Hey guys, I feel really bad because I haven't updated any of my stories yet since the summer but I'm going to start trying again. So thank you everyone so much for the amazing reviews, I really hope that I don't let you guys down with the following chapters. As always I don't own anything.

Katniss POV

I sat in my room at the justice building, waiting for my visitors to start coming to say their last good byes. I have the feeling of being pushed into a déjà vu. Last year I was sitting at the exact same spot, preparing to die, I came back that time, believing I am safe forever, but I was wrong, because here I am again.

Tears are streaming out of my eyes and I no longer have the strength to hide them. Gale is going with me, and after the last hunger game, I'm sure there's no way that they will allow two people to win again. I don't think I'll be able to stand losing him, especially since it's my stupid emotions that got him into this whole mess in the first place. Thoughts of Gale brings me to Peeta, his expression when he heard Gale's name called instead of his will be imprinted in my heart forever, my heart just broke seeing the hurt that I brought him, the hurt that I'm bringing everyone. And of course there's my family, I really don't wanna think about the stress that they will be under, seeing my life in danger for the second time.

I was tore from my thoughts by the sound of the door opening, declaring the presence of my first visitors; as I expected, it was my mom and Prim. They both had tears in their eyes, and they pulled me into their arms. We stayed like that for a long time, not needing words to convey the love and the pain that was searing inside of us. When our time was up, my mom bid me a few final good byes and I love yous before leaving.

I sat back down, eyes away from the floor, because I knew who was next. Peeta walked in slowly, not meeting my eyes. He took a seat in front of me and slowly raised his head, as I did the same.

After a long silence, I managed to say a gentle hello with a sad smile. He did not smile back.

"So I guessed I just imagined everything all this time huh?" he asked, a hint of coldness in his tine that gave me chills.

"No, it was real, I felt something too." That wasn't a lie, I did love Peeta, and during the games, I did think for moments that he might be the one, that there was a future for us. But what I feel towards Peeta is different from Gale, Peeta was someone who shared an experience with me, we grew together as we helped each other survive, and for that I'm grateful. Gale and I have known each other for years, we were alike, and there's raw chemistry between us that I didn't feel towards anybody else. "It's just that -"

"You feel more towards Gale," he finished for me.

"Yeah," I whispered quietly. I could clearly see the heart break on his face, and I really wanted to stop it. "But trust me, I do love you, and I always will." With those words slipping out of my lips, I walked over, and slowly leaned in to place a light kiss on Peeta's cheeks.

His hand went to the place where my lips touched, "I love you Katniss, but if you choose Gale, then I respect your decision. And know that I will always be there for you."

He stood up and walked away, without giving me a chance to reply. He's upset, it's obvious, but I hope he's only mad at me, I really hope he doesn't blame Gale for this. It's always me, Katniss Everdeen who messes up everything for everyone.

I got a few more visitors after that, including Madge and some people from the Seam. Eventually no more footsteps approached my door, I was again forced into a deadly silence as I kept on waiting.

Okay that was short and a little depressing but some of you said you wanted some Peeta in this, for you guys who were expecting more Gale, I'm sorry, but I thought I'd address that whole thing before moving on. So I hope it was okayy, and please let me know what you think. REVIEW pls.

Xoxo
