Peeta:
I'm waking up alone. Katniss must've went up to eat breakfast.
I think wanna stay here, but I know that I can't. I have to coach Pearl and Rock before they are heading down to their training.

I walk out of our room, and Effie, Katniss and Haymitch are sitting around the table discussing lowly and seriously.
>> Peeta! Come here.<< Katniss says when she sees me.
I nod once, curious about what they are so serious about.

>> Peeta, when I came over here twenty minutes ago, I saw this at the floor.<< Haymitch says, handing over a piece of paper to me.
>> Read it.<< he continues.
I nod once and starts to read.

This is what the letter says:
Dear Katnip.
I know you are upset at me for the thing during the war...
But, I just really need to explain myself so I thought the best way to do that is by letter.
Yes, it was my idea about the bombing. I knew that Coin would guarantee Prim safety, otherwise I wouldn't do it. Yes, that plan costed a lot of life, life of small kids. I can't take that of my mind when I go to bed. The only thing that makes me smile again is you.
Yes, I know you are with Peeta and so. But please give me a chance. I am more charming than that flour sack.
So, if you wanna give me a chance, meet me at the ground floor tomorrow 4 PM.
Gale.

Fuck, what the heck? I will kill Gale, I will fucking kill him with my bare hands. He called me a sack of flour. I'm felling my face turn red.
>> I, I...<< I got stuck on my words.
I want away.
I pull out the chair and goes back to our bedroom. I need some privacy right now.
I lay down on the bed and starts to think. Why does this happening to me?. I don't wanna suffer through this. Is Gale some kind of punishment for me? Has God just send him here to punish me? I just wanna help these kids out and have a great time in the Capitol with Katniss. Not some kind of love drama.

I hear Katniss walking towards the door. She opens it and tuck her head in through the door.
>> Hey, you don't have to worry. I'm not going there.<< she says and walking in and locks the door.
>> It's not that.<< I say.
She sits down on the bed and starts to rubbing my back to calm me down.
>> What is it then?<< she asks.
>> I'm wondering how far he really are going to go just to get your attention. He's already called you insults and called me a flour sack.<< I say to her.
She frowns, as she always do when she knows that I'm right.
>> I don't know.<< she says.
>> I could write him a letter back.<< she says and smiles.
I smile back at her.
>> Can I help you out with this nice letter lovely ms. Everdeen?<< I say in the same voice tone as my grandfather used when he talked to my grandmother.
She nods and laughs.
>> Lets go and get a pice of paper.<< she says and raises up, handing me a helping hand up.

We goes to the office room on our penthouse. It's located between the dining and the living room, underneath the dining area since it's higher up than the rest of the floor. I didn't knew that that too actually existed until we got here and had to send reports to the newspapers.
Katniss pics a paper directly from the printer and pics a pen.
She starts to write. When she had finished the writing she hand over the paper to me.
She wrote:

Hey Gale.
If you thought in the first place that I was upset about you only because of Prim, you're wrong. I'm upset about you for, well let's see: The bombings, you kissed me when you knew that I hate you and that I'm in love with Peeta, you called the only man I love a FLOUR SACK, you think that you could be forgiven. But NO, you'll NEVER EVER be forgiven. And you won't see me on the main floor, and one last thing that I wanna say to you that I've wished I could ever since I met you this year. GO FUCK YOURSELF. Leave us at peace asshole.
Sincerely Katniss.
