The day when Finnick and others would leave has finally come. That morning everyone gathered to say goodbye. A plane owned by Thirteen would take them to the Capitol.
I tried hard not to cry. Almost every soldiers in Thirteen would go to the Capitol, but that was a certain team called 451. That team consisted of Katniss, Gale, Finnick, and some others I didn't know. They wore some kind of uniform labeled 451.
Finnick hugged me tightly. I finally let my tears fell as we hugged each other. If I could, I would freeze time so I wouldn't need to let Finnick go. Even though I was so sure Finnick would survive, it was still so hard to be apart from him. Every night when I had nightmares, Finnick would always be there to calm me down. Who would do that while he's gone?
"I love you, Annie," he said without letting me go.
"I love you too, Finnick," I replied.
"I will be fine," he promised. "I will immediately go back to you once everything's done, Annie. I promise. Wait for me. Once everything's done, we won't need to be apart of each other anymore. Forever."
Another tear fell down from my eyes. "I will wait for you, Finnick. For as long as it takes."
Finnick kissed me, deep and long. I didn't wanna let my most precious thing go, and neither did Finnick.
Finally, it's time for him to leave. I let him go heavily. He hugged me again for the last time. "I'll be back, Annie," he whispered in my ear. "I love you."
"I love you too, Finnick," I whispered. "Go back to me."
"I will," he promised. He kissed me then left. I can't take my eyes off him, as his back looked smaller and smaller. My most precious one's getting far. Finnick stopped and turned his head to me. I waved him goodbye. Goodbye, Finnick! I will always wait for you!
