Dear my lovely readers,
This chapter is just one to get to the next. You know, to move it along. It would be too early to put up the chapter I wanted to. But I promise you WILL love the next one. I wrote it about two days ago so I could get all the details down. Very exited for you guys to read it! But until then, you will just have to settle for this one. Just to make you wait. *laughing evilly*
Lots of love

After a few minutes of driving, it starts to drizzle. Then it starts to pour down all at once. It's strange, there hasn't been a single cloud in the sky today. Lightning strikes a nearby tree and it tumbles to the ground. Prim crawls into my lap. I hug her tight. Glimmer turns on the radio. There is loud beeping and a flash-flood warning. Luckily, there is a nearby hotel. We park the van on a tall hill which is unusual. District 4 is mostly flat. With Prim on my back and Rue on Cloves, we race to the hotel. By the time we get there, we are completely soaked. Glimmer registers, grabs the key and we climb into the elevator. We are room 160 on floor three. When we find it, we walk in and we dry off.
"Man, I wish we could order a pizza, I'm starving." say's Joannah. "The lady at the front desk said there was a cafeteria on the last level." says Glimmer. As we are walking down, Joannah says, "She wasn't a lady. I bet if she was hungry, she could easily eat Prim and Rue. And did you see her 'lady' mustache, ewww." she says while shuttering. The girls both walk closer to me. "O shut up Joannah, I would never let any one hurt Prim and Rue. If anyone even touch's them, well... I hope they can hold her breath a long time." Everyone laughs. Rue spots a room with a hot tub and a huge pool. "I told them to wear their bathing suits underneath their cloths so they could go straight into the ocean." says Annie. "They can go in after we eat." I say.
When we get to the cafeteria, I only see a tall boy about my age, and old man and a women with four children. There isn't a line so we just grab what we want and pay. We sit at a large table near the corner. We start to talk about completely random stuff. Suddenly, Madge gasps. "Look behind you." she say quietly. I look, At first I don't see him but that boys, well... Its turns out it's Gale. And he is staring at but quickly finches away. I forgot, he would need some ware to stay after he betray me. I guess that place was here.
Suddenly, I'm just not hungry. "I'm going to the bath room." I say. I sit in the corner and just take a deep breath. For some reason, I just thought I would never see him again. And as usual, I was wrong. I collect my thoughts. I decide that I wouldn't talk to him unless he talks to me. I wouldn't wave or anything. It's not really a big deal. Were just staying one night. That's all. I can deal with that. Before I leave, I wash my hand with ice-cold water. My palms were sweating like crazy.
I walk back into the cafeteria and I see Finnick and Gale yelling at each other. It's a bit funny to see Finnick fighting with those nails. I just sit back and watch. I really don't know what to do. Clove tells me that "Gale wanted to speak to you and Finnick just told him to leave you alone. Gale got mad and told him that he didn't know what she wanted and stop controlling you. I didn't really get that because none of us are trying to control you at all. Now they are just yelling at each other." I sigh.
I walk right in the middle and say "Gale what do you want?!" "I want you back." he says. "Can we talk about this somewhere a little more privet?" "Sure." he says. We walk in to the hall. I cross my arms and look at him expectantly. he says "Come on Catnip, don't look at me like that." he says. "I'll look at you anyway I want to. And never call me that again!" I almost yell. "I'm so sorry, I'd do anything to take it all back, start over again." he says calmly. A bit louder, I say "Well I gave you a chance and you blew it. Do you really think could ever the same?" I ask. "No, well maybe if we work on it." he says a bit pleadingly. "There is nothing to work on, there is nothing left." I say. "Katniss, don't look at me like that. " I cut him off. "Just stop. Just stop pretending we still have something. I can't take anymore of your lies. I can't do this anymore. Bye." I turn to walk away but he catches my arm and pulls me to him. Really close.
"Don't touch me!" I scream. "Just listen to me." he says in a calm voice. He loosens his grasp but not completely letting me go. He starts walking toward a supply closet. I don't want to know what he plans on doing to me when we get in there. I shove his chest with a lot of force. He stumbles back in to a maids cart and I run to the cafeteria entrance. I turn around I see him on his knees with tears falling freely down his face. "There you are on your knees begging for forgiveness, begging for me. Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry." "But Katniss, please just listen to me, please." He says in a very pleading voice. "Gale just stop playing because, that game takes two and I quit a long time ago. There's nothing left to beg for. Bye, forever.
A much better chapter than I planned on! I'm happy. :) I do feel a bit bad for Gale though. I really don't know why though. Your going to love the next chapter if that's the one I decide to put out next. Please read and review!
