The True Mockingjay

Chapter 16

He looked at me and I looked at him. I then leaded into him. Our faces were close. The next thing that happened was that we kissed. I pulled away from him.

"You always do that when I am in pain." He told me.

"No." I commented back to him.

"Yes. Because you want to make me happy. You know that will it is true. We both know you like Peeta." He told me.

"Gale, you know it is complicated. After the games everything changed. You know how about you. But it is complicated with me and Peeta." I told him.

"I know. But I just wish it wasn't complicated. I always wonder what would have happened if I volunteered with you." He told me.

"Then both of our families would not last. Gale because of you my family is alive and healthy. I need you here not in the games with me." I told him.

"I know." He said.

"Ready to go you two?" Boggs asked us.

"Be right there." I told him.

He then went back to the others. I turned to Gale. He looked at me and asked,

"What?"

"Don't compare yourself to Peeta. You did something Peeta could never do. You keep my family alive when I couldn't. What is between me and Peeta is complicated for a reason. I know what we have. I just need time. That is all I am asking for." I told him.

"Okay. But don't think for a minute I am giving up when he comes back into the picture." He told me.

"I won't expect nothing else from you." I told him.

I then walked away from him. He was right behind me. We got all we wanted plus more. We then headed back to district thirteen.

When we got back. We went to find Prim to give her the bunny. I bet she was wondering what happened to it. We found her and my mom in our room. Gale and I entered the room. Prim came right up to me and hugged me. Then my mom did the same thing.

"Here. We got you more things from the house." I said giving my mom the bottles.

"Thanks honey." She said.

"Prim, Gale found you something." I told her.

Gale then gave her the bunny. She took it any smiled. I never seen her so happy. She then gave Gale a hug. My mom looked at me and asked me quietly so I could only hear,

"You okay?"

I nodded yes. But truly I don't know anymore. I am confused on everything. I don't know what to do.
