Hye guys! Sorry I didn't post a chapter yesterday! Here is the next one and I will try to post the next chapter soon! In case you haven't noticed, I have been writing the last few chapters in Peeta's POV because if I wrote it in Katniss, it would be really boaring and she wouldn't know what's going on so I may or may not write chapter 21 in Katniss POV. Tell me what you think.
Peeta's POV:
Katniss is alive. My sweetheart, my love… is alive.
The first thing I see is the many wires connecting Katniss to machines. What did they do to save her? Snow said there was no way Katniss would live but here she is! I walk further into the room and I see a doctor go over to Katniss. He plays with her arm, trying to find the right place to inject the needle that he's holding. He finds the right spot and slides the needle into her arm, taping it in place. He gets up and that's when he sees me.
"Oh Peeta! I didn't see you there!" He exclaims. I don't say anything. I don't even look at him. I just stare at Katniss searching for her beautiful gray eyes.
"You're very lucky. We lost her numerous times but we were able to get a medicine into her blood stream that kills off any other drugs that are in her. However, some nightlock made it into her heart and we will have to perform surgery when we arrive at 13. But as of now, she's stable.
"She will live, right?" I ask. She has to live.
"Yes, if everything goes as planned, which we are certain they will, she will live." He replies. I simply nod my head and I start to walk towards her but the doctor stops me.
"She's too weak. It's probably best if you go back to your room until we reach 13." He says.
This makes me mad. I have just been through a week of torcher and watching Katniss slowly die. She is very weak and that's when she needs me the most. Nothing can stop me from getting to her. I shove the doctor aside and continue walking to Katniss.
"Peeta, please-" He begins but I cut him off.
"She needs me." I say. I see it in his eyes that he is debating if he should allow it. No matter what he chooses, I am still staying with Katniss.
"Alright then." He says and walks out the door. I wait to hear the door shut and when I do, I bring a chair next to her bed and I sit down.
I take her hand and I hold it. I start to draw circles on her palm with my thumb. Every once in a while, she will stir and moan. I hold her hand tightly and whisper soothing words into her ear. I do this often since it always helps Katniss calm down. Finally she's calm again.
Suddenly a wave of guilt crosses over me. I have always been able to keep her alive so how come she is always in the hospital, hurt? This picture with Katniss in the hospital and me beside her bed, happens way too often.
My thoughts are interrupted by the shake of the hovercraft. We have just landed in 13. A wave of doctors walks into the room and I step back. I know Katniss needs surgery so I let the doctors take over. They role her cot out the room and off the hovercraft. I follow close by so that I know that Katniss is okay.
Once we reach to the operation room, I stop following and allow the door to close. I watch from the outside and doctors gather around her.
There is nothing I can do to help her right now. And that is the worst feeling. Not being able to help the one you love.
I go back upstairs to search for Haymitch and I find him and Gale at the cafeteria eating dinner. I don't have an appetite right now. With Katniss down in surgery, who could eat? I sit down next to Haymitch, across from Gale.
"How is she?" Gale asks. I look at him and I try to read his face. I can't tell if he still loves Katniss or not. So I drop my gaze and I look down at my shoes.
"She's in surgery right now," I reply still not looking up.
"Katniss will be fine. She's a survivor." Haymitch says reassuringly. He's right. It's Katniss who we're talking about. She will survive because without her, I'm nothing.
There is a long period of silence before anyone says anything. Haymitch, as usual, is the first to speak.
"Well Peeta, we have good news. Our soldiers we able to find and capture both Coin and Snow. They are on a hovercraft right now on their way to 13. We will send them into a cell until we know what to do with them." He says. I am stunned. Why wasn't Snow guarded? But I know exactly what to do with them.
"Katniss kills them." I state. "When she's well enough." Haymitch and Gale just stare at me.
"That could be a while. It would be best if we just killed them when they arrive." Gale says. I don't agree with it. I know how bad Katniss wants to kill Snow and Coin. I don't feel like putting up and argument so I don't respond. Instead, I stand up and I make my way to the elevator. I press the floor that will bring me up to my room. I walk down the empty hallway and into my room. I get into some sweat pants and a T-shirt and I crawl into bed. I immediately fall asleep.
When I open my eyes, it is lunch time. I guess I haven't gotten a good sleep in a while. I take a quick shower and I dress in a normal pair of pants and a shirt. Then I make my way down to the hospital. I don't care about food even though I'm hungry. Katniss is way more important.
I find a nurse and I ask her where Katniss is.
"She is down the hall, fifth door to your right," she answers. I navigate my way down the hall and I count the doors on my right until I get to the fifth one. I read the clip board just to make sure. It reads:
Katniss Everdeen
I open the door, hoping to see Katniss awake but instead, I see Gale bending over Katniss. Then they pull apart and I realize that Gale still loves Katniss and he just kissed the love of my life.
So Gale still DOES love Katniss! How will Peeta react? Review to find out!
