I laid asleep in a hospital bed.
I opened my eyes.
I tried to sit up.
I groaned.
"Hey. I need you to lay back." A nurse told me.
I laid back.
"You're okay. Everything's gonna be okay."
I closed my eyes.
Later
Haymitch stood on the side of my bed.
"Fight was over after The Capitol dropped those bombs to defend the Palace."
Mom tended to me.
"The Rebels walked right in."
I flinched as she applied ointment to the burns.
"Don't, Katniss. The ointment's working."
"Everybody felt it. Peacekeepers, Palace guards. They had kids in there too. It was..."
He lowered his gaze.
Haymitch struggled to stay composed.
"It was over after that."
I shifted my eyes from him to Mom's heartbroken face.
She kept her attention on her work.
"Mom?"
As Mom continued to avoid my gaze, I teared up.
"Prim is in the burn unit at The Capitol hospital. It's third degree burns over half of her body, Katniss."
I shook my head.
