"Peeta?" I whispered. Silence.

"Peeta? Are you awake?" I said, more loudly this time.

He groaned, but smiled when he realised it was me. He smile quickly subsided when he saw the fear in my eyes. He looked worried.

"Is everything alright Katniss? Did you have any nightmares?" He asked.

"I'm fine Peeta," I replied.

"Then what's wrong Katniss? Please tell me."

I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. I didn't know what to say. But Peeta has to know. He deserves to. He needs to know.

"I had a dream about Gale. Twice. He kissed me and I felt something."

Peeta was startled after hearing Gale's name. He looked hurt, but most of all betrayed. I didn't like it one bit.

There was a long silence.

"Were you cheating on me Katniss?" He demanded, finally breaking the long silence. He looked as if he could burst any second.

"No, of course not Peeta why would I-"

I reached for his arm; he quickly flinched away from me, as if he had touched fire.

"Don't touch me!" He said, tears welling up in his eyes. "How could you do this to me Katniss? Do you want to be with Gale?" His blue eyes, filled with tears, were looking directly into mine, searching for answers.

"I don't know Peeta. I don't know."

Peeta grabbed my hands and looked me in the eye.

"Do you love me?"

"Of course I do Peeta, I love you with all my heart."

"I want to believe you Katniss but I can't. " He looked at me with disgust. I can't believe you! And I thought you actually loved me."

And with that, Peeta got out of the bed and walked towards the wardrobe. At first I thought he was going to get changed. But as I saw him gather his clothes in a small bag, I realised that he was packing. Packing to leave.

"No, don't do this to me, please," I ran towards him, putting my arms around his neck.

Peeta snatched my arms away and continued packing without a word.

"Listen to me, please," My voice was weak and I started to sob. I felt as if a dam had burst inside of me and I couldn't stop myself.

"I love you so much, Don't leave me!" I pleaded.

Peeta didn't say anything.

"Bye Katniss." He said, as he left shortly after, slamming the door behind him.

It finally dawned on me that I had lost the love of my life. And I hated myself for it.

Well, looks like you got what you wanted. Peeta's left. You never deserved him anyway.

I carried on sobbing until I had no tears left.

Days passed, and I missed Peeta terribly. Every now and again, I would look at the seashell Peeta gave me all those years ago back on the beach in the Quarter Quell. Back at a time when he actually loved me. Oh how I would give anything to go back to how it was before. I can't believe I was so stupid in telling him about Gale. I should have just kept it to myself.

The telephone started to ring. I hadn't heard the loud ringtone in a while, and it made me jump. A part of me hoped it would be Peeta, calling me to say how sorry he was. Ha. Like that will ever happen. Peeta was so angry, more angry than I'd ever seen him before. Peeta never got angry, unless he had one of his hijacking moments, but that never happened anymore.

I picked up the phone and to my surprise, it was Gale.

"Catnip?" He asked.

I winced at the name. I know it was his special nickname for me, but he never called me it anymore, since I chose Peeta over him. I don't think he ever got over it. Until now.

"What do you want?" I retorted.

"Are you alright Catnip? You seem…. down."

"No, I'm fine."

"Listen, Catnip, I know you're confused about your feelings especially about what happened with Peeta, but there's no need to be rude."

Peeta? How did he know about him? And what happened? My mind quickly replayed all the events that occurred, trying to see if I had told him, or Peeta did. Nope, I didn't and neither did Peeta, so how did he know?

"How do you know about that?"

"Peeta came to my mother's house, whilst I was visiting her. He was crying and demanded to know what happened between us and I told him nothing had happened. He was so angry, Catnip."

"Oh." I didn't know what else to say. But I was shocked. Out of all people he ran to Gale?

"He told me about your dreams."

WHAT? He told Gale? I was meant to tell him later on but why now? He's getting married, he doesn't need all this stress. What will Maya think of this? Oh no, she absolutely hates me, who knows what she will do if she found out?

"Is it true Catnip?"

"Yes. It's true, but I don't know if I have feeling for you, okay, maybe a little but-"

"You what? You have feeling for me? Wait a second. I'm trying to get my head around this information. Wow. You had dreams about me? Did I look beautiful as always?"

I laughed. Same old Gale. I liked we would joke around and not talk about sensitive subjects. Just like friends.

"Of course you did."

He chuckled.

"Err listen Catnip, why don't we talk about this, face to face? I'm in the area, so maybe we can meet tomorrow, midday in our usual place?"

"Sure. I guess I'll see you there."

"Good. I guess I'll see you there too."

And with that, he hung up the phone.

Ooh, suspense! I wonder what will happen!I tried to make this chapter longer, since my other ones have been shorter and I thought you would like it if you got a bit more information on the story! As always, review telling me what you think about it, and maybe some ways to improve it? Thanks, xoxo
