DISCLAIMER! I don't own the Hunger Games. All rights go to Suzanne Collins, Lionsgate, etc.
Finally! The bombing's stopped! I thought it would never end. A bomb would go off every couple of hours so that we would have to stay in the bunker for a couple of days. But it's over!
Rory and I had a bet with Gale about when it would end. As usual, Gale was right. But since we live in Thirteen now, we didn't have any extra food to bet. I guess in our case, that's a good thing! Rory was still upset about losing. I don't blame, Gale's almost never wrong! I wish Katniss would listen to him more often. If they would stop arguing, things would be better for her. It would probably keep her mind off of Peeta.
As soon as we left the bunker, Katniss and Finnick (and possibly Gale, I don't know for sure, but I think so) were taken aside. They're probably going to shoot more propos. They wouldn't want the districts to think that the Mockingjay was dead. Right now I'm in our new compartment. I helped the patients back to the hospital and then was sent to this compartment to put Buttercup back. There's no window so he now has a litter box. My mother's still at the hospital with the patients.
Rory just came by to see if my compartment was different than his. It's not. While he was here, we talked about the war. And some other, um, awkward stuff.
"Do you think it will be over soon?" I asked.
"Doubt it. We still have to get control of Two. And a few of the other districts are still causing a bit of trouble. Once all that's out of the way, we take the Capitol. But that will be extremely hard. Whenever all of that's completed, the war will end," Rory replied.
"How do you know all of that?"
"Gale. Doesn't Katniss tell you?" he asked.
"No, Katniss tries to protect me from everything. It was so bad back in Twelve, but now it can be a bit annoying. She can't be actually protect me from anything but she can not tell me what's going on. And she does. Or doesn't. Or, um, you know…"
"I know what you mean," he laughed.
I laughed with him.
"So, you think Gale and Katniss will get together?" Rory asked.
"What? I, um, well I know she loves him. But she also loves Peeta. She seems extremely confused about her feelings. I don't know what she's going to do. Gale, on the other hand, would get with her the first chance he got. If the bombing and the games didn't happen, she would probably be with him. What do you think?"
"I think they like each other, but Katniss will end up with Peeta. If he gets rescued, that is," he stated.
"Why do you think that?"
"Intuition? I don't know. I just feel like that's what will happen."
We talked for a bit more, then he realized he should get back to his compartment so that his family wouldn't worry.
"I guess I'll see you at dinner," he said.
"Yup. We'll get to watch and see which one of us was right about Gale and Katniss."
"What about us?"
"What?"
"What about us, Prim? I was wondering what we are. Friends or more than that?" he asked.
"I… I… I don't know." I replied.
"That's okay. There's been a lot going on lately, not much time to think about it. You don't have to answer right away. Just think about it. I better go, see you later," he said as he walked away.
See! I told you it was awkward! At least he didn't want an answer then. I don't know what I would of done. Dinner is going to be extremely awkward! Rory's my best friend. I didn't ever think of him as anything else. But, maybe he could be. We do spend most of our time together. He made me feel better when Katniss was in the arena. And there was the firebombing of Twelve. When he
I'm sorry, I'm still not ready to write about it. Soon, I promise! Just not now. Let's just say that he comforted me then. No, no, nothing bad happened.
I'm still confused about my feelings towards him, but I'll eventually figure it out. Maybe Katniss can help! She'll tell me what I should do! I'll go see here n- No, I won't. She won't be able to help. She can't even decide if she loves Peeta or Gale more, she would know nothing about how to help me. She's too busy anyway. Maybe I can talk to Delly, she's always so nice. When Katniss wasn't around, she would help me out. Yeah, I think I'll do that after dinner. Speaking of dinner, I should probably go eat. Write in you later!
