KATNISS AND GALE - WEDDING BELLS

Gale's POV

My alarm went off minutes after I had woken up. I can never get used and trust that damn thing to wake me up on time. But it does. Everything seemed to have an ominous gloom to it the minute my eyes fluttered open. Well, that's no surprise actually, it's the day of Katniss' and Peeta's wedding.

I boarded the train traveling to District 12. The trees outside the windows were a blur as the train sped past them. My thoughts were jumbled up and my feelings were trapped in a box in my head as they struggle to break free.

The train ride was long enough for hundreds of thoughts to escape the box I had tried so hard to lock. All in all, the biggest question that haunted me was: how was I supposed to feel?

Right now, the only feeling I could feel was numbness. Every single thought, feeling and pang of pain had been pushed aside as I buried my head in work.

But now, the train heading for District 12 was literally forcing me to acknowledge those thoughts and feelings and deal with them.
