Wedding Dresses
The girl from the arena has chosen to take me to find a wedding dress from her home in District Twelve. Finnick says she's nice so I decide to go with her. Katniss Everdeen. That's what she's called. Those weird Capitol people also come with us. They're alright, if you consider they're from the Capitol; the Capitol who cold heartedly tortured me to get to Finnick. Sometimes everything gets too much and I start to laugh, so I forget the parts of the Quarter Quell where Finnick and the Katniss girl had to leave Mags because Katniss just reminds me of it. When the laughs fail to drown out the memories I just put my hands over my ears as to stop Mags and Finnick's piercing screams. I stare at a fixed point because that can't bring back any bad memories. It doesn't work though.
Katniss comes of the Hovercraft with me and leads me towards the Victor's Village which reminds me of my home in District Four. A tear falls from my eye as we enter the house which looks so alike to mine, I wish I can go back home. We go upstairs to Katniss' room and in there is a large wardrobe. When she opens it the weird Capitol people start stroking the fabric and one even breaks down into tears. Once they move away I look at all the designs until I find a stunning silk green dress that stops at my ankle. I take it from the hanger and put it against me looking into the full length mirror. It seems like a perfect fit.
"You like that one?" Katniss asks me. I jump in surprise; I didn't know she was there. I just nod my head. "It's beautiful." she concurs, "that ring is very pretty too."
I look down at my new engagement ring. She's seen it before but never made a comment. Many people comment on how pretty it is though back in District Thirteen. I don't particularly like the attention that Finnick and I have been receiving over the last week but I don't care, just so long as I'm back with Finn. And it makes everyone else happy; after all there are never celebrations in Thirteen.
"Yeah it is." I reply. I look back at the dress and I know I want to wear this for the wedding. The green reminds me of his eyes, and home.
