Crazy Girl
The Hunger Games does not belong to me. If it did Finnick would still be alive.
Baby why you wanna cry?
You really oughta know that I
Just have to walk away sometimes
She was crying, tears running steadily down her face as she clamped her hands over her ears. Finnick wrapped his arms around her, but she didn't respond. He stood and walked away, returning a moment later with a blanket. Finnick sat next to her again and wrapped his arms tightly around her, staying until she had come back to him.
We're gonna do what lovers do
We're gonna have a fight or two
But I ain't ever changing my mind
"You could have anyone Finnick! Anyone!" Annie shouted and Finnick looked at her, shocked. Annie never shouted, especially not at him.
"Annie, listen to me –" he started.
"No! I don't want to listen anymore! I don't want to listen to you telling me you love me when I know it's not true! When I know that – that you're going to realize you don't want to deal with me anymore." She had stopped shouting and dropped to her knees, sobbing into her hands.
"Oh Annie," Finnick said gently, dropping down next to her.
"I'm sorry Finnick, I'm so sorry," she sobbed into his shoulder.
"Shhh, you have nothing to apologize for and nothing will ever change how I feel about you. I promise."
Crazy girl, don't you know that I love you?
I wouldn't dream of going nowhere
Silly woman, come here let me hold you
Have I told you lately I love you like crazy, girl?
"I love you Annie, so much," Finnick whispered as they sat in the sand of District Four together.
"I love you too Finnick," she whispered back, watching the waves crash against the shore.
I wouldn't last a single day
I'd probably just fade away
Without you I'd lose my mind
He had done it again. He'd brought her back from that dark place that she hated so much. She didn't know what she would do without him. Fade away probably. Finnick was the only one who really cared about her. Her family didn't know how to deal with her anymore and the rest of District Four just deemed her the "mad girl". Without Finnick, she's no one.
Before you ever came along
I was living life all wrong
The smartest thing I ever did was make you all mine
The Capitol started selling me to people what I was sixteen. At least, I think I was sixteen, it could've been earlier, but those first couple years after The Games became a blur. I hated them for what they were doing to me, but I couldn't let them know they were breaking me. So I put on an act: cocky and sensuous. Then you came along, my dear sweet Annie. You see the real me and the best thing that could've ever happened to me was to fall in love with you.
Crazy girl, don't you know that I love you?
I wouldn't dream of going nowhere
Silly woman, come here let me hold you
Have I told you lately I love you like crazy, girl?
Like crazy, girl
We were on the surface of District Thirteen. This was a rarity; they hardly ever let us outside. Finnick said he managed to convince them to let us go for a walk and I wasn't going to complain. Any time spent with Finnick was perfect. He stopped suddenly and looked at me.
"Finnick?"
"Annie, I love you and only you. You are amazing and perfect and I never want to be with anyone else," Finnick dropped onto one knee, "Annie Cresta, will you marry me?"
Crazy girl, don't you know that I love you?
I wouldn't dream of going nowhere
Silly woman, come here let me hold you
Have I told you lately I love you like
The wedding was beautiful; the wedding night full of exploration and love. They were happy, just the two of them. At least, they were for a while.
"I wish you didn't have to go," Annie said, her head resting on Finnick's chest.
"I wish I didn't have to either," he said as he tightened his hold on her, "But I promise I'll come back to you."
"To both of us," she whispered.
"What?" Finnick asked, confused.
"You need to come back to both of us," she said quietly as she lifted her head to look at him, "Me and our baby."
"Our…" he looked at her shocked, but a smile slowly crept over his face, "Are you…?" Annie smiled and nodded.
"I'm pregnant."
Crazy girl, don't you know that I love you?
I wouldn't dream of going nowhere
Silly woman, come here let me hold you
Have I told you lately I love you like crazy, girl?
Finnick never came home. Annie waited but knew when Katniss and the others arrived that he was gone. She spent many nights crying, but never fully slipped into that dark place. She had someone else to keep her going now. When the time came, she was in District Twelve with Peeta and Katniss. They took her to the newly built hospital where she had her little baby boy. Her son. Finnick's son. She looked at the small bundle in her arms and smiled her first genuine smile since she'd lost her husband.
"My little Finnick."
Like crazy,
Crazy girl.
Like crazy,
Crazy girl.
This was my first Hunger Games fic and my first song fic.
I hope you liked it!
RIP Finnick I really wish he had lived (in my mind he did)
Thanks for reading!
