Stay with me? Forever or Never?(hunger games fourth book)

Chapter 22

All of them turn to me. I start taking steps forward, when one of them blocks my way.

"what are you doing?!? Move." I say and try to push past the man blocking me.

"I'm sorry Miss. Everdeen, but you have to leave the room now." The man says.

"what! why? you should be the one to move!" I shout.

"calm down. now please you have to leave." The same man says.

"why!" I shout again. I'm starting to get annoyed and mad at these people because none of them will tell me what they are doing. I have as much as a right to know as the next person. Actually I have more of a right to know. A nurse opens her mouth to speak when the door opens. I look and see my mom looking down at some papers on her clipboard.

"Mom did you know this was going to happen?!?" I ask pointing towards Peeta, the nurses and the doctor.

"Well I did just find out like five minutes ago." She says.

"And your just going to let them do this?! It's only been six days!" I shout.

"Katniss, I didn't know they were going to cut him off today." Mum walks over to the nurse at the monitor. She whispers something in her ear and the nurse nods and signals for the others to follow her. They all walk out leaving mum and i with a breathing Peeta.

"What did you say to the nurse?" I ask.

"I told her to wait till noon tomorrow like they were suppose to."

"what!" I shout once again.

"I'm sorry Katniss I couldn't get an extension it." she says sadly. I start to feel my eyes stinging and I walk over to Peeta's side. This time I don't sit in a chair, I lay beside Peeta with what room is left. I grab his hand and lightly put my head on his shoulder. "I'll be back in a bit Katniss. ok?" I nod and she leaves the room shutting the door on her way out.

"please wake up." I whisper plead into Peeta's ear. Tears slide down my cheeks as I close my eyes and slowly fall asleep.

Peeta's POV

I'v heard that if you're in a coma you can still hear everything around you. I didn't think that was true till now. I can hear everything perfect. I could hear that Annie and Haymitch have been here. I could hear that Katniss' hasn't really left my side except once or twice. I could hear her say sometimes for me to wake up. I cant just wake up when I want, I have to wait and see what happens.

Katniss' POV

"I'm sorry Miss. Everdeen, but time is up." Tears pour out of my eyes making my vision blurry. I fall to my knees and bury my head in my hands. I can hear the beep, beep, beep of the monitor turn into a complete straight beep. He's gone. He's really gone....

I jolt upwards. I look over and see Peeta still hasn't woken up. The steady beeps of the monitor make me sigh in relief. It was just a dream. one really bad dream. I lay my head back down on the bed and grab Peeta's hand again now that I realize that i have let go of it. I wonder what time it is? I hope it's not close to noon yet. I start thinking about what would happen right now if Peeta woke up, when the door opens. I hold my breath and hope it's not the doctors or nurses. I release my breath of air when I see it's just Prim. When she sees me she smiles.

"awwww, you look so cute laying there like that." she says. I roll my eyes.

"do you know what time it is?" I ask. Prim nods.

" it's a few minutes after 10:30am." I sigh it's just a bit under an hour and a half left. Prim comes over to the side of the bed and sits in the chair I sat in before. I sit up and face her.

"do you really think he will wake up?" I ask.

"yes, I do." she smiles. "now why don't you go get something to eat." she says like an order. I nod even through I don't want to leave. I get up and stretch. I walk down to the cafeteria and on my way down I see Annie and Finn heading towards Peeta's room. I order some soup and carefully carry it back to Peeta's room. When I open the door, the sight that I see makes me drop the bowl. I hear the smash of the bowl and feel the soup going around my feet but I don't care right now. In the room I see Prim on one side of Peeta's bed and on the other side is Finn, Annie and....and..... Finnick.

"b-but h-how?" I stutter.

"what no 'hi friend who I thought was dead and was never going to see again?" Finnick asks. I shake my head.

"how are you alive?!?!" I ask.

"sit down and I will tell you." he says. I walk over and sit on the end of Peeta's bed. "ok, well when you thought I died because of those mutts, I actually did survive."

"but...how?" I ask.

"the mutts weren't actually eating me alive. they were just giving the illusion that they were."

"when I look back at you though you weren't there."

"the ground opened up and I fell into this room."

"when did you get out of the room?" Annie asks.

"about two days later. I figured out that I was in District 7."

"so why didn't you come back here a long time ago?" I ask.

"I'm Finnick. I come when something bad happens to make everything better with my sexiness." Annie and me both roll our eyes and then I think of something.

"Finnick, do you know what time you got here?" I ask.

"seven o'clock yesterday. why?" he asks. Annie gasps. "what?"

"Finn kept going to the door everyday at seven to see when you were coming home." Annie explains. I look at Finn and see he's asleep on Annie's lap.

"well he's a smart kid." Finnick laughs. Finnick looks over my shoulder. "hey Prim, come over here." Prims walks over and stands at my side.

"hi Finnick." she says.

"well, you don't look like Katniss' little sister anymore." "got a boyfriend?" he smirks. Prim shakes her head. "oh common your... how old are you?"

"17 almost 18."

"that's old enough to have a boyfriend. isn't it Katniss?" he asks me.

"well I pretty much had one before then even if it was fake at the time. so yes." I respond. We talk for a while about things that Finnick missed over the years.

"Katniss." Prim says after awhile.

"yeah?" I ask.

"it's 11:54." she says. WHAT! I look over at Peeta and see he's still asleep.

"NO!" I shout. Finnick and Annie look at me confused. Prim starts to tell them whats it's about.

"oh Katniss. I'm sorry." Annie says sadly. The door opens. It's not noon yet!

"Katniss." I sigh it's just mum.

"yeah?"

"there's only three more minutes then they will be up here." she says. I get up and walk to the front of then bed. I look at Peeta's face. Maybe I will never get to see his ocean blue eyes again, or hear his voice or laugh again and never see him smile again.

"one minutes left." Prim says. Tears fall down my face and my vision get blurry. I blink and my vision becomes clear again. The door opens and I look at see who it is. A nurse and doctor come in.

"no! please just a few more minutes." I plead.

"I'm sorry but it's noon and we can't wait longer." The nurse says. "could all of you please leave." I shake my head. I feel something touch my hand and I jump. I turn back to Peeta. Ocean blue.

I would have updated yesterday but I was busier than I thought I was. Also yay it's March break!!
