Oh dear haha last night I posted the same chapter twice xD my apologies, I may possibly have the flu so my head isn't right haha! Sorry for the late update I've been out of the house all this weekend (yes even when I'm half dying haha!)

"Hey this is Finnick leave your message after the beep."

I bit my lip. "Hey...Finnick. I think we need to talk, I mean, I don't know about you but I feel that we need to get some things out of the way. Like...yeah. Er...call me back." I took the phone from my ear and put my finger over the hang up button, then quickly squeaked out. "By the way, it's Katniss." Then I hung up, groaning.

"Idiot." I muttered. My whole brain was messing up. Its been a week since I found out about being Juliet, how Finnick had lied to me, and I've put off this phone call for too long. I couldn't do it face to face. I wouldn't even know if he wanted to see me. Maybe he lied to push me away intentionally, so he could get back to his old life. Did he do this to other girls?

I walked back and forth in my room, and I heard a knock of the door, then it opened, Glimmer's cheery face brightening my mood.

"Hey! I've just been out with Marvel!" She grinned wickedly and I smirked.

"How's that going?" I leaned against the windowsill, checking my phone.

"Great, now, what about you?" She eyed my phone, and I looked down.

"Hmm, well I gave him a call but I got put to voice mail." I mumbled, and Glimmer gave me a hug.

"Don't worry, I was talking to him earlier and he's worried you won't give him another glance."

I looked down. "Of course I want to be with him again. But I don't want to say it to him. I want him to say it." I bit my lip. I didn't know whether this was a good decision or not, seeing as I knew Finnick and even though he was stressful, it was so worth it. All through class and rehearsing for the school production this week...all I could think about was imaginary conversations between me and him. One where he takes me into his arms and kisses the worries away. The other situation where he'd reject me and run off with Fox or Clove or some other girl. Which brought me back to running my hands through my hair in frustration.

"I need to get some fresh air." I mumbled, grabbing my keys and heading outside. I sat on the side of the wall and observed as Cato and his girlfriend rehearsed their lines. He grinned as he kissed her and she wrapped her arms around him. I sighed. Cato was a really nice guy. Perfect, even. Everyone knew he was taken though. What made him good for Romeo was that he knew how it felt to be madly in love with someone. Me, I was just a good actress. I heard some shuffling feet to my side and glanced up, and I was silent as I watched Finnick sit down next to me.

"Cute, isn't it." He murmured, and I nodded. Best to get this over with.

"Yeah." Was all that came out. Fuck. I was meant to be the confident one here? When had I turned into this vulnerable teenager.

We sat in silence for a while, then made small conversation, until Finnick sighed.

"Well...I best go. It's getting cold out here." He stood up and began to walk off, before I yelled at him.

"Why didn't you reply to my texts...or answer my calls?" I saw him stop walking, and he turned around and sat down again. He looked at his hands when he spoke.

"I...I was scared you'll rub it in my face at how pathetic I was."

"It was pretty pathetic. There you go, fear over."

He gave me a look. "I'm being serious here."

I looked away, not replying.

"Did you want to know what actually happened?"

"I think I already know. Did you sleep with Fox?"

"No, I told you. Never going back there again."

"Which is obviously why you kissed her..."

"I didn't..." He sighed. "...I thought that you didn't want me any more. That you had found Thresh or Peeta and that I was without you again."

"I never slept with Thresh."

"Did you kiss?" He looked at me, but I didn't look at him.

"Yeah. But I thought it best to not tell you. It meant nothing, we were practising for our auditions."

"You have to tell me these things, Katniss."

"And obviously you thought I was up to more than that." I rolled my eyes.

"It looked it from how close you two were. I wasn't thinking. I didn't realise what I said until you were out of my sight."

"Guess you've got to work on that then." I looked up at him shyly, and he smirked at me.

"Does this mean...we're okay? Back together?" He looked nervous, so I nodded.

"Only if we keep no secrets from each other." I was pulled into a bear hug and I gasped for breath. "Hey!"

"Hey babe!" He chuckled. "So am I forgiven?"

"Maybe." I mumbled, and smirked. "You have to be...my slave for the next year."

"Deal, as long as it's only for...the next day."

"You said deal before you changed the contract. A year it is!"

"Nope, I'll just kidnap you." He picked me up and headed further onto the field. I giggled as he walked around with me.

"What are you doing?" I asked as he turned to face the school grounds. He sat us down.

"I just want to remember how this all started. You and me. I...I used to be such the player and now...now I'm actually falling for someone." He looked to me and I gasped.

"I feel the same way." I murmured, "of course, I'm not a player." He smirked and kissed me. He sighed.

"So what now?" I asked.

"What now? Well, I carry on working here, so I can still see you everyday, and you perform all year round and get yourself a good career and you can afford to travel to your home district. Me, I'll still be here until I can find something else, but this is a pretty stable job. We'll get to it when we get to it."

I leaned my head on his shoulder in silence. I knew that me and Finnick wouldn't last forever, I never planned on that. I had a duty, and so did he. But for now we just enjoy the moment in our lives, and appreciate each other until something comes between us. We don't have to worry about that just yet.

He smirked at me. "Glimmer's birthday soon, shall I show you what I got her? I kind of used your idea a little...I wasn't sure what to get so I brought Johanna with me cause Clove is just...you know."

Glimmer got the same birthday present twice. At least she is stocked up now on nail varnish.

:'( it mayyy be the epilogue VERY soon! I loved writing this story haha but I can't drag it out otherwise it'll get boring xD review your thoughts please :D what do you think of the chapter?
