I thought the pic above was really funny. Anyways, here's the chapter!

~Katniss POV~

Gale stands there looking very confused. And I know because of the same look he'd give me in the woods when I say something wrong.

"What are you doing here?" He asks me.
"I was meeting with Paylor. And you?" I respond. The awkwardness is almost too much to bear. I haven't spoken to him in so long.

"Just visiting a friend." Gale says. It's silent for a while. I just stare at the wall, hoping he goes away. There are lots of shuffles in the hallway, then the one person that could make it worse walks in. Peeta. And Willow.

Not that I'm upset he rushed over, I'm happy, it's just that the bad things could happen because Gale is here too.

Peeta gives Gale a look of frustration, then directs his attention to me.
"You invited Gale?" He asks me.
"No, he just popped up. Can I see Willow?" I respond. Peeta walks over and hands her to me. She starts to doze off as Gale and Peeta start talking.

"So, you just came to say hi?" Peeta asks.
"Well, I was just coming to visit a friend, and I saw that she was here too. If I could know why she's in the hospital, I could start a conversation." Gale states.

"Well, her medical issues are not your concern, and you've said hi to her." Peeta responds, gesturing to the door. Now I'm even more glad that Peeta's here. He may be a little over-protective, but he can say things that I can't.

Gale stands there with his arms crossed, staring at Peeta.
"Look, I'm just trying to connect with an old friend." Gale says.
"We're not friends." I blurt out. "And you need to leave." Peeta takes a step towards Gale, and he shoves Peeta.

"Calm down." Peeta says after regaining his balance. I can see the rage in Gale's eyes. He walks over to Peeta and shoves him onto the ground.

"Gale, stop!" I yell. He goes onto his knees and starts punching Peeta. I put Willow down (luckily, she's asleep) and jump out of the hospital bed. I shove Gale off of him and try to check on Peeta, but Gale grabs me and pulls me away from him.

I reach behind me and claw his arm. He lets go of me long enough for me to turn around and push him to the ground.

"What is wrong with you?!" I shout. "You knocked out my husband, and almost did the same to me!"
"I'm sorry, I-" Gale starts, but I cut him off.

"No, sorry isn't good enough. I want you out of my life." I sternly blurt out.
"What did I do before that made you shut me out?!" Gale shrieks.
"You killed Prim! You ruined my life! And I will never forgive you!" I scream. Tears start to well up in my eyes, but I blink them away.

"If it weren't for you shooting a fucking arrow at that damn forcefield, none of this would have happened!" He yells. The anger welling up inside of me is like a raging storm. I dart over and punch Gale right in the chin.

"Don't ever talk to me like that again you son of a bitch. Now get out of my life and stay out. I don't ever want to see you again." I say to him. He gets up and leaves the room in silence.

I walk over to Peeta and crouch down to him. He's just now regaining consciousness.

"Do you need some ice?" I ask him.
"No, I'll be fine. Where's gale?" Peeta responds.

"He's gone. We won't ever have to deal with him again."

~Haymitch POV~

The doctor sits in a chair across the room, explaining the medicine, signs to look for, and Effie's health.

"Now, about the baby." He says. "Effie, you are already about 3, maybe 4 months into your pregnancy."

"Is it ok?" Effie asks.
"Yes, the baby's healthy. Just look out for more morning sickness than usual, fever, and any sort of rash. Other than that, you're free to go!" The doctor replies.

As soon as the doctor's gone, Effie jumps out of bed and starts getting ready to leave.

"Maybe we should try and find Katniss." I blurt out.
"Why is she here?" Effie questions. So I tell her about me bringing her so I could get revenge, and about our argument.

"Well, she definitely won't want to see you for a while. But, she might want to see me. I'll go talk to her." Effie says. Together, we walk down the hallway to Katniss' room.

Hello everybody! So sorry for the wait, I was just stuck. And I know, I'm not good at writing fight scenes, but I tried. I will update soon!

Question of the day: I've been thinking about writing a fanfic about if Haymitch went into the quarter quell. Should I write it?
