Chapter 5 KPOV
Previously (IN KPOV)
"Finnick you promised you wouldn't leave me! Please don't. You have lost a lot of blood and I'm scared. I haven't cared for anyone like this since my father had died. Even though we only just met I can't imagine my life without you. Ever since I walked up to you that day I couldn't shake that feeling. I think I love you." I whisper the last part. Sobs racking my fragile little body. Then I places a kiss on his cheek before he passes out.
I sit there and cry holding onto Finnick's hand. Hoping he won't die on me. I can't lose him. I think I have fallen in love with him. His smile, voice, humor, just…him. I can't deny any of the feelings I am having for him. I look back down to his face and take in all of his features. Pale skin, long eyelashes, and high cheekbones. He's beautiful. His eyes flutter like he is in a bad dream.
"Finnick…. Finnick? Please remember I will always be with you. I love you." I whisper. My voice has gone hoarse. I feel my tears trickle down my face and I watch as they land on his face. I go to wipe them off when he speaks.
"I… love you too." He whispers back. I gasp. He opens up his beautiful eyes for me to see.
"I'll never leave you." He tells me. I smile. I cannot deny that I love him because I do. And I am falling hard.
"Promise you'll catch me while I am falling?" I ask him. The smile still on my face. His face shows confusion.
"What do you mean?" He asks.
"I'm falling for you Finnick." I announce. He beams in an instant.
"Well, only if you catch me." He says and sticks out his pinkie. We both chuckle and lock fingers.
"I did you really mean it.. You won't leave me… you'll always be there?" He asks.
"If I didn't mean it I wouldn't have said it." I tell him.
"My mom gave you some capitol medicine so you should be all better in an hour or so." I tell him. He smiles at me.
"Perfect." He says.
"I know you'll be able to be up and running once the medicine kicks in." I say as I get a glass of water for him.
"I wasn't talking about my leg." He mumbles but I still hear. I stand there not knowing what to do then I finally remember I had water in my hands so I give it to him.
"I am no where near perfect Finnick." I tell him with a sigh. He looks at me like I have grown three heads.
"Katniss in my eyes you are everything. You're the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and I wouldn't change anything that happened the day we met. Please stay with me." He asks me with hopeful eyes. I smile and say the word my father always answered me with.
"Always." Then I lean down while he leans up. When our lips meet I feel a shock and a warm tingly feeling fills my chest. His lips are warm and soft. He smells like the woods. That's my favorite smell. We stay like that until someone clears their throat, clearly trying to catch our attention. Finnick just waves them off and we continue until the person actually separates us. I look up to find Marvel smirking at us.
"Couldn't wait till he was better sis?" I smile and both me and Finnick shake our heads. He smirks and pats our heads. Then he takes out his jacket and throws it at me.
"You can use this. I got a new hoodie." Then he walks through the door. When I think he can't hear me I turn to Finnick and say,
"If he thinks I am not gonna bother his new hoodie he's either crazy, or he doesn't know me that well." We both laugh and I go up to Marvel's room to look for the hoodie. I finally found it after five minutes of searching. I run back down the stairs to find Finnick looking at our picture album.
"I found it! But where did you find that?" I ask.
"It was under my pillow. Can we look at it?" He asks me. I nod, put on the hoodie, and sit beside him.
"The first picture is of me and my cousin, Johanna. We made crowns of daisies and poppies. It was my birthday." I tell him. He nods and flips to the next page.
"That one is of me and my father. We were playing tag. And some kids on the side of the road was making fun of the way I looked so my dad took me back to our secret tree and was holding me up in the air, spinning me. Trying to cheer me up." I say. Finnick looks at me and puts his arm around my waist.
"That one is of the whole family. We were celebrating Primrose's birth. She is the one in the middle." I say as I point to Prim. He flips the page to reveal the last and most recent picture.
"That is me and Prim just before my father had died and I didn't have cancer." I say. I look at the picture, taking in all of the detail. Prim's smooth, tanned skin. We were always in the sun but my father and I tan way better than anyone else in our family. I have an olive skin tone in this picture. Prim and I are laughing. Our cheeks pink and our eyes glistening. We were so happy that day. Our father had gotten a raise and Prim bought her very first hair bow. I had my very first target practice.
"Your look very happy in this picture. If you don't mind me asking, how did your father die?" He asks.
"It was a week before I was diagnosed with cancer. There was this house fire that my father was in and I tried, I tried to save him. I ran in the house and when I saw my father the walls just collapsed. I heard him screaming for me to get out but I didn't listen. I kept trying to find away out for him when the firefighters dragged me out of the burning building. I screamed and hollered but they wouldn't let me go. They couldn't save my father though. And I got scars from the fire up my back and down the back of my arms." I tell him. Then I show him the scars. He traces them for a while. He looks back at me and gives me a hug. Comforting me.
"Hey why don't we take some more pictures and when we look back on this we can say we had fun." He says. I nod and go off to get a camera. When I make it there I open up the drawer and take out two cameras. One for me and one for Finnick. When I do open it I see letters at the bottom of the drawer. They are all addressed to me. They look really old and have been opened. I have never gotten a letter before so I know I couldn't have read them. So I pick those up as well. When I return to Finnick I sit down in front of him.
"Here these two cameras are for us. I also found some letters and I have never read them but they are addressed to me. I never knew I had gotten a letter but will you read them with me?" I ask.
"Yeah sure but lets take some pictures first." He tells me then pokes my side. I giggle and Finnick takes a picture of that really quick. I poke each side of his face so he looks like a fish and take a picture. Then Finnick pulls me in for a kiss and takes a picture of that. Then we take one of us looking at each other and smiling. One where we are faced to the camera smiling. Then a question pops up in my head.
"Finnick… what are we?" I ask.
"What do you want us to be?" He asks back.
"More than friends." I say.
"Okay then do you want to be my girlfriend Katniss?" He asks me. I immediately beam and hug him.
"Yes!" I tell him as he wraps his arms around me.
"Ok let's read the letters." I say, the smile never leaves my face. I open up the first one with the number, 1, on it. There are a total of six letter. I open the first one and we begin to read. The smile drops off of my face immediately. This cannot be happening.
