Annie: Mother
Insane, crazy, unstable, these were words that had described her ever since she had won the Hunger Games. She had never been strong like he had been, letting the Capitol take everything he had so the people he loved would be okay. She had loved him, and had been lucky enough for him to love her back. They had almost had it, almost had the chance to be happy, then he had gone on that mission and never came back.
One of the few things that she remembered as clear as if it had happened minutes ago, the reaping when she was seventeen. Her name had been called and she thought she was dead, that was until she met him. He was her mentor and he for some reason believed in her. She knew that she wouldn't have made it out of the games without him. But she wasn't the same as she had been, even more different then the other victors. When she had woken up after her victory he was standing over her wearing a sad smile, as if his suspicion was correct, she was broken. He was her saving grace, light in the darkness or whatever anyone wanted to call it, he had saved her as much as he could. They had slowly fallen in love and in those moments life was perfect no matter what had happened.
He had left her when she had needed him, she would always need him and he wasn't coming back. She often felt anger run through her at him for leaving, even though she knows its not his fault. If he had just been more careful he would have come back and they could have been happy. If he had loved her as much as he said he did why didn't he come back to her? Why did he have to go at all? Someone else could have gone and left someone else a lonely widow.
But she couldn't be mad at him forever, she loved him too much for that. Besides that was the kind of person he was, he couldn't let the threat to his loved ones remain. He had to do something, anything to help save Panem, even if it endangered his life. On some level she understood why he did it, he wanted to keep the world safe for his son.
Their son who will never meet his father, his wonderful, caring father. This beautiful boy that she had been blessed with was her whole world now, the last piece of him she will ever have. The child would grow up to be exactly like him, she could already tell. That little boy had already saved her in ways he will never know just by being with her. Her son would be loved and taken care of as long as she was on this earth, because he needed her, just like she needed him.
She was no longer a wife, but she was a mother and she will not let his child down.
