This story will mostly be written in Gales P.O.V other than that hope you enjoy!
When we land in 12 I feel as though I could pass out. My mind is spinning I see Rory talking to Haymitch and they both look nervous. I feel someone tap my shoulder and turn around to see its Johanna she looks worried.
"Hey you're our leader so get your shit together don't show your weakness so much." She whispers. "I know I'm sorry I'll get it together."
I look past Johanna and see Haymitch signaling me over to him. "Listen Johanna make sure you know who stays out of trouble. I have to talk to Haymitch I'll meet you all in the morning."
she nods and walks out of the hovercraft as I make my way towards Haymitch I feel a speech coming on.
"Listen everyone is split up and are staying a different places lucky you you're staying with me." I give Haymitch a confused look. "Why can't I stay with my family?"Haymitch starts walking out of the hovercraft. "Your family's house is full plus we need to talk come follow me."
I roll my eyes and do what I'm told. After 3 years 12 still is a mess but its cleaned up better than what is was. Haymitch says not many people are living but will as so as its ready. "Me and Peeta share a house but he won't be there tonight he's staying with Delly" (who has been Peeta's friend before the games.)
Weird I thought Katniss and Peeta would be living together? That's when I hear it that sweet voice I've been dying to hear again Haymitch quick pulls me in front him and begins to whisper to me. "Listen I need you to pull your hood up and act like we barely know each other she can't you you're here yet now go one my Que."
I pull my hood up quickly and I hear walk right behind me and stops. "Haymich we need to talking right now!" Shit she knows its me should I turn around? Haymitch clears his throat. "Okay sweetheart just give me one second." Haymitch signals me to follow him with my back still turned to her he whispers."There is a building right behind me I need you to hide there and wait until I tell you to move." I shake his hand and begin to walk towards the building not daring to look back. That was a close one but why do I need to hide?
When I enter what used to be a house I quickly pull out one of my gadgets from my backpack which makes me able to hear what there saying its starts off with Katniss. "Haymitch who was that?" I knew she would know it was me. "That was no one just a messenger giving more info about the Paylor incident." Good call old man. "Oh, listen I know its crazy to even be thinking this is he here? Is he even coming at all I know this is his team Rory told me awhile ago." Katniss pauses for a moment to gather her thoughts if I were able to see her face I would know how to read her thoughts right away.
I hear Haymitch put his hand on her shoulder. "I don't know sweetheart is it so bad if he does show up?" I wonder if he knows I'm listening? Knowing Haymitch he should already know the answer to. "If he cared he would be here to help end this once and for all. Haymitch he makes me feel cold, he's a coward he's not the Gale I once knew." Haymitch grunts."Maybe he is on his way here and maybe he's closer than you think." Katniss laughs but she sounds more angry than ever. "He's not coming Haymitch and don't even bother recruiting him! If he wanted things to be done sooner he should've came back with me and Peeta, plus you! Gale never comes to even visit his family! I hate him for than it make me feel like a cold person even thinking about it!"
That's enough I need to show her I'm here! I'm about to run out. Then Haymitch asked the question I've been waiting to hear the answer to for a long time. "What about Prim? Do you still blame him for that?" I stop dead in my tracks after he asks that and wait for her answer. Katniss chokes "After you two started the investigation for her death I finally came clear that he didn't do it. But if they were his I hate him forever and I still hate him for it I just put all my anger towards him." I know she crying now I here her snuffle and the guilt hurts even more now. I never should've thought of those stupid bombs!
Haymitch and Katniss hug and she heads back to her house, I wait till its clear to walk up to Haymitch. "I have no idea why you didn't tell her I was here but I don't want to know cause I'm leaving she doesn't' want me here and I don't want to be here." Haymitch doesn't say anything so I start walking back to the hovercraft. On my way back the the hovercraft I don't watch where i'm going and run right into someone knocking us both to the ground quickly I get up the give them a hand. "Sorry about that here let me help you up." When I see his face I stand frozen in place. "Hey Gale its been a long time." Peeta grabs my hand and get up and I finally find my voice. "Yeah long time huh?" And we both shake hands.
