"Excuse me Miss Everdeen, I'm afraid we will be needing Mr. Mellark at the moment." A doctor says from behind me. Our lips break apart and we just stare into each other's eyes. I can't believe Peeta Mellark is actually here right now. Just the thought makes me smile.
"Miss Everdeen?" The doctor says again. I jump down from Peeta's arms. "Sorry." I murmur so quietly I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't hear me.
"This way Mr. Mellark." The woman says and leads him towards his hospital room. I follow closely behind, not letting go of his frail hand. He steps into the room and I'm about to follow until the doctor stops me.
"I'm sorry Miss Everdeen, no visitors until tomorrow." She says. "What!" Me and Peeta both exclaim.
"I'm sorry it's the rules, you can come back tomorrow Miss Everdeen." She says. I drop Peeta's hand and give him a quick peck on the lips.
"I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" I say. "You promise?"
"I promise... Always." I say and then the doctor pulls him into the room and shuts me out. I turn around and Haymitch is smiling.
"Hey sweetheart, why so down? You just reunited with that boy! Heck you thought he was dead!" Haymitch practically yells. I smile. "You're right." I say and give Haymitch a hug. "Thank you." I whisper. "Why?" He asks
"Just for being there for me and Peeta." I say and Haymitch smiles. "You should go get some rest... It's one o'clock you need sleep so you can go see him tomorrow." He says. I nod and walk towards my compartment. Then I see Gale down the hall.
"Gale!" I say and walk towards him. I hug him but he doesn't hug back. "Are you okay? How's your shoulder?" I ask. He just has an angry look on his face and I can't tell why.
"Gale? What's wrong?" I ask, getting a little worried now. "Can't you see Katniss." He says and glances over to Peeta's hospital compartment and walks away. Is Gale jealous of Peeta? I know Gale always had feelings for me but do I love him back? Of course I love Gale. But I love Peeta. What? I've never even said that I've loved any of them ever before! I can't love Gale, not in Peeta's condition. Peeta needs me, and I need him. I already told Peeta that in the arena. But does he think it was just part of the act? I can't choose between them, it's not fair.
Gale or Peeta? Peeta or Gale?
