I wake up in a white room with a bunch of things sticking out of my hands, as a I look around to try and see where I am I notice a strange figure sitting next to me "K-K-Katniss?" I ask as my eyes straighten out to see it is not her but my mother, she looks at me as if I'm the most important person in the world at this moment,
"oh my sweet little boy" she says as the tears weld up in her eyes and she turns away like she is trying to keep something from me… something important or something that will completely break me down
"Mom what's wrong?" I say in a very groggy voice but before she can answer the door bursts open and there is Haymitch and he looks sober but tired
"Well looker here the boy is finally awake" he says with a little bit of sarcasm but I don't reply as he turns his attention to my mother,
"Mrs. Mellark why don't you go get something to eat you look famished" as he looks at her and gives her a nod and she leaves without discussion, as soon as the door is completely closed Haymitch walks over and sits in the chair my mother was sitting in and he just stares at me until I break the silence
"Where is Katniss?" and Haymitch's face turns sad as he tries to change the subject
"How are you feeling?" he asks nervously
"I feel fine" I answer trying to play along
"Good….good" he says after that we don't talk until I ask again
"Where is Katniss?" but he doesn't answer so I ask again in a more demanding voice
"Haymitch where is katniss?" he turns to face me with hurt in his eyes and I know what he is trying to say
"Katniss is gone… she is gone…. They got her" I say in a whisper and he nods and whispers back
"yes…" my sadness turn into anger as I start to stand up on my feet and notice that I am still in the cloths from the games
"Peeta sit down your not ready to move around" haymitch says grabbing my arm and trying to sit me back down but I resist
"I WILL DO WHAT I WANT!" I yell in his face and he immediately lets go and steps away from me and I turn to him,
"You let them take her!" I say in an angry voice
"I didn't have a choice! Me and her made a promise to each other that we would keep you safe and let you go home!"
"BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU GET HER TO THE HOVER CRAFT!" I yell
"Because she wouldn't let me…" he trails off and my expression softens a little bit
"What do you mean she wouldn't let you?" I say calmly he takes a deep breath as he begins to tell me what happened
"when she shot the force field with her arrow and it blew up we went down to get you and everyone else… when we had picked up everyone I went over to get her but she slapped me away, as she said 'keep him safe Haymitch… just like we agreed on… I can't lose him' and I tried to pick her up again but she yelled at me to put her down and leave her but I wasn't going to until the capitol came and shot me in the shoulder she told me to run and leave her there so I had no other choice" I had to sit down to adjust to hearing what I had just heard I couldn't believe it she would risk her own life to save mine!
"They are going to torture her for information about the rebellion that she doesn't know" I say with my head down her words 'I can't lose him' run through my mind over and over again
"we have to do something…. Where is coin!" I protest and haymitch looks up at my face to see if I'm serious
"she is probably in her office" he answers
"good" I get up and walk over to the door and right before I can open it Haymitch stops me
"Peeta you can't just walk right in and demand to go to the capitol" and I turn towards him
" I Love her Haymitch! I'm not going to lose her" I say and walk out the door.
