(Katniss's POV)
he whispered words in my ear i never thought i would hear from him, words of care and compassion? when has rick ever been kind or even nice to me! hes always been flirty and wanting me to go out with him and now hes acting nice? has he really changed?
"dont worry katniss peeta was my best friend i miss him too" rick whispers in my ear and i froze, what was he trying to do here? hes being kind to me since when is rick kind! but im in need of someone to just help me and comfort me. what austin said was horrible and crushed me maybe i was wrong maybe hes not peeta just some guy who looks like him. but what if it isnt i mean peeta's body was never found it crashed near distrist 6 it could be him but how do i prove it him. i look over at austin or peeta whoever he is and i reconize it before anyone else. the clouding of his eyes him clenching his fists my husband was having one of his attacks.
"everyone out" i scream standing up they look at me like im crazy and i just glare at them. "get! out! i told you!" i scream again and they all rush out well all except peeta and rick. i turn to rick and glare at him. "get the fuck out rick!" i yell and turn to peeta hes stood up now and has his glare aimed at me i walk slowly over to him. "peeta..." i coo "stop remember not real peeta this is not real none of this is real come on peeta" i repeat stepping closer and closer to him i finally get within arms reach of him. i go to grab his hand and thats when i feel his hands on my throat squeezing tighter and tighter choaking me squeezing the life from me. before i black out i see something above peetas head and then i go limp.

i wake up a few hours later im in a hospital room and the one person i dont expect to see is here.
"rick?" i say quietly "what happened? wheres peeta?" i ask quickly my husband is alive and hes not here i want to know where he went. rick sighs beside me.
"katniss its ok just calm down austin chocked you and now your in the hospital and if you mean austin hes in a different room getting some work done on him" he says and i shake my head.
"no! stop let him go! i love him the way he is and its not austin its peeta there is only one person in this whole world who has attacks like that. its my husband peeta mellark!" i say and sit up getting out of bed "now tell me where my husband is before i punch your face in!" i threaten and he bites his lip.
"just down the hall three doors down on you left" he says and points out the door.
"thank you" i say and walk down the hall into his room "peeta?" i say softly peeking my head in "are you in here?" i ask sweetly the way i usually talk after he has an episode like this. he looks up at me.
"katniss?" he says quietly "what are you doing here i almost killed u!" he said and all i can do is smile.
"im here because there is only one person in this whole world that do what you just did" i said "thats my husband" i smile at him and looks at me like im crazy.
"huh?! katniss i almost killed you! only a complete idiot would do that!" he says and i smile.
"then im the biggest idiot of them all!" i say and walk over to his bed. "there is only one person in the world who has those attacks and thats my husband." I smile sitting beside him. "your peeta and of that I'm sure" he just looks confused.
"those aren't attacks katniss rick said they were-" he starts and something clicked in my brain 'rick? rick! this is all his fault!; 
"rick! he told you this!" I almost scream interrupting him I storm out of the room and back into mine rick is still there and I slam him into the wall.
"what did you tell him! what did you do to him!" I yell at his face and he just looks at me shocked and scared.
"what I didn't do anything what are you talking about?" he asks frantically trying to get away from me I just push him harder against the wall.
"you know what rick! what did you tell peeta to forget me!" I scream in his face. how could someone be so heartless he had a family who loved him and he loved back. he just laughs and looks at me.
"I didn't tell him anything to forget you that crash is what did it I just changed his past he thinks I'm his best friend he thinks he's lived here his whole life katniss he doesn't love you anymore that wasn't my fault when I found him he didn't love you so really I just gave him a new life so now you can be with me" he says and before I know it his lips are on mine and he's kissing me I push him hard in the chest and step away from him my fists clenched tightly at my sides.
"get the fuck away from me you bastard!" I scream tears in my eyes how could he tell me that and think I could ever love him he took my husband away from me! I walk out of the room and out of the hospital I don't care if I wasn't supposed to leave my room I need to think and I go to the only place I can, the forest. I climb under the fence and climb up a tree close to the fence and burst into tears. I lost him possibly forever and I cant do anything to get him back I have to leave tomorrow my kids need me. I sigh I have to stay peeta needs me more and I need him. I need him back I pull out my cell phone I am required to have and call my house thankfully after a few rings haymitch is the one to answer.
