Hope. Powerful four lettered word that people take for granted these days as in I hope Justin Bieber comes to Panam for a concert or I hope I get good grades just so I can get out of high school, when there's people like me, hopping that my babies are going to live who are doing even worse, hopping that my fiancé wakes up and we can be happily married, we gotta wake up cause this is reality, this is where hope gets you, like in all cliche movies they say life is a roller coaster and to not be afraid isn't living it, everyone has their good times and bad times on roller coasters and that's the same with life.

Life. Also powerful word and also something people take for granted, slacking on jobs when there are homeless people living on the streets who has no home, no fresh clothes or food, get looked down as pathetic by some, what everyone doesn't know is that their the heroes of the world, they hang in there, their always strong, people turn on one another every single day when yet again there is people like me, struggling to keep up with every ticking minute in a day, who just sit in a hospital chair, waiting for a glimpse of movement for their partner to move, both hope and life are roller coasters, if your on a scary one, you hope that you have a good time and life you've got good and bad things that'll happen, the roller coaster could probably go too fast or you vomit on the person next to you or you can throw your arms up screaming with joy of how much fun your having but right now, my roller coaster just keeps going down and I'm hoping for it to come up.

"Come on dude, go home and get some sleep" Finnick says and I shake my head while I lean against the wall, arms folded looking at Katniss

"I can't, I can't leave her" I say and Annie sighs

"Peeta, she's going to be right here, Finnick and I will be right here and call you if anything happens" Annie calmly says and I sigh

"If you don't call me if something happens with Katniss or the triplets then I will never trust you two again" I say and they nod, I walk out of the hospital to my car and sit there, after a moment of thinking I start the car, driving home.

I get out of the car, locking the car and walking up the porch and unlocking the front door and walking inside, I walk upstairs to a room which has M&J&B, I twist the door nob and walking inside, one crib big enough for all three, empty photo frames above the draws, I sadly smile, imagining, my children, peacefully asleep in there cribs, I get a sense of happiness for literally one second and then it's gone, I wish this didn't happen to me, this isn't fair! What did I ever do?! What has Katniss done to deserve this pain?! I just don't get it, I walk out of the nursery and go downstairs, walking in the kitchen I see the pot on the stove I walk to it, ew, it's all mouldy and disgusting, I chuck out the stuff from inside the pan and clean it, I heat up a microwaved Mac n cheese seeing as I'm not that hungry, I look at the clock 12:30 am, I decide to just sleep on the couch seeing as the bedroom brings memories of that one night.

I didn't notice I slept in till Malcolm came and sat on my face and meowing till I woke up, it's 12:12 pm, I sit up, doing Malcolm's bowls and I get dressed quickly after having a quick shower, I lock the house, unlock my car, get in and drive towards the hospital.

"Any improvements?" I ask walking in and Annie and Finnick sigh shaking their heads and I sigh, taking my normal seat next to Katniss's bed and taking her hand in mine

"Hey Peet, we're just going to go and get some Burger King, want anything?" Annie says

"The usual" I say not taking my eyes off of Katniss and they sigh and walk out

"Come on baby, I can't do this without you" I whisper

"Nothing will ever be good again if you leave me, please, I'm begging you, wake up" I say, my voice cracking, I lean down and kiss her still soft lips and I literally jump away, there staring right at me are the beautiful grey eyes I've been longing to see for six weeks.
