We sit and watch the rain as it falls filling our lake to the point of over flowing.
'I love the rain.'
'Not me in my district when it rained it meant we lost a day of work and it caused the peacekeepers to become grouchy. Sometimes we were even forced to work in it especially if it was harvest season.'
'But the rain is beautiful, are you telling me you've never gone out and just danced in the rain and felt it run free and completely take over your body?'
'No because that sounds crazy.'
'Crazy my ass. Come on.' I stand and strip down to my underwear and he looks at me like I was insane.
'What are you doing?'
'I told you, I'm going to have some fun.'

I ran out into the pouring rain his eyes watching me the whole time. I began to dance and spun round and round as the rain soaked through my bones. It felt just like home swimming the ocean, standing under a waterfall and letting the water take me.
'You know, you shouldn't get your bandage wet.'
I gave him the finger and kept dancing feeling better than I had since I was reaped.
'Come inside before you catch a cold and die.'
I rolled my eyes and walked back into the cave dripping, Thresh stood waiting holding out a blanket for me. He wrapped it around my shoulders as my teeth chattered.
'See you're going to get sick.'
I rolled my eyes at him again and he wrapped the blanket more tightly around me. Our eyes locked and out of nowhere he covered my mouth with his in a hungry kiss. My eyes widen in surprise, his mouth was so warm, the caress of his lips softer than I could have ever imagined. He sent warmth through my frozen body and I didn't want it to stop. Suddenly, Thresh pushed away as if he'd been burned, he stumbled backwards.
'I... I... I... have to go.'
He sprinted out into the rain and I stood stuck in the same spot stuck in that moment. I couldn't help but wonder if Thresh's heart was beating as fast as mine, or if he was feeling anything even close to the burning fire of desire that had taken me over.

2 hours. That's how long I waited for him to come back. 2 hours he was out in the rain probably feeling exactly the same as I did now. 2 hours spent sitting in a damp cave all alone except for my thoughts. 2 hours to think about the kiss. 2 hours to drive myself crazy with questions. 2 hours.

I spent the time sitting in the cave entrance thinking, the questions running through my mind.
What if he kissed me because he thought it was a good angle like the 2 from 12?
What if he liked the publicity they were getting and used me to help him win?
What if he was just playing me to get me to do whatever he said, make me fall for him so that he could manipulate me into letting him win?
What if he was just grief stricken over losing Rue and he was just looking for an outlet and this outlet was me?
What if he only kissed me because I was the only person around?
What if it was because he just needed it before he died?
And the biggest question of all if he did like me did I like him back?

He came back dripping wet and shivering his lips tinged blue. I ran towards him and wrapped a blanket around his shoulders as he had down before with me. He refused to look me in the eyes and he mumbled incoherently into his hands.
'Thresh? What are you saying?'
'I... I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean it... you were just standing there... looking the way you do... perfect I mean... and it just happened... I didn't mean to... I understand if you don't want to be in an alliance with me... I...'
I didn't let him finish his rambling; I grabbed the front of his soaking wet shirt and pulled him down to my height our faces inches away from each other.
'I read in a book once that "A kiss may ruin a human life." it's a good thing that that didn't happen this time isn't it.'
His eyes grew wide as my lips crashed against his, he was a hesitant at first but when he wrapped his arms around my neck I knew that he wanted it just as much as I did. I pulled him closer as he nipped at my lower lip before running his tongue along the seam of my lips in an attempt to gain access into the depths of my mouth. I opened my mouth allowing his tongue to swoop in and tangle with mine in a battle of the wills. He pulled me up into his arms and I wrapped my legs around his waist running my fingers through his damp hair. He pulled me down onto the floor of the cave and was running his hands down the length of my body.

I sat bolt upright in bed, sweat poured down my face and tears stained my cheeks. I had thought the dreams had stopped but he was still burned in my mind and I couldn't get him out. He comes to me in the middle of the night and when I wake up I feel guilty. I got out of bed and wandered into the bathroom, I turned on the shower and sank down in the tub fully clothed letting the water over take my body like it did that day.