"hello" says a sleepy voice I forgot 6 is in a different time zone then 12.
"haymitch! I need to talk to you I'm not coming home tomorrow I might not be for a while" I tell him and he's suddenly awake.
"what do you mean by that! katniss you have to come home!" he says I sigh
"haymitch I found peeta don't tell the kids but he doesn't remember any of us he doesn't even know who I am and I know its him because he had an attack and he went after me haymitch its him I have to stay I have to get him to remember" I say quietly.
"alright sweetheart but what am I going to tell the kids?" he asks I bite my lip.
"I don't know haymitch I will be home in a week at the longest ok? no matter what happens I promise" I say I hear him and he sighs.
"ok sweetheart see you in a week" he says I nod.
"see you in a week bye haymitch" I say
"bye sweetheart" he says and we hang up.
"what am I going to do" I ask myself
"why not ask me" says a voice and before I even turn to look at who it was I already know. its rick.

(Katniss' POV)
my heart dropped did he just say those words he didnt love me and even worse he loved another girl.
"what..." i look at him hoping to god hes lying but the look on his face says all to well hes telling the truth.
"im in love with someone else katniss im sorry....i should never of let it get this far" he says stepping back from me and avoiding my gaze. i shake my head and look at him.
"no austin i never should have let it go anywhere im sorry" i tell him and walk away trying to hide the fact im crying. i have lost him my husband, the father of my kids, and the only man i could ever actually love. now he is gone from my life possibly forever. i walk away quickly im crying hard how could i not cry my husband does even remember me he doesnt know his name and when i try to tell him who he really is he gets mad at me and to top it off he tells me hes doesnt even love me but another girl!
(Peetas POV)
i feel bad for her she just wanted someone to love and to love her now she found that person. im that person she loves but i just broke her heart i told her i loved someone else how can she even still like me after that. i sigh and look down i just destroyed a relationship with an amazing girl whos kind funny and smart.
"hey austin! what did you do to katniss to make her cry so bad?" a voice said from behind me.
"rick leave me alone!" i practically yelled at him turning around to face him. Rick works at the bakery with me hes helping me out since im the new manager mostly with all the paperwork. hes the one who found me wandering the district and he helped me get a new life i think i ran from somewhere but im not sure rick said i am from 5 hes seen me there a lot of times. i hit my head on something and i got slight amnesia the doctor said i remember parts of my past but most of them i dont i remember i had a friend i forget his name but he looked like rick so i guess thats who it is and i remember im a baker. he said we have been best friends since we were little and hes filled me in on my whole life, so know i know most of my memories. its all thanks to rick.
"woah calm down! it was just a question austin but you obviously did something to her she ran out of the hotel crying who knows where shes going" he said and shrugs "but you dont care" he turns to leave but smirks and faces me "before i leave tell me how you did it?" he asks
"did what" i ask confused
"how were you able to get katniss to love you that quick" he says "since her husband died and she took his place as bakery manager for district 12 all of us guys have been trying to hook up with her and here you come along and shes fallen in love with you at first sight! you must have done something to her! i know you look like peeta but he died everyone knows that" he says i look at him.
"you dont get it shes was married shes hurting oh look i come along i could be her husbands twin she thinks i am her husband! rick and i told her i was in love with someone else!" i say and he laughs.
"who?!" he asks not believing me
"i dont know i just wanted her to leave me alone" i say softly "now i regret it i hurt her a lot" i look down sad. he shrugs and looks at me.
"what can you do austin? but come on we have to get back to the meeting" he tells me and i start heading back with him.
"alright but its gonna be horrible being in the same room with her after what i told her" i sigh "i hurt her bad if she ran off crying" i look down "but whats done is done right?" i say and he nods
"yep definatly austin" he says and we walk into the room katniss is aready there so is everybody else i take the seat farthest from katniss and rick takes the seat next to her. he wraps his arm around her looking like hes trying to comfort her she pushes him away until he whispers something to her and she stops and lets him hold her. i clench my fists how dare he do that to her! but why do i care i jut broke her heart. i am not allowed to care after what i did to her so i ignore them and listen to the rest of the meeting.
