I don't know what to think about this... I think I actually liked it, although it's not the best. haha

What I tried to do in this chapter was explaining Finnick's personality, I mean, the way he hides all his pain.

If you don't like the idea of Finnick's POV, you can skip the chapter, it doesn't affect the story.

Anyway, I hope you like it. xo

Lately, I've been feeling different. I'm feeling alive, even though sometimes I still feel dead inside.

Annie's death destroyed me, it smashed every single desire to live I had. Of course, nobody knows that, except for one person who may suspect it: Katniss; no matter how hard I try to hide what I feel, she finds a way to break into my mind and figure out what I'm going through, I've got to admit that a half of me dislikes it, because it makes me feel vulnerable and frustrated whenever she does it, while the other half likes it, because keeping the façade of the charming, cocky and unbreakable Finnick is kind of tiring.

I'm in Katniss' room; we're laying in her bed, kissing, when suddenly Gale breaks in and pulls me away from her. Crap. Things have just got real.

He punches me in the face, so I hit him back as hard as I can.

"What the hell?!" Katniss yells.

"That's what I should be asking!" Gale yells at her.

He didn't do that… I feel the anger running through my veins and I punch him in the jaw.

"Don't talk to her like that!" I yell.

"Stop!" She screams and steps between both of us.

Gale frowns, pushes me away and leaves.

"Are you ok?" Katniss asks as she helps me to sit in her bed.

My lip stains, but I ignore it.

"He's an asshole…" I mutter holding back a smile.

"Do you want me to go get some ice?" She asks.

"No, I'm okay." I reply smiling.

"Are you sure? You're bleeding."

I hold back a smile

"I'm not going to die because a little of blood…" I reply laughing and lay in her bed.

"Okay…" She mutters as she sits next to me.

"Now is the moment when you rip your shirt off to wipe my blood…" I whisper seductively in her ear "Or is it the other way around?"

She gently wipes the blood off my lip with my shirt and kisses me.

"I should let your boyfriend punch me more often." I whisper and smile against her lips.

I know I screwed it up by saying that when I look at her expression.

"He's not my boyfriend." She mutters. "Why would you do that anyway?!"

"For you to take care of me." I smile innocently and cock an eyebrow.

"If you're really injured, I should take you to the nursery." She mutters.

"I'm fine." I smile seductively "I'll be fine as long as you take care of me."

"Is Finnick Odair asking me to take care of him?" She asks.

"Yeah." I mutter as I kiss her hard.

I pull her closer to my body and wrap tightly my arms around her waist, I feel her warmth against me and for some strange reason, it makes me feel complete.

She sits in my lap as I slowly kiss her neck, she pulls me back to her lips and I bite her bottom lip. Suddenly she leans back and we catch our breath

"I'm sorry Finnick." She whispers as she sits on other edge of the bed.

«No! » My subconscious yells. I need her next to me, but I won't make her stay by my side if she doesn't want to.

"No, I'm sorry." I sit next to her and run my fingers along her jawline. She loses herself in her thoughts "Katniss, come back." I mutter looking her in the eyes. They're grey and shine beautifully under the light.

"Sorry." She replies.

"Why are you apologizing?" I ask laughing nervously.

"I don't know."

I should let her go and talk to Gale, as much as I don't want to let her walk away from me. «Stop it Finnick. » I sigh.

"What is it?" She asks

"I think you should go talk to Gale." I mutter.

"Do you think he'll want to talk to me?" She sighs.

How can she ask that? Isn't it obvious?

"He's your friend. And he's in love with you… If I was him, I'd rather keep you as a friend than losing you." I reply and smile at her.

"I'm not sure… He looked pretty angry."

"Of course he did!" I grin "He's jealous. He thinks I'm stealing his girl."

"Okay…" She agrees "You should get a little ice for that eye…" She blushes.

I like it when she blushes.

"I thought you were going to take care of me…" I pouch.

"I think you're old enough to take care of yourself." She replies as she stands up.

I lay down on her bed and cross my arms behind my head.

"I'll be waiting right here for you." I mutter seductively.

"What if my mom or Prim come back?" She asks.

Crap! I forgot that she's living with her mom and sister.

"Then, I'll be in my room." I reply laughing nervously.

"Okay." She says before leaving.

As soon as she leaves, my body starts aching. I get out of her bed and walk to my room.

What is going on with me? What is she doing to me? Why do I want to bring down the wall that hides my feelings when I'm with her?

Maybe this is what a real friendship is like. Having no secrets, telling everything to each other…

But, what's with the need of being around her and the feeling of emptiness I get whenever I'm away from her? Perhaps it's because I can talk to her about anything.

I lay in my bed.

I used to feel this way with Annie, but with her was different, she was my girlfriend. Of course it was different.

Annie… I haven't thought about her in the whole day…

I still don't know why the hell she did that… What about all of our plans?... What about me?

My eyes start to burn. I can't cry. I won't cry.

I try to think about something else, but nothing comes to my mind. Right now, she's all that's in my head.

I think about all the times we kissed, all the moments we were together, and every single time I told her that everything would be okay. Nothing was completely okay, but… Things were better… I was better.

I hear Annie's voice calling my name.

I need to get her out of my mind. I need to stop thinking about her. At least, until it doesn't hurt as much as it does right now.

I kick a shelf.

I continue kicking everything that's in my way, until I get tired.

I lay in my bed, clench my eyes and cover my ears.

«Where's Katniss?» That's all I can think about. She's taking too long to come. I need her to calm me down.

That's it for this chapter!(:

Please tell me if you're liking the story or if you think there's a lack of something.

And, as always I want to thank you for all of your support!

OH! And I almost forgot to tell you: We're only a few chapters away until they start planning the first attack to the Capitol!
