Review Comments:

Kae H- You got that right for Katniss and Peeta will be together in the end but…. Keeping that a secret for now ;).

Bri P- Sorry on making Gale the bad guy but it would make his character interesting on the way he's acting.

Guest- You're absolutely right.

Wolflove43- In a way Gale is manipulating Katniss but you'll see the twist to it. He does love her. I know about Peeta and I feel bad for him too. Already reviewed and love your questions! She wore a neck brace? Thank you for the reminder.

I'm studying for finals as of right now and will update after finals.

Here's chapter three of Lost Love with Gale's point of view.

Gale's P.O.V.

I ran three blocks down the street as I do in the midafternoons. I know Katniss will be home soon from her walk in Central Park. I lifted my left wrist showing the time on my watch showing the time to be five forty-five p.m. I turned around as I started heading back to our Townhouse and kept my eyes around my surroundings.

"I wonder what would sound good to make for dinner. Maybe Lamb with dried, Katniss's favorite." I nodded my head as I grabbed my keys from my sweatpants pocket.

"Hey Gale! How are you and the Mrs.'s?" A fifty-five year old man replied as he was seating on front of his own steps.

My ears perked up as I stopped in my place from running and placed my hands on my knees to catch my breath and then looking up. It's Mister Lester.

"Hey Mister Lester, How… how are you? Katniss and I are doing great." I replied speaking normal again and putting my key into the keyhole.

"Good to hear sonny and I'm doing okay for an old fart." Mister Lester said speaking the truth.

I laughed at his humor as I entered my home. "Take it easy old man." I said closing the door behind me.

I took off my hoodie placing it on the coat rack and quickly taking off my shoes. I turned around for a quick second locking the door behind me. I started to run up the stairs going towards the closet getting a clean towel and making my way towards the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I turned on the bathtub faucet placing the water to warm. I then strap off my closing and jumping into the water as I grabbed the soap and started to grab some body wash and begin to clean myself. I closed my eyes.

Flashback

My team and I just got done firing nearly a dozen of the Taliban army since they have killed their own people including trying to kill half of our solders. We've lost some commanders and it's a price to pay, going into war, and losing people who you became close to as friends.

Eight army trucks came in Katniss, Boggs, Leggs 1 & 2, Mitchell, Jackson, Homes, Finnick, and myself enter the truck. With everybody loaded all the trucks started to leave as I took a seat next to my best friend.

"We did what we could for today. When is this war ever going to end?" Katniss asked out loud looking at everyone. .

"When the world ends maybe." Leggs 2 answered as he shrugged his shoulders. "What? I'm being realistic here." He told the truth.

"We're here to help to those are trapped in the cross fire of the rebels and it's our job to protect the innocents, to help them. Save them from being killed every day action." Our commanding Officer Boggs replied.

Half us nodded are head. We all felt a bump on the tire and suddenly we were attack by a land bomb that lilted up a fire. I blacked out from the fire and smoke.

I open my eyes with the light hurting my eyes as I checked out my surroundings. I'm the infirmary. I remembered my team and a bomb that hit us last night. I shot up from my bed and yelled in pain.

"Solider Hawthorne, you need to rest. You're still recovery from the bombing attack." Doctor Benson report as he looked into my eyes.

"Forget about me! What happened to my squad and what happened to Solider Mellark?" I asked him wanting to know.

Doctor Benson sighted then straighten up his chin and spoke.

"Your squad hit a landing bomb and nearly most of the soldiers didn't make it." He answered my question.

I sat up with my elbows positioning me.

"Soldiers Boggs, Leggs 1 & 2, Mitchell, Homes, and Jackson didn't make it, they were killed instantly because of where they were positioned seating on the back of the truck." Doctor Benson replied placed both of his hands on his plastic clipboard.

"What about Odair and Mellark? I mean soldiers Odair and Mellark?" I asked the correct way addressing their names.

"Soldiers Odair and Mellark are in the brunt unit, Odair has pulled through but he will retired once he's recovered. They both have thirty degree burn on half of their bodies and as for soldier Mellark she slipped through a coma and we're not sure if she's going to make it or not. But, if she doesn't wake up within a week or two, we're going to pull the plug on her." The doctor explained more.

