Chapter 17: Strange heart

Chapter 17

Katniss P.O.V.

I open my eyes. The blackness that were surrounding me, disappears and I'm looking into a white room.

Where the heck am I? In the hospital? Again?

And then I hear the heart monitor. The beeping and beeping. Yup. I'm I'm a hospital.

I sigh.

I hear the door open and I quickly close my eyes. I don't want anyone to know that I'm awake yet. I don't even know how long I've been unconscious.

I hear voices.

"We all heard you Peeta, you said it, we were all behind you, so don't try to deny it!" Clove says.

What did Peeta say?

"Yeah even Katniss heard you! You saw her face just before she blacked out!" Annie says.

Wait. I heard what he said? How come I don't remember what he said? Because I really don't.

"She might not even remember", Peeta mumbles quietly.

"But if she does, you don't deny it anymore", Finnick says.

"And if she doesn't, we never speak of this ever again", Peeta says irritated.

"Deal", Cato says.

"Good, 'cause the doctor told me that she won't remember anything from the few minutes before she blacked out, not even what happened", Peeta says.

"You jerk, you fooled us!" Glimmer says angrily.

"Yeah I did, now get over it", Peeta says. "I had to".

He had to get over what? Okay now I'm really confused.

I can smell Peeta. He smells like cinnamon and vanilla, but I can also smell some dill.

The smell comes closer. I can smell the others as well, of course they comes closer as well, but I think I smell Peeta closer then the others.

I feel someone strokes my hand back. I think it's Peeta. I don't know how. I haven't hold his hand since we were kids, but somehow, I maybe remember what his hand feels like.

I feel my heart start to beat really fast and hard in my chest.

I shouldn't have these feelings for Peeta. It's dangerous. I know he that he does not feel the same way. In fact he hates me. Yes he saved my life, but that just proves he's a good person not that he likes me. And I think he did it for Clove, she was a total wreck, and they're great friends.

And if I like Peeta, I will most certainly be hurt. And I don't want that. Especially not now when things are as they are in school and I feel suicidal. Because I do. I really do. Is ... Is that why I'm here right now?

I feel the hand that strokes mine, take my hand in his now.

Peeta I think.

My heart starts to beat even faster. It's like it's trying to jump out of my chest. I swear that they can see my heart trying to get out.

It's really quiet.

"Look at her heartbeat", Annie mumbles.

"Oh god!" Clove says louder.

Then we all hear the heart monitor, as it shows my curves, it beeps. At first it sounded fine, my heart was in a good rhythm. Now on the other hand... Well it sounds like a mix of a baby's and a dogs heart. Their hearts beats really fast. My heart is really ... Well not in sync with my body right now.
