Chapter 3 ~ By Storm
Katniss POV
The mistake happened a month ago, I thought it was over, I thought I would never have to think about it again. But now I can’t forget it, not now and probably not ever not now I know I’m pregnant at 16 – and my best friend is the father. I go up to my mum when Prim is at school and tell her,
“Mum I’m pregnant with Gale’s baby” I say before breaking down into tears.
“Katniss what’s wrong?” My mum says while hugging me.
“I- I di-didn’t wan-n-nt this to ha-a-a-appen-n.” I cry into her shoulder.
“Katniss at least you know Gale, I’m not mad at you if anything I’m glad that it’s with Gale and not some random person.” My mum says while stroking my hair.
“I haven’t told him.” I say
“Katniss you have to he is the father.” My mum says.
“I know but what if he hates me, what if-“ I say
“No you go there now and tell him.” My mum says sternly. She then pushes me out of the door and closes it. I run to Gale’s house and pound on his door.
“Katniss what the hell are you doing!” He shouts.
“We’re going to be parents.” I blurt out.
“What? Wait was it…” Gale asks.
“Yes it was from that night.” I say quite annoyed.
“Oh, Katniss. I’m sorry.” He whispers. He then pulls me close and hugs me. I don’t know what to think but I’m happy that he isn’t freaking out. Before I can do anything he kisses me it tastes of coal and ashes, it’s quite gross actually. I kiss him back though because I think I do love Gale and we are going to be parents so I need to get used to it.

Later on when I get home I’m greeted by Prim who hugs me and tells me it will be okay and I tell her I know it will because Gale isn’t freaking out so it will be okay. The next morning I go to Gale’s house and we tell Hazel, her instant reaction is as if someone has been shot infront of her, then she laughs- no she cries and laughs at the same time. She hugs Gale and then hugs me, what is it with people and being happy about this; don’t they realise that we will all starve because of this baby and to be honest I don’t feel like being a mum. My daughter or son could get picked for the Games then what do I do, do I cry out for them do I volunteer or do I let them go and support them. I try explaining this to Gale but he just makes up an excuse to walk away. He is so annoying but yet I really want to kiss him, I guess this is a good thing because we will have to love each other for our child. I don’t want to get involved with anyone else so I go to the woods and walk towards a lake. My father showed me the lake when I was young before he died. He would take me there every Saturday, I don’t go here anymore because when I’m in the woods Gale is always with me and this place is private, like a secret place that only me and my father know about, that’s why I’m surprised to see Gale sitting on a log by the lake. He turns and looks at me.
“How did you find here this is meant to be secret.” He says
“I thought the same thing before I found you here.” I reply. He gestures for me to come forward but I walk away because I want to be alone and I don’t want a hug and I don’t want to talk about it I want to relax. There is nowhere I can do this but here and now this place isn’t an option, the woods has always felt like the only place where I can be me but now I can’t be me because when I’m pregnant I won’t fit under the fence and when I have a child I will have to look after it. Why is life so difficult?
