Finnick's POV

Annie and I rush back to my house, which thankfully is only three blocks away. But Annie has trouble getting there, and about three quarters of a way there, she looks as if she could pass out. Finally, we are in the safe haven of the Victor Village. I close the door behind us, and Annie gapes at the inside of my home. I smile, and guide her to the living room, but she complains about leaving water tracks all over the place, I simply carry her in my arms across the hallway. She tries to squirm out of them, laughing as she does so, but I keep a firm grip on her. I set her down next to the fireplace and run off to get some dry clothes.

I walk into Meri's room, and the new clothes she has bought are strewn across the floor, pastel skirts and puffy tops, I am kind of disappointed in her lack to stay true to herself, I have no idea why she's going this far with my winnings. I don't really question it but skip to my dad's room, I look in the dresser and I almost immediately see what I'm looking for. My mom's old clothes are stacked neatly in a section of the dresser, I take out a pair of red and white dotted, stretchy pants and I slowly examine the fabric, it still reminds me of my mom when she was first pregnant with Lily, she had these on because her other pants wouldn't fit. She was very petite, but had a huge heart. When she figured out Lily wasn't born the right way, that she was turned the other way in her stomach, my mom wouldn't lose the baby, she went through the very pioneered version of a c-section. She delivered Lily, and got to hold her, but sadly the doctors didn't patch up her stomach completely, and she internally bled to death. I don't realize I'm crying until I look back at the pair of sweats and she drops of water on it. I slam the drawer back into itself, making it shake significantly, and take it with me, I don't want to look back in the drawer again, so I go to my room and pick a black shirt from my closet, and then get a towel from the bathroom.

When I go downstairs, Annie is still standing by the fireplace. I toss the clothes to her and she catches them easily, "Go and change." I go over and wrap the towel around her, using the ends to pull her closer. Her arms wrap around my neck and she leans in towards me. The kiss is soft and sweet, but not nearly satisfying. Sadly, her shivering is still evident through her clothes and I hand her the clothes. Annie gladly takes them and I guide her to the bathroom and then go to my room to change.

I decide it wouldn't be the end of the world if I wore lounge clothes around her and dress in baggy sweatpants and a black t-shirt. I bounce down the stairs at the same moment Annie exits the bathroom. Even though her hair is in tangles, she has no make-up on, and the clothes barely fit her, she looks just as beautiful as she did on the reaping day. She doesn't notice I'm downstairs so I wrap my arms around her wait from behind, and she turns around and leans into them. She sighs in content and I can't blame her, I haven't been this happy in months. We start swaying, but at one point I notice she starts going limp. I look down and see she can barely keep her eyes open, "Tired?" I ask sarcastically, because knowing her, as soon as I ask she will snap awake. To my surprise, she nods and sinks further into me. "Wow. That was unexpected." I say honestly. "I haven't gotten very much sleep lately," she mumbles into my chest. I can't argue with her, although my sleep issues are from the horrific nightmares of the games. I kiss her temple and whisper, "Ok then, lets go get some sleep." I try to get her to move, but she stands there immobile, so I resort to picking her up again. I get halfway to the couch before she's asleep. I lightly laugh and gently set her down on the velvet sofa. I start to walk away, but I'm startles by Annie catching my hand. "Can you stay?"

"Sure."

I crawl behind her on the new-fangled couch, and encircle her in my arms. She nestles into them and immediately falls asleep. She doesn't snore, but I can she her chest puff in and out and her breath is loud and tired. Watching her rest makes me feel tired myself and I slowly drift off as well, knowing we were both here, together, safe.

Ok, that is a serious success as far as I'm concerned. IM SORRY THAT IT IS SHORT! Here is something I want your guy's opinion on. I have my DREAM COUPLE to play Finnick and Annie, but I don't know how well everyone else would take my choices so here they are. For Finnick I would want BENJAMIN STONE to be cast, he's just…hot we need a really good-looking guy! Haha, yeah I'm weird :P For Annie I think Allison Miller. She's so frickin awesome for this! Hope you guys liked this chapter. BYE!
