Gale.

I walk away with my heart sinking. I'm leaving Katniss. I'm leaving her forever.

"Gale!" she calls out. "You can't go!"

"I have to," I say. "I love you, but you love Peeta. I just want you to be happy. I just want you to have an easy life."

"Fine," I whisper. "Leave. Just go and leave me here. Leave me with my husband who I don't know if I love or not. Leave me here with my kids who absolutely adore you. Leave me here with my insane self."

I ignore her and keep walking. She stops and I get onto the road.

I finally reach the hotel. It's about dinner time, so I grab a sandwich from a table where you can buy food. I also get a bag of chips and a bottle of water. I give them the money and walk up to my room.

I open the door and pack up my things. Because today was my first day here, I don't have much to pack, and it goes by quickly. I eat the food as fast as I can.

I leave the room and lock it. I go down the elevator because I have my bags with me now. I go to the counter and give them my keycard.

"Sir, are you leaving now?" an employee asks me. I nod. "Don't you need a car?"

"I think I'll just walk," I say. I want time to finish seeing my old home. He nods and I go.

I get outside and see Peeta and Katniss standing there.

Katniss.

Gale comes outside and I try to put on a happy face, but it doesn't work.

"What are you doing here?" he asks politely.

"I thought you might want a ride to the airport," I explain. "I brought my car." Peeta doesn't say anything.

"Thanks," He says. We walk through the parking lot and get to my car. I get in the driver's seat and he sits in the passenger's seat. Peeta decides to sit in the back.

Gale.

We get into the car and it's very awkward. Why did she have to come? Why did she have to remind me that I'm leaving the woman I love? And why did Peeta have to come with her?

Katniss.

I start driving and we quickly reach an intersection. Our light is green and I drive through. After the rebellion, a lot of roads have been added. Because there are more roads, there are now more intersections.

"What's it like in District 2?" Peeta asks.

"It's very busy. Many of the people live in fear. They think that the rebels will come back and kill them for working with the Capitol," Gale explains.

"That's horrible," Peeta says. It is horrible. After all these years, people are still terrified, but I can't say that I'm not scared either. The Capitol could come back. They all hated me with a passion.

"I wish that we could all just relax and forget the past," I admit.

"Yeah," says Gale, as Peeta says, "Me too."

We pass a lot of intersections and see people walking by. People with no worries. People with no problems. People I'm jealous of.

"That would be great," I say.

"Where are Orion and Clara?" Gale asks.

"Clara is at a friend's house and Orion is at a daycare," Peeta explains. "They wanted us to tell you that they say goodbye. They say that they'll really miss you and they wish that you didn't have to go."

"That's sweet," Gale says.

"Yep," Peeta agrees.

Gale.

I wish that none of this had ever happened. I wish that Katniss had never been reaped. She wouldn't be in love with Peeta. We could be together. We could be happy.

Peeta.

Wow. Gale is so awesome. He's leaving so that Katniss and I can be together. That is so awesome.

Katniss.

I wish that he didn't have to leave. I think I might actually love him.

Peeta.

I hate that there are so many intersections. They make so many traffic accidents possible. If there weren't as many roads that crossed over each other, than people wouldn't run into each other as much.

Gale.

I can't stop looking at her. She's so beautiful.

Her midnight black hair dances on her shoulders whenever she turns her head. I can see her grey and speckled eyes in the rearview mirror, and I'm captivated. We have the same eyes. We have the same hair. We have a lot in common. She loves him.

We get to the airport and I get out of the car. Peeta stays inside, but Katniss walks with me. We go inside and to the ticket counter. I buy a ticket to District 2.

I don't know why, but it would just be weird to go on a train. I guess it's because Katniss left to the Hunger Games, twice, on a train. It would just feel weird.

She walks me to the gate I have to go to. They tell us that my flight has been delayed, but Katniss has to go. She kisses me on the cheek, nearly causing me to- get this- cry. We say goodbye and she leaves. She tries to hide it, but she's crying too.

My Katniss is crying. I can count how many times I've seen her cry on one hand. My little Catnip.

Katniss.

We say goodbye and I turn to leave. I put my head in my hands and cry. I must look very strange, walking around with my head down, wiping away my tears, but I don't care.

I get to the parking lot and get in the car. Peeta sees me crying and immediately leans over and hugs me. He's so smart. He knows that kissing me wouldn't really help right now. He knows that I'm wounded right now.

He leans back and into his seat. I put the car in reverse and back out of the parking spot. I drive out of the parking lot and onto the street.

I drive forward. Our light is green. I drive forward. I was in the right. It's the other person's fault. I'll kill them. How dare they? My life was just patching itself up! What's wrong with them? I can't believe it!

I can barley see. My arm is hurt. Everything sounds weird. I can't feel my leg.

If they had been coming the other way, I wouldn't be as mad. I would want to kill them so much. They just had to come into the passenger's side. They just had to hit us. They just had to hit Peeta. And if I'm injured this bad, just imagine how hurt he is.

*Grabs trashcan lid* OKAY! YOU CAN THROW NOW!
