We're Together. Not Apart. Don't Break My Heart Like He Did

Chapter One: The Plan Has Been Changed

(Katniss's POV)

"Peeta, you-"

Then I hear a branch snapping behind me.

"Katniss, come here," Peeta says, not taking his eyes off of what is behind me.

I approach him and drop the coil and we start running back to the tree, both of us weak and tired, our legs about to give out.

The sky above us starts to rumble with thunder as we get there.

I wrap the wire around the tip of the arrow and fire at a chink in the forcefield.

Then, just as the lightning comes down, Peeta and I are thrown to the ground, bleeding heavily.

Peeta's out like a light, his face covered in drying blood and his prosthetic detached and his shoulder bent at an odd angle.

Me, on the other hand, am paralyzed, as if time stopped.

But then the explosions begin.

Then I black out.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Peeta.

He has to be alive.

I turn my head and see him laid unconscious as well, a sling around his arm, and attached to a new prosthetic.

I get up and detach myself from everything that has been attached to me and go to his side.

I take his hand and he starts stirring.

Peeta opens his eyes and smiles weakly at me. "How you feeling, baby?"

As always, he's caring about my health.

"Let's not focus on me. I want to know about how you're feeling," I say.

"Okay, I guess. If you count a pounding headache and a broken shoulder that's trying to get attention," Peeta says and scoots up.

I look around at all the equipment that my mother and Prim use all the time when they're with a patient.

"Peeta, where are we?" I ask.

He looks around as well and twitches his nose in confusion, as he always does.

"I have no idea," Peeta says and shrugs a shoulder.

Then the door opens.

I turn and see Prim standing in the doorway.

She smiles. "I was thinking you'd be awake by now."

"Where are we, Prim?" Peeta asks.

"District Thirteen. Johanna and Annie were taken to the Capitol. They saved you two, Finnick, and Beetee. No one knows where Enobaria went though-"

"My family?" Peeta asks, not being his normal patient self.

"There was a bombing. Gale brought out as many people as he could, but Madge's and your family didn't make it. I'm sorry," she answers and leaves.

Peeta hides his face in my chest and clings to me. "I'm sorry, can I be alone for a few minutes?"

I nod. "My bed is over there if you need me again."

I peck his lips and go back to my bed, pulling the curtain in between us, and almost immediately hear hysterical sobs.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
