Quite a long chapter and very dramatic chapter hope you like it.
Chapter 10
(katniss POV)
Peeta made us bacon and eggs which was good for me. After breakfast Peeta left for a shift at the bakery.
I run around the house cleaning up a bit for gale. There is popcorn all other the floor and couch and sweet wrappers everywhere.
I finally finish cleaning at 10am. Gale should be here at 10:30 because his plane was due to land at 10 and it takes about 30 minutes to get to our house. I decide to start preparing lunch. I'll just make salad and sandwiches. I prepare all the ingredients and put them in the salad spinner that my mum got me when we moved in here and start on the sandwiches. I make everyone's favourite: prim's ham and cheese, gale's chicken, and my cheese. As soon as I put the food in the fridge, the door bell rings and I jog towards the door and open it.
There Gale stands in the door way looking exactly as I remember. All through my life in Ohio, ever since I've known Gale, we have always been told how similar we look. We have the same brown hair, the same olive skin and the same grey eyes. He opens his arms and I smile and cheek splitting smile and wrap my arms around his torso.
"Hey catnip"
"Hey gale" I say pulling away from him and grant him entry into the house. He walks into the living room and I follow behind him. He looks around the living room and starts laughing.
"What? What's so funny?" I say
"This place. It's so you anyone would know this is your house." I look around at the forest green and white walls and the three birds printed in the corner. I start laughing too. This is what I love about me and Gale; we're so similar and can laugh at anything (and can tell if it's that person's house by the decoration apparently).
"So then what's for lunch? I'm starving" says Gale. I laugh again.
"Same old Gale" I say with a smile and motion for him to follow me to the kitchen. Oh yeah, prim. "Prim! Gales here and lunch is ready!" I call up the stairs to her. I hear her small feet running down the stairs and I see her turn the corner and fly straight into gale's open arms. I lean against the counter and watch as Gale spins my little sister around in the air. I watch as he puts her down and she straightens her dress.
"Hey little duck I missed you" Gale say smiling at her.
"I missed you too Gale.
"You look beautiful Prim" she was wearing a navy blue long-sleeved dress with small white birds on it, her blonde hair was curled and she had a navy headband on. And she looked beautiful.
"Thank you Gale" They both came and sat at the table and I brought the food over from the fridge I grabbed three cups and a bottle of lemonade and sat at the table with them. I gave everyone their sandwiches and we all started eating. Prim and I talked about life here and we asked Gale about Ohio and his family.
After lunch, Prim went to her friend Rue's house to work on their science project and Gale and I watched grownups 1 and 2.
(Peeta POV)
Shit! I left my phone at Kat's house. I ask my dad if I can go get it and he says yes so i take my apron off and jump in the car and head towards her house.
(Katniss POV)
"Oh yeah catnip I've got some great news! So you know i got captain of the football team?" says Gale. I turn to face him.
"Yeah" I say
"I was offered a scholarship at a university and its here in California!"
"Oh my god Gale that's brilliant" I say and hug him. We both stand up and hug properly and when I pull away, he holds me still a small way away and he starts to quickly lean in and before I know it his lips are on mine.
(Peeta POV)
I pull up in Kat's drive way and get out the car. When I get out I hear lots of shouting and it's all in Kat's voice. I run as quick as I can to the door and open it without knocking.
(Katniss POV)
I try to push him off me but he's too strong. The tears stream down my face. No, no, no this can't happen he's my brother and after Cato i can't be with anyone. After what happened with Cato i took up self defence and quickly connect my knee with his groin. He backs up and i stand there tears pouring like waterfalls down my face. "how could you Gale, after Cato after everything how could you do that to me" i scream at him.
"Because I am in love with you Katniss" he uses my real name which tells me he's serious. This isn't happening
"No Gale! I can't... I can't be with people...at least not yet" I shout between sobs. He stands up and walks up to me again. I back up against the wall, intimidated by his size and strength. I close my eyes and shake my head. His rough lips connect with mine again and he holds my arms and holds his body flush against mine restricting my movement. He slips one of his hands up my shirt and my body racks with earth-shattering sobs. I manage somehow to pull my mouth from his and shout "No Gale! STOP!"
Then suddenly Gale is pulled off me and I sink to the floor. He's just like Cato. The only boy I thought I could trust. Through my blurry vision i see a head of blonde hair and a fist connect with Gale's jaw. Before I shrink back into my problem's and start rocking back and forth shaking my head. The head of blonde hair picks Gale up and I hear shouting but my body is shutting down and my mind doesn't register anything said. I see the blonde hair take Gale to the door before coming back and gently taking me up in his strong arms and carrying me upstairs to my room.
My sobs has stopped but are replaced with silent tears that stroke their way slowly down my cheeks.
The last thing I remember before falling asleep is strong arms holding me tight. Strong arms that could only belong to one person, the only person that could ever comfort me at a moment like this, the only person I want to comfort me at my weakest moment. Strong arms that could only belong to Peeta Mellark.
I have big drama's planned for this story and promise a lot of Gale to come. I'm hoping to make this a long story but we'll see how it goes. Hope you enjoyed and please review.
