'You're okay!' I ran across the hospital and dived into Gale's arms, he lifted me off my feet and spun me around.
'Worried about me I see.' I punch him in the arm and look around, there's no one there except for Katniss and Johanna who both seem to be asleep so I pull Gale closer and press my lips against his.
'Of course I was worried, I can't lose someone else.' He laughed and leaned down to kiss me back, I pulled away and looked him in the eyes. 'Coin wants me to go out in the field. She wants me to start training tomorrow and then I can finally leave this hovel.'
'What made her change her mind? I thought she said you were too dangerous.' I looked away from him and he cupped my face in his hands and pulled me closer.
'Katniss she tried to reason with that man instead of killing him, if... if it were me...'
'You'd have killed him; she wants to use you as a weapon?' he lowered his voice and I nodded causing him to sigh. He glanced over at Katniss and I glared at him.
'Are you seriously thinking about her right now?'
'She was shot and now Coin wants to send you out in the field because of that, I can't lose either of you.'
'She doesn't love you Gale, you know that right? I'm right here.' He looked away and stared at the floor. 'Something happened didn't it? Gale... Gale answer me.'
'I kissed her.' I pushed him away and shook my head tears forming in my eyes. He reached for my hand that was now covering my mouth since I was on the verge of vomiting, I slapped it away.
'Jay please I...'
'You knew, you knew how hard it was for me to let you in since he... he... and then you... you son of a bitch. YOU SON OF A BITCH!' I punched him square in the face and he went sprawling backwards onto Johanna's bed who woke up screaming and punched him before realising who it was.
'Oh my god Gale, I'm sorry I didn't...' She didn't get the chance to finish her sentence before I jumped onto of Gale flattening him to floor and punching him repeatedly in the face.

'WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!' Haymitch ran into the room and pulled me off of Gale, I was screaming at the top of my lungs and stared scratching at his arms trying to get him to put me down. 'Jay what are you doing?!' Johanna jumped from her bed and helped Gale to his feet.
'It was my fault Haymitch, not Jay's. I... I deserved it.' Haymitch raised his eyebrows but put me down, I shoved him away and glared at Gale. Johanna walked forward and reached out to me but I pushed her hand away and ran from the room sobbing.


I lay curled up on my bed my arms wrapped around my legs with tears pouring down my face. It was hours before I heard a knock on the door, I ignored it knowing that it was probably Gale coming to apologize.
'Jay, are you in there? it's me, Johanna.' I walk over the door wiping the tears from my eyes and open it just a crack.
'Now's not a good time Johanna, can you come back later?' I whispered trying to keep my voice sounding normal.
'No, I'm not supposed to leave the hospital but I went out to give Gale and Katniss some alone time.' I let out an involuntary sob and fell away from the door covering my face with my hands; Johanna pushed the door open and stared at my confused until a look of understanding crossed her face. She ran across the room and wrapped her arms around me as I sank to the floor.
'You love him don't you?' She whispered in my ear.
'I don't know, I miss Thresh and he was so nice but then he went off and kissed Katniss and he knew how scared I was to let him in and... and...' I started sobbing even harder and she pulled me in closer as I cried into her shoulder.

I try to forget about Gale for the next few days as I dive into my training. Sweat pour


ed down my face as I ran around the small field that they'd cleared for the soldiers.
'Faster, you call that running?!' I glared at the trainer and kept going pushing myself even harder. Someone came running up next to me and I turned my head to see Gale panting as he tried to keep up with me.
'Slow down, we need to talk.'
'I'm busy Gale; you're not even supposed to be training now. Why don't you go and design some bombs like you're supposed to.'
'Jay, please can't we talk.'
'Nope.' I sped up and left him behind, I looked back quickly and saw that he'd stopped and looked absolutely miserable but I couldn't care less.


I either spend my time practicing or talking to Peeta. I sat on the edge of his bed as he decorates a cupcake.
'What's it going to look like?'
'A flower hopefully.' He turns the cupcake towards me and I see the outline of pink petals on the top.
'Looks good, wish I could eat it.'
'Why can't you? You're the one I'm making it for.'
'Diabetic, could kill me.'
'I can't imagine not being able to eat cake.' I shrugged my shoulders and he laughed. 'I heard they're letting you out,'
'They have to assess me first which means lots of training and listening to orders and I'm not too good at the second one.'
'You could just pretend, put up with it as long as you have to then do whatever you want once they trust you.'
'I highly doubt that they will ever trust me. I'm just their weapon.'

Another chapter down yay! I was actually sad to break them up but I was just following the storyline of the book and I thought this was how she'd react. Please Review and Favourite it means a lot :)
