Sorry it has been so long since I updated. My mom was in a car accident a couple weeks ago and I graduated last Friday. I might do a sequel to this story, so let me know if that is something you would want to read. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
DISCLAIMER: Yea, I still don't own the Hunger Games. :(
Peeta's POV
I woke up to a strange being noise. When I opened my eyes, I didn't recognize the room I was in. "Peeta?" I heard someone say. I turned to see my mother sitting beside me.
"Mom, where am I?" I said confused.
"You're in the hospital. You were hit by a car," she said. I tried to sit up but it hurt too much. "No, Peeta, don't sit up. Stay lying down. The doctor said you broke a couple ribs when the car hit you."
"Where's Katniss? Did she come?"
"She's in the waiting room. She called 911 and they said she wouldn't leave your side. She really loves you," my mother replied.
"Why isn't she in here then?"
"Family only," she said. Katniss must have followed me from the party. Does she forgive me? I thought she hated me and never wanted to see me again? That's what she said to me in school.
"How did she know to call 911?"
"She saw the accident. She said she was following you because she needed talk to you when the accident happened. She was a wreck when I came. She wanted me to give you this," she said handing me a letter. I unfolded it and began reading.
Peeta,
I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I realize now I was just being stupid. The doctor won't let me se you but I hope you can forgive me and we can fix what happened between us. I love you.
Love, Katniss.
I felt the tears well up in my eyes. She still loves me. She wants to fix everything.
Katniss's POV
I hope he is okay. I can't believe the doctors won't let me see him.
"Katniss? What are you doing here" I looked up to see Finnick. Next to him was Annie.
"I need to talk to Peeta. They won't let anyone who isn't family in," I replied.
"Are you going to get back together?"
"Hopefully. I realized I was being stupid," I said.
"At least you're going to fix things," Finnick said.
"He's unconscious right now. At least that's all I've heard," I said.
"Any news?" Finnick asked.
"3 broken ribs, broken ankle, and a minor concussion." Suddenly, Mrs. Mellark came out.
"Katniss, Peeta is awake and he read your letter," she said. I wasn't sure I wanted to know the answer, but I still asked what he said. "He said he really needs to talk to you when they let you in."
Peeta's POV
It had been an hour since I woke up and they still hadn't let Katniss in. I really wanted to talk to her. "Peeta?" I looked up to see my nurse. "Would you like to see your friends?"
"Yes," I said. I saw Finnick and Annie walk in.
"Hey, how are you doing, man?" Finnick said.
"I'm hurting, a lot," I replied. "Where's Katniss?" I asked looking at the door.
"She wants to talk to you alone so she sent us in first," Annie replied.
"Oh, can I please talk to her… now?" I said impatiently.
"Fine," Finnick said. They walked out and my mother followed. Katniss walked in with red, puffy cheeks. She walked to my bed slowly.
"Don't worry. I don't bite," I said to try and calm her down. She giggled.
"Peeta, I owe you a huge apology. I should've listened to you. I'm sorry," she said.
"Come here," I said holding my arms out.
"Which side has the broken ribs?"
"Left," I replied. She walked over to my right side and into my arms. It felt so good to hold her again.
"Can we please get back together? I miss you so much," she said into my shoulder.
"Of course. I love you," I said.
"I love you too, Peeta," she replied. She pulled away and gave me a kiss.
"Yay!" We separated to see Finnick, Annie, Madge, Gale, Cato, Marvel, Clove, and Johanna at the door cheering.
"Finally," Gale said. We all started laughing.
"Katniss?" I saw my mother walk through everybody.
"Yes?"
"Your mom just called. Your sister just had a stroke," she said. Katniss tensed up.
Sorry this chapter is short. I will try to make the next one longer. So review letting me know if you would like me to write a sequel for this. My friend, ForeverEverdeen (please read her story), gave me the idea of maybe making it a college story. So the sequel would be set in college. Let me know if you want me to. Please review!
