CHAPTER 25 (Peetas' POV):
As I stand in my dad's hospital room I begin to think about who ,or what, might have started the fire. But every time I think about it all I see is blank. I wish that I never left home, to go to the game. Maybe I could have prevented or stopped the fire had I been there. I honestly don't think that me leaving and my house catching on fire was a councidence.
I stand up and walk over to the bathroom, as I walk in the automatic light switch on and I look at my reflection in the mirror. I don't only feel like shit, but I look the part too. My hair is standing up at strange angles and I have dark purple circles under my eyes, which also happen to be red and puffy. As I look in the mirror I remember the words that Dr. Hartman spoke to me. "Your dad and brothers will be fine, as for your mother... the fire really got her good. We don't think she'll make it but we are trying our hardest to keep her alive."
Before he said that to me, nurse Joy told me that my mother had my mom had broken several ribs, she also shattered her ankle, she bumped her head hard enough to almost brake it and she was internally bleeding. I had asked if I could see her but they told me she couldn't have visitors, of coarse I objected statting that she was my mother but they warnned to kick me out of the hospital if I tried to go in.
I quickly used the bathroom and walked out. I met up with Katniss in the hallway my brothers were staying in. "How's he doing?" She asked, she was talking about my dad. "He's doing fine." I said blandly. "And your um mother?" Katniss asked quietly. "No better then before I suppose." I answered.
"Listen Katniss, you don't have to stay tonight. Go to the hotel with everyone and get some sleep. I'll stop by in the morning, okay?" I said to her. "No, Peeta I want to stay and be here for you." She replied quickly. "Your not obligated to stay just because i'm your boyfriend, you know?" I said in a semi rude manner. She looked at me with a mask of hurt.
"Fine. If you don't want me here i'll go." "No, Kat its not that I don't want you to stay but I kind of want to be, you know, alone." I said that last part to myself because she had already grabbed her bag and walked off.
"Fuck." I mutter. Not only is my family in the hospital, now my girlfriend is mad at me. Well fuck me. Just what I need, more shit to deal with. I walk back to my dad's room and sit on the chair next to his bed. I start to close my eyes when I hear a loud "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" From the other hallway. I open my eyes and run out of the room, following the sound.
As soon as I turn the corner I see that a group of doctors is crowding around a room. I get closer and notice the room number. It's my mom's room. I run all the way to the room and make my way inside long enough to see a doctor trying to bring my mother back to life.
My mom is dead.
3 days later
I walked out of my hotel room and made my way to Katniss'. As soon as I knock someone opens it, Madge. "Hey hot stuff. You here for Kat?" She greeted, I barley have time to nod before I here Katniss say from somewhere in the room, "Okay Madge, you can stop eye fucking my boyfriend and let him in." I grin as Madge opens the door wider and I walk inside. As soon as I am in the room I start coughing as I am in toxicated by a fruity smell.
"Ugh, what is that smell?" I say to Katniss. She giggles and says, "Its purfume, Annies purfume." "I feel bad for Finnick then." I reply with a chuckle. Annie walks by and mutters, "He loves my purfume." I laugh.
My mom had passed away 3 days ago. I'm still not over it. But Katniss seems to be making things better for me. Whenever I see her I automaticly smile. Just talking to her makes my life so much better, she's my remedy in a weird way. Today Katniss, my father, my two brothers, and I are going out for dinner since the hospital let them go. They are feeling much better and are healing pretty quickly.
Right now, all of the football team, and all of the cheerleaders are going out for breakfest amd then we are gonna go to a mall some place around here.
I sit down on Katniss' bed as she starts to get ready to leave. She puts on blackish short shorts with black pantihoes underneath and studded black boots, before she puts on her shirt she tells me to look away, I do as I am told with a chuckle. I grin as I peek once or twice. She put on a white and black, The Black Keys, t- shirt.
When she is done putting on her clothes she walks over to a mirror and starts to apply some make-up. She finishes up her make-up and grabs a blue object from her suit case. A hair flat iron. She plugs it into the wall and waits a while for it to heat up. As she waits she walks over to me and sits on my lap, smiling.
