Hey! So in my oppinion, this is a boaring chapter, but I promise that the good parts will come soon... you know... the part where Peeta gets his memory back! I'm looking foward to writting that chapter!
Katniss's POV:
"Hi Katniss! Funny meeting you here!" He says merrily. I laugh softly and take a seat next to him. He is still trying the knot that we tried last night.
"Hi! Still working on that knot?" I ask.
"Yes of course! Finnick Odair never starts a project and not finishes it!" He answers with a smile. He laughs and then I laugh with him.
"Oh Finnick, you're too funny!" I compliment.
"Thank you." He says in return. "So do you really want to do that propo?" He asks.
"Honestly, no way. But I know I have to do it." I reply.
"You have to do it, you know? Just tell them that you're not up to it."
"They'll never believe me, and I need to show that I am still fighting."
"Alright." He says. There is a long pause and then Finnick tries to get a conversation going.
"So I enjoyed a day off from training! How about you?"
"Yeah, I guess. As much as I hate it, training is my ticket to the Capitol."
"Me too." He says. For some reason, we can't seem to have a conversation.
"Do you want to take a break and come with me to the hospital to visit Gale?"
"Ok, I could really use a break, I can go visit a friend there as well. There also might be any update about Peeta." Finnick says hopefully.
"Yes, the last time I saw Peeta, he was talking to the doctors but I wasn't allowed in the room."
"Oh… I wonder what he was telling them but I'm sure Beetee knows."
"I was just talking to him in the cafeteria. He hasn't been to the hospital since and he just went down. But I know that Beetee gets information fast." I reply. Finnick laughs.
"Right you are about Beetee! Ok, let's go." We walk down to the hospital. I figure that I will just go and visit Gale but when I walk in, Haymitch and Beetee are standing around in the lobby. I walk to them and Beetee's the one who notices me. "Katniss!" He says, very loudly startling Haymitch. Why are they meeting here?
"Hey" I confusingly say.
"Hi Katniss!" Beetee answers back. "We were all just discussing about the update on Peeta..." And then he went silent. Why? I decided to get the courage and ask.
"Good or Bad?" I question
Haymitch answers this one. "It depends who you are asking. It can be both good and bad." Ok! That does not help me at all!
"Ok, so what is it?"
"Good or Bad?" asks Haymitch
"Good." I reply
"As you know, Peeta talked to the doctor last night but earlier this morning, Haymitch came in and talked to him." Beetee answered. I turn to Haymitch.
"What did he say?" I am almost yelling now, at the point of anxiety. When no one answers, I figured that this is the bad news. I can tell that Haymitch is delaying his answer.
"What he said to the doctor or me?" he asks weakly.
"The doctor." I reply.
"When he woke up after his attempt at hitting you, he asked what happened and then the doctor explained everything. Then they asked him why he did it…" Long pause "And he says that you tried to kill him in the 74th hunger games with the tracker jackers and that you were the one who bombed district 12." WHAT? How can this happen? How could Peeta even begin to think that? But Haymitch's not done yet. "They told Peeta the truth about everything but he didn't believe them… When I went to talk to him, I tried to find out what the Capitol did to him. That way we can reverse it. But he wouldn't give me an answer because I didn't think you were a mutt like Peeta does."
"I can't believe that the Capitol was able to twist Peeta's mind like that." I say unconvinced.
"I know, I can't believe it either but we are doing everything possible." Beetee tells me reassuringly. I just stay silent. How can Peeta think that? How will the doctors fix Peeta in this condition? I realized that I thought that last though out loud because Haymitch answers me.
"We always have a way and we will never give up on Peeta."
"Me neither" I say very quietly so that only I can hear it. There is a long pause. I think they expect me to answer, but I don't. I have nothing to say.
"In a about a week, Peeta's physical form will be much better and then we can all focus on getting Peeta's memory back!" Beetee says. I try to show a smile, to show them that this news will give me a little hope, but it doesn't. I know I'm not the best actress but at least I can force a smile.
"Great." I reply. I noticed that Finnick is very quiet this whole time and he finally speaks up.
"Come on Katniss," he gives me a little bump on my arm with his. "I want to go finish that knot and I need your help!"
"Okay, coming." I answer poorly without excitement. I guess any activity is better than being in a hospital waiting for someone to get better, when you know that they won't ever recover. "I guess I can visit Gale some other time." I mutter. Finnick doesn't hear me and continues to pull my arm.
"Bye Beetee, Haymitch." Finnick says.
"See you soon." I say. We walk back up to the training room where after two more hours of attempting, we both finally got it.
One week passes by and those were the only two hours I was able to get my mind off Peeta. Coin decided to push the propo back another week. She doesn't tell us why though but I'm happy that I won't have to worry about that for another week. Not like I worry about it. The only thing I worry about now, is Peeta.
Ok, so I know this wasn't one of my best chapters, but there's more to come! Please review and I will then post the next chapter!
