*WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE AND POSSIBLE FORCED SEXUAL INTENTIONS (RAPE) SCENE* Don't say I didn't warn you ;) ;)

At midday on the day we told Prim about the pregnancy, I got a text from Gale asking if we could talk. He said it was urgent and we needed to talk ASAP but I was having lunch with Peeta. So I called Gale up.

"Hey Gale, sorry I can't come to lunch I'm meeting an old...friend."

"And by "old friend" do you mean Peeta? Because I know he was at your house last night Katniss. I could hear you two laughing." Gale's voice was different. It was much lower and angrier. It definitely was a scary different.

"Gale settle down, we were just talking...nothing happened, I swear." I said back.

"Well, that's something at least. This isn't over Katniss, I'm coming over now."

"Gale, I told you I can't-" but it was no use, he had already hung up.

I shot a quick text off to Peeta saying I'd be late and I'll explain when I get there when I heard my doorbell ring. I put my phone down on my bed before I heard Gale banging his fits angrily on the front door. Luckily Prim nor Mum was at the house at this point of time. I calmly went and opened the front door where Gale was stood fuming.

"Hey" I said nervously, "what's wrong?"

"WHAT'S WRONG?!" He screamed, "YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT'S WRONG"

He had started to scream so loudly, I wondered if the neighbours could hear, "Gale, stop. You're going to make a scene come inside!" I exclaimed. He grudgingly walked inside and but stopped a few feet short of the door. "Katniss, tell me what the fuck is going on!" He yelled as he pointed his grubby old finger at me.

"Nothing is Gale, Peeta and I were just talking. I haven't seen him in a while you know..." I looked down, hoping he might settle down a bit.

"No, you're not allowed to see him. That scum is not allowed anywhere near you, do you understand? If you see him again- it's the end of him" He then leant forward and kissed me full on lips. Except he didn't stop.

"Gale, get of-, me, Gale" I tried to say but he was muffling me with kisses. He then pushed me down onto the couch. That was it- he went too far. I kicked him in the stomach as he leant forward. He howled in pain but staggered back, I got off the couch and grabbed the phone.

"You can't tell me what to do. You've ruined my life enough. Don't come any closer or I'll ring the police. We're over, you're never allowed to have contact with this baby and you're to stay away from me, Peeta & my family do YOU UNDERSTAND!" I was yelling by the time I finished- tears streaming down my face. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO STAND THERE AND KEEP ME AWAY FROM FRIENDS WHEN YOU WERE OFF WHORING YOURSELF OUT. FUCK OFF GALE HAWTHORNE. Get out of my life- and MY child's. Cause it's not yours anymore." Still unable to move and speak due to the knock of my kick, I pushed him out of the house and slammed the front door.

I fell down on the couch and started sobbing.

....................................................................................................................................

I didn't realise it but I had fallen asleep. It was now 3:30pm and Mum & Prim still weren't back. I checked my phone to see I had 6 missed calls and 11 text messages from Peeta asking if I was okay. I shot him a quick text saying sorry about lunch and that I'd explain it all tomorrow. I lifted myself off my bed and went and had a shower. I had to get the stench of that wanker off me. I don't know how long I spent in the shower, but when I got out I felt much better. I was walking over to my closet to get my tracksuit pants when I passed my mirror. My belly stood out to me so I stopped. As I was looking at my growing baby- I was silently hoping it wasn't anything like Gale. I was interrupted from my thoughts by my phone ringing. I walked over and noticed that I didn't recognise the Caller ID.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hi, Katniss? It's Grace- from school. I thought I should let you know something, could we quickly meet for coffee in 30 minutes?"

"Uh, yeah sure. I'll see you then?"

"Thanks!" She sounded chirpy but something didn't seem right.
Well, it looks like my afternoon had just been planned.
