Hi, I am Syrina Kamar, and I don't know about you, but I saw MANY missed opportunities that Suzanne Collins could have killed Gale Hawthorne. So this story is basically about times the Gale could have died. Each chapter will have nothing to do with the one before, so updates may be spread out. I just cant wait for Gale to DIE, so lets get on with it!

***Missed Opportunities**************

"What do you wanna do? Get him killed?!" one says. Then another, and another. All of these people telling me he's gonna get killed. Who, who gets killed?

I part my way through the crowd, and see Gale strapped to the whipping post, half dead. He deserves this. Me and Peeta went through a lot together, and still cant except us being together. He could have volunteered if he truly loved me. And saved Peeta his past life, and leg.

What am I saying!? Nobody deserves this! No matter how big of a j#$k he was. Poor Posy, Vick and Rory would never be the same. Once I finally realize that, I run up to the scene of the whipping. Only to find Gale breathing in little huffs of air, barely alive. The whipping has stopped, but not my guilt. But he will make it, but he will still mock me for the rest of my life.

Once we get back to Peeta's house since it was closer. He starts talking to me, holding my shacking shoulders. "Everything will be fine my love, it will all work out,"

"But what if it doesn't work. I cant go back to the capitol, and I cant live without a hunting partner." Why does this happen, I know it will not be fine, it will not work out like he says. I open my mouth to say this, but he stops my words with a kiss. It was long, and the first real kiss we shared ever since the cameras left.

Just then, my mother walks in, shaking her head with silent tears rolling down her cheeks. I can hear Prim loudly sobbing in the kitchen. We know what has happened, but I won't believe it until I see it.

My mother speaks up, "Peeta…can you go…go get Mrs…. Mrs. Hawthorne pp…please." She is clearly crying. Peeta silently nods his head and exits.

Prim goes up to her room and stays while my mother explains what has happened. I knew this would happen, but I am not as sad as I thought I would be. I feel more free to do what I want without thinking about what Gale would say or do.

Hazel shows up with Rory and they go to the kitchen with Mom. Peeta stayed with the other kids. Soon enough, I hear screams and loud sobs. Hazel leaves, mumbling something about peacekeepers. Rory goes to comfort Prim, but he barely lets out ant tears.

That night after the Peacekeepers leave, I lie awake, unable to sleep. His family has no one to support them but me. My head starts to hurt with all this thinking. I feel like I can start over and forget the past, starting with seeing Peeta.
