I think Katniss loves both of them right now. She is sure she loves Gale because he's her best friend and he's been there for her all this time, so it seems natural. But I do think it's a little fuzzy for her to determine what kind of love she has with him. Brotherly love, definitely, but more than that? She tries experimenting with a different kind of love in CF and tries to figure out exactly how she feels about him, but I don't think she's quite got it figured out yet, because her relationship with Peeta is confusing her. She says Peeta and her are just friends, but I think it's more than that. She is always wishing for physical closeness from Peeta; him sleeping with her to drive away her mightmares, wanting him to hold her after he's been so strict in their training, etc. A normal friend wouldn't long for that sort of thing.
Although in Catching Fire Katniss says she has chosen Gale over Peeta, right after that she wakes up, wishing Peeta were there, and then has to remind herself that she chose Gale. I think the quote goes something like this: "And then I remember I'm not supposed to wish that anymore. I have chosen Gale and the rebellion, and a life with Peeta is the Capitol's design, not mine."
So, she basically is thinking "Oh, I wish Peeta were here...whoops! I'm not supposed to want to be with Peeta anymore because I chose Gale! I forgot...I'm going to have to remind myself that whenever I think about Peeta."
So, needless to say, I don't think she's made her final decision yet. :) I am hoping that in Mockingjay she'll realize her true feelings for Peeta and accept them. ♥
