Katniss's POV
I sighed. It was going to be a long, lonely train ride to district two, but it would be worth it.
I was trying to decide on how I would greet him. We hadn't set an exact date or time, so I would be somewhat surprising him. I would just go to his house, I knew his address, and I would just hope for the best.
I still felt like a monster inside, but I thought that I was doing the right thing. I closed my eyes, trying to make all the thoughts in my head disappear. I drifted into a light sleep.
I woke up screaming from my usual nightmares. There was no Peeta here to comfort me now. I took some deep breaths and tried to relax. I looked out the window and realized we were really close to district two.
Outside was somewhat familiar to me from my victory tour with Peeta. Peeta. I had to stop thinking about him now. That part of my life was over.
Now it was time to exit the train. I stood up and went through the automatically opening doors. I sighed and looked around. District two, I saw the partially collapsed Nut, and some ruins. I could see that the district was making progress.
I wandered about until I found the right section of town. It was Sunday, so he wouldn't be working.
Finally I found his neighboring houses. I walked along the street and I came to his house. There he was, right on his doorstep. I should have been elated to see him, only there was one problem. A big problem. I got a sinking feeling in my stomach.
He was standing on his doorstep with a girl. Only they weren't just standing. They had their arms wrapped around each other, and they were kissing. The girl had long, wavy, caramel hair, and she was wearing a shiny, silver and black dress. Why on earth would he like a girl like that?
I swallowed my tears, and stood there, waiting for them to pull apart; if they ever did.
Finally they did, and I walked up to them, smiling the best fake smile I could muster.
"Katniss!" He said as if nothing had just happened.
I smiled. "Hi Gale," I said softly.
"Hey, Katniss, I had just been telling Mauve about you," he continued. "Mauve, this is the famous Katniss Everdeen. Katniss, this is my girlfriend Mauve."
I nodded and shook hands with her. She smiled at me. "Katniss it is so great to meet you! I have heard a lot about you, you being Gale's best friend and all."
I nodded. "Great to meet you too."
"Well, I was just leaving. Maybe I will see you again soon!" She said with yet another smile as she walked off.
"Sorry about that. I would have told I just didn't… Well on the phone you were so shaken up…" He said awkwardly.
I nodded. "No, I understand, and I mean its great that you… found someone new."
He nodded and his beautiful eyes looked genuinely happy. "well, let me show you inside," he said.
He had a small house, but it was kept clean and neat. I was staying in an unoccupied room upstairs.
Once alone in my room, I threw my suitcase onto the floor and let the tears escape, flowing down my cheeks. What was I supposed to do now?
After a few minutes, I heard Gale call my name. I wiped away the tears and went downstairs.
When he saw me, he instantly knew I had been crying. He gave me a big hug. It was comforting to feel the warmth of his body again, but it wasn't the same as past hugs we had shared.
I pulled away and he said, "What's wrong?"
I couldn't tell him the truth so I said, "Well you know, I have been crying a lot lately, with what happened and all…"
He nodded. "What exactly did happen? I mean, you and Peeta were so happy. Did he do something to hurt you?"
I shook my head. "No, nothing like that it's just… Well I found out I didn't love him, but now I feel like a monster, and I just couldn't stay there anymore."
He nodded. "You can stay here as long as you need to."
"Thanks, Gale." I whispered.
Yayy now you now who 'he' is! Awww poor Katniss! :'(
