Katniss' eyes met with gale's, no words were said. The silence between them was unbearable, flashbacks of what had happened the night before played in their heads.
(Beginning of flashback)
Peeta was lying down on the bed of the hospital, hand cuff as usual. No matter what the doctors did he didn't seem to get any better. So that night the doctors decided that Katniss should go into his room and talk to him to see if he could remember anything. They assure her nothing would happen to her that they would be outside watching everything, Gale had come too he wanted to witness everything, to protect her.
She went into the room not sure of what to say or do. Once inside Peeta looked at her.
"They said you would come here" he said
Complete silence followed, what was she suppose to tell him? He hated her, the boy she had once known was gone. All the memories with him came to her memories, tears filling her eyes. When had she become so weak?
"why are you crying?" Peeta asked
"I miss the old you" she said
He looked at her, a weird look on his face that you couldn't quite get; it was a mixture of sadness and confusion. "I wish I could," he whispered
Katniss was taken aback. "What do you mean?" she said
"I am not sure but even though I feel like I should hate you for all the stuff I remember about you… I just can't force myself to do it"
Speechless, yes that's the perfect word to described what she was feeling in that moment. Did he really still love her?
She moved near him and sat down in a chair next to the bed. She looked at him, his eyes closed, blond locks in his face… gorgeous. Her eyes stopped at his lips, hypnotized you could say that, how many kissed they have shared and how ungrateful she had been.
She leaned forward and touched her lips w his gently. Peeta's eyes snapped open and she moved away, her cheeks burning. "What did you just do?" He asked
"I don't know.. I.. Just…" she said stuttering, not being able to say anything coherent. Her head was spinning. What had she done? He would hate her even more. And Gale, he was outside watching… She had definitely screw things up. She was gone in her thought when she heard something that brought her back to earth "kiss me"
Her eyes wide in shock met with his "what did you say?" she asked
"Kiss Me" he said
And that was all it took for Katniss to go and press her lips against Peetas. She didn't remember that everyone was watching outside, neither did she care. The only thing that matter was how good her lips felt on his. He moved his lips turning that sweet kiss into a more passionate one, tongue sliding into her mouse, fighting for dominance and in the end winning. It looked like time had stopped until the door suddenly opened revealing a pissed of Gale and a grinning Haymich.
(End of Flashback)
She hadn't spoken to Gale all day but she knew that she would eventually bump into him and she did. There she was staring at him with nothing to say to him.
"So that's it then, you chose him" he said a mix of anger and sadness was clearly shown in his face. "Its not like that Gale" she tried to explain to him how much Peeta needed her right now but no matter what she would say both of them deep down knew the truth. She had chosen Peeta over Gale. It had been like that ever since the hunger games.
