Me to you

Saying Goodbye

"Peeta.." I start. What can I say that won't hurt him? Nothing. Everything about this conversation will hurt him.
"Yes Katniss?" He asks, worry in his voice.
"I, I," I what? What am I about to say to him. "Peeta I choose Gale, I always did."
The pain on Peeta's face is unimaginable. I feel so guilty, why do I make everything so hard.
"Katniss..." he starts but then changes his mind about whatever he was about to say. "He's better for you I guess. Just remember I love you," he says walking off with pain on his face. I don't bother to call out to him, to tell him to stop, to tell him it's going to be alright. It would be pointless. I love Gale, not Peeta. I walk away from My front door, where I said my farewell to Peeta and realise my feet are taking me to Gale's house. I don't understand why I feel like this. He killed my sister. No he didn't, I remind myself. He might not have even made the bomb, and if he did he didn't drop it. I look at my shoulders, and for the first time since the rebellion they aren't covered. The burns look better than they did, besides there's nothing I can do about them. I convinced Gale to stay in district 12, for his family, for me.
When I reach his front door I knock and don't even have to wait ten seconds before its opened.
"Katniss what are you doing here?" Gale asks, obviously surprised.
"Nice to see you too Gale," I mutter.
He ignores that. "Katniss, you do know I didn't do it, don't you?" He asks.
"Of course, how about we go to the woods, hunt like we use too?" I ask. His face lights up straight away.
"Sure let me just get my shoes on, come in if you want."
I accept the offer and step inside. Despite the bombing in district 12, Gale's house has been repaired pretty well. Hazelle (Gale's mum) comes over and hugs me, being very careful of my shoulders.
"How have you been, living by yourself and everything? Or have you moved in with Peeta?" She asks quietly. Probably not wanting Gale to hear and get upset.
"Actually I broke up with Peeta," I say louder than she spoke, hoping Gale hears, but not wanting it to be obvious that I want him to know.
"Oh," is all she says. I know she wants to ask why, but thinks that she might upset me.
"Because I love someone else," I answer her unasked question. She tilts her head to the side and I nod. She smiles. She knows I mean Gale.
"Tell him," she whispers to me before Game comes back in.
"I will," I say as he is walking down the hall way towards me.
"Bye Katniss, nice seeing you," Hazelle says smiling.
"You too, bye," I say and with that Gale and I leave the house.
I don't actually plan on telling him in the woods, maybe just before we reach the fence.
And I do. "Gale," I say before we are about to go under the fence.
"Yes Catnip?" He asks. It's been a while since he's called me that. I missed it more than I thought.
"I broke up with Peeta," I blurt out. He tilts his head in confusion and opens his mouth to say something, but I cut him off. I lean forwards, and kiss him. He takes it as a shock at first, but the loosens up and wraps his arms around my waist. I wrap mine around his neck. His lips are warm like I remember from last time I kissed him. Not as gentle as Peeta's but I don't care. I chose Gale, not Peeta.
Gale pulls away, smiling at me.
"You kissed me," he says.
"I did," I whisper.
