It's All Over

G: It's All Over

*A/N: heyy G stands for Gale's pov and K stands for Katniss's :)) if it doesn't have g or k, it means it's a continued chapter.

Gale's P.O.V

Wow. District 12 has changed a lot.

I scan as I walk, a bow and a sheath of arrows which i created myself back in District Two, is in my hand. Hope Katniss will like it.

I'm sure Katniss hates me, I smile. But I've got my speech ready.

My feet carry me at Katniss's house automatically. On the way, I can see Haymitch feeding a gaggle of geese.

"Hey, Haymitch!" I say, waving my free hand. He looks sober.

He glances around until he sees me. He gives me a puzzling look and asks, "Is that you, Gale? Haven't seen you a lot around here."

"Yeah. So busy with my job in two. Anyway, how're you doing?" I ask.

"Raising geese, desperately waiting for the next train. It's been a while." he says, going back to his work. "Well, nice seeing you today. I'll be on my way to Katniss's."

I'm not sure but I think he shot me a look that says No, don't. But, why wouldn't I?

"Katniss?" I call as I close the door behind me. I search the kitchen, the study. Not there. So, I've decided to go upstairs.

I'm about to open her bedroom door when a familiar voice whispers,

"You love me. Real or not real?" Peeta.

I stand there, frozen. The excitement was gone, leaving only dread.

"Real." Katniss replies.

I back away from the door. Then I run downstairs, my feet thumping heavily on the steps, not bothering if they hear me or not.

I saw Greasy Sae with a little girl when I burst out from the front door. I could hear her calling, "Gale-!"

I run off, entering the woods from the fence. I didn't care who sees me.

I reach my meeting place with Katniss. I throw the weapons on the dusty ground and sit on the grassy area. I think repeating what I heard back, letting the words sink in.

It's painful-being whipped, having a wound below my shoulder blades and being clawed by those lizard mutts- but hearing that from Katniss...

This is it. She chose him.

It's over.

It's really over.
