After Mockingjay: I Need You

Chapter 13

Katniss's POV

It's dawn and today is the day we discuss how we will free Peeta from the torture place aka the Capitol. I am rocking back and forth in my bed. Sheets slipping and sliding off my mattress. I can't sleep without comforting arms. Specialty strong arms.. that belong to none other than Peeta Mellark.

I keep tossing and turning, I just can't do it. I look at the time and it's only 6:00am. I still have 3 hours to go. I begin to close my eyes.

I wake up, It feels like hours of moving trying to get a wink's worth of rest. I turn to see it's only.. 6:01am. Really. Ugh. I just might have to stay awake. I lay on my back, groaning about the uncomfortable position. I look up at the dark ceiling.

"It's so blank." I whisper to myself, I lay my head back, my eyes looking directly at the headboard.

"What am I going to do, huh."

I just sigh, thinking of everything. My dad always told me when I couldn't sleep to think of happy thoughts, mainly aiming toward my future. I always thought of the next day I'd get to visit the lake with him. The misty air circling our beings. The smell of pine and fish floating around, even being dragged back with me to home. My mama always hated the fishy smell, dad always brought back with him. We always giggled in the lake, swimming around eachother, fish nibbling at our toes. I never passed down a day with dad at the lake or the meadow. He always understood what I was thinking, even before I understood.

Now I am thinking of the future, the future of my past future. My Past was a lot better than this. I am now thinking of what I want my future now to be like.

I wake up, "Peeta Natalie where are you!" I laugh, it's 8am. My girl must be awake. I walk down the stairs, and Haymitch is sitting in the dark.

"Where's Peeta and Natalie?"

"Peeta is still in the Capitol and Who's Natalie?!"

I look down and my stomach is flat. I should have known, it was a dream. Even though I am not wanting kids, in a way I want them but I just can't. It doesn't make sense but yeah. I just begin to let my emotion come through as I cry.

"I just want Peeta!"

"I know, everyone is coming soon to discuss." Haymitch rubs my back.

This will be a rough day.
