to be given to her. She has been strong since her mother died, and Gale is out. But he's since moved to District 2. And there is a restraining order that he can't come within thirty five miles of her house, school, or work. And with the whole being pregnant, and having to earn all the money back, she's a wreck. I worry for her. I don't want to lose her or our daughter. We've been thinking of names for her. But have never really made an official name. I like Paisley Mila. Katniss hasn't really made a decision.

The songs aren't that bad to be honest. Kind of catchy and something I could get used to hearing. I, myself, like more of an Oldies type of guy. And a bit of country. But Katniss dislikes them both very much. So I only listen to them when I am alone. Someone bumps into me.

"Oh, hey! Sorry, dude... Holy Hell... Peeta Mellark?"

"Finnick? Cato? What are you doing here?" I ask, shocked.

"We brought the girls here." Cato says.

"Oh..." I say.

"Well, we're going to go. Good seeing you! We should hang out again, yeah?" Finnick says.

"Uh... sure... Maybe. I, just... I'm busy." I say cautiously.

"Maybe bring Katniss too. If you still talk to her and all. Maybe not, since the whole party fiasco." Cato says and pats my shoulder.

"Things are fine with her. We're dating now." I say and defend her and me.

"Whoa, chill, Bread Boy. We were just kidding. I bet she's better. You know, now that her Mom overdosed... and her Pop's isn't in the picture." Finnick says.

"Hey, lay off of her!! And don't come near us.. EVER!" I say growing angry.

"Better tell that to Gale. He's out now. He wants her back, Lover Boy. Just... keep an eye on her." Cato says sisterly.

"Catch ya later, Bread Boy." Finnick says.

Both of them punch my arm and then head off into the crowd. The next song ends and the crowd cheers. I try to contain myself from going after them. I could fight them. They have no right to talk about Katniss like that. She doesn't deserve this. They announce that this is the last song of the night. I pull out my phone. Katniss has been gone for close to an hour.

Me: Kat... where you at? Are you alright? The last song is playing. Hurry out so you don't miss it. Love ya.

I put my phone back in my pocket. The time goes on and the band finishes their last song. I look at my phone again and Katniss hasn't answered. I decide to call her.

"Hey, this is Katniss. Leave a message at the beep, Love!"

"Kat, Babe.. where are you? The concert is over. I'm going to head to the lobby. Just meet me there, K? Bye."

I stare at the phone for a short amount of time, then put it away and walk to the lobby worriedly. Hopefully she does meet me there. It takes a while before I can reach the lobby, since the crowd is just starting to clear out. I walk through the doors, an even bigger crowd fitted into one room. I can't even hear myself think. So I just stand there awkwardly, looking at my phone every now and then to get a reply from Katniss. But there is none. And it's already been 10 minutes. Ugh, I need to do something. She could be lost, trouble, or even worse.
