ok guys i just want to say a few things before you read the chapter even though some of you skip these parts i should know when i read others sometimes i do sometimes i don't just matters on how i feel. Anyways the first thing is that someone wrote for chapter 19 that its every time we touch by Cascada and i realize that but apparently it says every time we catch and i, saying now that i did not mean it to say that i must have been in a hurry or something so i apologize for that. the second thing is that i'm going to skip to the very end of the competition cause i know some of you are waiting for me to finish so i'm going to tell you now they make it to the finale and they sing together for the last song and everything so there's going to be only a few more chapters and the last thing is that i hope you enjoy this chapter and realize that i do not own the hunger games :)


Katniss' Pov

This is it if we pass this and do the song right then we win and get the prize money and something 'special' that Snow hasn't told us yet if we win, and god i hope we win. I get out of bed already smelling the food cooking, and no doubt that Peeta is cooking. i get out in the kitchen and sure enough Peeta is cooking us all Pancakes but he's the only person in the kitchen. Quietly walking up to him with his back to me i wrap my arms around his waist and he tenses. He turns around and relaxes when he sees its me and kisses my nose lightly "morning beautiful" he says giving me his perfect half smile "mornin' handsome" i say giving him a small smile and kissing his lips lightly but Peeta pulls me back in for a more passionate kiss, that is until we hear someone clear their throat. I turn my head to see Finn leaning on the counter looking anywhere but us, he's been acting strange since we got here and i'm not sure if its still Annie because they're still not talking or something "is the food ready yet?" he mumbles looking at the food. I let go of Peeta and let him work and go over to where Finn is "are you sure your all right Finn?" i say using my hands to hold onto his nods "i'll be fine when we finally get out of this place"he mumbles looking at where my hands are like if he stares at them long enough then i will magically let go. I say and let go of his arms anyways and walk over to where the table is and sit down watching how Finn follows and sits down across from me and playing with something in his hands "whatcha got there, Finn" i say leaning over the table trying to see what its is. He lifts it up to let me see when i realize its his piece of rope he uses when he thinks. I nod and he brings the rope back to his lap and knots and undoes it until the food is ready and everyone starts to come in so we can eat for the last time here.

Breakfast is as awkward as the first day with everyone not talking the noise coming from the scraping of forks on plates, that is until Gale speaks up "well this is it," we all nod in agreement and he continues "can we just say that no matter what happens out on that stage we will always be more than a band" he finishes putting his hand in the middle of the table, i follow putting my hand in the middle of the table and soon everyone follows. I look over everyone in the room from Gale who became my friend and helped me out of my depression, Madge who has gotten her dream boyfriend and our friendship, Annie and Finn smiling shyly at each other from across the table with loving eyes, and last but not least Peeta who has been my best friend since childhood and my first true love. He looks up at me and gives me one of his perfect smiles and I know everything will be alright as long as were together.

I'm even more nervous as i am getting set up but the person that looks even more nervous than me is Finn I wonder why? once i get the microphone i head out and try to calm everything that could happen. This song will hopefully show the judges that were all friends not just a band.

(A.N ok this song is different then any of the other songs cause everyone gets to sing their own part so it should be fun)

Annie

I can't pretend
To know how you feel
But know that I'm here
Know that I'm real

Finn

Say what you want
Or don't talk at all

Annie

I'm not gonna let you fall
Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you
My shoulders are small
But you can cry on them too

Peeta

Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

Madge

You used to brave the world
All on your own
Now we won't let you go, go it alone

Gale

Be who you wanna be
Always stand tall

Everyone

Not gonna let you fall

Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you
My shoulders are strong
But you can cry on them too

Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

Katniss

I never knew you could take me so far
I've always wanted to hope that you are the ones I need

Peeta

Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you

Peeta then takes my hand and brings me close trapped in his arms as we sing

My shoulders are strong
But you can cry on them too

Everyone

Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

Katniss

Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you

I do the same thing as Peeta did and take his hand and intertwine our fingers

My shoulders are strong
But you can cry on them too

Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

As I finish Peeta leans down and gives me a long and loving kiss and then puts his forehead to mine and whispers "we'll always be more than a band" i smile but start crying as he pulls me into a tight hug.

When we pull away the judges tell us its fine for us to go, Peeta puts his arm around my shoulders and give me a side hug as we make our way back to the apartment to see if we win.


Ok i have to say this is my favorite chapter, i just love romance and i think i'm getting better at writing them tell me what you think i'll try and get another chapter up soon oh and the song was called More than a band By: lemonade mouth and i hoped you like this chapter as much as i do but i think thats impossible but anyways i guess till next time
