Hi everyone another chapter is here! I wrote the last one twice because what I wrote first turned Gale really evil. But then I decided that he's not the evil cousin but an over-protective cousin so I hoped that was better. If you didn't realise Katniss and Gale have basically declared war against Delly and Peeta but don't worry Everlark will come! As always Read & Review!

Katniss POV

I kind of guessed that it was something like him cheating on me with her but I never would have guessed what the true reality was. When I reach the bakery I bump into Melissa and she frowns when she sees the rage in my eyes, "what happened, Katniss, you were laughing before I sent Peeta up. Did he do something?"

"He's an asshole that's what's wrong," I say trying to step around her but she follows my movement. "Excuse me I'd like to go home."

"What makes my son an asshole?" She asks, "what did he do?"

"We were going out, but turns out his part was completely fake because he was with Delly and they were planning to make me seem worse than Delly when around you so that you'd except Delly if it was between us two." I explain and emotion hits me like a ton of bricks and I silently begin to sob, and Melissa rubs my back.

"Don't you worry, I'll sort him out, and anyway Delly is a bitch and from what I've seen of you today you certainly aren't," she reassures me and I feel a smile creep on to my face. "She's banned from this place anyway."

"Melissa, I was wondering, if it would make life easier if we had Gale since we are family and we don't want to burden you with our problems," I say trying to let Gale live with me and my family is step one of our plan we planned it actually for Delly but it seems Gale was thinking about Peeta all the time.

"I don't see why not but you talk to your mum and see what she says because Gale is off school again on Monday and needs someone with him," she explains. "But I'm sure it would do him good being with family."

"Thank you, Melissa. I'll get my mum to contact you this evening," I say walking out of the bakery, hiding my smirk. When I turn off the street of the bakery I run home because I want as much time to complete our plan as possible.

Peeta POV

I would've gone after her but Gale decided to freak me out, he edges towards the end of my bed so he's closer to me, "I can't believe you, I was astonished when you first brought it up because I may have slept with nearly every girl at Mockingjay High but I let them down easy before moving on. I never cheated on anyone, I can't believe ypu, to my own cousin."

"She only became your cousin this morning and you knew about it on when you were in the hospital, why does it change things?" I ask, "why?"

"Because she, believe it or not, is family and I think I probably only have three members of my family who actually care about me now and two I've never met, you don't seem to understand, once they're family everything changes. Katniss let her . . ."

He trails off when mum walks in, "Katniss got home and her mum rang me up, they were wondering whether you'd be more comfortable around family, I said it would help you a lot and I told them about next Monday and Mrs Everdeen said she'll let Katniss have another day off. Is that okay with you, if you go and live there? I will visit you probably on Sunday, if you want, but I need to know from you."

"Oh yes, of course, I would love to live with family, I hate to be a burden to this family," he says in delightful tone but I can still hear slight rage. "When are they coming?"

"In half an hour, so Peeta you need to carry him down stairs when he's got all his stuff together and in his bag," says my mum leaving the room and so I start to pick up Gale's stuff from around my room and put it in his bag before carrying him downstairs, which was very annoying since we were arguing, and sat him on the couch.

Katniss POV

Mum and Prim were already back when I got back from visiting Gale and when I suggested him staying at our house mum went and phoned Melissa straight away, that was half an hour ago now and we are in my mum's car on our way to pick him up. Prim's jumping up and down with excitement in the passenger seat and I'm seat in the back, telling them everything we did today and what he likes and doesn't like and even what he's scared of.

Gale POV

After Peeta put me down on the sofa, he rolled my wheelchair in and left, it's probably best otherwise he might've died because of all the anger in me despite my concussion. I've been waiting here for half an hour and a car has rolled up onto the drive of the bakery and I eagerly want to see the owner.

After a few minutes there's a knock on the door and I see Melissa walk past the living room door to answer it. I hear some muttering and then a girl who looks about ten with her blonde hair in two braids, comes running into the room and hesitates for a second before wrapping her arms around me. This must be Prim.

A woman with the same blonde hair as Prim walks in and Prim let's go of me so she can hug me as well, and then over the woman's shoulder I see Katniss walk in. She hasn't changed what she is wearing, it's still the jeans with a speckled pink t-shirt and maroon jacket, but it suits her. It's a shame as well as a reward having her as my cousin, I wanted to date her as soon as I saw her but now it just sounds disgusting, but it's good to have someone to look out for.

The woman, who must be my auntie Willow, let's go of me and I expect Katniss to give me a hug but she just sits down next to me and asks, "are you ready? Have you got everything?"

"Let me just have a look," I say looking into the bag and realising my phone isn't there. "No, my phone must still be in Peeta's room."

"I'll get it," Katniss says and she gets up and exits the room.

Katniss POV

I walk up the stairs to Peeta's room and knock just in case anyone is in there but there's no answer so I just walk in. I see Gale's phone on the bedside table and go to grab it but see an envelope with my name on it underneath it so I pick it up and hide it in my jacket and exit his room with Gale's phone.

When I get there everyone is in the hallway, including Gale in his wheelchair, and I say goodbye to Melissa and so does everyone else and I push Gale outside to the car and help him into the car and get in myself. My mum starts the car and we drive home and I'm clutching the envelope to my chest so that no one else knows about it.