"You almost done?" I ask. "Almost." She answers before she pulls me to her and presses her lips to mine. We kiss for a while before she pulls away smiling and walks back over to the mirror. "Really? Your just gonna leave me hanging." I call to her. I seriously wish she hadn't pulled away, I was enjoying myself. She laughs and nods as she starts to straighten her hair.
When she is FINALLY done getting ready she turns off her flat iron and comes over to me. "Sorry I left you hanging, babe." She says with a grin. "Do you forgive me?" She added with a pout. I shook my head. She frowned, "How can I make it up to you?" "You could, I don't know. Get naked or something... just a suggestion." I said as I laughed. She laughed too and started to pull up her shirt. I looked at her with wide eyes and she laughed loudly as she pulled it back down.
"You actually thought I was gonna get naked, didn't you?" She asked when she stopped laughing long enough to say something. I nodded with a frown. She looked at me and then sat back on my lap, she took my face in her hands and kissed me gently. I kissed her back softly. "Forgive me now?" She whispered against my lips, I nodded and kept kissing her.
We made out until Johanna came over to us and snapped her fingers in our faces. "You guys, its time to go eat. And by eat, I don't mean eat each others faces off like you were just demonstrating." I chuckled and Katniss got off my lap. I stood up and we all walked out of the room.
We met up with the others in the hotel lobby and left for the nearest Ihop. When we found the place we stepped out of our car's and walked inside. Me and Finnick walked inside in slow motion. When we got inside a waitress showed us to our tables. All of the guys, including me, got about 4 tables and put them together. I sat down next to Katniss. We got our menus and ordered our drinks.
When the waitresses came back with our drinks we were all ready to order our food. We ordered and then began talking amoungst each other as we waited for the food to arrive. When the waitresses came back with our food we dug in. I ate my crapes and Katniss ate her Chocolate chip pancakes, the girl loves her chocolate.
I occasionaly took sips of my coffee, drinking it made me feel like and old person, other wise known as a adult, except when it came to Starbucks, your never to young or old for Starbucks. We ate and talked and drank until we were all to full to even open our mouths, afraid that if we did all the food would come gushing out.
We paid and left Ihop. As we got into our car's Cato was telling everyone how to get to the mall. I listened and when he was done, I got into the car and we drove to the mall. Some people got lost but luckily we didn't. "I am so happy you knew how to get here." Katniss said to me when we were in the parking lot. I smiled and gave her a peck on the cheek.
We found a parking spot and parked. I called everyone and we agreed to meet up at the movie theater here. When we walked inside something caught Katniss' attention. A store named Academy. We walked in she took me to the back, to a section subtitled "Archery". She looked around at all the diffrent bows and quivers of arrows. She said that all of the bows were great but her dad was the one that made the best bows, and with that, we left the store and made our way to the movie theater.
We stood on the side of the line for the movie tickets, waiting for everyone to come. A little while later everyone was standing in a circle arguing about which movie we were gonna watch. The guys and I didn't care which movie we were gonna "watch" because we were just gonna watch whatever our girlfriends pick, either way we are gonna end up making out and not watching it so who cares.
"The hobbit! No, Now you see me! Warm bodies! Come on lets just watch Fast 6!" All the girls argued until Katniss said, "Lets go watch The Great Gatsby." Everyone seemed pleased with her movie choice so we got in line and slowly made it to the front were we paid for our tickets.
We walked inside and there was another line a waiting us, the food line. I knew Katniss loved popcorn so I told her to go to the theater and pick our seats while I buy the snacks. She kissed me quickly and left. I waited about 10 minuets in the line before it was my turn.
"Can I have a box of M&M'S, a large bucket of popcorn and 2 medium ." I said to the cashier. He nodded and rung up my order. I paid and he handded me the food. I grabbed two straws and started my decent to the theater.
I walked in as the previews started and Katniss waved me over to our seats in the very back corner, I grinned to myself as I made my way to her. I sat down in the seat next to her, she took the box of M&M'S from my hand and opened it, she then poured them into the popcorn. Katniss smiled at me and said, "I love you so much, Peeta. Not only because your hot, but you buy me food too." I laughed and ate a handful of the popcorn mixture.
I looked up at the screen and started to watch the trailers. Every once and a while we would comment on a movie that looked good, or one that just seem tragicly bad, until finally the movie started. Katniss laid her head on my shoulder. Unfortunatly thats the only touching we did during the movie, true story.
