*HUGE DISCLAIMER* I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS 12YRS OLD, SO EXCUSE GRAMMAR AND CRINGINESS
What if.....?
Katniss has finally returned to District 12 both haunted and shattered by the past knowing the peace gained does not supply her with security and ha...
What if this not a dream? What if Gale just kissed me? What if he really is back again, trying to convince me? What if he can just never accept I don't feel the same way about him that he feels about me? What if he is just going to keep coming back until he ruins my life for good? What if he will just never back down, never give up on what he wants? What if he will never stop?
What if? What if? What if.......

Before he can even say anything my hand collides with his face, slapping him hard. Rage boils inside of me, my hands tremble with pure anger rushing heat through my veins. He puts his hand to his cheek which is now bright red. I say to him, trying my best not to scream
"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
He says to me calmly
"Katniss, I just wanted to talk to you...."
I burst out without letting him to continue as I struggle to contain the vicious words coming to mind
"Then talk Gale! Not kiss! Then leave! Leave me alone!"
I fold my arms across my chest trying to hide the sight of the trembling. I am feeling so many emotions at this moment I just want to curl up in a ball with my hands over my ears and scream. His eyes are pained and pleading but I see past them. The darkness that helped create the bomb that killed Prim still remains. The darkness that came to his eyes during the rebellion. The darkness that allows him to keep doing this to me without realising how much it ruins my life. He says
"I can't live without you Katniss. Even when I leave and go back to 2... You're always on my mind. Katniss please.... You have to understand that the bomb was unintentional. And I didn't come see you for so long because I was scared you would not forgive me..... I know I did wrong but you know I would never do that to Prim on purpose"
I feel my eyes welling with tears. Thinking of Prim. I say to him, my voice weak
"But the problem is you did Gale. And not just that you can't accept the fact that I don't feel for you that way. That kiss meant nothing to me, even if it meant something to you. I love Peeta and you need to realise that. Or else I'm sorry but we can't be around each other any more"
He looks at me for a moment. No words are spoken, he just looks at me.

And after a few seconds he walks away. I watch him walk into the distance until he's out of sight before going inside, locking the door and breaking down. How can he do this to me? How can he come and ruin my life and not even care..... How can he be the one I used to share everything with? What has changed the old Gale, my hunting partner Gale.... Only one word can answer that
War.

I am sat on the floor, my back against the door and crying. Not because I'm upset, or sad. Because I am filled with so many emotions that tears are the only way I can let them all go. I'm mostly angry, his reappearance was so unexpected but in a way I should have known he would have come back someday. Suddenly I jump when I hear a knock at the door behind me. I hear a moment later his voice
