Holey Shite! Hello Lovelys! I am on a role! Four Chapters in under 2 days. Ermagerd. Chapter Thirteen!

Kaiden's POV

I run with Beatrix to Willow's house across the Victors Village. Her door is wide open. I run in, up the stairs, and to her room, where Bea told me she was. What the hell. Why would she do this to me? I don't see her in there, and then Bea shouts the word 'bathroom'.

I sprint across her room. I see her lying naked in the bathtub. It is filled with bloody water. She is fully under. Tears fill my eyes. This can't be happening. She can't be gone. I... cared for her. Oh, hell. I fucking loved her. She is gone and I may as well admit it.

I run to Willow and pull her out of the tub, and onto the white rug she has. I check her airways, and start pushing on her chest. Then, putting my lips to hers, I blow air into her lunges. Push. Air. Repeat. I do this about three times. Then I stop, and look at her.

Her fragile, naked, body is limp on the floor. Her dark hair is in a soaking wet braid. Her heart shaped face is pale, unlike the olive tone it used to embody before her Games. Her plump lips, slightly parted.

Suddenly, she breathes in sharply, opening her grey eyes. She's alive.

Willow's POV

My chest is throbbing and I am coughing up water. It takes me a second to realize where I am and who I am with. I look up at Kaiden, smile, and fall back and hit the floor. I've lost too much blood.

When I wake, I have a needle poking out of my arm that is connected to a tube, going up and leading to a bag with clear liquid. Where the hell am I? I look around the tiny room I am in. I have seen it before. I am at the District 12 hospital. I was here once, when I was a kid. My mother was not good with apothecary, and I was too sick for my grandma to heal me. They said I had blood poisoning. I had almost died.

But why am I here now? Oh, yeah. I almost killed myself. Would've succeeded if Beatrix hadn't come back. Why did she come back?

I examine the bandage over my left wrist, and the new bandage they put on me for my cut from earlier. I have caused a lot of trouble. Gosh, I am so stupid. Stupid little girl.

Just then, Beatrix and Matten storm through the door. Beatrix looks shaken up, and Matten just looks annoyed. See? Stupid little girl.

"I am glad you're so okay!" Bea says, stumbling on her words. She runs over to the left side of the bed and kneels beside me.

"I still say we spank her..." Matten says.

"Matten!" Beatrix yells. "Shut up and be serious for once in your life!" Wow, I did not know Bea had that much power in her.

"Bea, how did you find me?" I say quietly, look at my hands.

"I had left my mood ring on the sink. You know the one I got after my Games, from Credinsa?" She explains. I nod. "I took it off there when I did dishes. I went back to get it. Also, I wanted to say hi, and check on you. But you weren't in your room, so I knocked on the bathroom door. When you didn't answer, I opened the door and nearly screamed when I saw you." She catches her breath. "And I am glad I did. Then I ran and got Kaiden. I knew that he would know what to do."

I just nod, again. There is nothing more to say. Thank you? No, I'm not really thankful. Wait, wait, wait, she's glad? Well, I guess we you could call us friends. All of us Victors are kind of like a family. But I never really thought we were that close. Maybe we were. Maybe Bea just cares. But, she cares for everyone. Wow, I really just cannot except that someone could care for me.

Bea keeps babbling, as always. Then something hits me, "Where is Kaiden?" He must've carried me here. Unless we took a wagon. Probably took a wagon.

"He locked himself in his room. He won't come out. He's really upset." She takes my hand in hers. "While he was bringing you back, you know, from death, he kept muttering things like 'Why would she do this to me?' and 'I need you.' and..." Beatrix stops, and looks at Matten. Matt nods. "He said he loves you."

"He said he 'fucking' loves her." Matten corrects.

"Oh," is all I say. He loves me? I can't think about that right now. It's too much. I push it out of my thoughts.

A nurse comes in, and ushers them out. She gives me a trey of food, a pudding cup, a cookie, and a glass of what I think is orange juice. I really like orange juice, but it is so expensive. Yes, even for Victors. So I don't know how the hospital can afford it.

"You know the escort?" The nurse says.

"Yeah, Credinsa Mallasc." I reply.

"She special ordered the drink for you." The nurse says flatly, answering my unspoken question.

"How did she..." I trail off.

"One of your friends called her, I think." Now why would they do that? I smile at the nurse, silently thanking her. She leaves, forgetting to close the door. Ugh.

I enjoy the food, I have always had a sweet tooth. I seem to over-load in the Capital, seeing as there is so much more available. Some people in the Capital call it "comfort food". But, then, they also call a lot of other things "comfort food".

When I finish, I put the trey on the bed side table, fold my hands on my lap, and wait. For what? Anything. Then I remember, someone loves me. Kaiden fucking loves me.

I know, I know. Big change in the last few chapters from the beginning of the story. R&R, please?
