Hunger Games: Under The Willow

The Hospital

I'm the only noise and that noise is pain. I didn't know pain had a sound until I made it. Weeping, Screaming, Crying, Yelling, all while I look over the unmoving body of Austin. His gut is bleeding at a unnerving pace and the blood seeping through his white shirt is mixed with my tears. My Mom makes a groaning noise and calls to my Dad, whom when snapped out of the trance was devastated over his actions, "Peeta, the baby." The ambulance arrives picking up the stiff body of Austin and my mom in labor. I cry the whole ride and am unaware of my movement, I crawl in the corner of the ambulance in a locked curl position. I feel like my aunt, zoned out, not able to think, just cry.

My dad comes and tries to comfort me, "I'm so sorry. I didn't have control, I-I -I know your not a - a mutt." I don't answer just cry letting my emotions take over. The nurse comes over, "Ma'am", she says to me, "We need you to exit the ambulance." I don't move, they pick me up and put me into a wheelchair, pushing me into my own room. Three people I know are now hospitalized, Austin because..., My mom in labor, and me... They say I am in a traumatic state and need taken care of. My news is told by my Aunt whom is watching me as the doctor gets my dinner, "Willow", she starts, "Austin's alive but he's in surgery... We don't know if he'll be alive for long..." I start sobbing again I didn't know it was possible to cry so much in under five hours.

Annie stands up and looks at me, "Stop!", she says to me, "Don't lock yourself up and shut yourself out. I did we my love of my life died and that's my worst regret! If I convinced you, you should well... I'm sorry." She sighs and walks out of the room leaving me there thinking about everything, The baby, my dad, and Austin... I start to cry and stop myself listening to her words. I breath heavily and stare at the wall, "He's alive" I grab my slippers and my robe then, dash out of my hospital room.
