Chapter 6 Hospital visits
ERRMAHGERD GUYS! School. Eck. It can go die in a hole. Sorry for taking a while to post but here you are! GOOD NEWS 94 followers. YAY! 6 more? Pwetty pwease? *-* Enjoy the chapter!
I wake to bright lights and the sound of a machine buzzing to my left. I sit up and the dull throbbing in my ankle spikes and sends a jolt up my leg. I can't help but let out a small noise and something stirs next to me.
Peeta sits asleep in the chair next to my hospital bed. His hair is ruffled slightly and sits adorably on his forehead. I freeze. What the hell is he doing here?
The memory of track comes back to me and I groan internally. I'm such a fucking klutz… I run a hand through my hair and sigh. Peeta stirs again and another thought occurs to me. Wait… why IS he here? It's not like he had to wait for me… I feel something swell inside me. Does he… like me? I see Delly shoving her tongue down his throat and I shake the thought off. No he has a girlfriend! Besides why would he like me? He's probably just trying to be nice.
I turn to him and examine him closer. He has a slight trail of stubble lining his jaw from where he didn't shave that morning. The sunlight is shining off his tussled golden locks the way I love it. He's still in his sports shirt and I can't help but notice the way it's slightly pulled up showing off a thin strip of skin before his sport shorts. A trail of golden hair leads down into his shorts where his-
Peeta rolls over in his sleep and I tear my eyes away from him. Oh my god I'm such a fucking perve! Stop checking him out in his sleep! I think as my cheeks turn a light shade of pink.
"Hey." A voice croaks beside me. My head snaps up and Peeta smiles at me. Let's hope he didn't see that…
"Hey," I say awkwardly. "What time is it?" What I really wanna know is how long you've been there…
Peeta stretches and pulls his phone out of his back pocket. His eyes widen at the sight of it. "Shit! It's four o'clock! I was meant to meet Delly an hour ago!" He quickly stands. "I'm really sorry I have to go," He looks at my ankle, which has now been wrapped in a bandage to be casted later. "Hope you feel better." He says before flashing me a guilty smile and jogging out of the room.
I stare quietly at the door for a few minutes. I pick up my pillow and smack myself in the face several times. I broke my ankle… Whack… Peeta came with me to the hospital… Whack… He fell asleep while he was waiting for me to wake up… Whack… Then he woke up… Whack… and had to go see his girlfriend. I bury my head in the pillow and scream, but it's muffled by the pillow. I drop the pillow onto my lap and standing there in the door way, smirks gracing all their features, are my 4 best friends.
"Geez I thought you had a broken ankle, I didn't know you went insane too." Clove says and I throw the pillow at her. She smirks and catches it.
I tip my head back and groan and Madge smirks. "Was that Peeta I saw outside?"
"Uh-huh." I groan.
"Did he stay with you?" Mellissa asks.
"Uh-huh."
"And he's going to see his girlfriend now right?" Johanna says before bursting out in laughter. Johanna Mason, the girl with the axe, unlike Clove who will take you down precisely Johanna will cut you down with one blow. I feel my heart ache in my chest.
I turn to Johanna and death-glare her. "Not helping Jo!" I yell and bury my face in my hands.
She just smirks and shakes her head. "God brainless, don't you see it? He likes you! Why the hell else would he wait for you?"
I sigh and rub my eye lids to keep the hot tears from slipping out of my eyes.
"You've got it bad Kat. I've known you a long time and I've never seen you fall for a guy like that," Madge says rubbing my shoulder lightly. "What does he even see in that bitch Delly?"
I sigh longingly and Clove finally decides to change the subject. "So how's your ankle?" She asks. I look at my ankle.
"Good I guess," I smirk "It only hurts when I move it." I say sarcastically and they all chuckle. A doctor comes into the room and raises an eyebrow at us.
"Hello Miss Everdeen, I'm Dr Aurelius," He smiles softly at me. "Judging by your x-rays we have come to the conclusion that you have, in fact, broken your ankle. We will try and get you into surgery this afternoon and cast your foot. After that only time will heal it, you should be ok in about six to eight weeks. That is after all if you let it heal, otherwise it'll only get worse."
Six to eight weeks. Kill me now. Prom is in nine weeks. Thank the mother fucking lord. Just let it heal Deen and hope not to go to prom in fucking crutches…. Phew. I let out a sigh of relief.
"That's all?" I ask.
"Yep. I would suggest you stay away from pain killers, you might end up hurting yourself more, only take them if it's really necessary. I'll be back in a couple of hours for your surgery. Oh and one more thing, your sister's here." He smiles at me before walking out the door.
"Huh," I say. "Well that's not too bad." I mutter to myself.
Clove snorts "Not too bad? Are you kidding? You'd be lucky if it healed before prom. I know you Katniss and trust me when I say you'll do something that'll fuck it up and it'll take longer to heal." She says with a smirk.
I grin. "Is that a bet?" I ask.
She ponders this for a minute. "Sure. Winner gets twenty." She says.
I sigh. "Really? Are you a child? We're big girls so we take big girl bets."
She raises an eyebrow at me and bites the side of her mouth. "Fine, what do you want if I lose?"
I laugh evilly and thread my fingers together. "If I win, Clove Fuhrman, you have to go up to… Hmm let's see… Cato," Her eyes widen slightly. "and punch him in the balls." I finish smugly.
She laughs as she speaks. "I'd do that now…" She says.
I grin "I know that which is why I'm not done. You have to go to Cato and punch him in the balls after you kiss him… with tongue."
She blinks before nodding slowly. "Ok, I'm down for that… But you… You have to go up to Peeta," Oh god this can't be good. "And confess your undivided love to him," Shit. "In front of the whole school."
"What?!"
She smirks "Remember Katniss we're big girls now so we take big girl bets." She says and they all laugh before walking out the door.
Aaannnndddd there you have it. A bet. Yay. Ok guys! This is serious! It really is. Ready? Are you ready for this awesome news? Cause I think you're ready! OK I am now taking requests for POV's (You got that?) ONE THING (Hehehe LOL anyone get that reference?) I will NOT be doing Peeta's review till later because I want to save his emotions for later and keep them a surprise.
