Reid looked up to him, wiping at his damp cheeks again. He was definitely glad he had held in this kind of emotion he was expressing to his father now in front of Aspen. While crying to daddy was humiliating, crying in front of a girl who was breaking your heart was worse. “I’m trying not to blame myself, but…I guess it’s hard not to.”

He smiled slightly, sniffling. “I know, dad. I just need this week. The wound is just raw and open right now. But thank you. This honestly felt better than drinking my sorrows away..”

Peeta nods taking a deep breath. "A week, maybe more. The pain doesn't feel like this forever Reid. I can promise you that. I can promise that there will be days that are worse than others and moments where you don't think you can get out of bed. Moments that will feel like the end of the world..."

Peeta shakes his head once more not wanting to even think the things that were now in his head. "But if its meant to be then this isn't the end. If you two are meant to happen.. trust me. It will. Stories have multiple endings when it comes to life, just like they have multiple starts. One day at a time.."

He wished his father was wrong so he could continue to wallow in self-pity, but in the back of Reid's head, he knew Peeta was right. He took the tissue and wiped his eyes and nose. "It feels like I'm to blame. Maybe I just didn't spend enough time with her or love her enough." he mumbled.

"It just hurts, dad.." he said, dipping his head back between his folded arms. His father knew all too well what this felt like, but Reid never imagined it would sting this bad.

Peeta shakes his head once more but remained silent for a few minutes, he could tell his son until her was blue in the face that it was not his fault, that these things just happened but there was no point, time would be the only thing that could heal him, he needed time right time. "You can spend your whole life with someone and still mess up Reid, and sometimes you can spend 10 minutes with them and it fixes everything. You can't blame yourself."

Peeta reaches over patting his back gently. "I know son. I know, and I wont lie to you and tell you it will all be ok with her, but I can tell you that in the end /you/ will be ok. No matter how this all turns out, you will be ok.

Reid wanted to stop crying, but the hot tears just kept rolling down his face. He had held this in for far too long now. Every time something went amiss with he and Aspen or he missed her, Reid would just go get wasted with Jeremy. That only soothed the pain temporarily, and right now, what he needed was a nice cry.

He sat down on the couch with Peeta, bringing his knees to his chest, and setting his head between his arms which were folded over the tops of his knees. Sniffling, Reid looked back up at him and shrugged.

"I don’t know, dad. She just came here…and told me she was done. She said she was done trying with us. I thought.." his heart caught in his throat, "I thought we were heading down a path that would end up with us back together, but I was wrong. I don’t know what I did.."

Peeta looks at his son, before reaching for a tissue and handing it to him. "Sometimes its not anything you did son" Peeta says slowly shaking his head. He understood the inner turmoil. The pain and the self doubt, but he also knew it was temporary.

"Reid.. Sometimes these things happen, and just because she said that, just because you think she means it right now, well that might not be the case forever. I don't need to tell you the story of your mother and myself, everyone in Panem knows it, but this, this might just be something she is going through"

Reid immediately found that calling his father was the absolute right decision. He knew exactly what he was feeling as soon as he walked in. He knew Peeta would have understood more than anyone.

As soon as he was in his arms, Reid buried his face in Peeta’s shoulder, breaking down. He needed to cry on someone’s shoulder just this once.

"She j-just left, dad. She doesn’t want any part of me.." he choked out into his shirt sleeve.

Peeta pulls him close, his hand going to his back and patting gently, much like he had long ago, anytime he had a burn or had fallen off his bike, Peeta knew this was much bigger, much more painful than any of that but it was the same remedy in the end.

"Oh Reid.." Peeta says slowly. "I am so sorry son.." he continues slowly walking towards the couch where he sits him down. He waits a few minutes, allowing him to just get it out, knowing that he needed to do that more than he needed to do anything else. "What happened.." he says after a bit, knowing there was more to this than that.

"Okay, dad.." he muttered. He wished he could tell him how, no, it was as bad as he thought. The girl he loved wanted nothing more to do with him. He felt like an idiot for not doing things differently.

Reid sat, curled up on his couch before leaping up at the sound of a knock at the door. Opening it, he looked down, face flushed red from embarrassment.

"Come in.."

itsrealwithyou

Peeta took in the state of his son and knew, he simply knew because he had been there, he knew all too well what it was like to literally be wrecked by a woman. He opens his arms and pulls Reid into his arms, even now that he was full grown man he would always be his youngest son.

"What happened.." he says softly.

He didn’t want to tell his dad what had happened over the phone. It was embarrassing enough just inviting him over to cry and ask him for advice, but immediately breaking down on the phone was the worst case scenario.

"I just…I need some a-advice, and I think you’re the..only one who can help me." he trembled.

itsrealwithyou

Peeta nods, forgetting he can't see him as he gets into the car. "I will be over shortly son. Just. What ever you need. I know its not as bad as you might think right now" He says before hanging up and driving over to Reid's apartment.

He knocks on the door a few minutes later just waiting and hoping it really wasn't all that bad.

Reid felt empty. He needed to talk to someone. While Jeremy was his best friend, he knew that all he could really do was tell him there were other girls out there and get drunk with him.

But Reid didn’t want to drink. He wanted to cry to someone who had felt this way before. Picking up the phone, he dialed a familiar number and tried to keep his composure as the phone rang.

"Dad..? C-Can you come over?"

It was rare that Peeta was in the bakery as of late, he had given it to Reid knowing that it was in good hands and spent most of his time with Katniss, Sure that meant a lot of the weather channel and fights about cheesebuns not being food but they were the best kind of days in his eyes. That didn't mean that he wasn't still there for his kids, he was still as devoted to them as ever so when his phone rang displaying a picture of his youngest he picked it up right away.

"Of course? Is everything ok?" he asks already picking up the keys and motioning to his wife that he would be back later.
