Katniss woke up sharply, cold sweat clinging to her back. She pulled the duvets up past her chest and up to her shoulders, as she was freezing, the open window letting cold air rush inside. This was odd to Katniss, she never liked leaving the window open, as the Hunger Games left anxious at even the possibility of danger. She noticed that the walls were familiar, but not hers. Then it struck her. She was in Gale's house. She turned to her head, hoping to see Peeta there. To her dismay, lay Gale, his broad shoulders dotted with moles and freckles. Katniss's whole body was starting to shake, and she brought her two fingers to her skin, giving it a pinch, praying to wake up in Peeta's strong, baker boy hands. But no. She was still there, laying next to her best friend, who she seemed to have slept with. What had they done? She didn't feel any different to any other morning, except for being sick to her stomach, but that's all. She was jolted back to her senses by the sound of Gale stirring in his sleep. It dawned on Katniss that she needed to get out, fast. She grabbed her clothes, or whatever she could find and quickly slip on, before heading down the stairs. On the second step she took, she tripped and fell head first, down the to the floor. She hit the bottom hard, her body aching. By the sounds of things, it had looked like Gale was awake, and slowly making his way to Katniss, checking on the situation. She stood up, her knees almost giving way under the pain, and hobbled to the door, she took a sigh of relief as she got outside, the morning air refreshing her, lifting the queasy feeling from her stomach, but also making her silent tears cling to her face.

She managed to get through half of District 12, to the winners house which she shared with Peeta. She was surprised the door was unlocked, as Peeta was just as weird about safety as she was. She slid through the door, before plonking her stuff down on the bottom step and slumping into a nearby chair. It wasn't long before she heard faint footsteps plodding down the stairs. Peeta appeared in the doorway, dressed in nothing but a towel, hair clinging to his forehead, it appearing a light brown from the dampness. He gave her a kiss on the forehead, before pouring himself some cereal.

'You're up early' Peeta said with a smile. 'Oh no,' thought Katniss, 'Can he see the guilt on my face?'

'I know' said Katniss, plastering the most realistic smile on her face that she could do. 'I was doing a bit of early hunting, the deers always come out before the sun rises.' Was that even true? thought Katniss, she was starting to lose her touch.

'Ok.' Said Peeta, 'I have to be honest with you, I don't remember anything from last night, Haymitch brought out way to much alcohol' he said, a sad expression on his face. 'I only remember waking up today.'

He doesn't remember anything? thought Katniss. That makes two of them.

Peeta continued 'I just want to... Apologize if I did anything I shouldn't have done.'

'It's ok,' Katniss said, 'Everyone makes mistakes, including me.' She had to tell him the truth. 'Last night I...'

Her confession was interrupted by a knock on the door. She got up to answer it, Peeta running upstairs to avoid being caught in a towel. Katniss opened the door, her heart stopping at the sight. There was Gale, holding up a pair of underpants. Her underpants.

'Katniss,' he said 'I found these in my bedroom this morning.' A stern look etched on his face.

'I...I' She stuttered. 'I don't-'

' I need your help,' he interrupted, 'I found these today, and by the looks of things in the house, I think me and...Mystery girl' he said, pointing to the underpants, 'got pretty wild last night.'

'So?' Katniss said relaxed, trying to sound casual and all, 'you bring girls to your house all the time' she said, she was hoping that Gale would tell her that he found something that told him that, actually, he didn't really do anything with anyone last night.

'There was one thing missing though' he said.

What? Katniss thought to herself. 'What was it?' She said, genuine concern on her face.

'Protection' He said, worry clearly visible on his face. 'Katniss, what am I going to do? Half of District 12 got hammered last night, and I could've brought anyone home last night...Could have got anyone...Pregnant' he stammered, choking on the last word.

Katniss stood there, dumbstruck. 'Er...err. I think you should go home' She murmured. 'Try and think about what happened last night, maybe something will come to you.' She choked.

He smiled, and gave her a hug before he parted ways with her and headed home, his shoulders sagging more and more with each step. Katniss closed the door, before sliding down and curling into a ball. Had her and Gale?... No that's not possible, she thought, there's no way...But what if we had?... Katniss thought to herself. Could I be?...

'No Katniss', She said to herself, 'You shouldn't do this to yourself.'

She decided to take a shower, help her clear her thoughts. The water was just the right temperature, Katniss and Peeta have a lot of weird, small things in common, like shower temperature, for example. She let the jets hit her body. Her neck, her back, her stomach, her face. She heard the shower door open, and Peeta slip inside, wanting a second wash. He cradled her, thinking that everything was alright. But he was oblivious. Oblivious to the fact that Katniss had done a terrible, sinful thing. Oblivious to the possibility that she and Gale had unprotected sex. And, thanks to the shower, oblivious to the tears pouring down Katniss's face. She gazed at him, a smile etched across his face. Once he found out, would he ever look at her the same way again? He left the shower, saying he had important things to discuss with Haymitch before lunch. When the door closed, Katniss sobbed, she sobbed until the shower became cold, and even after. She felt the icy cold water on her skin, seeping into her muscles, through to her heart. Katniss wondered whether she would ever feel any different, ever again.
