Hunger Games High

Chapter 25:Peeta POV

I run into Gale's house and up the steps to Katniss's room.She lays there,struggling to breathe and unconscious.

"Fuck."I say as I try to pick her up.I run her downstairs and put her in the back of my car.I drive to the hospital,going about 30 miles over the speed limit.

I am kind of hoping a cop will stop me so I don't have to shit my pants out of fright.But then again,hey.Nothing like a heart attack at 7:00 at night.

I pull in the parking lot and throw Katniss over my back.I half run/gallop into the hospital doors marked EMERGENCY.The lady at the front desk asks what's wrong."Unconscious due to shortened breathing."I say.

She calls for a stretcher and they take my lovely Katniss away.I sit on a old plastic chair in the waiting room and see Gale on the other side.He invites himself over."Why are you here?"I ask. "Posy had a fever."screw him.

"What did you do to Katniss?"he asks. "Bitch,please.I didn't do anything.I found her at your house like that."

"Faggot,you did it."he says then walks away and plops down next to some girl. Emma,I think it is.She is pretty hot,but she's no Katniss.Red straight hair,frekles,a bright smile,all the right curves in all the right places.But I like Katniss with all her perfect imperfections.

I look over at Gale and find him making out with Emma.The nurse at the front desk comes over to them. "Sorry sir,no kissing here due to spreading disease."she says,shakes her head,then wobbles back to her desk.

I laugh and Gale's face turns red,but hey,yolo.A doctor comes out and walks to me."Young man,I believe you are here for Miss.Everdeen,and you may see her."he says.I get up and follow him.

He leads me to a room,and there is Katniss,laying lifeless on a bed.But she is still breathing,her chest is moving up and down,but it's a little slow.I sit in the chair beside her head at play with her hair.

I doze off in that chair.My dreams are full of Katniss dying.And in these dreams,or my old ones at least,I could change it to something better.But these I couldn't shake from my head.
