I wake up, after a long rest, with Posy besides my bed, jumping up and down.

"It's your birthday!" she said, cheerfully. But it's not my birthday. My birthday is only on July 30th and… I look at the calendar, which is showing March 30th. I slept for two days, and my mom didn't even wake me up. I let Prim and her mom without food for two days! But Posy is smiling, she's so happy that is my birthday, and she has a draw in her hand, that I force myself to smile.

"What is that? A present?" She nodded, excited. I watch the draw, and I can see a tall guy that it's probably me, and a little girl that is hugging him. "It's that me and you?"

"Yes!" I hug her and thank her. She's just so small. She's four now. She doesn't really understand what the games are for. She just now that when it ends, and the people don't go back home, is that they're never coming back. She looks like you, Catnip. With her dark brown hair, and grey eyes, she loves doing braids too. She admired you, Katniss. She was always talking about you; even more that I do. But, not likely you, she smile more. Maybe it's because life hasn't been cruel to her yet. I'll protect her. They won't take her, or Prim away, Catnip. I promise, they won't.

After a couple hours, I get rid of my family. I know I sound mean, but they're happy. My mom's still a bit sad, and Rory is the only one who really understands that Katniss died. I walk away, and I was thinking about going to the woods, but I changed my mind. I'll apologize for not feeding them for two days. I can go to the woods after that. It's Sunday. I knock on the door, and mrs. Everdeen open it up. She looks ok, Catnip, don't worry about her. Maybe she has stopped crying.

"I'm sorry I didn't show up for two days, I was…"

"Oh, Gale, it's ok. We really appreciate your help but… I don't think we need it anymore."

"What do you mean?" My first thought was that Prim learned how to hunt, but that was impossible.

"That boy, Peeta… He feels bad, you know, he blames himself. And since his family doesn't need all the food that they get, he offered half of it to us. You can hunt for your family now, Gale. Thank you for all your help."

I stand there, speechless. Peeta could help them. Peeta would help them, he wouldn't even have to starve to help.

"It's ok." I mumbled. "I… just came to see Prim."

"Oh." Mrs. Everdeen said. "Gale, she isn't really in the mood…"

"I don't mind." I have to make her smile. For you, Catnip. I know you wouldn't want her to be sad.

"She's in her bedroom." Probably she thought I'm stubborn like you. And we both know that I am. I walk in, and I found Prim in her bed, looking at nowhere. She has shut down. I sat beside her, and play with her hair.

"Hi, Prim." I whisper. She looks at me, with her eyes filled with sadness.

"Hi, Gale." She replies, though her voice sounded like she hasn't speaks for days. "What are you doing here? That boy, Peeta, will feed us. You don't need to come here anymore, if you don't want to."

"But I want to. You're Katniss' sister. I want to protect you."

"That's sweet." She whisper, but again, her eyes are staring into nowhere.

"Wanna go to the woods?" I say, in a last try.

"Can you show me where you and Katniss used to hang out?"

"Of course."

"Then I want to."

See, Catnip? I got her out of bed. We're both healing, slowly. But we are.
