This chpter is a little shorter then the last one. For all the Peeta lovers don't hate me for making him a mean drug user. It is just part of the book. So don't hate me and Diclaimer: I do not own the nuger games I mean Come on! The name of the site is FANFICTION.
The next thing I know is an early dawn is seeping through the windows and Haymitch is poking me with his finger. "Wha…?" I say raising my head. "It's dawn time to start reading again, but I bet Peeta will be over soon so we should move away from the kitchen windows. I nod and put the letters in the basket and we move back into my room and sort out of the letters again. Once we sort out the letters I give Haymitch the last letter I read last night and I grab the next letter.
Dear Katniss
I know it's been four weeks since the last letter but..life has been going on here. Rory is starting to like a girl who comes over often I have to work for 15 hours a day but I get Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off. Rory really does like this girl and the girl likes him. It's kinda funny to watch them. It's like they go in circles trying to talk to one another but then not knowing what to say. But anyway, their opening a new hospital here in 2 and there are rumors your mothers will be working at it. I told her if that happens that I would have her stay with us. I know you're not reading these but I'll still write to you, maybe one day you'll read them. But if you ever do I'll start numbering the for you. This would be letter number four. I hope you're doing ok. I know everything must be tough but just keep going, like the old Katniss would. Just rember this, your one of the best hunters I know. In fact I'm sure you could survive anything.
Love always
Gale
I laugh a little about the Rory and the girl part. The first laugh in months. Haymitch raises his eyebrow at me. I sigh, handing him the letter and pick up the next him.
Dear Katniss
So far this is letter number five. The rumors were true and our mother working at the hospital. She's been staying here. She misses you but I guess the memories of your dad are too painful. I don't really blame her, I don't even want to come back. If I did it would be the same things, hunt, work, come home and sleep. At lease here I have three days off and I know my family will be well feed. Though I do miss hunting.
Love always
Gale
I sigh at the shortness of the letter. Short seems they are all short the letters that Gale writes to me. I hand the letter to Haymitch who hasn't finished with the last one and grab the next letter.
Dear Katniss
Letter number six. Five months since the last time I saw you. Are you even reading these? I doubted it but I want to at least know. Please write a letter back if you're reading this I don't care what it says just let me know.
Gale
I sigh and pass the letter to Haymitch. "Shorter ones?" he asks me. I nod and pick up the next letter.
Dear Katniss
Letter number seven. Seven months. I guess you're not reading these but I'll keep writing anyways. Your other is doing good. Moms doing good. So are Rory, Vick and Posy. They all miss you. Not much has happened here, still feels weird to be living in district 2.
You friend
Gale
I hand this letter to Hayhmitch and pick up the next letter.
Dear Katniss
I know it has been two months since I wrote you but you don't even read them and I doubt you ever will. Well since you don't read them I'll just write stuff in here and send them to you. Rory and Shella made it official and are dating. Posy is doing good in school thankfully. She's six years old now and really smart. She can still rember you and even misses you. Mother misses you and your mother misses you badly. There's been a girl that I've been talking to. She's really nice and is always smiling. She is always talking to people and is so…social unlike you use to be. I stopped by Prim's monument in 4 and left some primroses along with Posy. I hope your doing better. I heard Peeta's been back, hopefully with him back you might go back to your old self. Anyway this was letter number eight and it's been nine months.
Gale
I swallowed hard. Another girl? I felt like hitting myself of course Gale has another girl!I sigh and hand the letter to Haymitch and grab the next letter.
Dear Katniss
Letter number nine an 1 years since we last was eachother. I can't believe it's been that long. Seems like just yesterday I had you next to me and we were fighting against the capital. Bella, the girl I was telling you about, well were more then just friends now. She asked me and I said yes. It was time to start moving on with you running to Peeta all the time. I still miss you but I don't think I could ever forget my best friend and hunting partner. Though the letters will be slower, I'll still write you.
Gale
Little streams of tears come from my eyes as I hug the letter close to my chest. Tears come down form my eyes as Haymitch snatches the letter from me and read it. "Katniss….sometimes these things happen." He sighed setting the letter aside. "Maybe their over by now, that was over a year ago." He said. I nod my head and pick up the next letter.
Dear Katniss
Letter number ten. One year and two weeks since I last saw you. I miss you. I miss 12 but I'm stuck here in 2. Not everything is bad though. Were well feed, theirs good education, fair government and not everybody is starving. Posy really likes the school. Bella and her get along great together. It's funny how much Bella loves kids she even wants some one day. I took Rory out hunting. He's a natural at the bow like you. Well I have to go.
Write you soon
Gale
I hand the letter to Haymitch and pick up the next letter and wipe the tears from my eyes.
Dear Katniss
Letter number eleven. One year and three months since I last saw you. Sorry about not writing. In my spear times I've been taking Bella out and hanging out with my family. Rory begs me everyday to take him hunting. I take him. Dear lord I can't get anytime to write you, I have to go now sorry.
Gale
I read all of the letters besides the last one. All of them include a Bella, his family, district 2, my mother and the 19 one said that he had was working on a special project with weaponswith Beetee. He had stopped writing for about a month when he heard I was getting engaged to Peeta. Finally I reach the last letter. I had been reading the letters for 3 hours but I open the last letter and read it.
Dear Katniss
Letter number thirty. It's been two years, 3 months and 1 one week since I last saw you. I hope Peeta has been treating you right or I'll personally kill him. I miss you like crazy. Sometimes it drives me insane.. I don't have much time because Rory is begging me to hunt and then Posy is making me play with her. I wish I could write longer letters but I can't. Your mother left ages ago to a different house but she still makes visits often.. Well I hope the wedding goes good for you.
Love always
Gale
I smile at this letter and hold it tight to me. He wrote that letter three weeks ago but things have been busy for him. Suddenly I look at the time and rember I have to send out the inventions to the wedding. Luckily I had made all of them two days ago so all I had to do was send them out. I rember that we had extras so I run through my dresser and pull out a clean invention and write Gale's name of it. I write a small note in the inside. I smile and put it with the rest of them and walk outside to mail them. Peeta would be at work so I didn't have to worry about that. She set them out and walked to Haymitch's house. Putting some liquor in a bag before walking back to my house. I hit Haymitch and stand out of the way as his knife slashes through the air. Once we calms down I drop the bag next to him. "Stay." I say. He peaks inside the bag and then nods happily.
Well the next chapter will have Gale in it. Now for the comments:
Ellenka: Yeah I guess having Peeta as a drug user is a new one. And thanks for the advise. I write alot of past tense so sometime I just write past tense on accident. Gale probably would but in this book he know Katniss wasn't going to read the letters but just hoped so he wrote small and pluse it's hard for me to come up with a long heart-felt letter...
hungergamelovers1316: Awwww thanks!
: Thank you so much!
Please remeber to review! I love to hear what you guys think about it
