Hell just arrived
My eyes tried to open as I felt his gentle touch of his hands on my cheek but this moment was so perfect, so real. I didn't want to let it go. Peeta and I never had time alone anymore. We were on mom and dad duty all day long. I felt like our children were going to burst in and ruin the moment. I guess that was there job though.
"Katniss" said a voice only it wasn't Peeta's. It was a voice I hadn't heard in years. I let my eyes shoot open to revel him. Gale. He smiled uneasily at my glare. I quickly jumped out of bed. I sloshed into my bed robe and walked silently towards him. My thoughts were out of control. Why the hell is he here! He better have a damn good explanation why I shouldn't rip his head off. He has been gone. Without a single word for years!
"Gale. Why are you here." I sneered. His puzzled expressions made me bite my tough. I didn't want the kids to hear, more importantly for Peeta to. He didn't need to know Gale was here. Gale scratched his head.
"What's with the expression?" he asked. I looked down shaking my head. What happened since he was away did he get hijacked to?
"What, you don't remember anything?" I hissed. Again he had that puzzled expression.
"What are you talking about?" he asked innocently.
"You killed prim." I said trying to get the word out in the right order. It still hurt me to think of my innocent little sister that got bombed. It hurt worse to think of how it was gale that killed her. It was gale that killed my sister. His face dropped. "What did you think after time I would forgive you? Your unbelievable" I nearly yelled.
"Katniss I didn't." He said holding my shoulders. I shook his hands off.
"Then who else built a bomb in thirteen?" I demanded. I looked into his eyes. He opened his mouth but said nothing. "That's what I thought." I yelled. I turned to walk away. His cold hands wrapped around my arms dragging me back. "Gale let go," I almost screamed.
"Katniss if it was my bomb I never knew it was being used for that." He said. I didn't want to believe him but I saw the truth in his eyes. I sighed.
"You change that she's dead because of you, gale." I breathed. His eyes met mine.
"I wish I could." He sighed hopelessly.
"I hoped you would say that." I said. "So you never really told me why you came back." I acknowledged. He looked away. " Well…" I encouraged. He looked up at me. I knew that look on his face. It was there when he talked about running away or when he kissed me for the first time- I stopped there. No I thought this couldn't be happening! I was married to Peeta. I loved Peeta.
"Katniss. I came back for you." He cooed. Neither of us were prepared for my reaction. He leaned in and his soft lips touched mine. My whole mind felt like it was taken over when my arms wrapped around his neck crushing him closer to me. My hand mangled through his hair as his hands knotted it's way through mine. I broke off listening to the sound I had thought I heard. Very faint but getting dimmer was Peeta calling my name. I ran to the bathroom and pulled a brush through my mangled hair as much as I could before I ran back into the room to see the door swing open and Peeta standing there in shock. Frozen.
