I'd Lie

~If you asked me if I love him… I'd lie~

He was beautiful. She saw it in the way his eyes sparkled when he laughed, and in the way his hair turned copper in the sunlight. She knew that he noticed how she stared at him, because more often than not, she found him staring back.

"You're in love with him." Johanna stated as she sat down beside her.

"No… I'm not. Besides, he has Annie, and I'm supposed to be with Peeta." She countered.

"That just proves the fact that you're in love with him Katniss. Besides, Peeta doesn't understand you, he doesn't understand why you wake up screaming in the middle of the night, and the best he can do is comfort you and tell you everything is going to be okay even though you know that nothing will ever be the same. But Finnick understands. He knows how you feel because he's going through it too. And you fell in love with him for it. Man up and admit it Katniss. You might lose him in the war, and then you'll regret it for life."

Johanna stood up and walked away. Katniss sat there, mulling over the long rant, and started towards Finnick.
