Chapter 37
Gale's POV
Katniss is now safe in the hospital. Katniss has had a few sets of stitches in her leg from the big scrap that revealed lots of tissue. She had three in her head wound but still nothing. No response. She has been out for hours. I am starting to get worried. Peeta must be more worried though. He has not let go of her since we found her.
He hasn't moved, talked. Nothing. "I'll be back in a minute." I say. He nods his head. So I now know he is not dead. I decide that food would be a good thing to have even though I am not up to eating. Peeta feel the same way but it would be good to have food in our system so we don't die of hunger.
When I get into the cafeteria I ask Greasy for something that will help with this pain. I tell her about what happened to Katniss. "That poor girl. She is getting into all kinds of trouble at the moment." She replies. I nod my head. "Tell me about it." I answer. Walking off with a bag of food. As I am walking out I bump into Johanna. "I'm sorry." I apologise.
"Why are you apologising? You can bump into me anytime good looking." She says biting her lip. I turn around and start to walk in the direction of the elevator, when Johanna catches back up to me.
"So where are you going with that bag of goodies?" She asks. I don't want to tell her but I suppose that it's no harm if I do. "The hospital." I retort pressing the elevator button. "I'll come with you. It is about Katniss right? Like come on, who else would be in there?" She says. "It's Katniss. She smashed her head on a rock and tripped, or it's the other way around. I don't know specifically." I say.
The elevators doors open and we both get in. She presses the hospital button. "Besides you desperately wanting to be with Katniss." She starts to say but I interrupt her. "I don't desperately want to be with Katniss." I say angrily. "Okay, whatever you say." She says as the doors close. "As I was saying, who are you going out with?" She adds.
"Why would I tell you?" I ask. "Because I want to know if you would go out with me good looking." She says. I raise my eye brows. "Really?" I say. "Yes." She says. "I'll think about it." I say. "Good." She looks up to me and smiles.
I think no harm done if to smile back, so that's what I do. I then instantly look back to the elevator doors. The elevator stops and the door open. Johanna and I walk through the hospital until we get to the room that Katniss and Peeta are in. I push the door open and see nothing new has happened.
I open up the bag and hand Peeta a sandwich. He shakes his head. "Peeta, you need it." I says to him. He takes the sandwich from me. "Thank you Gale." He says looking to me. "Hey brainless 2." Johanna greets. Peeta turns around so he can see Johanna. "Hello Johanna." He says back. "When did you come across her?" Peeta asks.
"I bumped into her and she followed me." I tell him. "Oh." He replies. He take his hand out from Katniss's grip and unwraps the sandwich and takes a bite. I put the bag on the table in the middle of the room and pull out a sandwich for myself. "Thank you again Gale." Peeta says. "It's okay Peeta." I answer.
Katniss's POV
The feeling in my head is excruciating. My leg has pain flowing through it. Where am I? I ask myself. I suddenly get scared, and begin to lose the ability to breath. I push myself up in one quick sudden moment trying to catch my breath. "Katniss." I hear.
I can't figure out who it is. I am just focusing on being able to breath. "Katniss?" I hear again. I don't open my eyes. My head becomes dizzy. I can no longer breathe, no matter what I do. I feel a bigger pain growing inside me, bigger than I have had before.