(Rick's POV)
finally! katniss is letting me touch her maybe i can be her next husband i know austin is really peeta but i have had a crush on katniss since i saw her on TV for the 74th hunger games. i knew back then i wouldnt be able to marry her or anything but that was then this is now and now shes trusting me to comfort her after what austin said. after what i changed peeta into so i could marry katniss i had it all planned out kill off peeta i rigged the hovercraft to crash to kill him when that didnt happen i found out he had amnesia i decided to change his entire life believe he was a different person. knowing peeta he would give the bakery over to katniss and then katniss would have to goto these stupid bakery meetings. then i would be able to make my move on her! get her to fall in love with me! then marry her and by the time peeta regained his memory i have already married katniss and shes already fallen in love with me. he would have lost his wife and i would have gotten the best girl in the world. but if she keeps thinking he is peeta i might have to destroy him once and for all!

(Katniss' POV)
i was looking at him waiting for his reaction but he just sat there and looked at me like i was crazy.
"peeta?" i whisper and that seems to snap him back to reality.
"katniss! im not peeta! im not your husband!" he screams at me. i jump away from him scared.
"pee-" i start.
"i am not peeta katniss! ive told you im not! im sorry your in pain because you husband died but you cant find someone random on the street that looks like him and immediately think hes your husband" he says calming down a bit. i look at him and whisper.
"your birthday is august 15" he looks at me astonished.
"how-how did you know that?" he askes and i look down.
"thats peetas birthday" i say quietly and he just stares at me in disbelief.
"but im not peeta katniss!" he almost yells. i look at him with my soft grey eyes i know he loves.
"how do you know that? you have the same birthday as my husband you look exactly like my husband how can you not be him!?" i ask standing up he just stands up and walks to the door.
"just get ready for the conferance its in an hour" he says and walks out quickly and with venom in his voice. 'im pushing him away.....' i think.
(Peeta's POV)
i walk angrily back to my house 'who does she think she is! coming here and demanding that im her husband!' i walk inside and take a quick shower get changed and walk back to the hotel. i am hoping this weekend is over soon i dont want to be around katniss anymore! i walk into the conferance room and of course i lost track of time and im the last one there. 'great' i think the only available seat is next to katniss. i sigh and sit there and the conferance begins about 4 or so hours later we get let out for a bit to get something to eat. before i can move an inch katniss has grabbed my arm.
"please all i want to do is talk" she says in a voice that i cant say no to but if i werent mistaken it sounded like she was gonna cry. so i nod and follow her out. she leads me around back and once we get there i can tell shes crying. i quickly go and hug her.
"katniss whats wrong?" i ask quickly
"im sorry" is all she says back and i look at her confused.
"what are you apoligizing for? if anything i should be apologizing" she looks up at me with tears still in her eyes and i wipe them away. "im sorry for yelling at you and getting mad its just hard because you are a very stubborn and persistant person and you probably push prople over the edge more then you should." i see a hint of a smile form on her lips and she looks me straight in the eyes.
"thank you" she says quietly "but im sorry i was pushing you into making you think your my husband it was wrong of me to do that and im sorry" she says and smiles "oh by the way you just described me perfectly thats how almost everyone i know describes me" i hear her laugh a little and its amazing.
"i love your laugh" i whisper in her ear.
(Katniss' POV)
when i heard him whisper those words in my ear i couldnt stop smiling and before i know it i crash my lips hungrily against his pressing my lips against his soft ones that i have grown to love since the day we were reaped. i pull away blushing staring straight into his bright blue eyes.
"im sor-" i start and before i can finish peeta has his lips against mine hungrily i wrap my arms around his neck pulling him closer. he has his arms around my waist he pulls me close and right when i think everything has turned for the better her pulls away quickly.
"whats wrong?" i ask.
"i cant do this im sorry katniss" he says avoiding looking at me.
"why" i ask confused everything was better now right?! or so i thought. he looks straight at me.
"katniss im sorry i cant do this....im in love with someone else"
