"Why on earth did he have to come back here?!" I mumbled as I paced across my room, running my hands though my tousled brown hair as I did so. Any time but now. He had had years to come and apologize for what he did. But sometime leaving thing four god damn years is too much. How could he possibly think I would forgive him for what he had done?

It wasn't enough for him that my father was shot in the war. Or that an fourteen year old me was left to raise my sister and help my mother. No he just had to rub it in by revealing that he was leaving us. That all my father had died for was suddenly pointless to him and he just wanted to give up leave. To fight abandon all hope of life getting better.

I was drawn out of my thoughts by a knock at the door, which I had slammed shut in my anger.

"Go away Peeta" I yelled, expecting it to be him behind the door, probably worried it was something he had done to offend me that had caused my rage. Of course though he hadn't, I just couldn't talk to him right now. Everything between us had never been something you could call simple. Every time I talked to him it was clear how much he wanted to say something, though every time he didn't. Things were slowly getting worse between the two of us. I could so how emotionally draining all this was on him. I kept wondering how long it would be before he simply left and let time take it course, even if he could never bring himself to do it there would come a day when he would completely break down. We had all thought about it, were all counting days, watching for signs, all of us for the same reason, to know when this torment would be over, well all but one of us. And I defiantly didn't expect to hear his voice on the other side of them door.

"It's not Peeta Katniss" Finnick replied, his tone of voice still calm despite the events of the evening. I walked over to the door and opened it, seeing just Finnick stood in the door way, waiting. "Can I come in?" he asked, I responded by moving aside.

"I am really okay Finn" I reassured as I closed the door behind me.

"Really because your little rage at Peeta says otherwise" he explained, his expression curious.

"It's just Gale coming back is a shock" I lied, no wanting to worry him. I hadn't told anyone about what happened between me and Gale. Anyone. "Any way shouldn't you be the one having a fit as you broke the one rule that the famous Finnick O'Dair actually has?" I asked, trying to shift the focus of the conversation from me to him. His face suddenly fell, running his hand over his face, making it clear I had hit a nerve with my comment.

"It won't happen again" he mumbled, refusing to look at me and instead choosing a wall. His looked completely devastated and horrified like he had just committed some heinous crime. He sank onto my bed shifting his gaze from the wall to the red carpet.

"We both know it will" I told him as I sat down next to him. "Just like it happened to soldiers in the war it will happen to you" I added, knowing that I was hitting everything he hated about his life on the head but it needed to be said. The sooner he came to peace with the idea the better. I expected him to flip at my words but instead he simply nodded.

"Neither of us had a particularity good run have we?" he asked, turning his head to look at me.

"Things always get worse before they get better" I tried, hoping to cheer him up but my words having little effect.

"We both know that ain't true, things will get a lot worse and then they will stay bad, once a black cloud finds you it isn't moving away, it's found it's home right with you" he explained gravely. His words brought home a sense of reality of me, pointing out that I wasn't fooling anyone. Our lives sucked, and we both knew that. Though at least when this was over I would still have Prim and Mum, Johanna would have Lily and Peeta would have Jane. All Finnick would have is the three of us, no one else left who cared about him.

"There's always hope" I reasoned, trying to reassure myself as much as Finnick.

"Hope isn't going to take away sins from your life, it's not a cure it a small plaster, allows us to ignore the things that matter" he whispered, emotion seeping into his voice.

"No" I cried at that moment, knowing that this couldn't go on. Finnick words stirring something deep inside me that made me want to fight. "You're letting yourself ignore the things that matter" I told him matter a factly like the whole thing was so obvious.

"You mean her?" he asked confused, though both of us knew exactly who 'her' was.

"Yeah, she really needs someone right now" I told him.
"She had Peeta I'm sure she will be fine" he told him like I was stupid for not understanding.
"You know that's not what I mean, you only have a short amount of time so why don't you actually deal with your feeling before...before." I stumbled over the last words, unsure of how to put it.

"Before I slip up?" he asked, anger bubbling to the surface.

"Yes. No!, you know what I mean" I tried to explain, though my words only seeming to hurt him more.

"I know what you mean very well" he exclaimed as he stood up and headed for the door, opening it walking out.

"Just think about it!" I yelled down the hall as he disappeared round the corner. It was ironic that when he had come in it had been me in a rage and now the table had completely flipped.

Odestalovebaby I hope this chapter answers your question as to why Katniss hates Gale. I don't really belive you need a reason to hate the idiot but Katniss has one.
