Hey everyone I am so sorry for not updating in what feels like forever, but now exams are finally done and its summer time! This means more frequent updates and hopefully longer chapters! I really hope you guys enjoy reading this chapter as much as I did writing it all for you guys! I hope you enjoy!
It has been over a week since I have been home from the hospital and things couldn't be better. Peeta and I have been re-planning our wedding and everything is going according to plan, it was all; perfect. Never in my life has anything been so … magical
Peeta and I had just spent a whole day planning the perfect ceremony. The flowers, décor, and just about everything else. I was so tired and Peeta already passed out when I came out of the shower so I tucked him into bed. I heard a pebble hit the window, but just thought it was the wind. It happened a few more time so I went and opened the window, boy wasn't I surprised.
Gale just standing there. In dress pants a shirt and tie. I closed the window immediately. I was shaking, I had this uncontrollable shakiness in my body, and I was immobilized.
The pebbles kept hitting the window and Peeta started to stir. 'Peeta wake up' I urged him in my mind. I could not speak, I could not move and I have to focus on just my breathing to make sure I didn't lose too much oxygen. Gale, not again. Peeta kept stirring.
"I always can't have Peeta fight my battles, I can do this." I whispered to myself. And with that I was up and opening the window again.
As soon as I did Gale started, "Katniss I'm so sorry. Let me just say one thing; we were both young when I first saw you, in the forest, alone. At first you were just another little girl trying to do things to impress me; I thought. But we bonded in a way I never have with anyone else. Even after being with a million other girls you're the one I compare them all to. You're the one that I think of when I'm with them. You are the one that is always on my mind. No one else, but you."
"Oh No, please no" I whispered
"Katniss I have been feeling so alone. I keep waiting for you, but you never come."
"Gale please no; get up and get away" I screamed
"Marry me Katniss; you never have to be alone. I love you and that's all I really know. This is our love story. And I love you."
I had enough I got up and went down stairs. I threw open the door and walked right up to Gale. I looked him right in the eye and slapped that smug smile off his face.
"Gale how could you? After everything you have done and put me through? How could you? I knew you were smug and overly confident and everything, but this … honestly?"
He just stared at me like he had no idea what I was talking about.
I couldn't take it anymore. I balled up my fists and punched him square in the jaw. He staggered backwards clutching his jaw, surprise and shock written all over his face. I could not believe how empowered I felt.
"No, Gale you are not going to come back into my life again and ruin yet another run at my wedding with my soul mate. You hurt me once, shame on you. You hurt me twice, shame on me, for letting you back in, for allowing you another chance to hurt me to make me miserable. I will not allow another second of it and I am sick and tired of you trying to ruin every good thing that happens to me. You say you always think about me so think about this. I hate you Gale and I never want to see you again, around me or anyone I love or care about. Oh ya, I almost forgot."
I walked straight up to him and punched him once more causing him to topple over.
"Think about that" I practically spitted and I stormed back into my room and slammed the door.
To my surprise Peeta was up and sitting by the window with it wide open. I stood there in shock,not knowing what else to say or do.
"You saw the whole thing and you didn't do anything?" the words came tumbling out of my mouth.
"Katniss I can explain" He said getting up.
"No, I don't need an explanation." And with that I took off my engagement ring and tossed it at him.
