As always read & review!
Peeta POV
I've finally managed to get mom out of the house to take a breather and so I head upstairs to tell Katniss she can go but when I get there, there is no movement from underneath the clothes, I get right down to the bottom of the closet and begin to panic, she's gone. I search everywhere in my room and come across a note that reads: Katniss xox
That's how she signs off the entries in her scrapbook, I begin to stress out even more, she can't do this to me, she can't leave me! I tell Finnick, Gale, Marvel, Wheat, Rye and dad about her scrapbook and her note and they begin to panic to searching the house Gale rings Madge and asks her to ring Annie neither one of them have her, her mom's or Prim's phone number and none of them have seen her. I remember the name of her street but i'm pretty sure that when I see her house i'll recognise it, so without thinking about telling any of the others I walk out of the house and jump into my car, I drive well above the speed limit and get to the street, I sigh with relief when I see her house. I rush out of the car and knock on the door loudly, Prim answers, "You know you have some nerve coming round here after that 'rude interuption' at your house."
I just ignore her, "Where is she?"
"What does it matter, she said that she just wants to say goodbye and let you have a good life," she says which makes me panic even more, I'm guessing she doesn't know about the scrapbooks or anything.
"Please, tell me where she is, I need to see her! I can't have a good life without her!" I scream at Prim, determind to get an answer.
"She's in her music studio and wants to be left alone," she answers. I push her out the waay and run through their small house to where I know the steps to the basement are, I run down the stairs nearly slipping but I don't care I need to know that she's okay. I rattle the door of the music studio, it's locked and she isn't answering it, "Katniss, please open the door!"
"I can't" I hear through the door her strangle cry gets me panicking so much I run at the door which gives way as soon as I smash into it, I look all around for her but I can't see her anywhere, I remember the bathroom at the other end of the room, I rattle the door again and it's locked again, without hesitation I smash down this door as well. I see her sprawled on the floor, the mirror is smashed and she has a shard of it in her right hand, I bend down to here and see marks on her wrist that continuously bleeds. I call for Prim and her mom, I grab a towel hanging on the rails in the bathroom and put pressure on her wrist, Prim and Mrs Everdeen burst into bathroom of the music studio and instead of breaking down in tears like I expect Mrs Everdeen says, "carry her into the kitchen upstairs, quickly!"
I do as she says with Prim and Mrs Everdeen rushing up the stairs, they clear the kitchen counter and I lay her down on it, they turn into nurses the two do they do all sorts to her and don't even ask me to call an ambulance, I watch hoping they can help Katniss. Tears are streaming down my face they've put her under anesthetic so when they finished doing everything they can Prim comes over to where I sit and puts her arm around me, "I'm sorry, I snapped at you and thank you for saving my sister."
"You guys did all the work," I say with tears still streaming down my face.
"No you pushed me in order to reach her, you smashed through two doors in order to reach her, you carried her upstairs to the kitchen." She bites her lip before she carries on, "mom told me not to tell you this but she was literally minutes from death."
I try my best not to cry but I manage to let out a small mumble, "could you ask your mom if I could stay until she wakes."
"She already said you could, I'll get you a pillow and blanket," and she leaves me in the kitchen watching over Katniss. I can't loose her, not now, ot when I've finally found out everything about her. Prim hands me a pillow and blanket and leaves me again, but I don't mind I try and keep my eyes from closing but I can't help it and I fall to sleep.
I'm shaken awake by Prim, "she's murmering. I thought it ould be best if she saw you first." I nod and rub my eyes, in my mind I thank Prim for awaking me from a nightmare and I think I was just about to watch Katniss kill herself again. I look at Katniss who his murmering after about a few minutes Katniss' eyes flutter open and she sadly smiles at me.
"What happened?" she asked confused, she must be a bit light-headed from the anesthetic. So I walk over to her arm that was bleeding I see it and it's scared over now, it reads: 'I'm sorry, Peeta' I feel guilty instantly but decide not to show it, I point at her wrist and she looks at it and her eyes widen with recognition. "Who found me?"
"I did, I had to push Prim out the way, I nearly broke my neck on the stairs, I smashed down two doors, I had to carry you into here, I watched them nurse you and then I had to listen to Prim tell me that you were literally minutes from death." She bursts into tears but I continue, "but i'd do all that and more for you, i'd take a bullet for you."
