Katniss POV

I woke up in mine and Peeta's own bed, in the bedroom and not in the 'Toxic' room. We left that room last night after spending three fucking days in there.

Peeta didn't bring up what he said again, in fact he acted like it never happened but it's all that's been on my mind. I want to respond to him, I really do, but I don't know if it's because I'm scared of what will happen or if it's because we're on national tv and we're being filmed 24/7.

Today we've been told we're doing a kind of press thing I think Big Brother called it? It's basically were we all sit and answer some questions from newspapers and magazine people.

I've got dressed, done my hair, my makeup and am now waiting outside the press room door with everyone else.

When the door opens we're all told to take a seat. I take one in the middle of everyone. We're all behind a massive table and in front of us is about 12 interviewers, 5 cameras and a lot of judgy looks.

I take a closer look at the interviewers and they all seem normal expect one that has dark hair and grey eyes.

I narrow my eyes a little to focus on him because all the lights in this room is blinding and my worst fears are confirmed.

He stands up and has a very angry look on his face and shakes his head before he speaks, "My question is for Katniss"

"Hello Gale" I whisper.

"How do you feel, knowing that a boyfriend on the outside is watching you and him kiss every damn day, whilst he is supporting you and trying to keep people voting for you" He laughs coldly.

He's came here to humiliate me. He's came here to make me out to be completely in the wrong, and whilst I am in the wrong, I'm not completely. I bet you he wouldn't like me to tell the whole world about his emotional abuse on me. Well guess what Gale, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

"I actually don't feel bad, I mean I did for sure at the start, but then I remembered that my so called boyfriend, used to always remind me that I wasn't good enough, or I was a useless piece of trash. He also used to control me, never let me leave the house, never let me talk to anyone else and made me feel like utter shit, so in fact, I don't feel bad at all" I answer.

Gales eyes widen and his mouth goes into an 'o' shape whilst everyone else turns around and looks at him. Well everyone apart from Peeta. I feel his eyes on me and I nod slightly to show him I'm okay.

Many more questions are asked, some about me and Peeta's relationship and how it effects the house, of course some people were absolute bitches and said things like we were 'dividing the house' and shit like that but others just shook their heads and stood up for us.

Ever since Gale asked his question, Peeta's hand has never left mine.

Soon Gale stands up again because every reporter gets to ask two questions, "This next question is for Peeta" he says Peeta's name with disgust which makes me narrow my eyes even more and makes Peeta clench his fist slightly.

"How was it, telling Katniss you loved her and her not saying it back, must've been a real kick in the balls right?" Gale asks.

"No it wasn't. I told Katniss how I feel and she might not feel exactly the same but I know she cares about me. I would also never pressure Katniss into saying anything just for he sake of the cameras and publicity, if she wants to say it back, she can say it in her own time," Peeta looks at me before continuing, "and I'll be right here waiting"

I smile widely at him and squeeze his hand gently.

When the last of the questions is asked we all stand up and prepare to go back into the main house.

Gale gets up and grabs my arm, "How could you say that, on TELEVISION" he hisses at me.

"I told the truth, and if you couldn't tell by that speech, it's over" I snap back whilst pulling my arm away from his grip.

His eyes soften and his bottom lip starts shaking, "What? It can't be over?"

"It is" I state.

His eyes go from teary to angry in a matter of seconds, "Fine, good luck trying to find anyone else that'll put up with you"

"I already have" I say back referring to Peeta, "Goodbye Gale" is the last thing I say before walking out the room and never looking back at him once.
