Our Life After

So What Really Happened?

*Peeta's POV*

Finnick sleeps for a few days, but the doctor assures us that it's normal, and his body is just resting so it can heal itself faster. Katniss and I have a good time, and even though we have Annie on speed dial, Katniss does a poor job hiding here worry.

"Katniss, Finnick is fine. Annie is by his side 24/7 (literally she hasn't left for 4 days) and if something was to go wrong, he has doctors literally all around him."

"I know. But aren't you a little worried?" She asks.

"Of course! Finnick was a great friend of mine, and he helped me through one of the hardest times in my life." I said, implying my hijacked times. "We can go see him if you want."

Right then, as if on cue, my phone rings and its Annie.

"Hello? Is everything alright?" I ask.

"He's awake" is ask she says before I hang up.

"He's awake. Let's go." I say to Katniss, and she grabs my hand and we run to the car and get to the hospital ASAP.

When we arrive, Gale, Johanna, Annie, Beetee, Haymitch, and some people who must've known Finnick from District 4 are there. I feel bad, because I forgot to call Haymitch, but he's here so I don't let it bother me too much. Katniss and I walk in and sit down, and we've finally gotten a slightly larger room, so we fit a little more comfortably.

Annie starts speaking. "So Finnick can talk, and I've asked him and he agreed to tell us what happened on that day."

We all turn our attention to Finnick, who starts slowly.

"I was in the sewer, right behind Gale and Katniss. They both got out, and I was right behind them when I felt the lizards come up behind me."

Katniss shivers next to me at the thought. I think probably everyone noticed, but no one says anything because everyone wants to know what happened down in that sewer, including me.

"Gale shouted something to Katniss, and I couldn't hear it exactly, but I think he thought I wasn't coming. I agreed so I didn't yell anything back. I really accepted that these lizards were gonna eat me alive, and yeah that was a horrible way to die, but I didn't want them to die because they came back for a lost cause. So one lizard was ready to bite my head off, and it opened it's mouth and reared it's head back, and I thought that would be it. But then I saw something flash in the corner of my eye, and Katniss was yelling about nightlock, and I knew it was the holo. It landed straight in the lizard's mouth and exploded it and the others around me, also took out a pretty big hunk of my shoulder and broke my arm and a few ribs."

He stops and uses his non broken arm to point to the broken parts of him. I didn't notice how extremely bandaged up he was until he was sitting up and I could see a lot more of him.

"It also got a pretty good piece out of my neck on its way down. A few lizards around me were still alive, so I climbed into a little hole in the side of the tunnel until they'd all past. I've lived down there for a year, feasting on sewer rats and collecting scraps to bandage my shoulder, and somehow miraculously not bleeding to death. I was lucky to have found my way out on a day when there were lots of people to take care of me all around."

By then I was crying, and so was pretty much everyone else except Haymitch. Annie is in the bed with Finnick, just snuggled up next to him on the outside of the sheets. I was really glad Finnick was alive, and I could see relief in Katniss's eyes that she hadn't killed him. We were all back together, one big, kinda screwed up but loving family.
