I am back in my room in the training center. Nick is only across the hall from me but I still feel like he is too far away from me. My mind is running through the conversation between Caesar, Nick, and I. I am thinking about how great it felt being in Nick's arms in front of everyone in Panem. I remember the way Nick looked into my eyes. I don't remember ever seeing him that happy. The gray color in his eyes shining not only from the lights on us, but from the happiness.
I smile thinking about how the audience reacted to our relationship. The way even if we just looked at each other the crowd screamed and howled. Then I think of our kiss, this was way better than any other kisses we have shared. The way he just held me in his arms was perfect.
I'm sitting on my bed crossed leg, not even a little bit tired. The thought of Nick just gives me enough energy to live off of. I am twirling my hair around my finger as I think how soon we will be back in District 12 and I can be with my brother, and Nick and I can hunt together.
Then I hear a soft knocking on my door, it's very light, if I was asleep I probably wouldn't have heard it. I got off the bed stepping on my bare feet lightly. I walk over to the door and open it slowly. When I open it I see Nick standing looking back at me. He looks at me with a slight grin on his face.
"I figured you couldn't sleep either."
"I couldn't" I smile at him, I tell him to come in and he does. We sit on the bed both sitting crossed leg facing each other. We talk in small whispers so we don't wake up anyone sleeping in rooms anywhere near us.
We talk about ourselves so we can learn more things about each other. I learned that his favorite color is dark blue and his favorite food is rabbit stew. I learned other little things too that made me feel even closer to him.
We joke around because we finally have time to, there is no deadline to our lives. We can spend as long as we want focusing on each other. I don't know about Nick but I could spend this whole night talking about his hobbies. We almost do spend the whole night talking about things. We tell each other stories of our memories.
Nick tells me a story that makes me laugh so hard I am afraid that I might wake up everyone. The story was about how his father, Gale, taught him to hunt. Gale left in the woods alone one day with just a knife, Nick was so lost and de didn't know how to do anything, the way he described his reactions to everything in the woods were just so funny.
I tell Nick about the time Will fell from a tree one time when I took him hunting, how Will lost his memory for the rest of the day, he of course got it back but I tell him how he was confused and the random funny things he said. Nick laughs, the sound of his laugh is so sweet it fills me with joy
After a few more heart warming stories I find my self yawning and my eyes are getting heavy. I find Nick looking at me when I finish a long yawn. He stands and kissing my cheek.
"Goodnight." he smiles and he heads towards the door. Seeing him walking away discomforts me.
"No, stay, I won't be able to sleep." He turns back to me, and he looks like he hesitates for a second, but he doesn't protest.
We get under the covers and Nick slides is hand over me. Immediately I feel better and I just want to put my head on his shoulder and melt into his chest and go into a nice sleep. I turn my head towards his chest and place it softly on it. He kisses my forehead and then I close my eyes.
"Goodnight Nick." I say softly
Nick makes me feel alive but like I'm dreaming at the same time, he makes me skip a heart beat when he smiles, but he also keeps my heart beating. I think I love him.
This is where I feel like I belong, I may not be in District 12 and maybe I'm in a bed with The son of the man that my dad dislikes, but I love it here. Maybe President Crowe will start some trouble in the future and with the history of my family that could just happen. But I guess it's just one fire that can endlessly burn.
Wow! I didn't expect to get the last chapter up tonight, but I had some extra time, so here you go the last chapter of Endless Fire. I hope you liked it and the rest of the story, the countless hours I worked on this story is unbelievable. Most of the reviews say they want a sequel and I am happy to say..(drum roll) THERE WILL BE ONE! Hahaha! Well I am going to write one but I am going to take a break. (I know, I'm sorry) but I think my social life agrees with me on this one. I need time to let my creative juices flow, and I need to spend time being social, and working on schoolwork. But if you want to keep in touch with me until then and ask me questions follow me on my twitter, /#!/LanieBoBaniee once again thank you so so so so so much for all the reviews. 3 I love all of you!
