Chapter 27

Katniss P.O.V.

Prim is trying to cheer me up. Not only her. Everyone. But no one can do that. I need to have Peeta to be happy. Peeta and Prim. Not only Prim. Not only Peeta. Both of them.

I'm just sitting on the couch. Annie is sitting beside me. She moved in again of course. But this time Clove moved in as well. She's pregnant and alone. She's our friend and Cato asked us to look after her while he's gone. How could we say no? Cato is in Afghanistan and can't look after his pregnant wife, and Annie and I love Clove she's our best friend and best friends looks after each other.

"Katniss you need to leave the couch", Annie says. "Come on, we'll have an all girls day at the carnival, we'll have a great time and we will ride a lot of carousels".

"I don't want to", I say.

"We've already told the others to come over here, so you're going!" Clove says.

"You can't even ride the damn carousels!" I point out to her.

"But I can eat a lot of unhealthy food", Clove says with a big smile on her face. "And stay behind with the kids because they can't ride the same things as you guys".

"I said I don't want to go, but you go, I'll stay here!" I say as I lay down in the couch again.

I don't want to leave this couch. I don't. Until Peeta gets home, this couch right here is my husband.

"Oh come on!" Annie says. "You can't lie here until Peeta gets home".

"Yes I can", I mumble into the couch.

"No you can't!" Annie and Clove says.

"They're right Katniss", Prim says coming into the room.

She's dressed in shorts and a crop top with her hair in two braids like always. And on her feet she has sandals. She's ready for the carnival.

Ugh but I don't want to go.

The doorbell rings.

Prim runs to get the door.

And a minute later every one comes in. Gabriella and Julia with Summer and Aston. And Madge with Rue.

I still don't want to go.

"She's not up yet?" Gabriella asks.

"Nope", Annie says, popping the p.

"Katniss come on! Peeta would be disappointed with you if you keep lying here, not going on with your life, so get your ass out of that couch!" Gabriella says.

Now this got to me. Peeta would be disappointed. I ... I guess he would. Yeah okay... He would be disappointed.

This makes me lift my head and look at Gabriella. She looks stubborn. And she is. Just like me. And so is Julia. Isn't it funny how all three of the Mellark boys chose girls with the same attitude and the same qualities?

I sit up.

"What?" I ask.

"Peeta would be disappointed", Julia says looking stubborn as well. What did I say?!

I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I let a single tear flow down my cheek.

"I know", I say and stand up. "Let's go to the carnival".

***

So we spend the whole day at the carnival. Clove eats a lot and I really mean a lot of unhealthy food while she watches the children and the rest of us rides the carousels.

It's actually fun and for a few hours I forget about my misery and manage to have fun with my sister, sister-in-laws and my friends.

But after a few hours, I start to feel sick. Maybe I've been on too many rides or something, because I haven't eaten that much actually.

Eventually I feel so sick, I can't go on anymore rides.

I just tell everyone I feel a bit dizzy, and just stand with Clove and the kids.

I feed Summer with a vanilla ice cream and she licks it with her tongue, making sounds of enjoyment each time. This kid is crazy about ice cream I tell yah.

I don't really know why I keep on feeling sick. I stopped going on the rides, but I still feel like throwing up.

The others comes running up to us with smiles on their faces.

"Woah Katniss are you alright?" Madge asks.

"Why?" I ask.

"You're very pale in your face", Annie says.

Oh. Yeah I'm not surprised. I really feel sick. But at the same time I know I'm not sick.

"Yeah I just feel dizzy, I feel like throwing up", I say.

"You ate something bad?" Clove asks.

"No she shared her food with me", Annie says. "And I feel fine".

"That's weird", Prim says.

Yeah. Everyone thinks it's weird and it is. I really don't know why I feel sick.

And suddenly I feel how my stomach wants to get out of my body.

I run up to the nearest trashcan just in time before I throw up. It feels like every little bit of my stomach leaves my throat.

"Oh god..." I mumble as I straight up again.

But now I don't feel sick anymore. Although I've got a headache.

What's wrong with me?

"Katniss how are you?" Gabriella asks.

"Well I don't feel sick anymore", I say. "But I do have a headache".

Gabriella, Julia, Annie and Clove looks at each other. Exchanging a look I can't read.

What are they thinking about?

But then I know what might be the problem.

Oh no.

"Um guys?" I say.

They look at me.

"You don't think I might be...?" I say, no being able to bring myself to say the last thing.

They nod.

Oh no...
