*KATNISS POV*
I hear sirens. Im tied to machines. I open my eyes a bit. My eyesight is blurry. I can't see anything so i shut my eyes. I hear instinct shouting. It sounds familiar. Its coming from Peeta. I can see him a bit. Hes telling me to stay brave and hold on. He's holding my hand really tight. Just then some adults start telling Peeta to leave. Peeta resists but he goes anyways. He kisses my forehead. I shut my eyes.

*PEETA POV*
I first opened the door to the bathroom. That's when i found Katniss on the floor, lifeless it seemed. She was bleeding all over, cuts all over her body, glass and blood on the floor, it was horrible to see.

I took her to the hospital and now here i am, pacing in the waiting room, waiting to hear some news about her. Yet, still no news. This is all my fault. If i haven't yelled at her so rudely, maybe she would be okay. I yelled her so many bad stuff. I made her cry. I promised her that never ever would i hurt her. I broke that promise. I will never make it up to myself if she is hurt. Just then a doctor comes in.

"Katniss Everdeen?" I stand up to my feet. "Are you a family member?" He asks.
"Yeah, im her husband," I lie.
"Okay, Katniss is in a serious coma and it doesn't look like she will wake up anytime soon, so she's gonna be here for a while." He says. My stomach drops to what i just heard right now. I feel like someone just tore a piece of me out.

"No...is there any chance that i can see her?" I ask.
"Hmmm, well yes but only for a short time." He takes me too a room where i see her. The doctor leaves.

I see her lying on the bed. Pale, but still color rushing through her cheeks. Her hair, a mixture of different shades of brown shining through the sunlight that comes from the window. She lies there still, lifeless it seems. Everyone in this hospital is here for a reason, a bad reason. In my case, Katniss is here because of me. I put her through a lot and bullies took over her.

This is all my fault. This all started because of me.

"Katniss, Im sorry. I'm sorry for causing all this. I'm sorry for not being there when you needed me the most. I'm sorry for putting you through all this when really the one who should be in this stupid bed is me. If i hadn't just been too hard on you, maybe you would still be awake. I don't even know if you're gonna wake up and.........ugh i just dont know what i would do without you in my life. You are the most beautiful girl i have ever met. You're different from other girls. You have your own sense of style, you dont like glamorous jewelry or clothing, you are very a people person, and that's what makes you unique. You make me smile and laugh every single day. You always find a way to make me the happiest man alive and you have accomplished that. That's what makes me love you more each and everyday. I just don't know what i would do without you Katniss." I am now shed in tears. The doctor comes in and tells me that i should go. I kiss Katniss on her forehead and head out the door.
