A/N: Hey guys! I won't be able to update for about a week cuz I'm going on vacation, so here's another chapter! Thanks for all the reviews and everything, it means the world, so please keep it up! Oh, and I'm seeing the midnight premiere, so HAPPY HUNGER GAMES! :)
Down
Annie Cresta was not happy.
Her Finnick, who had just come back to her after he had won the Hunger Games, was gone again. Of course, all victors go on a Victory Tour, but Finnick's seemed to be much longer than Annie had remembered previous years.
Of course, she hadn't really cared about the victors then. This was different.
In actuality, Finnick's tour was longer than normal. The Capitol had requested he stay longer, to become acquainted with the fine people and culture of the Capitol. At least that's what he wrote in a letter to Annie. Annie held the letter in her hand tightly, afraid the wind might confiscate it from her.
Annie,
Being a victor isn't all it's cracked up to be. I've been to all twelve districts, and now I'm in the Capitol. I'll admit it's kinda cool seeing what it's like in the other districts. I'll tell you about it when I get home though. I want to come home so badly, Ann. The Capitol just seems so far away. From the beach, the ocean, but most importantly, from you. I wish you were with me. We could make jokes about the ridiculous Capitol people and their different colored skin, haha. It's so different from Four here. It's too… bright. You can't see the stars anywhere in the sky. I miss lying on the beach with you, and you naming all the constellations. I want to come home soon. I don't know when I'll be back. They asked me to stay a while longer, to acquaint myself with the Capitol people, the Capitol culture, blah blah blah. I don't want to stay here though. I want to go home. I want a hug from you, to hear your laugh, to see your face. It's been far too long, and I need my Annie. After the Capitol, I'll be coming home as fast as possible. I'll be home by the end of the month, at the latest. I look forward to it, more than I can tell you. I miss you Annie Cresta, I'll see you soon.
Love, Finn
Annie squeezed her eyes shut. It had been more than a month since Finnick had written this letter. She felt childish, but she had a fearful feeling in the pit of her stomach, scared he may never come home. She felt her eyes sting with oncoming tears, and she closed her eyes, a tear escaping.
"Why so down Annie?"
Annie turned around to find the only person who could possibly cheer her up. She screamed, and jumped up, tackling Finnick, both of them falling on the sand. Finnick laughed, and pulled Annie closer to him. He wiped away the wetness remaining on her face, and smiled at her. She grinned back, and he buried his face in her long hair, breathing in the smell of sea salt he had missed.
"I'm home Annie."
