The wrong lover

Chapter 13

The song is to represent what Peeta is feeling seeing his loved one hit the ground dead, wanting her back in his arms. I heard the song one time and I immediatly thought of this scenario. So there you go. (The song is in Peeta's PoV). Mostly of the sing fits into the story.

- Peeta's PoV -

She got shot, she got shot, she got shot. I can't stop thinking about it. I made her get shot, she wouldn't have told us that if it didn't show my message. Everybody is panicking because of the bombsignal but I just want to stay here, seeing my loved one for the last time. The interview is still on. I'm hearing gunshots that weren't shooting Katniss, I don't understand what is going on.

I decide not to watch anymore and I run to the hospital to see if I can get a hold of Prim and Lillian. I get there and then I see Snow on a TV, he just came on.

- I am here to tell you guys some awful news about what happened to Katniss in the interview. It was a rebel that came past by security and shot miss Everdeen six times in different places. First the head, then the stomach, arms, legs. She unfortuantly passed away from the attack, our guards shot down the rebel in panic seeing our star lie on the ground. That's all the news we have right now. Snow says and something feels wrong.

A rebel wouldn't go and shoot her even because of all the things she said. Prim meets me in the lobby and she grabs me, I'm fully frozen in place.

- Go Peeta! We have to go to the bunker! Prim yells and I finally unfreeze.

We run towards the stairs and a bit down we see Gale and Lillian running. Me and Prim are the last on the stairs a lot further back then the other last. We might not make it in time.

We run so fast that a single wrong step will cause us to fall down the stairs. I see what Prim is holding and I see it's a photo of Katniss and I almost begin crying seeing her again. I won't see her on TV anymore, I won't be able to hold her or see her laughr or smile. She is gone, forever.

As I get closer to the bottom I hear a bomb falling and I duck in panic that it's going to hit us. I stand up later on and water comes falling down my face. I keep running down and as I get on the last step I fall and hit my head. The door is about to close but all I see is darkness. I feel Prim trying to pull me in and that's when I snap back. The door is just about to close and I push Prim in. I make a run for it and I make it just in time. I hold Prim tight in a hug thanking her for trying to save me.

- Thank you Prim. I say to her.

- With Katniss gone you're the only one I have left, all except for my mother and Gale. You're the only one that understands me. Prim says.

- I bet your mother misses her as much as we do. I say to her.

- She does, but she refuses to talk about it. Prim says to me.

We stop hugging to go and find our bunk beds. As I walk towards mine I see a familiar face that I haven't seen in awhile. Delly Cartwright, my bestfriend in district 12. I walk up to her seeing her all alone just staring straight forward. 

- Hey Delly. I say and she jumps up as I just scared her.

- Hey. She says back.

- Sorry for scaring you. I say.

- It's okay. I heard about the propos you do and how you fire up the rebellion. She says and looks at me. I take a seat next to her on the same bed.

- I only do it so Coin will save Katniss from that hell hole, but I guess it's no point anymore. I say smiling at her, she smiles back.

- I didn't see the interview, what happened? She asks me.

- Well, We showed the message I made for her. Her eyes were firstly black but when the message was shown it was like her eyes became grey again. She warned us about the bombing that just happened which ended up in probably everybodys survival. She got shot on TV six times on what says to be a rebel but I believe it's Snow. In the head, stomach, arms and legs. I say to her and my smile fades away but hers stay on.

- I'm sorry Peeta. She says smiling and it gives me weird vibes. Why would she smile if she was happy that Katniss was gone.

- Why are you still smiling? I ask her.

- Well there are always other fish in the sea. Delly says to me and she goes in for a kiss. I pull away and I stand up immediatly.

- I can't do this, my heart belongs to Katniss even if she may not survive that. I say to her. Now her smile fades away.

- You have to move on, just give me a chance. Delly says to me.

- No, I will die a widower. I will never forget and move on from my true love. I'm sorry. I say to Delly before beginning to make my way to my bunkbed.

During our conversation it felt like the bombing had stop but as I walk a big bomb hits the ceiling and all the lights go out. People start lighting their lanterns and it helps me find my way to my bunkbed. I get there and I light my lantern, I lie down thinking about everything that just happened. I never knew Delly was interested in me but I still want my heart to belong to Katniss if she can survive that. I fall asleep thinking about her, the good memories.
