On my Spotify, I made a Gale Hawthorne playlist called Gale Hawthorne Vibes. You guys can listen to it while reading.

Y/n's POV

Every day seems to be the same. They pump Tracker Jacker venom into me. Torture me. Starve me. It's the same thing. I feel my memories changing even more. I still love Gale, but he seems like a bad person now. I want to love Gale the way I used to. But I can't. I try. But it's hard. Today I have to do another interview. I was put in another dress and had to do another interview with Flickerman. I know what I need to do. And I know the consequences. But I'm willing to face them if it means that the rebels live.

Gale's POV

It's been a few days since the interview with Y/n. I can't stop worrying about her. President Coin, Plutarch, Beetee, Haymitch, and I have been brainstorming a rescue plan. We need to save Y/n, Johanna, and Annie. Finnick is a mess without Annie. He has been quiet, and he's always tying knots, I guess it calms him.

Let me just recap yesterday real quick. It was crazy. We went to District 8 to visit a hospital and help them. To at least give them hope that we can win this rebellion. We visited them, and when we left there were these hovercrafts that came in and started dropping bombs. Earlier in the day, Beetee gave us new weapons, Katniss' bow came with these amazing arrows, the red ones make things explode. She shot one of the red ones at the planes but before that, the bombers dropped a bomb on the hospital. Everyone in there died. The Capital claims they want peace, but this isn't peace, this is war. They're making it worse. We went back to District 13 and continued with our schedules.

Today Coin said that Katniss and I can go hunting. Right now we're above ground in the forests of 13. It's peaceful, It's a lot like back home, well, what home used to be. We hunted around for a couple of hours, then we sat by a river nearby.

"I haven't been able to hunt for...a long time it feels like, all of 12 was covered with peacekeepers, and not an inch of the fence wasn't guarded by one of them," Katniss said

"Yeah, that was crazy. At least here we can...live without always having to watch our backs for peacekeepers" She nodded.

"How's the rescue planning going?"

"Good, actually. We have a few pretty good ideas, but we're still figuring it out. We only have one chance, you know?"

"Yeah. Don't worry, we'll get her back, no matter what" We had to go back underground now, so we get up and start walking back. When we get back we have to head to the conference room to talk over something. As we walk into the cafeteria I hear the tv playing. It's Caesar Flickerman again.

"He was arguably our favorite tribute. And I think that that's what we all find most astonishing, is that this young man was adored in the Capital. And I think for you, Y/n, this must be particularly painful." The Screen changed to Y/n. She looks so different. She's very noticeably shaking, she looks starved and terrified, all much more than in the last interview.

"Oh, my god," I whispered when I saw her. "She's changed so much, what are they doing to her?"

"I wish I could see you, Gale" Y/n said, looking down at a rose she was holding.

"Oh, you do? Well, that's surprising because of all the violence he has caused. You must love him very much to be able to forgive him. I don't think that I could. Unless, of course, Y/n, you think perhaps he's being forced into saying things that he doesn't even understand."
