AN: Hello people of the Fanfiction world. Some of you may know me some of you may know me some of you may not. Im a big writer of TNLOCK (The Nine Lives of Chloe King). However I've recently became a fan of the Hunger Games Series. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I want to. I'm only on the second book so no spoilers please. Im a big Keeta fan. However at the beginning there is some Kale. And for those Gale lovers, I'm sorry but hes a dick in this just saying. Anyways enough of me. Read and Enjoy. Review please.

~Katniss's POV~

Shooting searing pain, shooting pain all throughout my face. Blow after blow, I felt the blood trickle down my face from where his ring hit me. You may think I'm a victim of a mugging or bullying. But no, I Katniss Everdeen am in an abusive relationship with my 2 year boyfriend Gale Hawthorn. Even though I would never admit it to anyone else but myself sometimes not even to me.

"I fucking told you I didn't want you hanging out with Thresh anymore. I don't fucking trust me. And apparently I can't trust you enough to not go whoring around with some bastard." He yelled at me as he pushed my back harder against the brick wall with every word.

"I-I'm sorry. We were d-doing homework. I-I swear. I missed Chem on Monday and he was just giving me the notes. I-I promise."

"You're a liar… You slept with him didn't you!?" He yelled.

I was shaking at this point. I couldn't even talk.

"Didn't you, you fucking whore." He said ramming my head into the brick wall.

"N-No! I never did. I-I swear. Please stop. Please. So much pain." I sobbed

"Good." He said as he dropped me.

I Immediately sank to the ground as sobs racked my body.

"Now Katniss, get out of my site before I regret not doing more to you."

I struggled to stand and began limping home. I tried to walk straight as to not worry my mother when I realized Mom isn't home. Mom is never home she is always at the hospital ever since Dad died. I mean I'm glad she helps people but she should help her two kids who are basically raising themselves. Yes I have a sister her name is Primrose I call her Prim for short. I walked up to my front door and unlocked it.

"Prim I'm home. You here?" I called out for her.

I walked into the kitchen only to find a note on the table.

Katniss,

Went to Rue's I'm spending the night. See you tomorrow Love you.

Kiss Kiss,

Prim

I internally sighed and struggled up the stairs to my room. I went into my en suite bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I had a gash on my right cheek from Gale's ring, a slightly visible hand print on my throat from where he grabbed me and slammed me on the wall. Im honestly surprised I didn't have a black eye. I felt liquid running down the back of my neck. It was warm and sticky, blood.

I reached behind me and wiped some up. Yep definitely blood. I grabbed a piece of toilet paper and wet it, setting it on the back of my neck, wincing at the pain. I ball. I swiped it across my neck. Fuck it stings.

"Shitfuckcuntbitchwhore!" I whispered over and over as I cleaned my cuts. (AN: My best friend Laura and I created this word while playing penumbra scary shit.)

Once my cuts were cleaned I went back into my room and went to sit on my bed. My thoughts wandered to today's events. I remember the impact of his hand on my face: the stinging all throughout the left side of his, the feeling of my back breaking as he shoved me against the wall, how my head felt like it was going to explode when he rammed it into the brick wall. I could feel it again. The sinking feeling in my heart, the feeling of emptiness, the heartbreak, the tears.

I sank to the floor as the tears racked my body. I held onto the bed post for support. I knew what I had to do. No matter what happened things always led back to this. I reached into my bedside table and grabbed my blade. I know, I know. Its bad for you. I doesn't really fix anything. But it makes me feel better. I makes the pain almost bearable. If I couldn't cut I'd be nothing but a pile of emptiness on the floor. Who am I kidding I'm still a pile of emptiness on the floor.

I positioned the razor horizontally against my wrist. I slice hard and deep all up my left arm and then all up my right. The on reason I stopped was because I ran out of room.

"I'm so sorry daddy. I'm so sorry I'm not fixable." I sobbed as I laid there on the floor. I cried for what felt like hours then everything went dark.

Katniss's Dream

Warmth and heat; I was lying on a beach in the middle of July. I had no bruises, no scars.

"Kat. Kat. You there?" I heard one of my best friends Madge say to me.

"Oh yea, sorry totally spaced."

"Hey look there's the hot life guard. I heard he's new. His name is Gale. Isn't he just to die for?"

I looked over and sure enough there he was in all his glory. He smiled at me and as he did so things changed and morphed into something new. I was no longer on a warm sunny beach. I was back in a dark ally.

"Katniss you filthy whore! No one wants you. If you leave you'll have nothing. I'm the only one who puts up with your pathetic self." He said as he put his hands on my throats and pushed me against the wall.

"I-I hate you!" I spat out

"Excuse me? You what?" he said tightening his grip on my throat.

"I-I said, I hate you!"

"Bitch!" he shouted.

He slammed me against the wall by my throat repeatedly.

I couldn't help but let out a strangled scream. I could feel my breathing become more raggid and my heart beat start to slow. So this is how I would die, by the hands of my boyfriend: the person I thought loved me endlessy. I was wrong so so wrong.

"Katniss." I heard from Gale, except it sounded caring.

"Katniss." The voice morphed and started to change. It sounded like Prim

My world started to shake and change and I thought maybe it was an earthquake.

"Katniss wake up. You're going to be late for school."

My eyes fluttered as I woke up. I take in my surrounding and im on the floor. I don't even remember falling asleep. Let alone on the floor.

I look up at Prim and she looks so sad.

"Prim whats wrong?"

"You promised you'd stop. You promised." She whispered motioning to my arms.

"I'm sorry. I tried I really tried."

"Gale will be so disappointed. You know how he cares for you so."

"Yeah I know. I'm sure he will understand." I said lying through my teeth. I can't let my sister know what he does to me.

"Well you should get dressed sis." She said skipping out of the room.

I closed the door behind her and went to my closet. I needed to wear something with long sleeves today. I grabbed a plum V-neck sweater, and a beige scarf. I grabbed a pair of skinny jeans and my black uggs

I changed and sat my cracked mirror. It used to be my dad's shaving mirror but I begged my mother to let me put it in my room. I decided it would be best to wear my hair down in waves to cover the scars on my cheek.

I put on concealer so it didn't look as bad as it really was. I grabbed my bag and walked out my bedroom door and down the stairs. I looked around for Prim but she must have already left for school in fear of being late.

I grabbed an apple off the table and walked out the door, to go back to school where I'm reminded every day that I'm worthless.
