I rub my pounding head as Peeta carries me to the office.

All I can think about is what Peeta said. Is that true? did he only go out with Delly to make me jealous?

He lays me down on the small bed thats in there, and the nurse comes running in.

She gives me some painkillers, which do help.

"you are going to need stitches in your arm".

"ok" I mumble.

Soon enough, my stitches are in, and she says I can go. I have a huge headache, and my face has black, blue and purple bruises all over.

"Peeta, is that true? You only went out with Delly to get me jealous?" I ask.

He stops walking and looks at me. "yes. Its 100% true. I hate Delly" he says with a frown. "im sorry" he says.

"It's ok" I smile. "you know, if you wanted to ask me out, you dont have to make me jealous. I liked you before you dated Delly" I say truthfully.

"really?!" he says with a huge smile. "yup" in say popping the 'P'.

"well in that case, Katniss Everdeen, " he says and turns to face me. "will you do me the honors of going out with me?" he says with a cheeky smile. I giggle "Yes!"

His face turns into a huge smile. We link hands and start walking to his car. The nurse said I simply needed to go home, put ice on my bruises, and rest. So Peeta and I are skipping the rest of the day.

We drive home. I hope Peeta doesn't judge my poor house. I wouldn't guess he would but still.

"Well, this is home sweet home" I say sarcastically and laugh.

He smiles at me as we make our way up the steps. When we walk in, I flick on the light switch. "go lie down" he says gently to me and coos me towards the couch.

"ok".

"want me to get you something to eat?" he asks.

"um.. well.. there isnt really much to eat" I say honestly.

"I can make something" he smiles. He doesn't get it "no, Peeta, there is no food" I say, a hint of sadness in my voice.

"what?" he questions and walks over to the kitchen.

I quickly go to the kitchen. Its not like there is no food at all. I open the fridge and look inside. It contains half an apple, a bowl of, milk? What looks like some cheese, and some wrapped up tea leafs.

There must be something in the cupboard. There HAS to be.

When I open them, there is nothing. All I see when I open it up, is a stale loaf of bread, a box that has about 5 crackers in it, and some rice. How has she been living off this? Dont her parents have jobs?

I order two pizzas quickly before grabbing some ice and heading back to the living room.

I gently place the ice on her. "Katniss, how have you survived with so little food? that is not enough for you and your parents and Prim" I say with a frown, looking into her beautiful grey eyes.

" my dad died when I was 11. It hit me really hard. He was everything. Even though I was heart broken, it hit my mom the most. She blocked out the world. Left me and Prim to die. I have been taking care of them both ever sense. I hate my mom so much. She doesn't give a shit about anything. Just a bit ago she got a job, but I haven't seen her sense. Before we moved here, I hunted. I use to have a bow, but it was lost in a-a....fire" she whispers the last part. "Katniss..." I whisper and pull her into a hug. she has been through so much, has so little, yet, she Is the strongest person I know. She wraps her arms around me and I feel one or two of her tears hit my shirt.

After a bit of me holding her, the doorbell rings.

"I ordered pizza" I whisper into her hair. I can feel her smile.

"ok" she whispers as I scurry over to the door.

"thanks" I say to the Pizza man and hurry back to Katniss with the two pizzas.

we watch movies and eat Pizza all day till Prim comes home.

"Hey guys" she grins.

"Hey prim" I chuckle. "want some pizza?"

Her eyes go huge. "Yes!-uh, I mean, could I please?" she says with a smile. I chuckle.

"of course, dig in"

Later that night, after we finish the pizza and its getting late, I stand up. "I should be going home" I say.

"ok" Katniss frowns. She stands up and we walk to the door.

"see you tomorrow" I smile. She nods, and as im about to walk to my car, she leans up and plants a kiss on my cheek.

"thanks, Peeta" she says with a smile before blushing and closing the door behind her, slipping inside.

A smile floods over my face, and I cant help the small cheer that escapes from me as I jog to the car.
