Gale!

Um….hmm…what to do, what to do…..

If I go greet my long lost friend, Peeta would steal the poker face back again…..but if I remain here, it stays on Gale's face….

Oh, what have I done?

No I should stay ; for I will see Gale later and explain all of this misunderstanding. Misunderstanding?!!!

I need to figure this out…..but first I need to talk to my family.

NOW

The eruption of interrogators began yet another time. That wasn't the only thing that lost control.

"You know what?" I screeched, "I just went through a fight to the death far, far away from home. And I believe that I …we deserve a little respect!"

"So if someone doesn't bring me to my family AT THIS INSTANT then….then….then----

Then everything went black.

I heard a noise humming tenderly….humming…what seemed to be a lullaby. Arms were around me, holding me close…and I felt ice cold hands touching my head….my hands.

My eyelids fluttered.

"She's waking!" a soft, girly voice spoke eagerly.

"Prim?"

I opened my eyes and searched and searched for her face.

Until at last, I found her.

"Prim!!!"

"Kat!"

She warmly hugged me.

"Oh, I missed you!"

"And we missed you," a voice said, "And are so proud of you!"

"Mom!"

"You have so much to tell us, sweetie," she said, "But first, I will leave you three alone."

Mom and Prim walked out of the room.

I froze. Three? How could she?!

I looked up to the body that was holding me. Gale.

"Gale!"

"Hey." He pulled me a little closer.

"I missed you so much!"

"Me too."

"What's the matter?" I asked. But then I turned to my right and there stood Peeta, looking hesitant and timid .

"We all have some things to…to settle." he answered.

A long pause occurred.

"Yes, yes we do." I realized.

"Look Kat, we both love you…well, at least I do," he looked at Peeta as if to imply that he doesn't, "and we need you to make a choice."

"Of course I love her you idiot," Peeta yelled, "Yes, I will always love you Katniss. Even after everything you put me through."

He said it with disgust.

But Gale loves me.

I looked at Gale.

"You love me?" I gasped, "You really love me?"

"Yes."

I looked at Peeta and he didn't look healed yet.

"I guess I need to say something then." I said awkwardly.

"Peeta, at first, I was loving you only for our safety. Then it turned into something…something….well I don't know exactly. That's why I'm so confused…But, Peeta, I am so sorry. Sorry that I hurt you….sorry I can't decide…and I really do care about you and I hope you forgive me."

Peeta just stared at me.

"Like I said before, I'll always love you," he answered, "But I don't know if I can forgive you."

"What can I do to make it up to you?" Even though I already knew the answer.

I turned toward Gale.

"Gale, I think I've always felt something between us all this time, but I don't know…now that I know how you feel…I..I…"

"Shh…shh." Gale soothed.

"Honestly, I am in love with both of you."
