the last chapter kinda sucked, this one may as well. I wrote this top part before the story, so let me know what you think of it after you read! I like writing from peeta's point of view for some reason…
Chapter 16 – Peeta's POV
"Gale?" Katniss looked like she had been hit by a bus. "You're dating Johanna?"
"I think the fact that you could be pregnant is a bigger problem!"
"Gale, she's not pregnant, she's not going to get pregnant from last night!"
"So it did happen!" He slapped his hand to his forehead. "Catnip, did he force you into it?"
"No Gale, it was me. Okay? He was the perfect gentleman and actually asked me what I wanted." She hinted at what happened between them.
"Catnip, I said I was sorry for that." He clenched his fists and then unclenched. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, we both are. Now get back to your girlfriend and tell her she broke her promise not to tell anyone." He left.
The rest of the school day was uneventful. We picked up Prim and we all drove to their house. Prim never stopped smiling from the time she got in the car. "Peeta, did Katniss sleep over at your house last night?"
"Yes."
"Did you guys do it again?" I looked at Katniss. She shook her head.
"No."
"Good." She smiled.
Katniss glared back at her sister. "Prim, you seem to be in a good mood."
"That's because I am."
"Why would that be?" I asked.
"Rory."
"Did he ask you out?"
"Yes! I'm going over to his house for dinner Friday."
Katniss looked really happy for Prim. "Prim, that's awesome!" I pulled up in front of their house. We all got out of the car. When inside, we saw Lilian and Gale were talking on the couch. "Gale, what are you doing here?"
"Katniss, he just got here. He said he wanted to tell me something."
"Yeah, and what would that be?" Peeta asked, setting down his bag.
"I would like to tell you what Peeta and Katniss were doing last night."
"Oh, that? They told me already."
"And you're okay with it?"
"Well, I it would have been best if it never happened, but as long as he doesn't hurt her and she's happy, I can't get in their way."
"Thank you mom."
"Prim, why are you so happy?" Gale looked confused.
Katniss and I laughed. "You mean your brother didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"Prim's going over to your house for a date with Rory!"
"Oh, God. Now I have to go talk to Rory. See you later Mrs. Everdeen, Katniss, Peeta, Prim." He nodded in our general direction and left.
Katniss's mom spoke up. "How did Gale find out?"
"Um, well, he must have overheard us talking." Or something along those lines.
There was a long time without sound that followed. Katniss stared at the floor. "Mom, Peeta said I could stay with him for a while. Is that okay?" Lilian looked at us for a few seconds.
"Peeta, take care of her." Katniss beamed. "Go get some stuff to take along. I'll make sure Prim and Rory walk to school together."
At my house, Katniss and I finished our homework. By ten o'clock, we were ready to go to bed. We fell asleep quickly. In the middle of the night, Katniss woke up. "Peeta?" She whispered.
"What?"
"I think there's someone else in the house." I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I sat quietly and heard some footsteps downstairs. I got up and told Katniss to stay in bed. She didn't listen, because soon enough she was behind me. "I couldn't let you go alone."
I put my index finger to my lips. She nodded. I walked to the top of the staircase and peered down the banister. There were three men dressed in black pants and jackets. They had ski masks on. Katniss was breathing over my shoulder. "Oh my god!" She yelled. The men looked up and came upstairs.
"Katniss! Hide!" I screamed at her.
"I'm not leaving you!" She yelled. I pushed her into the bedroom and locked the door. The men were almost all the way up the stairs. The one in the front looked the biggest. I kicked him down and he and the other two fell down the stairs. The big one got up and took out a knife. I tried to kick him again, but he jabbed me in the leg with the knife. I fell down hard on the floor. They ran out of my house and carried out four or five bags. "Peeta!" Katniss opened the door. She got one look at my leg and screamed.
"Katniss, help me downstairs."
"Peeta, I'm taking you to the hospital."
"No, it's not that bad."
"There is a knife in your leg!" I didn't talk anymore. She dragged me down the stairs and took my keys from the kitchen. Katniss helped me into the passenger seat and took the wheel. "I can't really drive, so if we live through this, your leg will get better."
"Babe, it hurts so much!"
"I know, Peeta. Just hold on there for a while." She drove us to the hospital, basically ignoring every traffic light and stop sign.
"Katniss, the cops are going to pull us over before we get there." I joked. Sweat dripped down my face. "Oh, God!"
"Peeta, I'm trying to get there!" It only took us five minutes. She just pulled up to the entrance and left the car there. A couple with a baby were walking through the door. "Hey, can you watch our car for a little? Thanks."
Katniss gave them the keys. I looked back and they were stunned. Katniss ran us to the emergency care area. "Hello, may I help you?"
"Come on! You don't see the knife in his leg?"
The lady looked at my leg. I was in an under shirt and boxers. They were stained with blood. Katniss's hands were also red. "Okay, sweetheart, you're going to have to leave him with us. I'll call you in when you can see him." She said it so calmly.
"I'm not leaving him." Tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"Katniss, just go park the car. Don't wreck it." I winced when I looked at my leg. Some people lifted me onto a stretcher and I was carried into a white hallway. They brought me into a room and moved me to a bed. Then I was out.
never saw that coming! well, I didn't either!
I'm listening to Pandora and One Direction came on. It wouldn't let me skip the song. do any of you like one direction? I have never heard their songs, but I know I don't want to…next chapter almost here!
