(Katniss' POV)
I turn around to look at him glaring at him.
"what the fuck do you want! haven't you destroyed my life enough already!" I snap angrily and he takes a few steps back.
"i just wanted to smooth things over with us maybe forget what happened and what I did" he says quietly and I jump down from the tree glaring at him.
"you think I will ever! fucking forgive you! do you realize what you did! you took my husband away from me! don't you get it! I may never get him back! because of your selfishness! just get out of my face you son of a bitch!" I scream in his face and he quickly ran away from me and I broke down crying. The thought I may never get peeta back was to much for me I found him this is what I wished for was to have him back right? wrong! I wanted my husband not some person in my husbands body. but the only thing I can do is bring him back make him remember and if he doesn't remember by the end of the week when I have to go I promised haymitch I would come back then maybe, just maybe he wont come back its been over a month since the crash he's seen me and he doesn't remember a thing he's seen pictures of our family I've told him about them. he still doesn't remember them.
(Rick's POV)
I run away from her she was angry I don't blame her I guess I was lost in my love for her, I didn't seen how much she loves him. I tried to apologize but she's mad and upset. how can I show her I do care for her? I guess I could try to get peeta back to himself but he thinks he's lived her for so long. he thinks all my lies are the truth and the truth is the lies. I got to try maybe then katniss will think of me as someone else someone more then just a co-worker, maybe even as a friend. yah I like that me, her and peeta just friends. her and peeta married having their kids together and me being the leftover person on the side watching the girl I love be with someone else. I might find someone else but maybe not probably not.
(Peeta's POV)
I am walking through the woods the doctors let me go outside for a bit which I am grateful for. the hospital is so boring and I think the forest it helps me relax. I am walking and I hear sobbing coming from behind a tree.
"hello? who's there?" I ask trying not to scare the person who's crying. I slowly walk towards the sound of the crying "hello?" I say again. I walk into a clearing and there's katniss crying under a tree. "katniss! what's wrong! why are you crying?!" I ask sitting beside her. I out my arm around her and pull her close I know I'm not supposed to be doing this but what kind of guy finds a crying girl and doesn't do anything to help her.
"everything is wrong peeta.....your my husband but rick changed your memories so he could marry me he loves me but I love you and now I might never get you back because of him!" she starts crying into my shoulder and I hold her close.
"wait! rick did this! but he was my friend.....I trusted him! believed every word he told me! when I should have been listening to you! but why did he do that?....there has to be a reason....." I say looking at her. she pulls away to wipe her eyes then sighs.
"he told me it was because he wanted me to marry him so he was trying to get rid of you so I would marry him" she sighs and looks down "but you still don't remember anything do you?" she asks. I'm shocked from what I just heard rick wanted me out of the way just to get a girl!
"that's sick!" is all I manage to get out and I stand up and marching away without answering her question.
(Rick's POV)
I made my way back to the bakery I just started making bread and some cinnamon dough when Austin walks in.
"hey Austin!" I wave at him "want to help with the baki-" before I finish my sentence there is a fist in my face knocking me to the ground. I hold my jaw he's got one powerful punch it feels broken!
"what the hell was that for!" I yell. his fists are clenched and he's pissed at me for something.
"you know what rick!" he yells back. "you lied to me! about every thing! my name isn't even Austin! what the hell were you thinking!" he is almost screaming in my face now.
"ok ok! I'm sorry! peeta please I'm sorry!" I plead looking at him. "I made a big mistake please I'm sorry" and before I know it I'm on the ground again I'm starting to see stars and my vision is blurring. "peeta stop please" I'm begging now.
"no! that was my family! thanks to you! I forget them! ran from my wife! told her I was in love with someone else! because I thought she was some crazy depressed widow! she knew the truth all along! and so did you! I'm not going to stop! until I get back every second of my life you took from me! made me believe I was someone I'm not! rick you took more then u think from me!" he's screaming at me and wont stop. I've backed myself into a corner covering my head with my arms trying to stop the punches flying at me. I wait and I wait but the punches never come I move my arms and there is peeta on the floor katniss sitting beside him what looks like to me she's trying to calm him down.
"katni-" I began and she cuts me off.
"rick just don't.....your lucky he didn't go into one of his attacks then he would have killed you so either shut up or get the hell outta here!" she yells. I quickly stand up and run out. I realize, katniss most likely just saved my life.
(Peeta's POV)
who did he think he was! Doing what he did! I'm going to kill him! He's going to die! I'm thinking as I march to the bakery. I enter it and there's rick standing there happy making dough for god knows what! his words! him calling me Austin I punched him as hard as I could and I scream at him. he begs for me to stop but I don't at least not till katniss comes and grabs my hands forcing me to look into those stormy grey eyes. I calm down almost immediately she yells something at rick in which I don't catch. she makes me sit on the floor with her and she calms me down enough I start listening to her.
"who are you" I hear her ask softly.
"I'm peeta mellark" I respond. "at least that's what I have been told by someone who fought to get me back so I'm pretty that's who I am" I smile at her. she smiles back I can tell she's happy I mean who wouldn't be happy right?! I'm happy!
"hey katniss" I say softly in her ear. "what about those kids you never stop talking about I would like to meet them again I'm guessing they missed you just as much as they missed me" I say looking at her. She stands up quickly.
"oh my gosh! peeta! your right! come on! the kids think your dead! haymitch still thinks your dead! he thinks I didn't actually find you again! come on!" she's almost pulling me away. I'm trying not to laugh.
"are you always like this?" I ask. she looks at me confused.
"always like what?" she asks back. I can help but laugh again.
"always this excited and happy" I tell her and she shakes her head.
"not usually but I'm really happy you want to know why?" she asks me smiling.
"because your husband came back from the dead" I say wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her close. she smiles again. I can never get tired of that smile.
"that and cause love always finds a way
