Reliving the Nightmare
I don't want to watch it. The replay of the worst three days of my life, 'the best moments in the games', the tiara resting on my head. I see myself on the screen with Andy and I can't bear it anymore, I have to close my eyes though I can still hear the sounds. I start humming loudly as not to hear the screams I can't bear it. I'm a killer. The screams of my victims. When I open them again it's all over Caesar is next to me comforting me but I don't want it. "It's ok Annie, it's all fine. So what are you plans when you go back home?" he says.
"I don't know. Maybe Finnick and I can be together and try to forget it all. I don't want to be reminded of any of it." I whisper to him. It feels like hours until the interview finally ends. As soon as I get out Finnick hugs me tightly, holding me close. We hadn't been together for a while since the Games. We didn't have time. I hadn't even spoken to him.
"Annie, I love you – we'll be together forever." Says Finnick breathing into my hair. I love him.
"I killed him." I say.
"Shh, I've killed more people than you than you. Though President Snow wants to talk to both of us tomorrow." He says quietly. That can't be good news. But I have to go to the parties and pretend everything is fine, although Finnick and I know it's not.
