"Well, you didn't break your wrist. But you did sprain it" a nurse tells me and I nod. She wraps it up and gives me an ice pack.

"Just be careful" she tells me as I leave the office. I walk over to Finnick who was waiting for me.

"She said I sprained it. But besides that, I'm good" I say and he nods. I look at his neck and I see a red hand mark.

"Did he cause that?" I ask and he just nods. I hug him and he wraps his longs arm around me.

"I'm sorry" I say and he just kisses my head.

"Its not your fault" he reasures me. I just want to stay in Finnicks arms froever but I can't.

"FINNICK!" someone screams and we turn around to see Katniss. I just smile and she runs and runs to us.

"What's wrong?!" He asks and she gasps for words.

"They...Peeta... Kill.... Too much." She manages and I stand there for a second before it hits me what she said.

"That can't kill Peeta! We just saved him!" I yell and she takes my hand.

"They're going to take you and Johanna too. They think that your hi-jacked but are hiding it" She tells us her voice barely a whisper.

"No!" Finnick yells and I just stand there.

"But I never got injected. Johanna always made sure I never got the shot. She always got it for me" I say and I look up at Finnick. He was just standing there.

"You told her to protect me?" I ask and he nods.

"Arias we need to get you out of here" Katniss starts and I see Gale. He was coming towards us and Katniss pushes me behind her.

"Please" she begs and he just looks at me. Finnick had his arms wrapped around ms too.

"We need to get it over with Katniss. We need to be safe" he says and I bite my lip.

"But I never was injected" I state and Gale looks at me.

"How?"

"Johanna took it for me. She didn't want me to get hurt" I say and then I cover my mouth. I just told them that she may be hi-jacked.

"Well then I need to find Johanna" he tells us but I scream. I hope Johanna remembers what we talked about. When one of us screams it means somethings bad. We didn't trust the whole idea of District 13.

Gale runs down the hall and I chase after him. He turned corners but I stayed on his trail. I see Johanna sitting in a corner, a book in her hand,using it as defense. She saw me and her eyes begged me to help. I slowly crept up in Gale and I tackled him,wrapping my arms around his neck. He struggled to get me off and Johanna ran out of the room. Gale got me off and throw me on the floor. He just growled and took off in her direction.

"GALE! STOP IT!" I scream but he doesn't listen. We are in the boiler room when I catch a glimpse is Johannas head. Gale cocked his gun and I kicked him. He groaned and he just pushed me against the wall.

"I will get rid of you" he mutters and I just stand there crying. He puts an arm out to stop me from running anddturns around. He aim his gun at Johanna who thought she was hidden. But you could see her head. I watched in horror and tried to scream but Gale covered my mouth. I was screaming and crying and fighting. He cocked his gun and shot. He dropped me and I sat there sobbing.

"NO!" I scream and crawl over. I hold her body in my arms and check her pulse. Nothing. She was gone. I lost her. And it was all my fault.

My best friend is dead and its all my fault.
