Hi! So I finally have a idea of how this story will go! Hope you enjoy!
Katniss's POV:
I wake up from someone whispering into my ear.
"Katniss? Wake up sweetheart." The voice could only belong to Peeta. I want to go back to sleep. The pain is almost unbearable. But I force my eyes open to see Peeta with wet eyes on the side of my bed. A huge sigh of relief covers his face when he sees me awake. I try to speak but the words aren't coming out. That's when I realized that there is a tube down my throat. I look down and I see that I am connected to several machines and wires. Peeta intertwines his hands with mine as he sees the look of pain on my face.
"It's okay Katniss, they will take the tube out really soon." He says comfortably. I'm happy to hear this, but the pain over takes me and tears stream down my face.
"I am going to get the nurse so that they can give you some painkillers. I will be right back." Peeta says as he gets up. He smiles then walks out the door.
I don't think I have ever been in this much pain before. I can feel every single cut and bruise. I try to move but I feel another sharp pain in my ribs. I guess I broke a few. I come to a conclusion that I am practically paralyzed considering that every time I made a little movement, my body feels like it's on fire.
Finally, Peeta comes back followed by a nurse. While the nurse prepares the medicine, Peeta comes back to the chair beside my bed. He stares at me with his beautiful blue eyes. Then he reaches over and brushes my hair out of my face with his gentle hands. All I want is for Peeta to embrace me in his arms. I can tell he wants the same but the movement would hurt me. The expression on his face makes me feel even more miserable. He looks so worried.
The nurse puts the medicine in the IV and I feel myself slipping away from the world. Peeta leans over and kisses my forehead lightly, making sure that he doesn't hurt me. Then the drugs pull me under.
When I finally regain consciousness, I instantly realize that the tube is no longer in my throat. I open my eyes just a crack to see half of the wires and machines are gone! I tilt my head to see Peeta sleeping in a chair next to my bed. His hand was still connected to mine.
"Peeta?" I say hoarsely. My voice is so weak and not fully regained. The tube made my throat feel incredibly dry. I know Peeta is a light sleeper and when I say his name, opens his eyes.
"Katniss! You're awake!" He exclaims. I guess I've been out for a while since he looks really excited that I'm awake so I give him a smile. "How do you feel?"
"Well, I feel terrible but a lot better than last time I was awake." I tell him.
"It's going to hurt, Katniss. You were so close to death, I thought I lost you. But I promise that I will do everything possible to make it not hurt!" He says as I smile.
"Thanks." I say and suddenly have that feeling again. The feeling that I got on the beach in the 75th hunger games. The urge to be in Peeta's arms. I rip the covers off me slid my legs off the bed. When I do this, Peeta runs right into action.
"No Katniss, you have to stay in bed." He tells me. He swings my legs onto the bed again and tires to put the covers back on me but I stop him. Once again, I pull my legs out and plant them onto the cold tiles on the floor. This time, Peeta does not stop me.
I push off the bed with my arms, forcing myself to stand up. Immediately I begin to fall but Peeta catches me and wraps his arms carefully around me.
Finally! I'm in Peeta's arms. I dig my face into his shoulder and he embraces me even more. We stand there for a while before my legs finally collapse and Peeta lays my back on the bed. He places a kiss on my lips and I kiss him back. He carefully crawls into bed with me and I fall asleep in his arms.
It's the same routine for the next 2 weeks. When I wake up, Peeta is always at my side. Prim often comes to visit me.
One morning, I wake up and I see that all the wires and IVs are out. I look over and I see a very happy Peeta.
"You've been discharge! But you still have to take it easy." He says. I smile and he helps me out of bed. I change out of my hospital gown into a shirt and pants. Then we travel down to the elevator. I expect Peeta to push the floor number that his room is on, but he pushes something else. I don't recognize the number. But I don't question him because obviously he knows what he's doing.
When the elevator opens, I see that we are in district 13's garden. I didn't even know 13 had one! Peeta joins his hand with mine and we walk through the garden. I look at the many types of plants and I am glad that I don't see any white roses. Peeta and I don't talk much. We just take in each other's company. When we reach the center of the garden, there is a beautiful waterfall.
"Wow." I say.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" He replies. I nod my head in agreement still admiring the water fountain. "Beautiful like you," He says. I turn my head to look at Peeta and I can tell I'm blushing. I smile and he brings me closer to the water fountain.
"Katniss, I love you. I always have and I always will. You make my life worth living. Without you, I'm nothing." He takes a deep breath and kneels down on one knee. I realize what he is doing and I feel my heart race faster. He digs his hand into his pocket and pulls out a silver box and opens it.
"Katniss Everdeen, will you marry me?"
Umm... sorry once again for the cliffhanger! I just love putting them in! (lol) I will try to have the next chapter up tomorrow.
