Peeta's POV

I then get out of my thoughts and run over to Katniss with Clay. We pick her up and Finnick is calling 9-1-1. The girls are too freaked out to do anything. They are just holding each other.

On the count of three Clay and I pick Katniss up and bring her out of the woods. When we get out there is a ambulance and the paramedics come out and take Katniss from Clay and I and put her in the truck. We then hop in with her well the rest of the group follows in their cars.

Once we get in the tuck it started moving taking us to the hospital. I look over at Clay.

"Clay what did you mean by saying that Katniss was having an 'attack'?" I ask him.

He looks up.

"Sh-she didn't tell you?" He asks me.

I shake my head no.

"Well ever since Katniss's dad died and her mom kicked her out of the house she has gotten these panic attacks. They used to happen a lot but they have been getting better. But, I have never seen a panic attack this big happening to Katniss before. She would never be able to calm down. Almost like with her nightmares she was never able to calm down  unless she was with you, remember?"

"Yeah I do." I tell him.

"I have been thinking though. If you can calm her down from her nightmares and no one can calm her down from he panic attacks maybe you can Peeta."

"Yeah, maybe I can."

"Well the only Wayne find out is if we try. So try it now." Clay tells me.

"What do I do?" I ask him.

"You do whatever you think will calm her down." He says.

I just nod and think. I walk over to Katniss who is like 2 steps away and I sit on the side of her bed.

"Hey Katniss it is Peeta." I say. She turns her head to the side so she is looking at me. Her breathing is heavy and she is shaking.

"P-Peeta." She says.

"Yeah Katniss. It is me Peeta. Now do what I do and say, okay?"

"K."

"Okay close your eyes and hold out your hand in front of you and make a first with it. Take a deep breath and let it out then open up your hand. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10." I keep counting and counting and eventually we reach the number 71 before she is fully calmed down. She is not shaking anymore and her breathing is completely normal. She opens her eyes and looks at me. I look at her and then I look over at Clay and he looks amazed and how she is calmed down. I look back at Katniss.

"Thank you Peeta." She says.

"Your welcome Katniss." I say back.

"Peeta I am really sorry. I could not be separated from Prim and my mom would not let me live with them. I should not have cut but it took away my pain. It helped. Also not eating it just..." She says but never finishes her stance about eating.

"Katniss it is okay but please promise never ever to do that again." I say.

"No promises Peeta. I will try." She tells me.

"And what where you gonna say about not eating but then you stopped your sentence." I ask.

"Nothing." She says quickly.

"Katniss tell me." I say serious.

"Well uh not eating makes me feel like I fit in." She says.

"What do you mean by it makes you feel like you fit in? Fit in to what?"I ask her confused.

"Peeta it doesn't make me feel like I am fat and I can finally fit in with society be cause I will be skinny and not fat." She says. It breaks my heart to hear Katniss talking about herself like this.

"Katniss you are not fat. How much did you weigh before you stopped eating?" I ask her.

"I weighed 135 pounds." She tells me looking ashamed.

"Katniss that is nothing. You were probably still under weight when you weighed that much. You skinny too it is not like you were fat or anything. And how much did you weigh last time you checks the scale?" I ask her.

"I weighed 115 pounds." She tells me.

"Katniss's you are too light. And that was before when you weighed yourself. When we get to the hospital they are going to have to sign you." I tell her and once I say that there is fear in her eyes.

All of the sudden the doors open and 3 paramedics are standing there with their jaws dropped.

"What?" Clay asks them.

"How did she calm down?" One of them ask.

"Well her boyfriend right here, Peeta, just calmed her down." Clay says casually.

They look very surprised.

"Wow. Well we are at the hospital so we are gonna take her out if the truck and bring her to a room and then a doctor will come in to check her health." 

  Clay and I hop out of the truck and then the paramedics gets Katniss out because she is in a bed. Once we get out of the tuck all of our friends are there behind us. The girls are still crying into the boys shoulders and everyone walks up to us
and we all stay silent. The paramedics  then roll her into a the hospital and take her to a room with Clay and I following them. The rest of the group sits in the waiting room. Once we get to the room the leave and shut the door well Clay and I take a seat next to her bed.

A couple of minutes later the doctor walks in.

"Hello I am Dr. Wirres." She says and then she takes her doctor stool and sites on it.

"Alright so why is Katniss here?" She asks.

Clay and I tell her the whole story while Katniss just sits there looking off into space.
