PEETAS POV

it's been 23 days now since the accident. 23 days since Katniss was put in a coma, completely unaware of the death of her family. It's been 23 days since I have spoken to anyone except Katniss.

Everyday I have been sat by her bed, speaking to her and holding her hand. I haven't left once to shower and my father brings me food but I don't eat it.

My leg is still broken and I still need crutches but no news will ever be as terrible as the one I heard today. They want to cut her off. They want to kill my sunshine.

Of course I put up a fight. told them no but they insist. Today will be the last few moments I get to see of her face.

I walk up to the door of her hospital room and stop. I take a deep breath as my father pats me on the back and opens the door. I walk in slowly and wait as my father shuts the door behind me. once I know it's just us I walk to her bed side and take a hold of her hand.

"Katniss, I know this is a long shot but I know you can hear me. Just please. Do whatever you can just please wake up. You can't leave me here alone. I know there might not be much left for you but you have to know that I will always be here for you if you just wake up. please" I feel tears drip down my face as the impossible happens.

KATNISS POV

" Katniss, I know this is a long shot but I know you can hear me. Just please. Do whatever you can just please wake up. You can't leave me here alone. I know there might not be much left for you but you have to know that I will always be here for you if you just wake up. please"

what does he mean, there isn't much left for me?Surely when I wake Up Prim will be right at my side, with my parents both standing with tears in their eyes at my bedside. I begin to hear him crying again and I decided I can't take it anymore. I try and move anything on my body that I can and begin to get a tingling feeling in my right hand. It begins to heavy and suddenly I can feel Peeta's heavy hand around mine.

The tingling feeling spreads across my whole body and finally after 23 days I can feel something again.

I move my attention back to the hand that Peeta is holding and begin to try and move my fingers. I feel them jerk beneath the pressure I am holding on them and Peeta's sobs stop.

"Katniss?" he whispers. I try to reply to him but all that I manage to speak is a barely audible groan.

I hear Peeta hit the nurses button and the heavy feeling that once took over my eyelids is replaced with a light feeling. I open them slowly and everything is hazy at first until Peetas mess if blonde hair and ice blue eyes come into focus. Before he can speak the nurses come into the room and stop when they see me awake and well....moving.

They check me over and run a bunch if tests before deeming me well again but they still insist I stay or another 2 days. They exit the room leaving just me and Peeta.

"What happend?" I ask Peeta, the memory of why I am here hazy in my mind. I watch as he gulps before opening his mouth to speak.

"Well, there was a crash on our way to district 8 and a lorry came and hit our side of the car. I broke my leg and you fell into a coma but" he pauses as fresh tears fill his eyes.

"But your family...they didn't make it. They all died on the site of the crash....your mum,dad and Prim. There gone Katniss." he finishes holding back his tears so he can stay strong for me.

Mum. Gone. Dad. Gone. Prim. Gone. My mind begins to process what news Peeta has given to me and I can't do it. I lay in my hospital bed with tears pouring out of my eyes. I opens arms and Peeta joins me on the bed. I sob into his chest whilst he strokes me hair and releases silent tears of his own. We stay like this for hours at least until I snap out of my ready daze and look up at Peeta.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry how is your leg!" I remember. I was so wrapped up in my own problems I forgot to think of how Peeta has been and how his leg is.

"It's broken but healing" he says with a heavy sigh.

"Where is everyone?" I ask wondering about Finnick and Annie and the rest of the group.

"They are back in Panem Kat, your in a district 9 hospital right now"

"Oh....right" I say slightly disappointed with the fact that I am stuck in this hospital for another 2 days and I can't see. Any of my friends. I'm still glad I have peeta.
