It's All Over

K: On our way

Agatha? When did he ever get together with Agatha?

Agatha's the girl who's been swooning around Gale even before I volunteered in the games.

And she extremely annoyed me.

The next morning, as Peeta prepares the vehicle, I confront Gale.

"So, Agatha huh?" I snicker. He raises his eyebrows at me.

"You never told me." I say. He smirks.

"You needn't know. There's nothing to know." he responds.

"Gale, you told me we're still friends."

"What does it matter to you anyway?" he says hastily.

"Of course it matters. You're family."

"Family." He scoffs. He put his hands in his pockets and stares at the ground.

"Let's go! Ron's driving us." Peeta arrives, a young guy in a uniform with dark side burns at his heel. Ron gives us a pleasant smile.

Gale lifts his bag but to Ron's hurry.

"Let me get that, sir." says Ron as he tugged the bag out of Gale's hands. Gale's tried to protest but Ron quickly walked away. I can hear Peeta suppressing a laugh.

"Shall we?" then off we go.

No one really spoke during the ride. I can feel the tension between Gale and I. I bet Peeta could feel the coldness,too.

And then...

"Argh!!"

"Ugh, what's happening?!!!?"

"Oompf! What the hell?!"

The carriage went to a sudden jolt, shaking us inside. We can hear the the horse neighing and flailing outside. 

As of now, the carriage is inclined in a weird angle. We have a hard time balancing. Peeta scrambles to get out.

"What happened Ron?"

I follow him outside to see him looking at Ron.

Ron is kneeling beside the place where a wheel should've been.

"We came upon a deep, jagged hole, sir. I've already examined it. This was what I recovered.."

He shows the wheel, now broken into two.

"What are we going do now?" Peeta asks, frustrated.

"It's okay, if you're worrying that we're in the middle of nowhere." Gale says. I didn't notice that he was already behind me. He pulls his bag out of the compartment.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I recognize this place. Our house isn't that far." then he starts walking.

"W-wait for us!" I say. He didn't stop. I can hear myself growl a little. So this is how you wanna do it? Bring it on.

"Mom!" Gale declares. We are behind him right now, expecting Hazelle to come out. Instead, we heard clambering footsteps.

"Gale!!" they shout. Rory, Vick, and Posy hurries to hug Gale. Gale drops his bag to lift Posy up in the air.

"How's our little princess?" Gale asks as he spins around, much to Posy's pleasure. Posy giggles and shouts Gale's name. Finally, he sets her down.

"Have you been taking care of our little Vick and Posy, Rory?" Gale seriously asks.

"Yes sir!" Rory salutes. Gale smiles and ruffles the boy's hair.

"Gale!" Hazelle shouts, wiping her hands clean on the apron she's wearing. They hug each other. "You've grown a lot. A fine young man, just like your dad." she says as she examines Gale's face, tears welling up on her eyes.

"Mom," Gale almost whined. "You know I don't know want you crying."

Hazelle sniffs and nods, and then wipes her eyes.

"Katniss, Peeta," she then hugs me and shake Peeta's hand.

"Long time no see," I say with a smile.

"Yeah. Missed you and your mother." she replies. She was about to say something to Peeta when someone screamed and almost shattered our eardrums.

"Gale!!" and a girl suddenly hugs him.

"Agatha.." I whisper fiercely.
