Sorry I haven't updated this story in a while, this won't be a very long chapter it's kind of just a follow up to the previous one
Chapter 17
Peeta's POV
A week passed, she still lay there, it was sad how she was missing out on all the fun, I kept seeing her face when she was at archery, that smile on her face when she hit her target.
I missed her so much, and I wanted her back with me, the door opened and Gale walked in
"Hey mellark, any change?" he asked
I shook my head and held onto Katniss's hand; Gale sat on the other side of the bed, he looked at me, "Peeta, you look tired, you really should take a break" he said to me, I couldn't though I needed to stay by her side.
"I am fine, I am not leaving her, she needs me here" I replied.
Suddenly I felt her hand twitch, I held felt this happen a few times in the past week, usually it was just a reflex, "katniss?" I asked, I felt her squeeze my hand again, this had never happened before.
"Gale, she has just responded twice" I said, Gale came over and stood beside me
"catnip?" I asked, suddenly she moved
"Peeta? Gale?" she said sounding groggy
"katniss, baby, can you hear me?" I asked, her head moved and suddenly her eyes flickered open, as soon as I saw her amazing grey eyes again I smiled, Gale ran out to get the doctors, "Peeta, I have come back to you" she said to me, I felt tears running down my cheeks, "I knew you would, I love you so much Katniss" I said as I kissed her, her kiss felt tender on my lips.
Katniss's POV
I was over the moon that I finally managed to come back, my head hurt but it felt great to be able to feel Peeta again, I hated not being able to tell him I was there, but one thing I knew is that he really did love him, he had never left my side once.
"thank you Peeta" I said, talking was difficult as I felt so tired but I managed, he looked at me, those bright blue eyes that I had missed so much.
"for what?" he asked, "well for not leaving my side, but you really didn't have to, you have missed out on activities because of me" I replied.
"don't be silly, I am your boyfriend it is my job to look after you" Peeta replied as he kissed me.
"I saw you, I was trying to talk to you but I just couldn't, you and Prim" I said, Peeta looked at me shocked, "what you saw us in here? He asked.
Suddenly the doctors came in including Portia, they were checking the machines beside me, Portia had yellow hair and was caked in makeup, she reminded me of Effie I met on day one, "welcome back Katniss, and may I see you have a very kind boyfriend here, he has never left your side all week" she said to me, I looked at Peeta and smiled, I pulled him down to me and whispered in his ear, "I promise when I feel 100% again I will reward you in kindness" I said and I liked his lips, he smirked at me, "I look forward to that" he whispered back, I let out a little Giggle, I saw Gale's eyes role as he shook his head.
"is she going to be Okay then?" Peeta asked, Portia nodded, "she is going to be just fine, but you need to take it easy for a while and come for check up's once a week, you can do activities but nothing to physical" Portia explained.
Gale came over and hugged me, "I missed you catnip, you missed survival, it was so funny, even Peeta missed it" Gale said
"You chose survival?" I asked Peeta, he smiled, I knew exactly why he chose this so we could make out, I giggled.
"so when can I get out of here?" I asked as I sat up, I felt slightly dizzy, Peeta then held my shoulders, "whoa, you need to take it easy girl, lay back down" he said to me, "peeta, I am fine, stop fussing" I replied laughing.
"well we will keep you in a few more days just to make sure you are okay, the after you can leave and take it easy for a while" Portia said, I was really excited to get out and get back on my feet but the thing I was looking forward to the most was making out with peeta again.
The next few days went in a flash, everybody came to see me and it was great seeing Prim again, she told me everything about what she had done, and how she had made a lot of new friends, and a guy who she thinks is cute, oh my little sister was growing up so fast, she had approved of Peeta as well.
Then came the day that I finally got to come out, I swung my legs out of bed and stood up, I felt shaky at first, Peeta held onto my waist as I took my first few steps, I nearly fell, "don't worry I got you Baby" Peeta said, I turned around and put my arms around his neck, "I love you Peeta Mellark" I said to him as my voice turned into a whisper, "I love you too Katniss Everdeen" he replied, he then gave me a quick kiss, "you don't realise how much I have missed that" Peeta replied.
