"What the hell!" Katniss shrieked once again.
The two men scrambled for there clothes and quickly as they could got dressed. "Katniss let me explain" Peeta stepped forward but seeing the women's expression he took a couple of steps back.
"I don't want to know!" Katniss screamed.
"Katniss we didn't even" Gale stopped before he finished his sentence.
"Get out!" She stormed towards the hunter, "GET OUT!"
Gale opened his mouth to speak but slowly walked out the room.
"Katniss if you just listen!" Peeta finally raised his voice.
"No! I don't want to know what you did behind my back! I never thought you of all people would do this!" Katniss was going on a rant while yelling, nothing unusual for Peeta.
"Katniss god damn it! We didn't have sex!" The baker had raised his voice to the same level as Katniss, he wouldn't be surprised if the people outside heard that.
"So why were you naked?" Katniss asked.
"I don't really know how it happened, I was tired and he offered to stay! That's it so calm down now!" Peeta explained.
But Katniss wasn't having any of it, "You know what Peeta, ITS OVER!"
"What do you mean over!"
"I WANT A DIVORCE!"
Those words, they felt like an arrow through his chest, it was as if time froze but he kept on feeling. Regret, pain and the insane need to cry filled his body.
"You, you want a divorce?" Peeta stuttered, he was stunned.
"Yes Peeta, I want a divorce! You're running off with Gale I bet; go on get on with it! I want nothing to do with you!" She kept on screaming and yelling making Peeta feel worse.
"You know what Katniss! I'm going, hope you're happy!" Peeta stomped over to a cupboard and pulled out suitcase, he began violently stuffing his clothes and any other belongings he could inside.
He stormed outside holding his two stuffed suitcases, lifting his head he spotted Gale standing on the other side of the street looking at him. The sound of the door slamming caused him to jump and drop the suitcases.
Peeta leaned down to pick them up but a familiar hand snatched them, he lifted his head to see Gale standing over him. "Go away" He grumbled.
"No" Gale refused.
"Just go, you've already cost me my marriage!"
"No, Ive screwed up and left before, not again"
Peeta gave up after an hour of arguing, he decided to let Gale help. They each held a suitcase and were walking through the district, "Do you have a place to stay?" Gale asked.
"Not really, I could ask Haymitch to ether find me a new home or bunk with him, or go to district four or seven" Peeta sighed.
"Or" Gale paused, "You could stay with me"
"Trying to fix what's shattered into a thousand pieces are we?" The baker grumbled.
"Does it matter?"
"A little bit"
"I somehow doubt it"
"Are you even making any sense?"
"I hope so"
Peeta decided living with Gale, for a short time he had to add, might help. Give him someone to talk to and not go crazy… again.
"Do you live with your family?" The blonde asked, had Gale mentioned who he lived with or where he lived?
"No not anymore, but I live close if that counts" Gale answered with a slight smile. Was this good news or bad news, he couldn't decide. It was good since he wouldn't have to be around the mans family, not that he didn't like them of course. But on the bad news, it would just be those two, alone, in a home… alone especially what happened just an hour ago.
It wasn't long before they reached a row of houses that looked straight from district two, he recognized the placed, it used to be Katniss' old neighbor hood. Gale led him further down the street to a neatly bricked house with a sign next to the door saying 'Gale Hawthorne residence'.
"Welcome to my home" The hunter pushed open the door; the house was like it was also from two. Not to fancy but not like it was from the old twelve. Neatly cleaned furniture, plain white benches and freshly painted walls and the house just looked like it was just built.
"You can take the guest bedroom, its upstairs and on the left, I'll be up in a minute" Gale threw his keys onto the bench and walked into another room.
Peeta groaned and dragged his suitcases upstairs and into the room he was told. The bed sheets were a pale blue, the wall decorated with a plain white but it added a bright, boyish but charming tone.
He dropped onto the bed, and brought his knee's up. Just a few hours ago he was 'happily' married, everything was all set. But now, he had cheated on his wife and she was divorcing him!
She was acting a lot like his mother though, but still there was a lot different between the two. He could feel warm tears rolling down his face.
The man sat there, curled into the fettle position sobbing his brains out in the house of a person he used to hate. But he couldn't say he hated the man anymore, he could never say that now.
But then Gale walked in and immediately sat down on the bed, "What's wrong Peeta?" He questioned.
"What's wrong! Have you not been paying attention, I'm being divorced, and it's my fault! That bitch! I hate her; everything was always her way and what she wanted! I would always get screamed at for even trying to take care of Jenny. Oh god Jenny, I want to take care of her, she doesn't deserve a bitch of a mother like Katniss, how could she have changed all these years, what happened? What the hell happened Gale?" Peeta sat there sobbing and pouring his heart out and Gale listened, nodded and took it all in.
