Chapter two: last goodbye
As they walked through the justice building he noticed something strange. They weren't heading upstairs to the rooms where you say goodbye to your loved ones, they were heading towards the back door, the one that leads straight to the train.
"Where are we going?" Finnick asked the peacekeeper who was keeping an annoyingly close distance between them, as if he didn't want them to run.
"No goodbyes this time Odiar, this year we go straight to the train." the peacekeeper told him as they stepped out of the back door to the justice building and onto the train platform.
"You can't do that!" Finnick shouted as he whipped around to stare the peacekeeper down. Just then he heard a whimper from his left side. He turned his head to see Annie standing at the rope dividing the station from the rest of the district.
"Finnick." she whispered, as if she was to exhausted to say his name any louder. He ran straight to her, not caring that the peacekeepers were trying to hold him back. He just pushed them aside and made his way to the girl he loved.
She jumped over the rope and ran right into his open arms. He enveloped her in a tight embrace and she never wanted him to let go. She felt him kiss the top of her head but wasn't satisfied. She looked up at him and kissed him hard an the mouth, not caring who saw, all she cared about was how much she loved him and how much she needed him to stay with her. They broke apart and embraced once more, not wanting to let go of one another.
"Annie you need to listen to me." he whispered in her ear. " I'm going to come back to you, I promise. Annie I love you more then anything. Don't forget that, okay? Promise me you won't forget that."
"I promise." she whispered, tears flowing from both their eyes. " I love you Finnick. So much."
"Let's go Odiar, times up." the peacekeeper said as he grabbed a hold of Finnick's arm and started to drag him away.
"I'll be back Annie! I promise!" he exclaimed as she got farther and farther away from him.
" I love you." she said back. He couldn't hear her, but he saw her say it. That was enough for him, he knew he had to come back to his Annie.
He got on the train and watched as it pulled out of the station, wanting one more glimpse of her. Mags came over and put a hand on his shoulder. He looked at her and saw the pain in her eyes that reflected his own. She embraced him as if he was some lost child she wanted to protect. "You will get back to her." she mumbled. She pulled back to look at his face and wiped a tear form his eye. Mags was more of a mother to Finnick then anyone. He didn't have a family anymore, a blood family that is. His family now was Annie and Mags, the two people he loved more then anything.
"Thank you." he said to back to her. He felt guilty because he was mopping while Mags had also been reaped, and she didn't get the chance to say goodbye. "I'm sorry." he then said to her.
She whacked him in the arm with her hand as hard as she could. "don't you dare say your sorry! I'm old Finnick, if it's my time, then that's okay with me. You think I could stay at home, watch you and Annie in the games as I wither and die? Not a chance. This is my choice boy, all I want is for you to get home and marry that beautiful girl." she said. He looked at her, searching for any sign of remorse for what she had done for him. He could only find pure confidence and sincerity in her eyes.
"I understand. Thank you Mags, I could never repay you for what you did for Annie. But did you have to hit he so hard?" he joked and she hit him again, chuckling as she did so.
He laughed to but not for long. He couldn't stop thinking of Annie. The way she screamed when her name was called, and how he wasn't going to be there for her when she went into one of her fits. Finnick had one thing on his mind and one thing alone. How was he going to get back to his beloved Annie?
