Katniss's POV:
I knew that Peeta would get out of the hospital eventually, I just didn't know when. How can they still trust him like that? He was sitting right near me and he could attacked me at any moment. But he didn't. Maybe he's improving. I haven't talked to Beetee in a while so it could be a possibility. When we get to the training center, we do our usual warm ups. Today, I have to jog. While I was talking to Johanna and jogging, my eyes took a quick glance at the other end of the training center to find Peeta doing his warm up with pushups. I stumble over my feet and end up on the floor. When Johanna realizes that I'm not beside her, she comes back and helps me to my feet. Peeta finishes the set of pushups and looks directly at me. His eyes show that he wanted to help me, but then they change and I see anger and range. Why is Peeta here? Maybe this was a new idea that Beetee came up with. Johanna and I continue to run and catch up with the group.
"Look, Peeta is over there training!" Johanna has a confused expression on his face.
"Yeah, Beetee was talking about signing him up for this, just to get his body back in shape. I didn't actually think that they were going to go through with it."
"You knew?" I ask suspiciously.
"Yes, but I just talked to Beetee last night. I assumed you knew about it." Johanna answered.
"I didn't." I reply.
"Let's move one." she says. Good idea. We finish our warm up and then we get to the training part. I don't bother to look over a Peeta. It will only sidetrack me. I am only focused at getting to the Capitol. We spend all day in the training center. By dinner, I am so tired I can barely stay awake to eat. Peeta doesn't come to dinner. I guess he's back at the hospital letting Beetee and all the other doctors try new things on him, reversing his mind that the Capitol twisted very well. I hate the Capitol. I love Peeta. Yes, even though he tried to hurt me, I don't blame him. I go right to bed after dinner and fall asleep immediately.
The same routine happens every day for the next 5 days. I go to breakfast earlier so that I don't have to sit with Peeta. We all go to training and Peeta is there. Then Peeta disappears into the hospital. I don't talk to him. I'm too scared. Beetee doesn't give me any new updates. But I stay clear of Peeta during training and I don't even see him. I assume he's still her but one day, I actually looked for him, and he was no where in sight. Finally, it's the day before we are schedule to do to district 6 for the propo. I haven't seen Peeta since his first day at training. Afterward, Finnick and I decide that we will go to the hospital to visit Gale and possibly get and update on Peeta since we haven't seen nor heard about him in about a week. When we get there, we are just in time to see Beetee before he goes back into the hallway to Peeta's room.
"Beetee!" I call his name. He turns around and flashes us a smile.
"Hey Katniss and Finnick!"
"Hi, Beetee." I answer. Finnick looks at me and I can tell that he wants me to ask about the update but I am still afraid. I give him a shake of my head. Of course, Finnick asks instead.
"So Beetee, is there any update on Peeta? We haven't heard about him in about a week. Nor have we seen him lately."
"We have kept Peeta here in the hospital for several days because we are testing something right now on Peeta. We have been working on the formula all week and we think we have the right one."
"Really?" I say with a hint of hope in my voice.
"Really." Adds Beetee reassuringly. "It's a long process so we will be working all night."
Finnick states "Well, I'll stay here until then. How about you Katniss?"
"Sure." I say reassuringly. Finnick smiles and we both sit down in the waiting room. Beetee goes down the long hallway to Peeta's door and Finnick and I sit down in the lobby talk for a while.
"Let's go visit Gale." I say. Finnick agrees and we walk to Gale's room. When we walk in, he is awake and when he sees us, he smiles. Gale looks a lot better.
"Hey Catnip, Finnick!" he says.
"Hey! You look a lot better!" I exclaim.
"Yeah! The doctor said that I can be released tomorrow morning and that I can come with you to district 6 for the propo." He says.
"That's great!" Finnick replies. We pull up a chair and we talk to Gale for a while. We talk about all the uprisings, about Peeta and his appearance at training. When we mention Peeta, I see that Gale has something to say.
"Well, Peeta has been here in the hospital for a while. I hear him scream once in a while. Mostly he screams for you. I can't tell if he wants you, or to kill you." I'm shock by this. Peeta has been screaming my name?
The only think I can make out is "oh." The nurse tells us that Gale has to rest and that we have to leave. Gale starts to object but the nurse gives him the medication and he hits dead sleep. Then the nurse kicks us out, and we are back in the lobby. Finnick is visiting a friend in another room but I wanted to stay and sit in the lobby. The chair I am sitting in is facing the hallway that Peeta's room is down. I look blankly down the hallway. He has been screaming my name? Why hasn't Beetee told me? I wonder what is going on in Peeta's room but I'm scared to find out. I have to find out sooner or later I think. I stand up and I start to walk the long hallway. Suddenly, I hear screaming. It's my name. Peeta's screaming my name. I decided to go and see what he's screaming my name for. I've only made it a few steps when Peeta's door swings open. I freeze in my steps when Peeta runs out and it looks like he's looking for something. He turns to my direction and that's when I see his eyes, full of fear and panic.
"KATNISS!" He screams and then runs straight at me.
