A/N: So I just want to say this book won't have a lot of Gale and Katniss POV unless they're with Y/N so they probs won't have a lot of POV's.

Your POV:

I wake up and it's just like the morning after my engagement. A tall figure in my bed, but it's only Peeta this time. He's awake and he smiles at me, "Morning sleepy,"
"Hey it's only like ten!"
"Try half one, but okay."
We both laugh a bit until Peeta's older brother Rye walks in.
"Breaking the friend zone hey?" He chuckles making me blush. If I'm completely honest I did use to have a little bit of a crush on Rye. He was always there for me and who wouldn't want a man who looked just like a taller version of Peeta with bigger hands? It took me awhile to get over him but then I realized he was more like a brother to me. (A/N: ayo Alabama cheeeeeeck)
I tell Peeta that I'm going home and he can come if he wants and he does. We walk hand in hand towards my door.
That's when I see a peacekeeper and my stomach drops. I'm not pregnant and they're going to be able to tell!
I slow down my breathing so it doesn't look like I'm panicking. He gently squeezes my hand. "It's okay," he says quietly.
I open the door and shriek.
My house has been destroyed! There's ripped wallpaper hanging of the walls, furniture turned on it's side with huge rips in it
I turn around and see Peeta standing there a look of shock and anger in his face. "I'm going to kill whoever did this!" He growls.
I walk over to where my kitchen used to be but now it's just chunks of wood and metal. I stand by where Gale proposed to me and I gag. Blood. A big fat puddle of it leading away.
"Peeta."
He runs towards me and nearly falls over due to how quickly he stops. "What, what happened?" I shudder.
"I don't know." He squeezes my hand.
What did happen?
Did the peacekeepers find out I'm not pregnant? Was the capitol angry with me? Was it a simple break in gone bad? Where are my parents? Are they dead? Are they okay?
I find my way into my backyard and throw myself on a tree. I breath in the smell of cherry which always makes my nose itch. I pluck one from the tree and eat it.
I slide down onto the floor and close my eyes. That doesn't taste like cherry anymore, we never have had a cherry tree.
We only had a syrup tree for my brothers nightmares...

Mr big baguette's POV:

I walk outside as that's where Y/N ran to. God I hope she's ok! I don't even know what happened. I was just walking her home so she would be safe and now. Well she isn't.

Oh there she is! I run towards her my heart pounding. Why is she lying down? I run over and I can see her body leaning on a tree. Her head drooping on her shoulder.
I scoop up her limp body and carry her inside. I grab the table cloth and shake the dirt of. I lay it in the floor then I carefully place Y/N on top.
I splash cold water in her face and nothing happens.
Shit! Is she dead!
I put my ear on her chest and can still hear her breathing. Good.
I grab her shoulders and start to shake her. Y/N's head just lols around.

A/N: Skip to 2:24

"Y/N!" I yell, "Y/N wake up!" I slap her face hoping she'll wake up. God it smells in here.

It's really familiar to, really sweet, sweet like syrup. The tree! Her younger brother Axel has
nightmares all the time about the Capitol.

When he was only two his best friends didn't go to the reaping so he didn't aswell. No one could find them and people started to panic. Axel managed to run home but his friends were caught by the peacekeepers and flogged to death then their bodies where burnt in the Capitol.

Y/N must have been around the tree for to long and fallen asleep, she should be out for around fifteen minutes if not less.

I've been waiting for about half an hour but she still hasn't come around. "Y/N!" I yell, "Y/N! Y/N wake up! Please!"
I keep going between shaking and slapping her hoping that she'll finally wake up. Nothing. Nothing at all, she's still alive but she's not waking up. Her eyes closed tight, her lips slightly parted letting out little huffs of air.

CPR! It's the only thing that will get her to wake. I learnt it in school when we found out that we would have to be coal miners. I was going to carry out the family business but I still wanted to learn. Thank God!

I press my lips on hers and blow in three times. I push on her chest three times. I blow air in again three times. I press on chest three times.

She's still unconscious and there's nothing I can do. Her breathing slows down and her lips close. She's dying, she going to die!

"No," is all I can manage to muster as a single tear falls down my face.
I pick her up and hold her in my arms, her hair still as gorgeous as ever. I stroke it with my hand leaning in to kiss her forehead.

"Don't!" A voice I assume belongs to the shadow hanging over me booms.

A/N: I haven't been able to post and then I deleted this whole chapter so it's not as good as it was I'm so sorry! But yeah I'm going to go straight onto the next one hopefully bringing in more readers.
