JOHANNA POV Chapter 5

We ran to infirmary to find Prim, and fortunately she was conscious again.

"What happened?!" Katniss asked

" I don't remember. I must have slipped or something." Prim explained

" Are you alright?" I asked

" It hurts but I'll be okay. Thanks Johanna," she smiled, "Katniss, did you get to talk to Johanna? It seemed important." Prim asked

" Ummm… not exactly. When we got the news that you hurt your head we came rushing over here." Katniss explained

" Yeah, we decided that the conversation would have to wait. But it's okay. We are just glad that you are okay." I said

"Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Well since you know that I'm okay now, you guys should talk. It seemed important… just promise to come visit me in a few hours? My head still hurts and I just want to rest here for a little bit anyways." Prim asked

" We will. Promise." Katniss said with a worried look. She is still standing there debating whether to stay or go, she seems a bit nervous.

" Go on! I need to sleep." She smiles.

" Okay okay. Johanna can we go back to your room?" Katniss asked

"Yeah sure." I said

I know what she is going to talk to me about. I just need to act cool. Don't smile so much. You'll give yourself away. Damn it. I'm smiling too much.

Katniss and I start to walk down the hallways toward my room. She's really nervous, I can tell. Am I making her nervous? I hope not.

PRIM POV

After Johanna and Katniss left, it was just Gale and me. I knew what they were going to talk about. I don't think Katniss got the hint that I was trying to send her off to go talk to Jo, she can be very oblivious sometimes.

" You really aren't going to sleep are you?" Gale asked

" Nope." I replied

" What is so important that they have to talk in private? I have seen the way Katniss acts around Johanna. She barely spends time with me anymore. What is so important that even you have to push them to talk to each other?" Gale asked jealously.

Wow I can see how jealous Gale is getting. I can literally feel it all the way from this bed. If Gale finds out he is going to flip. I'm not going to let that happen.

"I don't know. It just seemed important, as I said earlier. Even if I knew, it's still kind of not your business… Not to be rude or anything." I stated

" I know you know something. PLEASE tell me. I just don't want Katniss to get hurt… if there even is a possibility." Gale said

" I don't think she is going to get hurt. She will be fine. Trust me. And don't go snooping. Katniss will get pissed. It's not your business. If she wanted you to get involved she would have told you." I said

" Please just tell me. Pleeeaseee." Gale whined.

Gale needs to literally calm the fuck down. It's none of his business. He needs to respect her privacy and not go asking people what's going on with Katniss all the time. I know he knows something's up. Gale is making my head her worse. I have to get him to go. He is just going to keep asking me questions and it's irritating me because he needs to know that I'm not going to tell him. Hold on- I have an idea.

" Again, none of your business. It's only between Katniss and Johanna. Oh gosh- my head hurts really bad, I need to rest." I lied

" Okay okay, sorry. I'll go. Feel better." Gale said

" Thanks Gale. Don't go snooping! Ow- oof. It hurtssss." I said

" Fine. Bye Prim." And off he went

Nailed it.

I just hope he doesn't get his nose into everything or else everything will get bad.

KATNISS POV

We just got to Jo's room. How am I supposed to tell her all this? I shut the door behind us.

" What's up Katniss? What did you need to talk about?" she asked

She's blushing and smiling. Oh god she is so cute. I can feel myself get warm all of a sudden there are butterflies in my stomach. I was kind of relieved when Gale came in and interrupted us, but at the same time… I just want to get this over with.

"Okay… where was I? OH yes… Ummm- Johanna…" I think I'm sweating.

"Yeah? It's okay. You can talk to me about anything." She smiled and blushed as she sat down on her bed.

"Johanna… I really like you, not just in a friend way. I don't really understand these feelings yet, but I do know that I have feelings for you. You always make me smile and I don't feel the same around Gale or Peeta as I do around you." I said as I sat next to her on the bed.

"Katniss-"

" Listen please don't feel weird about it. You probably don't feel the same way towards me but I-"

"Katniss-"

" I just had the need to talk to you because… I don't know…. I needed to get it out of my system. Please don't feel weird about it-"

She put her hand on my leg, and stared deep into my eyes, and I stared right back at her. Wow she has really pretty eyes. She slowly leaned towards me and kissed me.

That really shut me up.

I kissed her back, just as passionately as she did to me. She cupped my face and kissed me one more time. We slowly broke apart and she stared at me so meaningfully.

" You have no idea how bad I wanted to do that," Johanna said " I really like you too. I want to be with you Katniss, you have no idea how much you mean to me. You make me feel the exact same way. I don't know if you are ready, but I really want you to be mine." Johanna explained

That went better than I thought.

"I want to be yours too… I just… I don't know. You mean a lot to me, more than I can express. I just need some time to think about how I will be able to do this. US. It's going to take a little bit before I'm able to come out." I said

" IT's totally fine. We can keep it on the down low for a while if you need to. I will help you every step of the way. Just let me know when you are ready to tell others about us." Johanna answered.

"So… there is an US?" I asked

" Only if you want there to be." Johanna answered

" I do, I would love that." I said.

Johanna smiled and kissed me one last time before we started to leave the room.

I'm so happy right now. I feel unstoppable.
