Cold air blows against my cheeks, reminding me of the freezing nights in the caves. Being in Peeta's warmth was wrong, I was in love with Gale. But at the same time, it felt so right. Pulling my scarf over my cheeks, I scurry over the snow-covered ground to my house in the Victor's Village.

Once I get inside I fling my snowflake-covered coat onto a chair. I kick the snow off my boots and throw my scarf and gloves off too. Looking around the house, it seems completely emptey.

"Hello?" I call out. Walking upstairs, in the living room, I'm startled to see President Snow sitting right there, in my living room. My hands are clenched to the side, eyes wide, mouth agape. Quickly, I loosen up and act natural.

"Oh, hello", I greet.

"Hello, Ms. Everdeen", he returns. My mom is right there, looking confused. She doesn't know how much danger I'm in. He looks at my mom, and she scurries out the room. Probably a "go away" glare, that you do not want to disagree with.

Now he looks at me, with that puffy-lipped smile and those snake eyes. "Let's get down to buisness. I don't have time for small may be wondering, why I'm here. Aren't you?", he asks. I open my mouth to respond, but I just nod my head.

"There is a problem, that ... stunt you did, with the berries. Has started an uprising. The Capitol might have fell for your act, but the other Districts, aren't too convinced.", he says calmy.

"An-an, uprising", I sputter.

"Yes, they started to rebell. If you don't control everything that is happening, then we will have a start to a rebellion in our hands. And we wouldn't want that. That's why you have to be more controlled with your actions. If this doesn't work out, everything will be a riot. That won't benifet for you either. Because if tis gets too out of control, we might have to..", he pauses. "Get rid, of your cousin, to make everything less tense, and everyone will be less confused. You know, they are getting mixed signals, if you truly love Peeta or you any relationship with your cousin", he finishes.

By the way he said get rid, I knew he ment kill. And how he said cousin, I know he ment Gale. Oh no, this isn't good. During the games, they announced that Gale was my cousin, because he was too handsome to be just a friend. I thought when I came back from the games, I could relax and resume to what I want. "Please, please don't kill Gale. This isn't his fault", I manage to croak out.

"Even if this isn't his fault, he's a major problem. If this get's out of hand, we have no other choice. But if you don't want this to happen. You have to do something", he says mysteriously.

"Yes?", I ask curiously.

"On the victory tour, you need to convince them you love Peeta. Convince the audience. Convince me.", he says smoothly.

Just like that he leaves. But just as his hand touches the door knob he freezes without looking back. "And I know, about the kiss you shared with him", he says simply. Just like that, hes gone.

My eyes are wide in shock, how did he know I kissed Gale? Does he have cameras following me or something? Before I can answer my own questions my mom walks in, concerned.

"Is everything alright?", she asks. I don't think she can handle the news if I tell her. It will only make things worse I convince myself.

"Yes, mom. Everything is alright. He just wanted to wish me luck on the Victory Tour", I say reassuringly and a smile.

She lets out a relieved sigh. "Okay. I thought there was a problem", she says.

"No problem, the Victory Tour will be just great", I say.

After that I walk upstairs and lie down . My eyes glare at the ceiling as I try to fit everything in together. How am I supposed to convince everyone I'm seriously in love with Peeta? It was all an act, I don't love him, I love Gale. We already embraced, kissed, sacrificed our lives for eachother. What else do the audience want? And then it hits me.

He has to propose to me. I have to marry, Peeta Mellark.
