Sorry about the wait this could have been out sooner, but my parents kept calling me and I kept having to leave me domain (a.k.a. my room).

Finnick Odair

I immediately wanted to take back those words. But words kept tumbling out of my mouth, tears threatened to escape my eyes and I shook my head. "I hate it Annie. I hate President Snow. I hate the Capitol. Sometimes I wish I never won the Games, sometimes I wish I died because the life of a victor is terrible." I paused "And I-I'm leaving tomorrow. I have to go back to the Capitol, that where I have 'date' with the woman citizens."

"The Capitol women are horrible. It's like they rent me out, when I get home I feel embarrassed. I feel dirty-," I broke off, not wanting to tell her anymore of it. She shouldn't have to hear any of it. I sat there and poured all my secrets out to her.

"M-my father died because of me." I gasped. "When President Snow first told me what I had to do and I went home I ripped the letter into tiny pieces and threw it into the ocean. I got the letter again, only I burnt it. There was no third letter that came. But I knew Snow was serious because my dad died while swimming. They said he drowned. When was the last time someone actually drowned in District 4?"

Afterwards I put my head in my hands and squeezed my eyes shut. I tear escaped from my eyes and fell into the sand. I felt worthless and pathetic, whining about my life to Annie. It could be a lot worse, all of Johanna's family was murdered, after her stunt with her games and she refused to sell herself. I felt something touch my back, I lifted to see Annie stroking my back. Her expression was tender and sympathetic.

I blinked to make sure it was real. Annie was comforting me. Wasn't I the one supposed to be comforting her?

"Did you know you're the first person I told?"

She shook her head, "T-that sounds awful." Her voice was shaking, for the first time in days she spoke. But yet she still sounded sweet and innocent.

I wrapped my arms around her and she rested her head on my shoulder. "You have to promise me a few things Annie."

"What is it?" Her voice was muffled because her face was pressed up against my arm.

"You can't tell anyone what I just told you."

"Okay." Her eyes were shining.

"And when I'm gone, you have to stay strong. No more of this. From now on your healing process actually starts. You talk more, my sister seems to like you, she likes anyone. Do you remember her? She came by and talked to you." I wanted to stay clear of the subject.

"I-I think so. She looks like you, except her hair is a little bit more orange."

Good. At least she could remember things.

I sighed "I have to pack soon, but I don't want to leave you."

Annie slowly stood up "I'll come with then, and help you pack."

"Are you sure you want to? You will be bored."

"I want to spend time with you before you leave."

"Uh okay." I said and we got up.

"We should tell your grandpa."

Annie shook her head, "That will take too long, I will just wave to him at the window."

Before I could say anything she marched up to her window and tapped on it loudly. Her grandpa appeared looking shocked, she pointed to me and continued walking.

"Come on Odair, I had enough sitting for today."

I smiled seeing Annie act like her normal self. I followed her.

I stopped and remember my mom "Annie! Annie wait!"

She spun around "What's wrong?"

"My mom, after my father died…" I broke off and bit my lip, trying not to think about the death of him. "She is… I guess different. Yea, after he uh died, she wasn't the same anymore."

"That's fine." Annie said "Out of all the people out there I should understand."

When we got closer to my house I noticed Annie's nervousness, "What's wrong?"

"What if she doesn't like me?" She asked in a small voice.

I chuckled "Why wouldn't she like you?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'm not likeable."

That time I laughed loudly "Are you serious? Of course she'll like you. What's not to like?"

She smiled slightly "T-thank you."

When we came up to my doorstep Annie looked even more nervous, I grabbed her hand and squeezed it "You will be fine." I didn't want to let go of her hand.

The door swung open and I and Opal stood at the door, she must have finished school. She eyed our hands and we quickly let go. She stepped out and hugged Annie "Hello Annie! Are you talking now?"

Annie smiled "Yea… I guess so." She hugged Opal.

"Do you remember me?" Opal asked hopefully.

"Yes," She nodded "You would come down by the beach sometimes and talk to me. Sorry I never spoke back. I guess I finally found my voice"

"That's good." Opal beamed. She stepped back and let us inside. Mom was sitting on the couch, chewing an apple.

"Hey mom."

She turned to look over at us "Hello." She said slowly. Mom regarded Annie and stood up "You must be Annie Cresta."

Annie nodded "And you're Mrs. Odair, it's nice to meet you." She held out a small hand, my mom slowly blinked and took it and shook it. I was sort of shocked, ever since dad died sometimes she wouldn't speak. She went mute for an entire year. She didn't like touching other people anymore, or being touched. Dad died when Opal was younger, whenever Opal would try to hug mom, my mother would flinch.

Guess for Annie she made an exception.

….

I smiled like a madman when I wrote them hugging/holding hands.
