I feel a pulse in my head. Pounding. I feel dizzy as I sit up. What's wrong with me? I feel as if i've been drugged. It can't be dehydration, I drunk so much water yesterday. Then I realise. Water. Not dehydration, but dirty water. I may have caught a disease by drinking so much dirty water. There are many diseases caused by the consumption of dirty water, but I don't know what type I may have.
I shake Peeta awake.
"Peeta," I shake him, he stirs, "Peeta."
"Hmm?"
"Peeta, I'm not feeling too great."
"What? Why? What's wrong?" He sits up, confused and worried.
"I don't know, I think it could have been that dirty water I drank yesterday."
"Oh no. What are we-" Before he finishes, I throw up over him.
"Oh my God, Peeta, I'm so-" But I throw up again.
I turn away and carry on wretching on the floor. I have a suspicion I have Cholera, a disease which causes you to vomit and have diarrhoea. Luckly, I haven't had the pleasure of uncontrollably defecating yet. My mother and I used to deal with some people who suffered with Cholera. It sometimes passes after a day or two, but sometimes, our patients would die from it. The idea of this scares me. Dying of an overactive bowel doesn't sound very pleasant.
To my surprise, instead of helping me, Peeta looks up to the sky and starts talking.
"Come on Haymitch. You can't let her die. You need to help her. Please give her something to make her better. She can't die, not now."
"Peeta, He's not gonna help me," I vomit again, "He knows i'll die. Even if I do get medicine, something else will come up that i'll need help with."
We here a cannon.
"That'll be me soon, Peeta." I tell him.
"Don't say that!" He shouts.
"It's true! Everyone knows it!" I shout back.
We fall silent.
"Look, Prim, I'm going to do everything I can to help you. I'll protect you no matter what."
I smile at him, "Katniss better love you for this."
He laughs, "I hope so."
His smile is quickly wiped away as I throw up again.
"You're going to be okay." He reasures me.
I nod, but I don't believe him.
