Katniss's pov

My eyelashes flutter open and a yawn escapes my throat as I awaken. Sleepy, I roll over, nearly jumping out of my skin when my face is met with a blonde haired boys.

Sitting up in the hospital bed I can see that he had fallen asleep in the chair beside me, resting his head on the corner of my bed. I awkwardly sit up in bed, not sure what to do about him sleeping on my bed like this.

Im not sure if it was my stomach grumbling or my movement on the bed that woke him up so suddenly. I stare at him as he slowly sits up, stretching out his obviously sore back.

"Why did you stay here all night?" I suddenly blurt out, the curiosity getting the best of me.

Still half asleep I can see him trying to process the question.

"Katniss I could never leave you here alone" he says, his morning voice still groggy.

The words float out of his mouth so naturally it scares me.

Instead of conjuring up something to say back, I just turn away, the pale yellow wall suddenly less awkward then the boy behind me.

Without warning, the door swoops open and in walks the doctor.

"Good news Katniss, you can go home today".

I blankly blink at the man.

"Am I supposed to be happy? Thats hardly good news. This uncomfortable hospital bed is more familiar then wherever I live right now". I say, avoiding eye contact.

I can tell the doctor is trying to find words.

"Well, uh, your memory will return eventually Katniss. We decided that going home will hopefully help trigger some of your memories" he says with a forced and cheeky smile.

My silence is a good enough response for him and the doctor strides out of the room.

"Where do I live?"

The words come out more naturally then expected.

"Uh, the Seam" the boy, Peeta, says with a hint of a smile.

"Doesn't ring a bell" I shrug.

After a bit of waiting around, Peeta trying to make small talk, me shutting it down every time, the doctor walks in with some papers.

"Okay Katniss, just sign on those lines, and you're free to go"

He says it so casually it hurts. As if when I walk out of this building everything will go back to normal.

Instead of saying something of the sorts back, I grab the papers and quickly scribble down Katniss Everdeen.

He gives a nod of thanks and places a stack of what looks like clothes on the end of my bed.

"A girl by the name of Annie dropped these off for you to wear home, said you can keep them".

"Thanks" I state coldly. I slowly stand up, grabbing the clothes before making my way to the bathroom.

While in there, I find a toothbrush and hairbrush. I give a thankful sign before changing and getting ready.

Looking up at myself in the mirror after changing almost makes me laugh. This is so not something I would ever wear. White tight jeans a pink tank top, a grayish scarf, sparkly high heels and enough jewelry for an Entire fashion show hangs and huggs my body. I ditch the uncomfortable shoes, the flashy jewelry, and cover the pink shirt with a dark jacket.

I slip my feet into the hospital slippers and swing the bathroom door open. A toothy smile sneaks onto Peetas face as I walk out.

"You ready?" The blonde asks.
