the hunger games love story (Merome fan fiction <3) COMPLETED!!

chapter twenty-three: Going home

Jerome's pov ( it's been about two days)

I sat next to Mitch's bed while he was sleeping. I barely ever left Mitch's side sense he woke up. I was just too scared of losing him again. I heard the bed move and Mitch groan and immediately knew that he was waking up. I looked in his direction and was met with Mitch's beautiful brow eyes staring at me. He noticed me staring back at him and looked away blushing. I got up a crouched down next to his bed, so I was eye level with him. " Morning benja, how'd ya sleep?" I said while resting my hand on top of his. He looked into my eyes for a second but then leaned in and kissed me. He pulled away and chuckled a little bit. "I think you get the idea." He said in a soft tone. A knock was heard from the door and it made us both jump. I walked over to it and opened it. A nurse was standing there with a huge smile on her face. "Oh, hello! I just came to tell you guys something exciting!" She said in a peppy tone. I stepped away from the door and let her in. She walked in and stood at the foot of Mitch's bed. "Well I just wanted to say that Mitch can go home today! Just get changed and go out to the front desk. Oh, but you have to use these for a couple of days." She said while handing me a pair of crutches for Mitch. She left the room and closed the door behind her, looking less happy than she usually was. Mitch's face looked like a five year old who just got told that they were going to Disney land. Mitch got to the edge of the bed, wanting to get out of this hospital. He tried to stand up but landed on the ground, flat on his butt ( i'm sorry, but i'm very immature... BUTT XD HAAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!). I immediately git down to help him up and picked him up off the floor bridal style. I put him back on the edge of his bed. " You do know that you need to change, right?" I asked with a smirk on my face. He looked down and rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Could you turn around please? It's embarrassing." He asked in a innocent and adorable voice. I looked at him and rolled my eyes, turning around. I heard ruffling around and then he said " Ok, you can turn around now." I turned back around and saw him staring at me with a innocent grin on his face. He put his arms up signalling he wanted me to carry him. I sighed and picked him up delicately. I sat him in the chair and handed him his crutches. He grabbed them and adjusted them under his arms. He stood up and walked around the room with his crutches. " Come on, don't you want to actually get out of this place, or would you rather stay here?" I questioned with an evil grin on my face. "Ok ok, I'm coming. He said as he wobbled his way over too me. I opened the door and held it open for the crippled Mitch. I went to the front desk with Mitch and I had to sigh a bunch of stuff. We walked out the door of the hospital and walked to my car with the one I love. I opened the passenger side door and helped Mitch get in. I got into the drivers side and started driving to my house, which was two hours away.
