Yay, 17 reviews! YAY YAY YAY! Okay, here's the next chapter. Not very long but whatever!

I didn't look at Noah and I didn't move. He watched me for a while then whispered softly, "Annie, I had to tell you before I go to the Games, in case I die. I don't want to regret not telling you this."

I watched the door as he spoke, confused by his words. What did he want?

"Annie, I know your in there. I know you choose not to talk. I believe in you, I believe that you can be who you were before. Annie, I-" There was a knock on the door and Noah groaned. He stood and Finnick opened the door.

"Annie?" Finnick saw Noah standing beside my bed. "Noah, please leave."

Noah looked at me quietly, "I just want to tell Annie something."

Finnick sighed and rolled his eyes, "She needs to sleep."

"Sleep, or sleep, Finnick Odair?" Noah challenged.

"Sleep, now leave." Noah stormed out, glaring at Finnick before Finnick closed the door behind Noah. Finnick smiled at me and took my hand, pulling me lightly. I stood, staring at the door then looking away as Finnick took me to the shower.

He undressed me and pushed me into the shower, grabbing a washcloth and cleaning me. He always did this, after he'd found out that I didn't do anything. It wasn't dirty, it was like when a father washes his child. Finnick did this without talking, which unsettled me. His eyes were stormy as he washed my body.

He dried me off, mouth a straight line. He redressed me in a cotton nightgown and tucked me into bed, focused on the task at hand. He pushed me back onto the bed and pulled the covers to my chin.

"Goodnight, Annie." He shut the lights out as he left the room.

In the dark, I wondered what Noah was about to say. What was so important? I guess I would find out soon enough, I thought as I slipped into sleep.

The next morning, Noah had little time to speak before Julius ushered us around the train as we entered the Capitol. Finnick dressed me again and led me around the Capitol. He took care of everything and sat me down everywhere he went. He spoke to the stylists of Leah and Noah.

When it came to the parade in the Circle, Finnick led me to our seats as mentor and told me what all had happened as we waited for the Chariots. Soon, we saw the chariots come.

The districts passed uneventfully and I only took in our tributes clothing. They were both minimally dressed. Noah was dressed in jeans that were colored green. Their bodies were blue and seemed to be shimmering as if they were underwater. Leah had a long green skirt that tightly hugged her legs and a top that barely covered her breasts which looked like shells. They waved at the crowds.

We listened to President Snow's speech and Finnick pulled me to the elevator when it was done. My eyes stared ahead as Finnick grabbed Noah and Leah's arms. We gathered in the elevator and watched as the district 12 tributes got on. Their eyes were wide as they watched me, obviously remembering when I was last in their district- screaming.

Finnick pulled us out on the Fourth Floor and we had a small dinner. It was quick. Finnick fed me, all I did was open my mouth when he got the fork close. I chewed and swallowed every bite. Noah watched Finnick and me closely, his eyes curiously watching us.

Finnick looked at Leah and Noah. "Done?" He smiled. "Would you two go to your rooms and clean up before bed? You have training tomorrow."

They nodded and left.

Later, after Finnick cleaned me and tucked me into bed, Noah came in. "Annie, maybe now I can tell you!" He smiled and sat on the bed beside me. He pulled me into a sitting position, gently like Finnick had.

"Annie, I want to tell you that-" He was interrupted as an Avox came in to give me a water. The Avox curtsied to Noah and left.

I stared ahead at the wall and wondered again- what is Noah going to tell me? What is this important?

Noah took another breath then blurted out the words I'd thought I'd never hear from anybody, "Annie, I'm in love with you!"
