Please review this chapter! Sorry for any messed up format. This Edit/Preview Document thing annoys me cause it's randomly bolding texts, etc. Enjoy!


"It's not what you think...", I tell her, honestly.

"Then what is it, Gale? Are you telling me you didn't marry or propose to anyone? I have the right to know, Gale. I've been your friend for years!", she demands.

I sigh, releasing all my stress. There is no going back, I can't put this off any longer. She has the right to know. My hand clutches the precious ring as a single tears rolls of my face and onto the ring. "It started when I got to District 2..."

Katniss' POV "I felt so uneasy, like I had to use in the world. So instead, I tried to start a new life, without looking back. Eventually, I started to get close to a woman named Acial. She was beautifal, down to earth, much traits you would like to find in someone. But the closer we got, the more I missed you. I missed everthing about you, the laughs we shared, the memories. After, I moved into a diferent location is District 2, where I could forget her, which was easy because I didn't truly love her. Never have I ever found happiness. If I did, the memories of being with you flooded back, I couldn't stand it. I needed you. I wanted to propose to you, but I knew that I couldn't because the fact that I killed your sister...". Gale explains.

I flinch at the last part, remember the heavy smoke filling my lungs as the bomb released and the fire englfed her with flames. He continues.

"Even if I yerned for you every waking hour, I did what was best for you. Being depressed, I hardly did anything in my life. I soonly after quitted my job, because I didn't have the will power to do it. So after a month or so, I ran out of money and got kicked out of my apartemnt. Thankfully, I had stashed just enough money to get a train ticket somewhere. I visited my family living in District 10, where they found it akward to be together after all we've been through. But still, they accept me. After living there for a few months, I knew some of my family silently hated me, especially Rory. They were so close to Prim, yet I killed her. I didn't want to be a burden on their happy lives so I decided to go back to District 12, live off in the woods. My mother scraped up enough money for me to get there. About five months ago, I made it here. For about two months, I was able to live in the woods, just by myself doing fine. When I went to visit my old house, I saw that it got ruined in the bombing, so I went back to the woods. But I got stopped by workers. no one was allowed to go in unless they had special permission, which you could have had. So, for the other three months, I've been around, hardly passing by, living in deserted shacks. Each day, I would always try to get the strength to visit you, but I never could do it. So I was living those dragging days, until I bumped into you today, which got me here", he concludes. That explains most why he is here, but he left out the part about the ring.

I narrow my eyes at him. "What about the ring?" I ask. Maybe I am acting childish about it, but I can't help it. Something insie of me is burning.

He looks away from my gaze. "That moment when I realized that I didn't love Arcial, I bought this expensive ring, because I was going to propose to you, but I chickened out each time. I knew I would never marry you, but I kept it ever since, so remind me of you. And it gave me hope, as if I actually did have a chance with you. Since the day on the Reaping, I wanted to tell you that I loved you and wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, but finally after these six years, I have just now".

My eyes tear up, from sappiness and guilt. He never loved another woman and forgot about me. That ring wsa ment for me. If he hadn't chickened out, I could have been living happily at this moment with him, but instead I am with Peeta. What am I saying? I love Peeta, no matter what. Nothing and noone will ever change that. Peeta will always be mine.

Gale's POV "Gale...I am so sorry", she says. She launches into my arms, trembling from sobs as she cries herself out.

"It's okay, Catnip. You didn't know", I tells her. I She shakes my head and looks up into my eyes.

"Sorry, sorry for everything", she apoligize to me.

As I see her face glow in the florecent light, she looks stunning. Never have I ever had the hugest urge to kiss her at any moment than I have now. Before I know it, my lips are inching towards hers.

Katniss' POV

We hold eachother's gaze for a while. Slowly his mouth begins to move closer to mine, without knowing what is happening, mine mimicks. His lips are familiar, reminding me of the kiss I shared with him in the woods, after I won the seventy-fourth hunger games. Our lips move perfectly in movement.

A low moan escapes his mouth as he we deepen the kiss. He presses his body against mine, as he holds my waist against his torso. I pull him down by the neck.

I can't be doing this, I am with Peeta! We are married. Just as I let go of Gale's grasp, I hear a loud crash.

Peeta's POV Finally I am done dinner, after and hour or two of hard work. Taking off my oven mitts, I pick up the tray with all three of our meals and head upstairs.

"Katniss, Gale! Dinner is ready!", I call out. I check the guest room and don't find them. After checking a few rooms I end up heading towards my room. I don't want to drop on their conversation. So, I press my ear against the door to see if they are talking. Silence.

Slowly, turn the knob and open the door, my eyes wide and mouth wide aswell.

Gale and my wife kissing in our bedroom. Gale moans as they kiss, the scene sickens me but I am too frozen to move. After a couple of seconds, Katniss releases and shoots her hand with the ring at Gale's face, pushing him away.

Seconds before, my fingers release the grip of the plate. Right as she lets go of Gale's lips and body, she turns her gaze to me, so does Gale. The plate smashes on the ground with a loud crash.

"Peeta, Im sorr-", Katniss attempts to make things better, Nothing can change it. She kissed Gale, there is no way she can explain herself out of that. Before I know it, my feet move and I run away from the scene, locking myself into the bathroom.

When I see the plate that is shattered into a million pieces, I can't help but notice how similar it is to my heart.

Gale's POV Just as Peeta runs off, I notice Katniss' hand infront of my face. A more beautifal dimond and silver ring with tints of gold on her finger,what is that there for? Then it hits me, she is married to Peeta, I just kissed Peeta's wife. What have I done?