As I exit the bathroom I hear a knock on the door. I open it a crack and see Gale standing there looking down at me.
'You're not my safety net.'
'Excuse me?'
'Last night you said you didn't want to be my safety net. You're not because; well because I think I'm falling in love with you.' My jaw dropped and I just stood there staring at him. 'Please say something.'
'You think or you know?' He tilted his head to the side looking confused.
'Wha...'
'You said you think, which means you still have feelings for her and you can't be absolutely sure of your feelings for me until you're sure she doesn't feel the same way about you. So I'll ask you again, you think or you know?'
'I don't...'
'That's what I thought, goodbye Gale.' I swung the door shut in his face and curled up on my bed.

I walk into the cafeteria and stop dead, sitting across from Johanna at a table is Peeta. He looks up and smiles at me and motions for me to join them.
'Umm... Hi? What are you?'
'They think more social interaction with people besides you is a good idea.' I looked down at his hands and saw they were chained and raised my eyebrows. 'Even though I need to interact I'm still not "safe".'
'And your idea of positive social interaction is Johanna?' He laughed and Johanna pulled me down into the seat on the next to her and punched me in the arm.
'There were more people but Peeta scared them all away.' He looked down and the table and furrowed his eyebrows.
'Peeta, don't worry you'll get better over time. You got Johanna to stay.'
'Because that's such a great feat.' I let out a laugh and Johanna kicked him under the table causing him to cringe.
'So how's the boyfriend situation going?' I glare at Johanna but Peeta raises his eyebrows and nods,
'I think we'd all like to know that.'
'Oh so you told crazy pants over here too.' Peeta nodded again smiling and I tried to drown myself in my stew.

'He isn't my boyfriend, he made that perfectly clear on multiple occasions.'
'You just need to give him a chance.'
'I gave him plenty of chances Johanna and he still chose her every time.'
'Well I think that they're both horrible people.'
'Thankyou Peeta, I totally agree. Now if you'll excuse me I don't feel like eating anything anymore. Just thinking about him makes me sick.' I got up and walked out of the room trying to erase all memories of Gale from my mind.

Two weeks later Coin finally announced it was time for me to take the test in order to assess if I was ready for battle. The obstacle course and the written were easy I could do it in my sleep but this one could pretty much destroy any chance I have of going into the field. Everyone else was sitting the test as well, Johanna, Peeta, Finnick and Katniss. They wanted to make sure that what we went through wasn't going to get everyone killed. Sitting in the little room reminded me of when I was waiting to be assessed before the games and it freaked the hell out of me. I hear someone mutter that we'd be tested on our weaknesses and I knew I had plenty; my hatred for practically everyone who lived for example could definitely get someone killed since I probably wouldn't try to save them if anything bad happened.

It seemed like forever before my name is called I rise slowly and walk into the Block, I'm instantly thrown into an ambush situation. There are Peacekeepers everywhere, a voice echoes through the arena telling me to rendezvous with my team at a checkpoint no matter what. Taking out the Peacekeepers near me is easy and I make my way to the checkpoint, I'm almost there when I hear a shriek, a high pitched scream that sounds familiar. I whip around and see Annie being dragged away by Peacekeepers out of the nearest building, blinded by rage I drop my gun and am about to run to her when the voice starts speaking again.
'There's no time, you have to make it to the checkpoint.' Her screams echo around the maze and my heart's pounding in my chest. 'Leave her.'
'I'm so sorry.' I whisper under my breath and run full speed towards the checkpoint.

I exit the block sobbing and sink to my knees on the ground. I can't breathe and I feel as though the walls are closing in on me. I think I'm about to explode when Annie comes running in from the other room and wraps her arms around me.
'I'm okay, I'm sorry I made you cry. They said it was the only way they'd let you go on your mission.'
'Thank god you're safe.' I grabbed her and squeeze her so tightly she gasps for air.
'Well done solider, you're cleared for duty. Mrs Odair you need to leave her now so she can report to command.' Annie nods and kisses me on the cheek before leaving, he stamps my hand and I walk down the hall as if in a dream.

I enter the room and see Finnick smiling at me.
'Hey little sis, looks like we're on the same team.' He wraps his arm around my shoulder and look past him and see Gale staring at me I look away and curse to myself. Being on the same squad as him would probably drive me insane.
'So you're with me then are you.' Boggs looks down at me and smiles; I have nothing against him so I smile back. Maybe things won't be that bad, well at least that's what I think before Katniss bursts into the room. This is going to be my worst nightmare.

Kind of a fluffy chapter but finally Jay gets to do something that involves killing. Sorry it took so long but I was uninspired for a long time but finally got some inspiration this week and wrote this. Please Review and Favourite it means a lot.
