Chapter 17:


We turn to see Gale, standing right behind us! He's ruining this! He's ruining my moment with Katniss!
"Leave Gale! I have no clue how you got here, or why the hell your even here, but I'm engaged and GOING to marry Peeta! I LOVE HIM! I LOVE HIM MORE THAN THE WORLD, OKAY?" She yells, at Gale. And I know by the look in her eyes that she not lying when she says all this! Gale looks buffer, stronger!
"No." Gale says his expression changing to me with the look of DEATH! "Not till he's dead!" His voice raising towards me.
Katniss grabs me, HARD! She's scared, very scared!
"There's a secret button under EVERY couch in EVERY room, that you push in case of emergency's and the guards come to see whats wrong!" I whisper to only Katniss, I do this without moving my mouth! I pretend to drop something, "Crap!" I bend to pick up "my shirt" off the ground as I push the button, multiple times just to make sure they come with backup! "Kay?" Katniss asks me, taking a VERY good grip of my hand, and arm, and face, looking my face over, with concern in her eyes. I look back at her my sympathy and hopefulness. "ok..." I say back to her, very quietly. Then she kisses my lips ever so slightly, making me want more, but I can tell she did that for a reason.

All of a sudden Gale launches at me! At the same time the train stops.

But at the same time the guards show up, and leap at him. Katniss leaps at me, too. Grabbing around my shoulders in a big bear hug, basically. She did this on purpose, too! Cause as soon as I get pushed on the ground by Katniss, Gale hurls over the couch onto the floor with a big knife in his right hand! I grab Katniss in a cradle, and RUN!

The guards are too slow for him, he's on his feet already, slicing at the air! Katniss tells me to stop.
"STOP!" She yells at Gale, with her arms out stretched. "Gale, if you kill my Love, than you kill me, too." This makes him stop.
"I would NEVER kill you Katnip." Gale says, in a puppy yet stern voice.
"I'd kill myself to be with Peeta." She says grabbing my hand and intertwining her arm with mine. "I love Peeta more than you and him know." She says, not taking her eyes off of me.
"But, Katnip! I love you too!" Gales says, louder now, but in a winny voice.
"You may, but I DON'T. Sorry. I love Peeta!" She says, her eyes glued to me.
"I Love You too baby!" I say, stroking her cheek with my free hand. She smiles.

Then all of a sudden, Gale....
