I'm Sorry.

Johanna presses the four button on the elevator.

She is going to see Finnick. Finnick is her friend, they can have easy conversations and can easily share the dark secrets that all victors have.

They've had some good times and he has been there for her to cry on his shoulder.

However, while Finnick sees Johanna as a good friend Johanna doesn't. She likes Finnick and not just because he is good looking but, because of his kind-hearted nature and interesting sense of humor.

She wants to tell Finnick. She doubts anything will happen, Finnick is too good to put some girl through that. She just wants to let him know, mostly because she is going to let it slip eventually.

The elevator doors open and she steps out.

She sees their escort sitting in the common room filing his nails. He has that ridiculous teal hair and you can see his signature tattoo from his v neck t-shirt. His name is some astrology sign Aquarius or Aries that is what is tattoo is the sign of.

She sighs at his stupidity.

She walks all the way in but, doesn't see him.

"Hey escort." She says.

"Oh look a Miss Johanna Mason it is such a pleasure to see you again. What can I do for you?"

She smirks.

"I want to talk to Finnick… please." She says.

"Oh well he's with the screaming girl now but, I will tell him you want to see him."

"Screaming girl?" Johanna asks confused.

"Yes that Annie." He groans. "The whole floor can't sleep because of her nightmares. She is so over dramatic Johanna." He rolls his eyes.

"Oh yes." She says not really caring. I doubt Annie is being over dramatic.

Most victors have screws loose but, Annie Cresta's all fell out and are rolling around on the ground.

"Well I will try and get him out here."

He rolls his eyes. "But that girl is so needy Johanna, I think she does just to be close to him."

"Maybe." She says. She would be thinking the same thing but, she has met Annie and that girl is not faking. Her hands are always shaking and her eyes fleet around the room or sometimes she just stares off into the distance. It is almost as if she is looking at something or looking for someone.

Johanna does feel sorry for her but, also finds her a little annoying at times. She doesn't like when she screams. Not because the piercing noise hurts her ears but because it reminds her of her screaming family members. She likes it better when Annie is off in her own little world rocking back and forth with her hands over her ears.

Their escort goes to the bedrooms. A few minutes later Finnick comes out.

"Johanna." He smiles.

"That's my name." She smiles.

He walks over to her.

"You weren't doing anything were you?" She asks.

He shakes his head.

"No, I was only back there to get away from Aries as far as escorts go I think he is at the top of the annoying list." He smiles.

"Well I can't be sure if that is true but, I will take your word for it."

"Did you want something?" He asks.

"I wanted to talk to you actually."

"Okay well here I am."

"Yeah maybe we should sit down or something."

"Okay. Are you okay Johanna?" He asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just- Finnick I've known you for a few years." She says.

"Yes you have, and it has been a pleasure Johanna Mason." He smiles "But, why are you telling me this?" He says more seriously.

"I just… you see Finnick." She pauses.

"Yes?" He asks confused.

"Okay Finnick, promise to not interrupt me until I've finished talking okay?" She says.

"Okay?" Finnick says confused again.

"Finnick I like you. I've liked you for a while now and I don't think these feelings will be going away. And it's not in a Capitol girls way like, I like you because you're good looking but, I like you because you're nice and sincere."

Finnick doesn't know what to say, he is just looking at Johanna stunned. Johanna doesn't know about Annie, not that many people do. Besides it's not like he has been romantically involved with Annie for long.

It's been silent for a few minutes.

"Please say something." Johanna whispers.

"Johanna the thing is-

Annie starts to come out to the common room.

"Finnick?" Annie asks quietly. Somewhat scared that he wasn't in the room.

They both look over at her. Johanna slightly angry that she is interrupting this.

"Finn-

Johanna stops talking and sees how Finnick is looking at Annie. Even though she is just walking over here Finnick is looking at her with the greatest satisfaction. He isn't smiling but his eyes are radiating happiness.

"Oh." Johanna says looking at Annie knowing that no matter what she says she would never be able to have Finnick because his heart already belongs to another. His heart belongs to Annie. She doesn't know in what way but, because she can see he cares deeply for this girl she won't do anything. She couldn't, even though she wants to.

Finnick has a difficult life. Well, so does every victor but Finnick's is arguably the worst. If Annie Cresta makes him happy then she shouldn't question it even though she does wonder why he loves the crazy girl.

"Hi." Annie whispers. She always feels uncomfortable around Johanna because she is very intimidating.

"Hi Annie." Johanna says. She looks at Annie and wants to ask if she was sleeping because it looks like she was. Her clothes are all wrinkled and her hair is somewhat messy. It is the middle of the afternoon. The tributes are training so it doesn't matter.

Annie wasn't sleeping persay she was in bed lying down trying to sleep but it didn't come like usual.

"So are you… do you…" Annie clears her throat not sure what she was going to ask. She was debating if she was going to ask how she was doing or if she wanted to work with them during the games.

"I mean.. how are you Johanna." Annie says not really meeting her gaze.

"Fine I'm fine. I mean considering everything." Johanna says but, she isn't looking at Annie she's looking at Finnick. He doesn't think anything of it though.

"That's good." She whispers and starts to crack her knuckles. "I'm okay too."

"Just okay? I would assume it would be better than that." She says and arches her eyebrow as she looks at Finnick again.

Finnick picks up on it this time. Finnick now understands that Johanna knows that he loves Annie.

"I mean… I don't know it could be… maybe." Annie whispers confused.

"So easily manipulated." Johanna mutters under her breath Annie didn't hear but Finnick did and he doesn't like the implications that come along with it. That Finnick manipulated Annie to fall in love with him or that he manipulated her to do other things. Annie isn't that easily manipulative but Johanna makes her nervous so she wants to do whatever to make her happy.

"Oh I see." Johanna says. "I should go." She says abruptly. "My escort will be angry if she finds out I was gone for so long."She smiles.

"O-okay." Annie says.

"Johanna you don't have to leave." Finnick says.

"I know but like I said the escort." She smiles and walks to the elevator but Finnick follows her.

"Johanna-

"It's okay Finnick, I understand now…you love her. You love her so much and… I'm not going to ruin anything you have with her because she makes you happy." Johanna says.

"Johanna-

"I can handle myself." The elevator opens but before she can get on Finnick grabs her wrist.

"What?" She mutters.

"I'm sorry." He whispers.

Johanna turns back around confused.

"What?"

"I'm sorry-

"That's what I though you said." She smirks "You have nothing to be sorry for Finnick. Besides, everyone deserves someone to love right." She smiles.

"Yeah I guess but-

"Yes?"

"Who do you have I mean-

She snorts.

"Like I said I can handle myself besides, I'm banking on you still being my friend unless I totally fucked up."

"Johanna you'll always be my friend." He smiles.

"Thanks." She says and looks to the common room and sees Annie sitting on the couch clasping and unclasping her hands, she looks so uncomfortable. "You should go, I think someone needs you." She says.

"Okay." He says knowing that she is probably right.

She steps on the elevator.

"Bye Finnick."

"Bye Johanna." He smiles and walks back to the common room. She sees him sit next to Annie and wraps his arm around her. She leans comfortably on his shoulder. She looks up at him and kisses him. Then the doors close.

Johanna can't wrap her head around the fact that Finnick Odair loves poor messed up Annie Cresta. She never would've guessed that. No one would've expected it.

"I guess love affairs look different to the people inside them. No one else can understand why they love each other but them." Johanna says. "Finnick's happy with her and that is all that matters." She whispers. "That is all that matters." She says again despite knowing this she can feel a tear roll down her cheek.
