A/N: Okay, I had no idea what to name this story. But, this story will bring up questions. The 74th Hunger Games are over, this is sort of the beginning of Catching Fire. Snow is supposed to be coming to talk to Katniss, like he does in the beginning. But, Katniss and Gale are together. Will Snow destroy The Hunger Games? Does Katniss really love Gale? Will she leave him? Will Snow show up?

Gale shakes me awake, and I'm sweating. More nightmares about Snow's visit. Every night, never-ending nightmares. I get up, eat breakfast, and then watch the door. Then Gale walks in.

"What are you doing, Katniss?" He asks.

"Waiting for Snow." Is all I say.

"He probably won't show up. You know Capitol people." He says flatly.

"Gale, I'm sick of you being so hateful about the Capitol people. I don't like them either, but some of them aren't all that bad. And besides, yelling will get you where? Nowhere." I nearly yell.

"Katniss, they sent you into an arena to kill people! They almost sent your sister! They're awful!" He starts yelling at me. I can't take it anymore. We fight nearly everyday. This has been going on ever since I got back from the games. I guess he was just jealous of Peeta, and I.

"Gale- G- Get out!" I screech.

"No." Is all he says, and then out of nowhere, he hits me across the face. I fall to the ground, in terror.

"I'm sorry, I- I didn't mean it. I- I love you, Gale. D- Don't leave." Man, I wish he would leave. I wish I could kick him out, but who knows what he'd do to me. I wish I didn't have to live in complete fear. But I do. And there's nothing I can do about it.

"Just don't step out of line again, okay?" He says.

"Okay. I wont, I- I'm sorry." I whisper, and he hugs me. I don't hug him back. I'm completely sick of him. Maybe I'll just leave in the middle of the night, get out, and run. Never look back. But where would I go? I have to do this. I have to. My mother and Prim live next door, so I couldn't go there. Only one name enters my mind. One guy. A baker.

Peeta.

A/N: Sorry, that was like, the shortest chapter EVER, but I thought it was a good place to end. I don't know how well this story will work out, but the though came to me, and I had to write it. So tell me what you think! And if you have any ideas, or want to help me co-write the next chapter(s) PM me!

Review! :D