Flashback Ends

I opened my eyes and having my hands in my hair then pulling my hand back with soap on it. I guess you can say since the attack I back out and waking up to reality. I shake my head finishing washing my hair and turning off the faucet, stepping out of the shower and drying myself out. I walk back into the bedroom going to the drawers, putting on boxers, black sweatpants, white socks, and a gray shirt.

I started walking downstairs and making my ways towards the kitchen to get dinner started. I know what I'm doing now is the biggest risk but I'm only doing this for Katniss. She'll hate me for this. If she remembers everything then I wouldn't know what to do.

An hour and fifth teen minutes later...

I checked on the lamb that's in the oven and stirring the plums one last time... I look over at kitchen window view seeing the sunset is about to about to fall to an end.

I hear the front door lock clicking opening with footsteps coming in with the door closed.

"Catnip, is that you?" I asked yelled from the kitchen.

"Yeah it is." My wife answered my question.

"Awesome, you're just in time for dinner. I made your favorite Lamb with dried plums." I replied coming from the kitchen to greeting her. I walk to her and gave her a kiss. I felt Katniss kissing more as I kissed her back in return with my arms wrapped around her then I felt her head on my shoulders.

"Thank you and just what I needed." She replied with a smile on her lips.

"How was the trail in CP?" I asked her as I pulled away from her getting the lamb out from the oven placing the tray on the wooden center of our kitchen table. I placed the plums into an open container on the table and placed an AL steak sauce on the table.

"Do you want Coke, Pepsi, or Pepper?" She asked me as she opened the refrigerator. "Coke." I answered her question on choice of drink. Katniss took the placemats then taking a seat.

I take a seat beside her with paper towels in my hands for the both of us.

"Thank you Gale, you really didn't have to go through all the trouble of making all this for me." My wife said as she looks me.

"Anything for you darling, trust me this was no trouble at all plus this gave me something to do since my army days." I replied as I started cutting up the lamb into slices cutting three for Katniss and two for myself.

"CP was good I was minding my own business until some man claimed that I'm his wife from the grave." She answered my first question as she took a bite out of her lamb.

I dropped my silverware on my plate then I grabbed the container of plums and putting a couple on my plate.

"Oh really now? Who's the man?" I asked wanting to know as I ate the plums pretending to playing it cool.

"He said his name is Peeta Mellark. He said that I'm his wife with this and that. I joined the army with him and thought I was killed in action." She answered then shrugging her shoulders.

"Did he hurt you?" I asked as I look up meeting with her gray eyes.

"No, he didn't. He just wanted to know why or how he said it 'How are you still alive?' It's like I knew him. Did we go to school with him?" She asked me.

I nodded my head before answering her question.

"Yes, we did go to school with him. He went to the army and so did I. He retired three years ago after his wife was killed on the way back to base camp. I stayed for a bit because I wanted to keep fighting for my friend but I couldn't do it anymore." I replied as I placed my left elbow on the table then putting my head on my hand and turned away.

"Just play pretend and I really hate doing this to her." I thought in my mind.

I felt her hand on top of my right hand.

"I know. I'm sorry that I bought back that experience for you. I know you don't like to talk about what happened that night." Katniss assured me as she patted my hand.

I bought my head back and seeing her getting out of her seat to kiss me on the cheek.

"It's okay Catnip, it's the price for fighting for your country. Going against the enemy and losing your comrades." I replied with a sight. "Stay away from him, I don't want him to confuse you in anyway."

"I'll try, if he doesn't try to find me first." She answered me as she took a couple sips of her drink.

"If he doesn't stop, call me. I'll be there in a heartbeat." I said being serious as look straight into her eyes.

She nodded her head keeping her word.

"You have my word." She keeps her promise to me and continued eating.

Katniss and I ate our dinners quietly until one of us bring up other topics to break the ice. Twenty minutes later, I was going to grab my dish until she puts her hand on my wrist.

"You did all the cooking, I'll clean up. It's the least I can do." She replied with a smile getting up as she grabbed both of our dishes.

