She's Hurting.

This is a story about Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne. However this is the story of them growing up as teenagers in our world, So there is no Hunger Games but as the title gives away Katniss is hurting...

Gale's POV

She does this thing when she's nervous tap tap tap, I hate seeing her like this but there is nothing I can do. I can't, I can't tell her mother to stop hitting her, I wish I could but no one goes near her, No one will let me especially after...

"KATNISS", Her mother screeched up the house, then we heard her dull footsteps heading up the creaky stairs. I looked at Katniss with awe but I knew if i didn't get out her mother would kill her. Katniss scurried across the room giving me a warm hug, she whispered "I'll see you at school, where we useally meet?" I nodded and escaped out the window just as her mother burst through the door.

Katniss's POV

As I stand under the cold glare of my mother, I think 'Why do I even bother trying?' She goes to pick up something from the floor, I Instantly I know what it is. It's Gale's school bag. She look's at me until Prim walks in with a smug on her little innocent face. "Mom, I heard Gale's voice a minute ago, He was here." She looks at me sweetly taunting me with her blonde long hair, If only I could yank it out. That would teach her.

I stand up finally and walk over to my dresser and put a small black lace cardigan on over my Panic! at the disco T-Shirt. My mother raises her hand to slap the back of my head but as soon as I see her reflection move I duck. But Prim is a step ahead and trips me over. My mother takes the advantage and punches me, I can only imagine what the purple mark will look like, As it flowers over my eye. I stand up boldly, as Prim and my mother Snigger.

I hate them.

Gale's POV

As I venture near the school, I hear the whispers of girls wrapping their luxiourious voices aroung my ears as I suddently remember 'Crap, my bag.'

I start to turn around but Katniss is a couple of paces behind me, "Thanks, Dumass. Cost me my eye."

Katniss's POV

As we slaunter into school i can already here the bitchy comments starting to rise in the throuts of the swagfags. I pull my kitty ears straight and tighten my belt and pretend not to notice. 'Oh crap, Cato' I exclaim in my head. Gale and Cato are best friends, but Cato bullies me. I won't ever tell Gale because that will ruin his popular lifestyle. All the girls want him, All the guys want to be him. I told him to never sit with me and pretend to hate me because I love him. I mean in a friend way.
