When she's sick stay up all night to take care of her.
Katniss had a bad case of the flu. I suspect it was from going hunting in bad weather, I mean seriously it was about to rain when she went out and when she came in an hour and a half later it was thunder storming.
Well now she has a high fever of 103 degrees, is throwing up at least once every hour till she has nothing left,she basically has every symptom from having the flu. And I felt utterly horrible about it. I keep thinking that if I had tried harder to keep her inside she wouldn't be so miserable now.
I cautiously walked up the stairs carrying a steaming hot bowl of soup. I paused at the door to our room and winced at the sound of Katniss's couaghing and hacking. I held on to the soup with one hand and opened the door with the other hand.
"Katniss? Are you feeling better?" I asked as I walked in. I know that was a stupid question but it's the curtiuos thing to do. Katniss glares at me though before answering.
"Does it look like I'm doing better?" she asked horsely. No, she did not look better at all but I'm not going to be the one telling her that she looks like crap.
"Well you look...um...well not too...bad," I responed lamely. Katniss rasied her eyebros at me.
"Oh really then why the heitaion?" She got me there Ibut I had to say something.
"Well, you see I wasn't quite sure how to put,or how it was worded in my mind because you and me have two very different thoughts, on how the wording of what I said should be that you would not take a meaning different of what I had the purpose to say," I said hopeing that I confused her enouhg that she would stop asking questions. And luck was in my favor because she got this really confused look on her face, then she shrugged it off and went back to staring at the wall.
"Would you like some soup?" I asked.
"No."
"Please Katniss just eat some soup. You need some kind of food," I told her. Just as I was hit with the memory of her feeding me soup in a cave, when I was sick.
"Come on Katniss please eat. You have to eat you need it please,please,please eatit," I pleaded with her.
"Food make me feel nausious," she said flatly.
"Come on Katniss you feed me soup when I sick and didn't want to eat anything, now you have to let me help you." She sighed and turned to face me.
"Okay but I'm only eat till I think I've had enough and I'm feeding myself,": she said. I grinned in relief even though I would have liked to do it without any terms I was glad she was eating something. I sat back and watched her as she ate waiting to jump in if she needed any help.
One spoonful. Two spoonfuls. Three spoonfuls. One minute of couaghing and hacking. Four spoonfuls. Five spoonfuls. Six spoonfuls.
"I'm full," she said as she sat back and handed me the soup. I wish she would eat more but a deals a deal.
"Okay but at least will you take some medicine?" She nodded and I literally jumped up and ran downstairs to get some. I rumaged around in the cabinets till I found the right one. Then I sprinted right back upstairs.
"Here swallow these two pills and then drink this," I gestured to a bottle of water on the bedside table and Handed her the pills. She made a face but did it anyway.
After that was done I glanced at the clock and my jaw drop when I saw that it was 10:12 P.M.
"Katniss it's pretty late I want you to try to get some sleep." Katniss nodded sleepily and lyed down. I covered her up with blankets and sat down in a chair in frount of her. I watched her as she feel asleep and then watched as she slept. No, I'm not a creeper I was just making sure she slept okay, besides it's not I'll be sleeping soon.
At about Midnight She started to shiver serveirly so I got two more blankets and put them on her. An hour and a half later she started sweating and rolling around so I took off three blankets. At 4:15c she leaned over the side of the bed and I baerly got the trash can under her in time before she threw up. I went and dumped that out outside and when I got back I fell on to the bed instead of the chair. I closed my eyes just for a second.
I woke up to bright sunlight comeing through the window and Katniss was gone.
"Katniss?" I asked looking around. She appeared in the bathroom door way brushbing her teeth.
"Hey Peeta. I'm feeling so much better now," she said while smiling. I smiled too then fell back on the bed with a groan.
"That's great because I think I'm sick now," I said between a coughing fit. I didn't mind though because my Mockinjay was well again.
Sorry there's only one but my dad was yelling at me to do something useful. I already have part of ch 9 done though so it will either be up later today, tomarrow, or Monday. If I don't see you till Monday then HAPPY EASTER!