I got up from my seat and still kept my eyes on her.

"Alright, I'll see you in bed." I said with a smile and gave her a kiss on the forehead. I started to leave from the kitchen and heading upstairs into our bedroom. I walk over to the nightstand turning on the lamp to get some light in the room and walking over to the window and seeing the night view of the Townhouses. I placed my head on my forearm as I leaned into frame.

Flashback

It's been almost two weeks since my team and I have been attacked. I still couldn't believe that half of my team were killed except Finnick Odair and Katniss Everdeen-Mellark. I recovered from my burns on my left side of my body. Ever since I was able to recover, I demanded to sit by Katniss's bedside until she wakes up. I talk to her every day and I refuse to go anywhere. I held her left hand gently rubbing it with my thumb.

"Come on Catnip, wake up. Wake up! You have to wake up or they're going to pull the plug on you." I said whispering into her ear.

I sighted as I placed my head on the bed.

'Dear god, if you can hear my prayer now; please let Katniss wake up. She doesn't deserve to die, not like this. Katniss has so much to live for.' I silently prayed in my thoughts and lifting my head up.

I felt Katniss moaned in pain with her hand moving in my hand. I lifted my head up and seeing her waking up as she sits herself up but lying back down being in pain.

"Gale? Wha… what happened? Where am I?" She asked me being confused then looking at her right arm with her eyes widen seeing burn marks to her hand to her elbow and screamed. "WHAT HELL HAPPENED TO ME?" Katniss yelled as she looks at me with tears in her eyes.

Flashback ends

A scream broke my trance and realizing it's my wife scream. I dashed towards out of the bedroom and going down the middle of the stairs as I saw Katniss crying screaming and know she's going through one of her memories from the army days.

"Who's there? Show yourself?" She asked as she took a few steps back.

"Katniss, it's just me, your husband." I assured her and I saw her knees were about to drop I paced down the steps and grabbed a hold of her then hugged her. "It's alright Katniss, it's alright. You were just having a nightmare, that's all." I said clamming her down I started to rubbed small circles down her back.

"It feel so real, the pain felt so real just like the right side of my body does." She spoke the truth as she cried into my shoulder.

I carried her to our bedroom and gently placing her down on the bed as I laid down with her. I kissed her hair and begin to spoke smoothing words into her ear.

"It's alright, you're safe. I love you. I'm still helping you to this day, through thick and thin. Right or wrong" I whispered the truth to her and felt her easing know that she fell asleep.

I sighted as pulled a blanket at the end of the bed and covering her hips then to her shoulders. I reached over to my side of the nightstand draw grabbing my journal with a pen attached to it. I go through the pages to find a new page to write down my thoughts.

Entry of November 30, 2014

As I thought things were going perfectly fine until Peeta comes back to ruin all the progress she made; has literally went out the door. Sure Katniss has night terrors or the doctor said 'short term memory' including quoting "If she see's anyone or anything that can trigger a memory, there might be a chance that she can either regain all her memories before or not. With her being involved in the bombing that has damage her mentally and emotionally but still dealing of what happened to her that night.

I had to pull a lot of strings to declared Katniss being 'deceased' to Mellark. But technically, Commander Paylor told Mellark that Katniss was killed on the way coming back to base and never really got to see her in the burn unit, better be safe than sorry. I haven't had the heart to tell her that she had a miscarriage, she was seven weeks pregnant.

I'm going to have to make sure that Peeta doesn't go after her or looking for her again.

I closed my journal and the pen top as I placed them back into my drawer and locking it. I turned off my lamp and placed my head on my pillow.

"I swear Peeta Mellark, if Katniss goes off the deep edge and if you put her in the hospital; we're going to have a problem, you mark my words." I made a promise in my thoughts as I close my eyes and letting sleep taking over my world.

How's that for a twist in the storyline? I can only imagine what soldiers go through of reliving the nightmare and/or terror that they went through while fighting in a war. If I got anything wrong on the terms or conditions please let me know, I don't respect soldiers I respect them for fighting for our country. God Bless you troops.
