For Better Or Worse [Everlark]

Chapter 33: Real or Not Real?

*Katniss POV*

Stupid sick hospitals. I hate them. All I see everyday are the same plain white walls. Same boring walls and stupid doctors. My doctors say that my memories still have not come back. I overheard them saying that I'm mental and they are looking for medical help for me. That just pisses me off. I'm not crazy. Just scared. Horrified maybe.

Believe me I'm trying to get back together, but the haunting memories are making this harder than ever. And to top that off, I don't even know if they are real. Everyone says that they're not but then again, who can I trust? Everyone who I think I know might be a complete stranger. They can be telling me lies.

People have been visiting me including my mom and Prim. They always look at me with pity but I don't want them to look at me like I'm an injured puppy. I know they're trying to help but it still bothers me. Prim helps me through a lot. She tells me some jokes whenever she comes and tried to at least make me smile. Right now the only thing that makes me happy is the thought of dying. I want to get out of this sick and tired life. Everyone in this hospital probably thinks I'm crazy when they can hear my terrifying screams from a mile away. My family is probably going to give up on me at some point. I have nobody at this point. I just want this nightmare to end.

"Katniss you have a visitor." One of my annoying nurses calls out. I close my eyes and groan.
"Uuugh who is it?" I rub my eyes and see that a familiar blonde headed boy is standing by my door. I come to my senses and sit up.

"Oh I-uh come in," I stutter. Why am I stuttering? I barely know this boy...or at least I think. Well I barely even know his name. Peeta Mellark. He smiles shyly. In his hands he holds a pile of flowers. Primroses to be exact. He looks down at them.

"Oh I thought you would like them...since they're your favorite." He smiles. I slightly smile back and nod.
"Um thanks." He puts them down next to the table beside my bed. Peeta sits down next to me.

"Why are you here?" I ask coldly. Peeta looks down at his hands.

"I came here to help you, you know remember things." How am I supposed to trust this guy? I hardly know him. He could be my friend or my worst enemy.

"How am I supposed to trust you? I hardly know you." He runs his hand thought his blonde curls and sighs.

"Just trust me, please. I'm here to help you not destroy you please," I give him an unsure look. He stares around the room wandering off into space until his deep blue eyes meet mine. A smile has crawled onto his face. "How about we play a game, it's called real or not real," This boy must really be out of his mind.

"Real or not real?" I chuckled. "Uh okay how do you play this game?"

"Well you and I used to do this...but you might not remember it..uh well it's simple, you ask me a question and I answer it by saying real or not real. Okay?" I nod.

"You can ask me anything." I nod again and clear my throat. I try to think of a question. Who am I kidding, I have millions of them.

"Who is Delly and why did she do this to me? She hates me because I dated you and she got jealous, real or not real? She taunted me with horrible memories and flashbacks that I don't know if I can prove right." My family told me about her hatred towards me. I put my head between my knees.

"Real. Delly used to go to the same high school as you and she also bullied you until recently. She bullied you and no one knew about it because you didn't want anyone to know. A few weeks ago we found out about this and stopped it but then this happened.." He took a deep breath and raised my head up. He grabbed my hand softly and looked straight through my eyes.

"Whatever she showed you I swear none of those memories are true, espacially if they're about me. I would never do anything to hurt you Katniss, you're my everything." I nod unsurely. I start to feel uncomfortable even though I'm having these weird feeling ever since he touched me. I let go of his hand, Peeta gives me a sad smile.

"I've know you for a long time, real or not real?"

"Real, since kindergarden. We used to be the best of friends until in 6th grade when I moved away." His voice breaks at the end. Peeta clears his throat then looks back at me.

"Um..can you do me a favor?"

"Of course, anything." I gulp trying to find a way to say the words out of my mouth.

"Can we please..just be friends? I know you and I used to...or already are dating, but I just don't feel comfor-"

"Yes, I understand." He looks down and for a second I think a tear falls down his eye. "It's okay, we can just start from the beginning." I get confused by what he means by that.

"Hi, I'm Peeta Mellark." He extends his hand towards me. I don't know what he means by this but then it finally hit me. I smile and shake it.

"Hey, I'm Katniss Everdeen."
