Chapter 6

Gale's perspective

I held Katniss in my arms. She felt so right to be there. I didn't want to let go of her. She stayed in my arms and also didn't let go of me also. Her body curved with the right places on my chest and the warmth radiating from her head gave me a fuzzy feeling inside. She pulled away from me a little and stared at me with her hypnotizing gray eyes. I leaned in trying to get one of her mesmerizing kisses into this moment. Just, before my lips touched her soft rose like ones, she puts her hand to her mouth and my lips pressed against that instead. I was a little shocked but her halt of this moment. She shook her head giving me the sign of no. I stiffened a little and I think my face turned red. I couldn't believe it, she said no to me. I doubt she ever declined a kiss from the lover by of hers but I didn't say that. In fact, I didn't say anything I just held her in my hands, staring at her beautiful face. She looked up again and smiled at me, I felt happy but then Haymitch came. Katniss pulled away from me and that made me get mad again. Haymiych is trying to talk to Katniss but she is just ignoring him. I smile. Haymitch is really trying to talk to her and I give him a glare. I figured I knew what he was talking about and I didn't want Katniss to know she would just get hurt. She is still ignoring him and I am now starting to get nervous. Then the words come out of him. "It's about Peeta." That's all it takes to get her sprinting down the hall to Haymitch's room leaving me behind in her dust. She turned around and looked at me but never even bothered to stop or anything just turned her head and ran. I watched her fading figure disappear as I turned around to head to my room. She has always loved him hasn't she? Yeah, I figured so I guess the beach side scene was true and they were not acting. I knew just as she was in the cave with him, or when he told her the story about her, or when she pulled out the berries, or when he almost died, or when he was there to comfort her when I wasn't, well it doesn't matter though does it cause either was she loves him. I walked into the room and slammed the door. I collapsed on my bed and kept thinking. I don't care how much she loves him. Feelings can change can't they and she has said she hasn't chosen him. I know that lover boy does love her you can see it in his eyes. It is disgusting how he tries to take care of her every time he acts as if she can't take care of herself. I love her too, though and I didn't want to lose her too but, I didn't fall over her as if I had no other life. It was pathetic as how Peeta was acting. I knew that I loved her and I knew that I loved her more than the little lover boy of her. I knew that some how I had to get things back on track with me and Katniss. I knew that I would get Katniss and I won't go with any other way. I was going to get my Katniss back no matter what happends.
