"It's going to be ok Prim." I hear my mom say. "She'll get out. This is Katniss we are talking about."
Although I know my sister is strong and can make it, would she be able to kill Peeta. She may have thought I never noticed her staring at Peeta, maybe only for a few seconds but it still happened. I knew she liked him, not yet love because Katniss held her love in just for my mother and me ever since our father died. I was too young to really know my father and was more of a momma's girl, and she was the daddy's girl. She went everywhere with him; hunting, trading, everywhere. When he died she broke inside.
"I know mom. Hey I am going to go for a walk ok?" I reply.
"Ya, but be back soon. Ok?"
"Sure thing, I'm just going to see how Gale's is doing." I say as I walk through the door holding a cry.
As I am walking to Gale's house, I am crying hysterically. 'Why? Why Katniss, why did you volunteer for me? Don't you know I'll probably die if you don't come back? Please just make it through.' Suddenly my thoughts are interrupted by a hug, I don't even care who it is, I-I just need to let out my hysteria. After what feels like forever but in reality is probably two minutes, the stranger pulls back and to my surprise, its Gale.
"Gale, what are you doing here?" I ask, stunned because he was always stand-offish to me, always with Katniss, and frankly kind of mean to me sometimes.
"Ummm. This is where I live, and I saw you crying and I thought you needed a hug. The real question is what are you doing?" He says with his deep gray eyes looking into mine like he is trying to see into my soul.
"I wanted to see how you were holding up… Katniss and you are- I mean were inseparable. And I-I wanted to see your opinion if she would make it through the games. Gale I- I miss her…" I say and start crying he pulls me into a bear hug again.
"I know you do Prim, but you have me. I-I mean you have our family."
"Wait what, Gale? What did you jus…" I am interrupted with his lips on top of mine. I am stunned for a moment but then as if I have kissed thousands of boys, my lips start moving with his in sync. The kiss is over shortly and I am stunned I can't move my whole body is floating. My first kiss was with Gale Hawthorne. My sister's practically boyfriend, yet I feel no guilt, just desire to kiss him again.
"Prim, I am sorry. I have wanted to do that for a little over two years but just was to chicken. I am sor…" I cut him short with another kiss. This one was sweet and everything I wanted.
"Gale, I love you." I say.
"I love you too." He replies.
Now, I have someone I can lean on while Katniss is in the Hunger Games. I just hope I'll have her back to me and she won't get mad at Gale and I.
