I'm so sorry for the less frequent updates! I have been having final exams, but as soon as the dreadful things are over I should be updating faster!

…..

Finnick Odair.

Stupid. Stupid. STUPID!

Why did I go into her room? You're not supposed to go into innocent 17-year old bedrooms. Especially a pretty little thing like Annie. Why did I even go into her room? I didn't really even need to tell her anything important, I guess I just wanted to see Annie, which is a horrible idea, she probably thinks in some weird creepy person now.

I really hoped Annie wouldn't die. Her chances are very slim, but if I had to choose I guess I would go for the underdog. The thought of my tributes dying sickened me. I don't think I ever have felt this for my tributes. So… protective, somehow Max and Annie have found their way to my heart and I guess they planned on staying there.

Tonight I had to go out and find more sponsors, I made Mags stay because she wasn't feeling the best. After slipping on a tuxedo, I quietly walked out the door.

After I jolt wakes me up, I instantly knew I slept in. The sun's rays leak into my room, with dust hazily floating around. Mags green eyes are right in my face.

"Finnick. Finnick! You've slept in."

I slowly got up and rubbed my eyes. "Are they already up?"

Mags nodded "Yes, and they are already at the Training Center."

Shoot! "Thanks Mags for getting them ready."

She smiled and softly punched me in the shoulder. "Okay. But next time you get up early and get them ready."

Mags left the room and I changed out of my tuxedo that I slept in. What the hell did I do last night? Was it bad? If it was I could just see the headlines for the Capitol's gossips magazine's 'Finnick Wild Night' Would probably be it, the Capitol aren't very original.

I managed to sneak a pastry from the kitchen and I made my way down to where the mentors sit and wait their tributes train.

Johanna snickered as I walked in and sat down next to her. "You… uh have something in your hair."

I ran my fingers through my bronze hair until I found a long pink streamer, and I stuck it in Johanna's hair.

She pulled it out and let it drop to the floor. I sat down next to her and stared at her accusingly.

"What?" She asked innocently, which made me want to groan. Nothing about Johanna is innocent.

"You did something to me last night."

Johanna placed a hand over her plump chest. "Why would I do that? I would never!"

I rolled my eyes. "Sure… But seriously, what did I do last night?"

"Well, you and good old Haymitch had a drinking game last night." Johanna smiled.

"What were the rules?" I asked cautiously.

"Each time you'd finish a drink. You drink again." She laughed.

I never knew how determined Annie was. Whenever she failed or fell, she was right back up again, trying her hardest. She could walk along the top of monkey bars, and climb up the net along the roof. She saw the window where we sit and she waved almost happily at us. Which made me grin.

In fact, it almost made Johanna smile. I saw the corners of her mouth twitch.

Maxem was doing very well as well. He looked like he would be the leader of the Career pack. I just hoped he could look out for Annie as well.

Later that night Annie wasn't her cheerful and happy self. So later before she went into her room I asked "What's wrong Annie?"

Fear swam through her beautiful green eyes. "N-Nothing."

I shook my head "Obviously something is wrong."

Annie closed her eyes and said quietly. "I'm scared."

"Of the Games?" When she nodded I realized how stupid the question was. I had the strong urge to comfort her. I wrapped my arms around her and brought her close. "You can do this Annie. I will be there to help you throughout the way."

"What about Maxem" She asked in a quiet voice.

"He will get just as much help." I promised.

Then I put my hands on her shoulder. My hands were so big they completely covered them, and I looked into her eyes. "Goodnight Annie."

Then I kissed her on the cheek.
