A/N: Hey people that read my story! Thank you guys for reviewing and also for reading. Anyways enjoy! (Oh this is Delly POV I wanted to do someone different for a change.) Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with the hunger games trilogy.
Chapter 37
Some things wrong here but I can't put a finger on it. Gale was looking at Katniss, while she's looking at Peeta, and Peeta is looking at the floor with his fist clenched. He's mad but why? "Delly I want to apologize to you for what I said earlier. I love you like a sister and I was kind of being a jerk and an over protective dad and I'm really sorry." Peeta whispered in my ear, I smiled at him. I gave him a hug, why would I ever stay mad at my best friend and this is Peeta were talking about the sweetest person in the world. "You're forgiven." I said and kissed his cheek. When I stopped hugging him I noticed that Katniss and Gale were not here anymore. Peeta sighed and clenched his fist. "Where are they?" I asked Peeta, he looked at me. "The place where they always go." He said. The woods. It felt like we were sixteen again. Just this time we actually talked to the best hunters in twelve. I took Peeta' hand. "Let's go to the bakery." I said he looked at me again and I could see the hurt inn his eyes when I mentioned the bakery. He nodded his head and I followed him. I feel bad for this boy. The baker's son, the victor, the lover, the father, The Mockingjay's biggest fan. He went through a lot, first he went sixteen years pursuing Katniss Everdeen, and then he went through the Hunger Games not once but twice! Twice! He got captured by the Capitol, and then found out his whole family was dead. He was my first crush, believe it or not. I looked at him. Like I said he went through a lot and I'm not saying Katniss is a bad person but-but… Oh just be quiet Delly! "Why aren't you smiling? I miss my perky, blonde haired best friend." Peeta said I smiled and blushed lightly. "There we go." He said which made me blush more. When we got to the bakery I was shocked. "Oh my God." I said and gasped. "Yeah it's horrible but soon enough I'll be able to fix it make it better." Peeta said I smiled and ran inside still holding Peeta' hand. "Delly why are we running?" He asked me. "Because silly let's explore." I said. I knew that this might bring back memories for Peeta and I especially Peeta, but It'll be worth it. We went farther too where the kitchen in the bakery. Well now it's just ashes but whatever. As we got closer I looked at Peeta he looked pained but stayed firm. His beautiful blue eyes were not happy instead they were a sad blue color, a depressed blue. I looked away afraid that I might make my best friend uncomfortable. I looked straight ahead and saw a book. Peeta let go of my hand and went to where the book was. When he picked it up he blew the coal and dust that was on the book. I coughed a little. He gasped when he saw the cover of the book. He was frowning. I went to where he was standing and looked over his shoulder to where the book was.
'Mellark Family secret recipe book' was what the cover called. Peeta gulped and opened it. It was not burned. Yeah it did have dust and coal but other than that it was perfect. Peeta touched the cover and smiled slightly. A few minutes later we walked out of the bakery and to where Katniss and Gale would always go. The woods. The life beyond 12. The life of the hunters and the brave. When we were standing where the fence used to be I started feeling a little excited and scared. It was quiet until I heard that my heart was beating fast. "Are we going to go into the woods?" I asked Peeta he shrugged. "I don't want to go. But if you want to you can go." He said, I could definitely tell that there was tension so I tried lighting the mood. "Am I hearing what I think I'm hearing? That Peeta Mellark, the victor of two hunger games, the baker's son, is to chicken to go into the woods?" I said Peeta laughed lightly and nodded in agreement. "I'm scared of what I'm going to see. Not the animals I've seen worse but of what…" he trailed of when Katniss came running from the woods and Gale looking happy following her. They stopped in front of us. Peeta was gripping the book harder. We all stood there in silence. Not just any silence the damn awkward silence. "Awkward!" Peeta and I both said softly. "Well I should go I don't think Haymitch is the greatest babysitter in the world. Katniss if you want you can stay and talk. I really don't care, but I expect to see you tonight." He said and turned to leave. Peeta knew something happened between Katniss and Gale. "Wait! Peeta!" Katniss yelled and ran to him. This time I turned to Gale. Nothing happened between them. I kept telling myself. Yes I know I may sound naïve but I just- Don't think that! I put on a smile like I always do no matter what and looked up and met Gale's beautiful grey eyes. I blushed lightly as he smiled to me and took a hold of my hand. "Let's go." He said. Is it true? Am I really in love with being in love? NO! I like Gale he is sweet, and caring. Not to mention his good looks and all but was Peeta right? No! He wasn't and I can bet him all the money in the world that I am not in love with being in love!
Gale POV
Katniss. That was the only thing that was going through my mind. My plan might be actually working! I turned and looked at Delly she kept looking back not really interested on what she was thinking I asked her. "What ya' thinking about?" She turned to me. "You wouldn't care. And it's not like you ever did." She said barely audible, I ignored her. Delly was quiet the whole time we walked to the hovercraft it was weird she usually talked. We were getting on the hovercraft when someone laughed. "Peeta stop talking to them they don't understand you" It was Katniss. I turned around and saw that Peeta was holding his daughter and Katniss was holding her son. I got mad and took Delly' hand. "Maybe we should stay they won't miss us in Thirteen. I said to her she smiled. "Sure."
Katniss POV
Nothing happened between us. We were just fighting till we heard Peeta and Delly talking. But why did Gale have that stupid smirk on his face when I ran to Peeta? Peeta and I were taking a walk around twelve even though they are still rebuilding. When I noticed that Peeta didn't have that book in his hands. Well of coarse not he's holding Lily. But something was wrong.
A/N: I am so sorry about this chapter It is horrible! I might not have gotten the POV good. And I might have made Gale a little like a jerk. But anyways thank you guys for reviewing and please review even though this chapter is bad, but please review and I'll try to update soon!
