"Stop! Stop! Ladies and gentlemen I am pleased to present the victors of the seventy-fourth annual Hunger Games. Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen from district 12!" Templesmith said and then the applauding could be heard. I spit out the berries and wiped off my tongue. I cleaned my mouth out with a bottle of water and spat it back out.

"You didn't swallow any?" Katniss asked. I shook my head.

"You?" I replied.

"Guess I'd be dead by now if I had," She said and smiled. Then the hover craft appeared and the world was getting fuzzier. I looked down at my leg and remembered the blood.

"Katniss," I whispered and she looked over at me and then down at my leg.

"It's okay they'll fix it in the capitol," She said, but I was afraid I wouldn't make it. She helped me climb off the cornucopia after the snakes retreated and then led me over the ladder of the hover craft. She gripped me tightly. Then we were frozen and pulled up into the hover craft. We finally reach the hover craft and my world slips into darkness.

"Peeta!" Is the last thing I heard before I lost consciousness.

...

When I woke up my leg didn't feel right. I couldn't move it properly. I began to panic and some monitors started beeping. Doctors in white came and asked me to calm down. I tried to ask what had happened to my leg but no words would come out. I looked for a familiar face but, I couldn't find one until someone pushed through the wall of doctors.

"Give him some space," Haymitch snapped his breath smelling a little of alcohol.

"Haymitch? What happened?" I asked.

"You won the Hunger Games," He replied.

"I did? What about Katniss? Did I kill her? Oh my god I killed her!" and my panic attack started all over again.

"Calm down, your girlfriend is fine," He replied.

"What happened to my leg?" I asked.

"They had to cut it off you tried to kill yourself by reopening your wound. They'll give you a new one," Haymitch explained.

"Can I see Katniss?" I asked.

"No, they want to do your reunion on live television," He replied.

"Oh," Is all I'm able to say before I drift off.

...

"Peeta," I heard her voice.

"Peeta," She said again and shook me. I opened my eyes and at first all I could see was black but after a minute my eyes adjusted to the darkness.

"Katniss? You're not supposed to be here," I whispered.

"I know, but I had to see you," She said. "I wanted to make sure you were okay."

"I'm fine," I said and rolled over on the hospital bed so I could see her better. She stroked some hair out of my face.

"I was so scared I had lost you. Why would you do that?" she asked.

"Do what? Try to save you? Without you Katniss my life is nothing. I really do love you Katniss. I didn't say it because I wanted sponsors, I said it because it's true," I said. She leaned down and kissed me. I felt her tears fall onto my cheeks.

"I better go," She whispered when we broke apart. I grabbed her hand as she started to leave.

"I'll see you tomorrow," I said. She nodded and left.

Sorry this chapter is so short but, it's just kind of a filler chapter to lead to the interviews and stuff. Please review!
