Katniss's POV

Why? I thought miserably, it was another cold, drizzly day outside in district 12. Peeta had just yelled at AGAIN for suggesting that I go and see Gale, my best friend whom I missed dearly, and yearned more than anything to go and see him again, just once.

I had told Gale that I never wanted to see him again, after I saw yet another family member blown to bits. Of course it was different with Prim though. She got blasted right in front of my eyes, while I didn't see my father explode. Both were equally painful.

I wish that I had never married Peeta. It seemed like the right decision at the time, but he just tuned nasty toward me, like he once again has seen me for who I really am.

That thought made me shiver, as I dragged my feet through the Meadow, forcing to make myself enter the woods before I broke down today. I can't just start sobbing in front of my kids. One day the tears were unstoppable as the seeped through protesting eyelids and spilled onto the floor. It scared them half to death, and when they went to bed that night, Peeta screamed at me again.

Gale would never scream at me. Maybe at the Capitol, maybe at Haymitch, but never at me. To him, I am the daisy, in meadow of death. Of course he's way off. I prefer not talking to everyone I meet and, let's face it, I'm sullen and hostile.

I'm at the woods now, and I fall to my knees. It might have even damaged my knee caps, but right now I don't care. Gale was perfect for me! Is still perfect for me. Maybe there is still hope that I can end up with Gale! But he probably married someone else. And even if he didn't, he won't want me because I told him that I never wanted to see him again.

I don't know how long I stay in the woods, but when I get back, its late. Then kids are in bed and Peeta is fast asleep when I enter our shared bed. For the whole night I lay awake, thinking. What if I ditched and disobeyed Peeta by going to see Gale in District 2? What if I chose Gale over Peeta? Would life be better for me now? Would I be happy? These are the questions that drift throughout my thoughts before I fell asleep, and while I was sleeping.

When I woke up, I found my conclusion. I now know what must be done.
