Finnick's POV:
I walked into registration, only five minuets late. "Hey Finny!" Johanna teased. And slapped her hand on my shoulder. "Where's Annie?" Her head cocked to the side. Johanna's short hair tickled my neck and made me squirm.
"She accidentally left her birthday present at the pancake house, Tarsi took her back to get it." I brushed Johanna off and pulled my phone out. Annie hadn't texted me when she said she would but she was probably too busy doing all the crazy dancing in the car she did.
"Hey, Finnick, where were you this morning?" Peeta called over to me over the coffee table. Peeta and I went diving together, I kind of made him so I wasn't alone and in return I went to the gym with him.
"It's Annie's birthday today and we went to the pancake house, sorry mate." I shrugged as Katniss, Peeta's girlfriend, arrived.
"It's fine, mate." He smirked when he saw Katniss and give her a kiss.
"Oh shit." Johanna looked up from her phone and stared at me. "There was an accident outside the pancake house. Didn't you say Annie and Tarsi were there?" I started to shake all over as I fumbled to get my phone from my pocket. I could barely dial Annie's number. I called her.
"Welcome to Tescos mobile-" I hung up.
"Answer phone." I stammered. The hairs on my neck stood up and I began to shake. The kind of shakiness you get when you first step outside your house in the morning in the middle of winter. Johanna tried calling her, Peeta called Tarsi, Katniss called Annie. Every sixteen or seventeen year old in the room was frantically calling the two until Katniss piped up.
"My friend, Madge, works at the pancake house, shall I call her?" Her face was full of worry.
"Yeah please." She dialled the number and everything went silent as she did so. "Hello?" Katniss' eyes went huge as the phone call was connected. "It's Katniss. It's fine. Do you know what happened outside your work? It's just my friend might've been involved and we're all really worried. Oh god. What car? Oh god. Thanks. Bye." Katniss was shaking just as I was and I was thinking the worst. "Madge said that a boy in a red ka was killed in a car accident."
"That's Tarsi." Johanna said, stunned. The whole room was filled with nothingness and all of a sudden I just burst into tears. Johanna stayed with me as everyone else was allowed to go home. The quiet murmers when people left were impossible to ignore.
"Do you think she's okay?"
"Poor Finnick."
"She might be in a coma."
"I can't believe he's dead."
"Hows Annie going to cope if shes okay?"
That last one was stuck in my brain. Even if she was alive, would she even remember me. Or would she remember the accident to vividly it kills her. The questions whirred round my head making me feel sick, making me cling onto Johanna's ac dc shirt, crying. "I bet she'll be fine. You know how strong she is." Johanna's phone started to ring, in the tone of some heavy metal band she loved. "Hello? Oh, yes. No he's fine, just a bit shocked, that's all. Oh that's great. Okay see you soon." She flipped her phone back down and shoved it into her jeans pocket, pulling her leather jacket on. "Annie's at the hospital, shes fine. She wasn't even involved in the accident." Johanna chewed her lip, making her piercing wobble a bit. "Come on." She grabbed my hand and pulled me up.
