Authors Note: So here is my Hunger Games imagine in honor of the new movie. And don't get mad at me but I am more of a Gale person than Peeta. Sorry. 

I rush through the muddy streets of District Twelve as I head towards the Everdeen's house. I had just found out that Gale had been taken to the center of the district and had been whipped to within an inch of his life. I arrive at the Everdeen's' house and take a deep breath before opening the door. 

I step through the door and see people congregated in the dining room and I can see Prim and her mom moving around looking for things. I push forward and see Gale lying front down on their kitchen table, and my eyes widen at the sight of his back. He has blood all over his back and there are strips of his skin lying in ribbons. The smell of blood hits my nose and I ask softly, "Is he going to be okay?" 

They look at me and Ms. Everdeen says, "Yes honey. He's going to be fine. We just gave him some stuff for the pain." 

I nod and grab a chair and bring it over next to the table and take a seat watching over him. Throughout the night I feel myself dozing off but I force myself to stay awake and it isn't until the early hours of the morning when the sun is just starting to rise that he begins to stir. 

 He groans and I say, "Shh it's okay I'm here." 

He opens his eyes and I look into his blue eyes and I begin to run my hands through his soft fluffy hair. I see confusion clouding his eyes still from the drugs and I say, "You're at Katniss's house." 

I see him relax and I see his eyes drooping again and I say softly to him, "It's okay I'll be here when you wake up." With those words his eyes close once more. 

Over the next few days, I hardly leave his side while I help take care of him. After about a week he's able to go home. I help him stand and he uses me for support as I walk with him back to his house.

When we get there I help him to his room and he sits down on his bed, I watch him for a moment until I hear him ask, "Would you mind closing the door." I nod and walk over to the door and gently close it before standing in front of him again. 

I see him looking at me and he says, "I appreciate you looking after me these last few days." I watch as he swallows nervously before continuing, "I know this probably isn't the best time or the most romantic but will you marry me?" 

I stare at him speechless as he continues on, "I know I don't have a ring or anything like that for you but I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you no matter what happens." 

Once he's done speaking I gather my thoughts and am finally able to say something. I stare into his blue eyes and say with a soft smile on my face, "Yes." 

I watch as he smiles back at me and I go over and he wraps me in a hug trying not to hurt himself and he kisses me. We both smile into the kiss and when we pull away he says, "Tomorrow we can go to the justice building and make it official." 

I stare at him before I stutter out, "What about  dress? Rings?" He runs his thumb across my cheek as he says, "You don't need to wear a fancy wedding dress. And, besides I think I can ask my mom for some help with the rings." 

I ask, "Why don't I need a dress?" He smirks at me before he says, "Because all I need is you." I feel my heart melt at his words and he pulls me down onto the bed next to him and all I can think about is how tomorrow I would become Mrs. Hawthorne.
