Katniss' POV
Chapter 28:
The world was a blur to me. The only thing I was focused on was Peeta. I clung to him as he wrapped his arms around me. I loved when he held me; it made me feel so secure anymore. Ever since Snow took away his voice I rely on Peeta's arms wrapped around me to pull me away from the nightmares and him. My hands made their way up to his hair. I felt my fingers get tangled in his blonde hair. He pulled me closer and I felt the whole world spin. Being this close to Peeta…made me go nuts. My insides got all wiggly and it felt as if they were actually moving around. I felt butterflies in my stomach and I felt as if I were on fire. Every time I touched Peeta my fingertips went blazing hot. I loved being this close to Peeta.
He pulled away, which I wasn't ready for. I was about to pout when I realized how much I was craving the air. I took in a big breath and started to pant along with Peeta. He looked in to my eyes. His eyes were so full of love, I would have faint.
I wanted him to say something. I really did, he did open his mouth but nothing came out. "I love you," I whispered in to his ear. He went still, frozen. I felt like I was on fire, I was burning. I grabbed his right hand and wouldn't let go. He was not leaving me, no way am I letting this boy out of my sight. He pulled me out of the room, and closed the door on our way out. I was still panting a little as James up.
"Katniss, you look like you just ran a marathon!" James exclaimed. I felt a grin coming on as James felt my forehead. He pulled his hand away and smiled at me.
"Well, I was looking for you two lovey doves. Coin wants to do a propo!" James shrieked. I was shocked. Coin wanted to this when Peeta could not talk? Why would she do this? Instead of asking James these questions, Peeta and I followed him down to the meeting room.
"Why exactly does she want to do a propo now?" I hissed to James. He gave me a response which didn't help any. A simple shrug. That helps me so me so much James! I gave him a glare which he tried to return but failed and busted out laughing. We entered the meeting room, to see no one. James then looked around.
"WHERE ARE YOU?" he yelled. Then I felt someone grab my arm and start to pull me away from Peeta. I let out a shriek as I was pulled away from Peeta. He was completely clueless as someone whispered in his ear. He nodded and followed the person, looking over his shoulder at me and winking. Basically saying I am in good hands and not to worry. I feel myself get shoved in to a chair and stripped of my clothes.
"Hair grows back so quickly!" I heard someone hiss.
"Look at her eyebrows!" I heard another voice hiss. Then I heard someone let out a shriek and grab my hand.
"Katniss! What have you done to your nails?" I heard. From that voice I knew who all of these people were. My prep team. Octavia was holding my hand, examining my nails; Venia was examining my legs while Flavuis was fussing over my eyebrows.
"Guys, I have not seen you all in a while," I whispered as they worked on me. They all flashed me grins and got back to their work. Once they were done they helped me up.
"Cinna is on his way, stay here and perform great," Venia whispered. They all gave me a peck on the cheek then retreated. I looked around the room and saw that there was only one light, right above my head. I heard footsteps right after. I looked in front of me to see a figure. Cinna…
"I have this for you…they want you to look nice but not warrior or completely girly," Cinna said and stepped in to the light. He handed me an orange dress that glittered in the light. I loved it, and I knew Peeta would too. He helped me put on the dress and my undergarments. Next came the shoes but I saw none. Then Cinna pulled out an orange pair of slippers. He bent down and I slipped my feet in them. This felt like and interview all over again. I just don't understand…I am the mockingjay so why would I look like this during one of their propos?
"Cinna why am I supposed to look like this? Don't get me wrong, I love it the only thing is…" I trailed off. Cinna nodded.
"I understand. They want you to look like this because you aren't playing the warrior angle. You are playing the girl in love," Cinna said.
"I am not playing that part anymore but o.k.," I murmured as we walked out. Peeta always thought I looked beautiful in a dress but now he couldn't exactly say it anymore, could he?
As we walked to the entrance for the outside we saw Annie in a red dress. She was waiting for someone. When she saw me she waved.
I then walked up to her. Cinna had disappeared as I saw Johanna walk up in a yellow dress. She walked up to us and asked, "Why are we waiting here?"
"I do not know. Haymitch told me to," she said as Haymitch walked up. He pushed us forward.
"Go, the lovely lads are waiting," Haymitch said.
"First of all, why do we look like this?" I hissed at him. He gave me a grin.
"Since you all are friends they want you to look comfortable," Haymtich said. Then before I knew it we were outside, sun beating down on my skin. I saw three figures not far off. Peeta, James and Finnick were all talking. Finnick was wearing a light pink shirt and jeans. James was wearing a violet shirt with blue jeans. Peeta was wearing a forest green shirt and light blue jeans. Haymitch marched us forward to the boys because apparently we weren't moving.
The boys were astonished at the sight of us. I slipped my hand in to Peeta's as we walked over to Jan. I haven't seen her in a while so this may be interesting.
Peeta took a seat by me in front of the cameras. I felt like I was on the victory tour all over again. Jan put up a three, then two then one. The camera came on just then.
"Peeta, how is it to be back with Katniss?" Jan asked. Peeta opened his mouth to speak but I answered for him, which is something I never do.
"He is estactic," I answered. He gave me a warm smile as Finnick, Johanna, Annie and James came on by us. James gave me a thumbs up as he took his seat by Johanna. Annie took my hand that was not in Peeta's and clutched it.
"I see you all are friends," Jan said, gesturing to us. Finnick nodded.
"SAY SOMETHING PEETA!" James shrieked.
Peeta opened his mouth. I thought for sure nothing was going to come out but a little and almost inaudible squeak came out. I felt hopeful at this.
"Snow…you will get it!" James yelled. I wasn't listening, I had my eyes focused on Peeta.
I have a little chance of hope. He might talk again, if that day ever happens.
I hope you guys liked this! I have an OAA tomorrow on Thursday in math. WISH ME LUCK! Any who, review for me please!
