"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask him, the man who pretended to be my cousin after I got home from the Games. He could have passed too, but I'm pretty sure everyone knew the truth in District 13.

"Your mother called me, told me to come and get you, make sure you got home, soon." He says, unaffected by Christian standing right behind me. I feel him move to my side, wrap his arm around my waist.

"Katniss has been enjoying herself, why would her mother want anything less for her?" Christian asks him, forcing Gale to pay attention to him.

"I'm just doing what I was asked to do." He answers calmly. He looks at me again, "Are we leaving?"

"No!" I practically yell at him. Gale grabs my arm before Christian realizes it and drags me towards an exit, away from the eyes that have turned to us. I know Christian is right behind us, I don't think he'll let Gale get very far at all. I yank my arm away from him and turn to face my once upon a time best friend. "My mother hasn't cared about what I do in a long time, Gale, why would she now? And how the hell does she even know I'm here?"

"I guess Effie called her, does it matter? She's worried about you being here by yourself." He explains.

"She's fine and she's not by herself." Christian answers for me from behind Gale. He looks as though he towers over him because even though he's not as slender as Gale, he definitely has more muscles and I know he works out. I would think that one good punch and Gale would be knocked out. That's a horrible thing to think about the only person who really knew me for such a long time, but it's true nonetheless. "She's with me."

Gale turns around, "Exactly why her mother asked me to come and get her. She knows a woman you were with, someone you made go crazy apparently. According to Ms. Everdeen, you still take care of her medical bills."

"What?" Is all that can come out of my mouth. "What does my mother know about Christian? And seriously, what does she care if I go crazy, I already had a little in case she forgot about it."

"You were depressed, not crazy, there's a difference and she cares. Now would you just come on already, stop being so stubborn." Gale continues as if I were a child.

He tries to grab my arm again and this time Christian does stop him by grabbing his. "I don't think she wants to go with you, Mr. Hawthorne. I suggest you go back to her mother and tell her to call her daughter if she wants something from her."

"Listen, Grey, I don't know what you do with the women you're with, but Ms. Everdeen called me up and told me I have to make sure Katniss isn't to spend another night with you. I'm doing her a favor." Gale explains, as if that explains everything, pulling his arm free of Christian's.

"I still don't see why she cares; she didn't even stay with me more than a couple of days after Peeta died. Hell, I haven't even talked to her in the past two months. Tell her you saw me and that I wouldn't leave. I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time you lied to someone." I spit out.

Gale turns back to me, a hurt look on his face. It doesn't matter to me though; he hasn't been my friend for over four years. "Your mother wants you to go home."

"I don't really have a home anymore, Gale. I'm trying something new, met someone new, is that so bad? To move on with my life like you apparently have?" I ask him, moving to be next to Christian. He takes my hand in his and moves his body in front of mine again. I guess he likes to be the protector, which is fine by me at the moment.

"But he isn't right for you, that's why your mother sent me. What she told me of him, you need to get away from him now." He pleads with me. I look at Christian.

"Will you tell me what he's talking about?" I ask him quietly, looking him in the eyes.

He nods, "Yes, but not here. We can go to my office upstairs. Mr. Hawthorne, if you must, you may come up with us and hear what situation I'm sure her mother is talking about."

With a slight jerk of his head, Taylor is next to us in an instant. I have a feeling he wasn't far away, just unseen by me. The four of us make our way to an elevator in the main foyer. Taylor gets in last, making sure no one is following us. I don't doubt for a second though that they are all talking about us the instant we left.

I'm not surprised that Christian's office is on the top floor. There is a large waiting area with a huge receptionist desk revealed to us when the doors open. We walk through the dimly lit floor, Christian still holding my hand and rubbing my knuckles with his thumb. I wonder if it's a nervous habit.

When we arrive to his office, Taylor actually goes in first and turns on the lights, checking the room before the rest of us enter. He nods and stands in the corner while Christian goes to his desk and I take a seat on one of the chairs in front of it. Gale just stands in front of the huge window that overlooks the Capitol with his arms crossed over his chest. When it's lit up this way at night, it does look pretty.

"Alright, explain it to me so I can get Katniss back home where she belongs." Gale voices, turning to face us, well, me, since Christian's back is to him in the chair.

"I doubt Katniss will want to leave, even after I tell her." Christian states confidently. "What your mother said isn't a lie per se; I do still pay for Leila's medical bills. I pay for a few different women's, if they got injured while with me. You can understand how they would get injured, right, Katniss?"

I don't even have to think twice about it. Christian would feel guilty if he actually hurt someone, I don't doubt that. I just nod though.

"Right, so with Leila, she got a bit too attached. I let her go and she stalked me and my wife for a short time. I had her committed to a hospital for her own safety and she left it once. It was during that time that she came after my wife and when we caught her, I sent her to a better facility, with better doctors." He discloses to us, well, more to me.

"So, she went crazy because….?" I want him to really explain that way Gale can leave me alone.

"I suppose she was already mentally unfit to some degree, but she got obsessed and wanted me back, wanted to be with me and for me to love only her. At that time though, I was incapable of love, until I met my wife. Leila knew this; she was jealous and something snapped."

"See, Gale, so him paying someone's bills is actually a very nice thing he's doing. Tell my mother I'll be just fine." I get up and start for the door. Taylor goes to it to open when Gale talks again.

"But why would he be paying for injured women? And how is he injuring them? Why aren't you afraid of that?" He asks, questions for both Christian and I.

I turn around and Taylor goes back to where he was standing still. "Because I know that if Christian were to hurt me, it wouldn't be on purpose and if he hurt someone it's because he probably wasn't aware of it."

"Yeah right. How do you know he isn't beating the crap out of them and paying for it so they won't say anything?" He throws at us.

"Listen, if you must know, one woman I had sex with had a bad reaction to something we had used; she didn't know she was allergic to it. Another was because a nerve was inflamed and we didn't know the damage that was done until she was taken to a doctor. She needed physical therapy because of it and I pay for that as I had something to do with the injury. I haven't hurt anyone, Mr. Hawthorne, without making sure that they would be taken care of due to something that I may have done." Christian divulges honestly.

"Have you broken anyone, Mr. Grey?" Gale asks, with an emphasis on the mister.

"If you mean, has anyone broken any bones….yes, I think one woman broke her ankle because of the shoes she wore and she missed a step in my home. She landed badly and we took her to a hospital straight away. If you mean mentally, as I have already stated, Leila was already mentally unstable, we just didn't know beforehand." Christian has no reason to lie about any of it. I'm surprised that Gale hasn't asked more in depth questions, like as to why these women would be put in the position to get hurt. Of course, it could have been their position that hurt them, especially the one with the nerve damage.

"What about hearts, Mr. Grey, you can break a woman's heart too." Wow, I didn't think Gale would care about that.

"Besides Leila, I don't really know, Mr. Hawthorne, as most of the women I was with weren't meant for anything serious. I have only ever loved my wife and it seems that without planning on it, I am falling in love with Katniss." Christian reveals. He isn't embarrassed about it at all.

Gale's jaw drops; as mine does too I'm sure. Falling in love? Could I really be this lucky?
