A/N (Update 12-6-12, Manila Time): I made a rewrite of this. It's the chapter before this one (In case you followed, and landed here instead of the rewrite)
A/N: Hey readers! This is just a one-sided Gadge songfic. I thought of while listening to the song. If people like this, I will make it a multi-chap of Gadge songfics. Bold-Italic is the song.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hunger Games or Teardrops on my Guitar. They belong to Suzzane Collins and Taylor Swift respectively.
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing, everything that we should be
He hates me, and most likely all of the "town kids". We were the "lucky" ones; we never starved… well, for the others, most of the time, but not for me, being the mayor's daughter and all. "Well if I'm going to the Capitol this year, I might as well look good" that probably set him off, too. I was wearing clothes his family could never afford, the pin especially. Even Katniss was looking at the pin like it could feed her family for months, it probably could.
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
Katniss wasn't rich, but she is beautiful, and her voice was one that could silence even the mockingjays. She isn't the luckiest girl around, but she had and has Gale. She was exactly what he wanted.
Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny
When I came over to pay for the strawberries, he cracked some joke about how Prim and Rory were so cute together. I laughed, for the first time since Katniss volunteered, I laughed.
That I can't even see, anyone when he's with me
Little did he know, I wasn't laughing because of the joke, but because I couldn't even see or feel the stares from Mrs. Everdeen, Mrs. Hawthorne, Prim, Posy, and Gale's brothers.
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right
When Katniss and Peeta were together, he cried. Gale Hawthorne cried. Because he was just so in love, he says he'd finally gotten everything right, and that he wishes Prim was never reaped.
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
He probably didn't know that I thought about him that night, and every night, and how I wished that I was his Catnip.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
I would once in a while pick up my old guitar and play a little song and that song was always a love song, one that would leave me longing for that song to be true for me. I would cry silently in the corner of my room, every time.
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
Every night, I would stand by the window and wish, wish for that love song to finally come true.
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
That love song is in my head and I can't stop singing it. It reminds me so much of what I want with him.
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
He sells me strawberries alone, since Katniss broke her ankle. Without the distraction called Katniss wasn't there, I could barely talk to him without becoming a total fangirl
And there he goes so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
The way he walks away makes me wish that I was that perfect- that I was perfect enough for him.
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause
Katniss couldn't decide between Gale or Peeta I wanted her to choose Peeta, so that I could have Gale to myself, but I couldn't be selfish, so I told her to follow her heart. I was half-hoping that she would choose Gale. He would be so happy. And if he was happy, so was I.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the one who left me longing- longing for him. But I knew who he wanted.
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I put his picture down, and maybe get some sleep tonight
But I knew I would never get over him.
Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He knew me enough to be able to make me love him, to make me his, but I knew, I knew he was too in love with Katniss to do that.
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time, taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
"He is all I need right now, I know he would find me, eventually." That's all I think before the darkness engulfs me.
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
But it's not all I see. I see him, right in front of me, and I smile. I smile as the smoke and flames take their toll.
