Omg guys… read this and tell me what you think (I found it on tumblr). I found it a few days ago, and I just reread it then and started sobbing my eyes out once again.

Read and Review, lovelies :)
I do not own the hunger games!

"District 12, where you can starve to death in safety."
"PEETA!" Katniss shouts out before she can stop herself.
Bad move Katniss; the careers heard her. The screen flashes to them, and Cato puts his hand up for silence, "Shut up!" He screams.
Luckily Katniss knows this was a bad move, because she clamps her hand over her mouth; I can't even hear her breath. The careers take off walking in the opposite way of Katniss, and she decides she is going to go back to sleep until day light, when she will look for Peeta.
After she goes to sleep, the screen flashes back to a smirking Cato and Clove. "Looks like lover boy has a chance after all if she finds him…" Clove says.
"No; they are both weak. I know where I cut him. If he isn't dead by now he must be pretty damn close. We can win this, Clo." Cato tells her, taking a step towards her.
She rolls her eyes and smirks at him before walking away. He sighs and follows after her; they don't talk anymore.
I look around the room; Trixie is slumped over in her spot on the floor, asleep. Haymitch nudges me, "Want me to take her up?" He asks me.
"Yeah, sure. Thanks Hay." I tell him. He gives me a kind smile and walks over to her. He mumbles something and she nods in her sleepy state before standing up. She stumbles a bit, so Haymitch just picks her up and walks out of the room.
An avox walks into the room, holding a note out for me. I quickly snatch it from her, shooing her away. The note is from my best friend, President Snow, telling me I have to leave to meet some clients very shortly. Way to give me some notice, Snowy.
…
"Ughhhhhh…" I groan, walking back into the training center. I'm just getting back, and the sun is rising. I've been going for all night, and I'm dropping tired; I wish I could sleep but these stupid drugs are keeping me awake.
I find the victors lounge and walk in, holding my head. Someone grabs my arm and rushes me along but I wince. I look up to see Haymitch once again, "You okay?" He asks me.
I snort, "My god, Haymitch. I've had sex like 7 times tonight; a girl can only go so long without being a bit sore." Then for good measure I bring my hand up and tap his cheek before waddling to my couch.
He catches up with me, "I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?"
I cock my head to the side and look at him weirdly, "Haymitch Abernathy wants to help? Since when?" He takes a sip of his bottle and raises an eyebrow. I sigh, "Get me a bottle would you? Maybe the alcohol will help."
He shuffles away to get me a drink, and I collapse onto the couch with a moan. Finnick is here in an instant, and I peek an eye open. He lifts my feet, sits down, and puts them back on his lap.
Haymitch returns with the bottle, and I try to snatch it greedily, "Oh No! Alcohol will just make it worse, love." Finnick tells me, reaching for the spirits.
"Oh I don't think so. " Then I chug it back. I hear him sigh, and once it's finally gone I wipe my mouth with my sleeve. It burned going down, and I can feel the effects immediately; it's certainly strong stuff. "Hell, Haymitch, what is that?" I say.
He just laughs and walks away, and I try to scrape my tongue free of the taste. It doesn't work though, of course, so I just lie back again.
I look at the screen, and Katniss is finally waking up. She's setting out to find Peeta, and she has quite a long ways to go.
I close my eyes, for what feels like a second, but when I open them again Katniss is shouting Peeta's name. "How long have I been out?" I nudge Finnick.
"Few hours, look!" He says, pointing at the screen.
"Come to finish me off, sweetheart?" Peeta says.
Haymitch laughs incredibly loud at this. Which makes me laugh. Which makes Finn laugh. Which makes Trixie (Who is now sitting next to Finnick) laugh. Which makes most of the other victors laugh. It's like a chain reaction.
We watch in silence as the reunite; Trixie is not liking Katniss at all, after her killing Marvel, so she keeps saying that Peeta shouldn't love her because he's the nice one and Katniss is just a mean girl. Oh the insults of an 8 year old.
