Gale and I sit for at least an hour as he tells me how much he still loves Delly and I tell him about Tobias saying he would be my family.
“And now,” I sob “I don’t have any family! Except Caleb and he’s in Erudite.”
Gale sits silently while I weep, head in my hands. After a while I tell him about how my parents died. He tells me about how Peeta’s whole family died and Katniss’s dad and little sister Prim.
“I made the weapon that killed Prim.” Gale says sadly. “I feel so AWFUL and I don’t think Katniss has fully forgiven me for it. I don’t think she ever will.” He sighs.
“I don’t know about that.” I say. “Katniss seems to trust you and you two are best friends!”
I take a deep breath.
“Christina is my best friend and I shot and killed her boyfriend Will. It still hurts here-“ I poke my chest where my heart is. “Where my heart is. When I talk about it or even just hold a gun.”
Confessing to someone feels good and I stand up. I reach a hand down to Gale and pull him to his feet.
“You must think I am so weird and stupid. I usually don’t cry but-“ Gale cuts me off.
“No, I don’t Tris! I think it would be weird if you didn’t cry after all that’s happened.”
I smile and we emerge from the store room.
“What now?” Gale asks and I grin at him rebelliously.
“We’re going to find my grandparents.” I say
