I'm sorry, had to do that. I got mad copy n paste skills. XD
Disclaimer - *puts fingers in ears* I can't hear your stupid disclaiming thingy!
My heart is beating out of my chest. This can't happen! Why is Gale doing this? Why can't he point the gun at me, not Peeta. He doesn't deserve it. He's such a good person. Bad things always happen to good people. Why?... I don't know. All I know is that it's really fucked up. He never did anything wrong. Not one thing and there are countless thing I did wrong. Gale shoots Peeta but luckily before the bullet finds his heart I jumped on Gale. It hit Peeta's hand... his strong, warm, gentle hand. Gale grabs me and shove me back into the truck and he drives away. I start screaming and kicking but before I know it, were at a house.
I've never seen this house before. It's small and rundown. Tears of fear start streaming down my face. What is he going to do? I have a feeling but... I'm defiantly not saying it. He grabs me out of the car on the ground. I don't move, I just sit there. He sighs and picks me up. He cradles me like a baby and carries me inside the house. As he does, I just stare in his eyes. They have a distant look. Theres not that light I used to always see in him. But why should I care?
He opens the door, flicks on the light and carries me into a back room. He carefully sets me on the bed and sits criss-cross on it to. He just looks at me, trying to figure something out. This is nothing as I expected. He starts to come over to me and reflexively, I kick him back and back away. "My god Katniss, I'm just taking the handkerchief off your mouth and untie your hands." he says. He comes back over and unties me. He sits back at his spot.
A tear falls down my cheek just thinking about him even trying to hurt Peeta. Actually, about anyone trying to hurt Peeta. Why would he do that? I know he wants me back but... I really didn't think he would go that far. "Katniss..." he says pleadingly. "Gale..." I mimic his tone back. He just sighs. It's a bit akward so i speak up. "Oh baby, are you feeling guilty for what you did? If you think you're hurting, you havent seen anything yet. Was it really worth it? Was she everything, that you were looking for to feel like a man? I hope you know that, you can't go back because all we had, is broken like shattered glass." I say.
He looks shocked. Definitely not the response he was looking for. "Why did you do it?" I ask.. "I... I don't know. I just want you back. I can't forget you. My conscience eats me about it. I miss you so much. But your with Peeta now so... I just didn't know what to do." "So you were going to shoot him? What the fuck is wrong with you! How could you even think about hurting him, or anybody? How could you?" I yell at him. "I told you, I didn't know what to do!" he yells back. "Well it doesn't mean you shoot him god dammit!Just then, I hear a knock on the door.
We both run to it but Gale shoves me on a chair and gets there first. I wonder who's behind it. Did peeta or someone else come to get me? The cops? I really don't know. It's definitely not Peeta though. It's a girl with red hair. You could swim in her tears. I just sit back and watch. "What's wrong?" he asks as if they were family or dating. He walks over to hug her but she shoves him back. "Don't touch me! I know what you did!" He gives her a puzzled look. "What did I do?" he asks. "You seriously don't know? My god you asshole! You cheated one me!" She screams back.
No surprise there. They just stand there screaming back and fourth. I should have gotten popcorn or something. But I feel really bad for the girl. But I recognize her from somewhere... but where? Her striking features, straight red hair, amber eyes...it's Jackie. We didn't talk much the night she came, actually we didn't talk at all but she was so sweet. She doesn't deserve this, nobody does. I remember how lost I felt. She probably feels that way to. I step up and they both quiet down. I look at Gale.
"No I can't take one more step towards you, because all that's waiting is regret. And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore. You lost the love I loved the most. I learned to live half alive. Now you want me one more time. Who do you think you are? Running around leaving scars. Collecting your jar of hearts, tearing love apart. You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul. So don't come back for me. Who do you think you are? I hear you're asking all around if I am anywhere to be found. But I have grown too strong to ever fall back in your arms. And it took so long just to feel alright. Remember how to put back the light in my eyes? I wish I would have missed the first time that we kissed because you broke all your promises. And now you're back. Your looking to get me back. But, you don't get me back. How many girls have you been with? I bet couldn't even count on my fingers." I say. They both stare at me in shock.
"Yo- you were dating him to- to?" Jackie asks with tear muffling her voice. "Yeah, worst mistake in my life. You can come back to my place if you need somewhere to stay." I say. "Thankyou, I was only renting that place for a couple days. Then I was moving in with him." she says. "Okay, come on." I say. Before we walk out the door, I look back at Gale. He's trying hard to fight back tears. I say "Youre gonna see me, in your dreams tonight. My face is gonna haunt you all the time. I knew that your going to want me back when you broke us apart like shattered glass." The tears spill down his cheeks.
Did you like it? Did you hate it? Did the Jackie thing surprise you? I will never know unless you review... ლ(ಠ_ಠლ) POW!
