We find a nice meadow and Gale asks to stop because there's a river nearby. We'll have a good food source, and the grass in the meadow is high. We'll be concealed, and we already walked seven miles today. Despite the chaos of today, we hauled ass through the forest.

Peeta and I found a spot away from everyone and we sat down across from each other. My fingers bob involuntarily as I sit restless with my head in Peeta's lap. He braids and unbraids my hair as we relax. "I want to be married in a meadow like this." I whisper. "I want the sun to be setting, so it's orange. Like you like, then I want to have only the people we love there. It has to be about us and only us."

He smiles and bends down kissing my forehead lightly. "I wish we could have done it sooner." He tells me.

"Peeta, I don't need to be married to you to be happy. All I need to know is that you love me."

"And I do." He nods.

"Well then what's it matter?" I smile.

"Nothin, I'm just here to make you happy. And if your happy I'm happy."

"And your doing a damn good job." I smile and pull him down to kiss me. Happily he does and instantly relaxes into it playing with my hair.

"I love you Pe-" I stop dead when I hear leaves crunch and the brush ahead of us move. We're in high grass so all we can see is the swift movement of it a few seconds after moving. "Did you see that?" I ask quietly.

"N-No." He stutters. I load my bow and crouch down in front of Peeta to protect him.

Suddenly a body runs to us landing beside us laughing loudly. "GAAAAH!" He yells as he laughs.

"Gale! Seriously, that's not funny. I was ready to kill you!"

"Sorry Catnip, I just wanted to see if you guys wanted to go for a walk. Just use three."

"You ain't gonna kill us are yah?" I joke as I stand with Peeta.

"Probably not, take your bow if you don't believe me." I smile and leave my bow there as we make our way to the huge pond we found. I sit down next to it and Gale attempts to teach Peeta how to spear a fish.

"Like this!" Gale shouts spearing a fish and waving it in his face jokingly.

"Blah blah blah." Peeta mumbles. I steal a look at them and their just in their pants. I've never see Gale actually shirtless, he's not as toned as Peeta. Peeta has much more muscle definition then Gale does. A smile forms on my face as I remind myself he's mine and only mine.  "I'll never figure it out!" Peeta screams.

"Yes you will!" Gale persists. "Watch, find the fish, point the spear, and chuck it. There's a fish now, do it!"

Peeta runs through the steps and finally gets one and I cheer from the banks. "I TOLD YOU YOUD GET ONE!" Gale yells jumping on top of him plunging him into the water.

I hear a muffled scream and I stand. Peeta's punches Gale over and over as he dunks him into the water. "Peeta stop!" I yell swimming towards him.

I pull them apart and have him look me in the eyes. "Stop Peeta. Your safe. I promise."

Peeta nods and walks off from our view and I turn my attention to Gale. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up." I pull on his hand.

I sit him on the bank and start to wipe the single spot on his lip. It's busted and bleeding and I half smile. "We're twins now." I smile. He just shakes his head.

"What's his problem!" He asks angrily.

"He had a flashback. From when we were in the quarter quell and he fought the man from three in the water." I wipe his head one last time. "I'm sorry." I whisper.

"It's not your fault."

"It's not his." I counter. He nods and stands.

"I'm gonna to back to Cressida." I nod and wait till he's gone to punch the tree.

Why can nothing go my way? I just want to marry my fiancé and live in a world when I don't have to be scared!

I look down at my bleeding hand and shrug it off when I hear Peeta's screams. I run to them and find him in a pile on the ground.

"Hey, your okay. I'm right here. Your okay Peeta. Nothing can hurt you, I love you." I repeat as he crawls into my lap and sobs hard. "Your okay sweetheart." I whisper into his hair. "Shh shh." I wipe my knuckles on the grass and leave behind a stained patch.

He holds me tightly and I kiss his golden locks. "Thank you." He whispers hoarsely.

"That's what I'm here for." I smile. He looks up at me with red eyes and a tear soaked face.

"Is Gale mad?"

"A little, but he'll get over it. He wasn't in two hunger games, now was he?" I smile at him.

"I should apologize." He nods.

"Okay, but first." I guide his lips to mine with my fingertips. I kiss him slow and he tastes of cinnamon and salty tears. I realize he's still shirtless and I smile. "Do you want to put a shirt on?" I whisper with our foreheads together.

"Y-Yeah. I'm sorry i-"

"Peeta, it's okay. I don't hate it." He smirks and kisses me again roughly. "I said you looked nice, didn't say I wanted to loose my virginity with our squad right next to us."

He laughs. "Maybe next time." We both laugh and I nod. I stand and hold him close for a few seconds before he takes my hand and we start walking. The squads gathered at the pond looking for us, everyone smiles when they see us. Probably because he's shirtless.

"What were the star crossed lovers doing in the weeds?" Haymitch smirks. We make our way to them and Peeta holds his hand out to Haymitch who gladly high-fives him.

"We didn't do anything." I admit.

"Then where were you?" Johanna asks.

"I had a flashback." Peeta says with a straight face. Everyone stays silent and I collect the fish they had caught earlier. Peeta shakes Gale's hand and apologized to Gale.

Before I knew it, dinner was over and we all went to bed. Peeta held me tight, he was a little in easy about having to sleep in the open. I sleep with my hand on my knife like I saw Clove do in our first games.

When I finally felt at peace, my body turned off and sent me into a peaceful sleep.