Katniss takes off each article of his clothing, bit by bit, and I tell Finnick to cover Trixie's eyes after a while. Katniss seems like the type that is embarrassed by nudity though, so I doubt anything will happen, but just to be sure. "Hey!" Trixie complains.
"Sh," Finnick says. After Katniss tells Peeta to cover himself up with her bag so she can wash his boxers, all of the victors, including Finnick and Johanna burst out laughing. I don't get it.
"What's so funny?" Me and Trixie asks at the same time. Because Peeta is covered up, Finnick slides his hands from Trixie's eyes to her ears.
"She's just so pure. All of us victors could care less about nudity- Johanna goes around naked sometimes, even, and well, everyone has seen me on the… adult channels I'm sure. But it's just so funny because she's weirded out by it."
I burst out laughing now, clutching my stomach, because it's so true. I've seen pretty much all of my victor family naked at some point of time; and I'm sure they've seen me. Yes I was probably knocked out from drugs or to beaten to care but it still counts.
"That's true!" I tell him. He uncovers Trixie's ears and she sends a death glare at me. I raise an eyebrow, "Excuse me, Little Monkey, but what's with the glaring?"
She huffs, crosses her arms, and then slouches in her seat. I shake my head and look back to the screen.
Poor Katniss looks green having to get the pus out of Peeta's leg. "Can't you send them something?" I ask Haymitch.
"Not yet…" He whispers, clearly focused on his tributes.
I sigh and slip my eyes closed again, not wanting to watch anymore.
…
My eyes shoot open as their lips meet. A long, hot, passionate kiss. "Ou la la!" Finnick jokes. Even though I'm still half asleep I punch his arm.
"What'd I miss?" I ask, wiping my eyes.
"They found a cave, and they've been kissing, and Haymitch sent Peeta broth, and well yeah, Peeta's dying." Finnick says.
"WHAT?" I shout, shooting up. I can see Trixie physically jump from my voice, "Sorry…" I mumble.
"He has blood poisoning. Relax, Gemma." Haymitch cuts in.
"RELAX!" I'm suddenly furious. I jump up and stomp over to Haymitch, who sits back in his seat, smirking. "How the hell can I relax if this poor boy is dying from poison! You have to do something! Stop being a lazy drunk and get off your ass to help this boy! Send him medicine! They need to win!"
He laughs at me, and I slap him straight across the face, fuming. Finnick is up and pulling me away as I shout curse words at Haymitch. I see him stand up and glare at me as Finnick pins me against the wall. I try to fight him, "Let me go!" I seethe, but he just gets tighter. I stop and go limp, "Ouch, Finn, you're hurting me."
He loosens his grip a bit, but not enough to free myself. "Did you take your meds lately, Gemma?"
I think about It for a second and then I remember I haven't. I bite my lip, "Yes?"
"Don't lie to me. Dammit." He says, releasing me. "You move you die!" He says, jokingly.
I give him a cheeky grin as he calls an avox over to get me my pill. The avox returns in a few seconds and Finnick is demanding my mouth open, "Open." I open my mouth and he lays it on my tongue. Then my jaw snaps shut. "Swallow it. Don't even think about hiding it under your tongue." Dammit, that's what I was going to do. I sigh and swallow the pill, calming down instantly. "Better, love?" I nod dumbly, "Now go say sorry to Haymitch."
I roll my eyes and grab his hand; if I'm going over there he's coming with me. "How's your.. uh… face?" I ask Haymitch.
He makes a mocking face at me, rubbing his cheek, "Fine, I suppose."
"Sorry… I just…" I mumble, looking to the ground.
"Hey, I know, Gem. Don't worry about it." I look up again to find him smiling at me.
"But you really should send them something?" I joke.
He just snorts and turns back to the screen.
Finnick pulls me to him, "I have to go see a client, love. Stay out of trouble for once. Would you?"
I snort, "Yeah, yeah… We'll see, pretty boy."
