When I got back to my room Gale was sitting on my bed.
"What the hell!" I screamed
"I just came to talk," He said
"What about, about how sorry you are for killing my sister" I snapped "Or how it wasn't your fault, how you didn't know they would be used for that. Well I don't care you designed them, you created them"
I felt my knees buckle as I fell to the floor. I curled up on the ground and started pouring my eyes out. Gale came over to me and lifted me up, before I had time to yell at him he placed me on my bed and walked out. When he was at the door and turned and said, "We get off in 8 minutes".
I laid there for 5 minutes till I had to get up and get my stuff and me ready.
When the train pulled up at the station there was 3 of us getting off. I got up and walked straight to my old home, which wasn't damaged in the bombs.
I walked in and saw Greasy sae standing in the kitchen with a pot on the stove. As soon as I closed the door she came over and hugged me. "You're here," She said
"Yeah" I said in a brittle voice
"What's Wrong?" She asked
"Nothing" I said
I went and sat on the couch in the living room. "What are you cooking?" I asked trying to change the subject before I started crying again.
"Umm… Just some rabbit. You hungry?" she asked
"A bit" I said
"Good" she said "Well I have to go I will come back up later, Bye"
"Bye" I replied
I curled up on the couch and turned the TV on. They where still replaying videos of the war being one. This was the first time I watched it completely. Everyone around me always turned it off about where it was up to now.
I understand why they kept turning it off now. As I watched I saw why they didn't let me watch. I saw all the children standing in the crowed area then I saw the bombs drop, then as the medics helped the bombs went off again. Right Before they did I saw prim standing there then she disappeared.
I laid there for 3 days. People came and went mostly greasy sae and Haymitch. He told me that gale wanted to talk to me but every time he said his name I shooed him off.
On the fourth day he came he said that I needed to get out of the house. So I went for a walk to what used to be my old house, now it was just a pile of burnt and ash.
I decided to go for walk into the forest. I lost track of where I was. I was looking around when I recognised the rock where gale and me used to hang out. Sitting on the rock was gale.
I stepped back in surprise and saw gales head flick up. "Katniss" He yelled
"Hey" I said, "What are you doing here"
"I could ask you the same thing, I've been coming here all the time" he replied
"Well I am just on a walk" I said
I walked over to were he was sitting "Can I sit" I asked
"Sure" he said
I sat down next to him and started going through my head what I was going to say. "I'm sorry," I said
"What for, I am the one who's sorry," he replied
"I mean I am sorry for snapping at you, I was tired," I said
"Well I am sorry, for many reasons," he said
We sat in silence for about 5 minutes before he got and held out his hand. I looked at him questionly then he answered "Its getting dark"
I took his hand and he helped me up. We walked back with only slight chitchat. When we got to the nocked down fence he turned and faced me. "I know I don't ever deserve to be forgiven, but I did want you to know that I am truly sorry. I will leave you alone from now on," he said
"I-I don't think I want you to leave me alone" I said
He just smiled at me "Can I walk you home" he asked
"Sure" I said
As we walked back to my house we started talking about things in the past. It always started with 'Remember when…' or something else like that.
When we got to my doorstep I wrapped my arms around his back and whispered into his ear. "I missed you," I said
"Me too" he answered
"One question" I paused "Where are you staying"
"At Haymitch's" he said
I turned and opened the door. I waved goodbye as I entered
the house.
