A million pictures flooded into my mind as the doctor cleared his throat. I gazed at the lopsided plant on the desk as images of Tarsi crushed under the little car locked my gaze; I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Why don't you get it? I need help." I screamed and covered my ears. "You don't want to help me at all, do you? You want me to rot away like..." I paused and realised what I was about to say. I was going to say 'like him'. How stupid am I, how the hell could I just abandon his memory for my selfish own purposes? What was wrong with me? "I can't take it anymore." I murmured before feeling Finnick's warm embrace around my shoulders.
"We don't have to do this, right?... another day?" Finn's voice cracked and he burst into tears. "Annie, lets go." He whispered as Dr Aurelius nodded in agreement. Finnick held my hand as we ran out the hospital and he held me in his arms whilst I sobbed into him. "It's okay. It was too soon, we can try again. It's okay." He whispered into my freshly washed hair.
I closed my eyes and breathed hard. "Soon." I sniffed, smelling his chlorine smell which most found over powering but I loved. "Can't run from things in my mind, can I?" I pressed my head back into Finn's jacket and began to cry again.
"Every now and then you're going to fall..." Finnick stated after we called Johanna to tell her we didn't need a lift, and gained composure. "But ill be here to fall with you and pull you up. Ill always be here." He squeezed my hand as we walked down the road, on our way to my house. I couldn't wait to see Mags and I was actually looking foward to calamari for lunch. Maybe all these events helped me in a funny kind of way, maybe I'd come out normal at long last, maybe everything was going to be fine. After all, who needs a happy ending. I'm just glad I got an ending.
