Chapter 3: 'And my life was beginning to end':TG
POV of Katniss
"Katniss?"
I groan, and turn my body, but yelp when a sharp pain runs throughout my entire body. I sigh, and open up my eyes a little bit to find Peeta's face in a hazy mist. He looks very worried, though I don't know why he'd be worried. It's not like I'm sick, or anything, and besides, he doesn't even like me!
"Hey." I say, but it sounds more like a croak, than my usual talking voice.
He grimaces and turns, and walks out of the door. I hear him call for somebody, I feel a jolt of worry shock through me. I struggle to get out of my bed. I end up getting out of it, and I stumble out of my bedroom door.
"Peeta!" I call, but it's more like a hoarse whisper. I clear me throat and try again. "Peeta!"
I start to walk down the stairs, just as he's coming up with the District's doctor. I yelp when I lose my footing, and I feel myself start to fall down the stairs. He crys out and catches me. He carries me back to my room, and lays me gently on my bed. I smile at him and just manage out, "Peeta, I-" before I'm taken back into sleep's arms, yet again. I hear Peeta calling out to me, but I can't respond. I'm immobilized. Like I'm in a coffin. I let my dreams take over and wish that they'll be nice, for once.
In my dreams, I see Peeta, standing in a brilliant white tuxedo. He's smiling the most radiant smile that I have ever seen, and it takes my breath away. It's full of love, compassion, and everything that I have ever encountered from him. I walk up to him, and he kisses me, whispering, "Beautiful. You are absolutely beautiful." He turns me, then we're facing a preacher. I realize that we are getting married. I look down at my dress, and gaze at it in wonder. It's the exact dress that I've always wanted, and the dress that Peeta had bought for me in my last nightmare. I look around and gaze in wonder at my audience that is watching. Everyone that I have befriended is there, even the one's that had died. Cinna, Prim, Rue, my prep team, my mom, my DAD, Johanna, Annie with her son, Finnick, Wiress, Beetee, Peeta's mom, dad, and both brothers are there, Peeta's prep team, Foxface, and so many more, that I just can't list them all.
We say our vows, and I whisper 'I do', and we kiss. Peeta whispers to me that he loves me, and I realize that I love him too.
I whisper it back, wishing that I could say it to Peeta's face myself, but I can't.
Because right after we kiss, I fall unconscious.
