Chapter 6
I scream when I see the sight of Gale but, I couldn't deny I missed him. When I give Gale a hug, I see his grey eyes watering. I ask, "Are you alright?" He responds," I just filed for divorce with Madge and its official." I couldn't believe the words he was saying. Before responding, Gale says, "Peeta is trapped in the Capitol and the only way to get him out is by knowing you love me instead of him." For some apparent reason, I really didn't love Peeta; right now he was pointless person to me. What… is happening? "Gale, I need you, you're my all, Gale… be mine?!" After I say this, Gale kisses me. I'm about to pull away until I hear a gun shot and automatically I run out the door and find Peeta dead. I turn around and see Gale smile. Before I can do anything, I scream!
I suddenly wake up. Peeta holds me and asks me what happened. I really didn't know what was happening to me but I realize it was just a dream. I love Peeta and nothing is going to change that. I tell him all that occurred in the dream, from Gale to his death. Peeta tells me with a hug, "Maybe today we should definitely go apartment searching." I didn't know at first what he was talking about but, I knew it was right if we lived together because then we could comfort each other from all the nightmares we would get. I respond, "I would love to have our own place together but, I have to ask my mom." We talk for a bit and head downstairs. I walk to my mom and ask her, 'Mom, can Peeta and I live in our own apartment since we already graduated?" My mom and Prim give us a weird look and say, "Since you're now 21 and already have a job, I think it's acceptable for you to live with Peeta. Have fun!" Peeta thanks my mom and we head out to look for our new home.
After hours of searching with a salesperson, we find the perfect place and sign all the papers and pay the first 2 months of rent. Peeta and I run home and pack up and say our goodbyes. We get to the apartment and gather all our things as we walk to a new way of life.
