Dinner Time
We sit together on the table at dinner time, with a nice girl named Delly. Finnick is still holding my hand as I see Katniss, the girl who gave me the dress walk in with a girl who was in the Capitol with me – Johanna and the boy, Solider Gale Hawthorne, who saved me from the Capitol, I shiver slightly remembering the cell but Finnick's hand squeezing mine bought me back. I don't care for them though; I'm with Finnick and that's all that matters. My husband. Then I see a boy with handcuffs and guards standing behind him. The boy from the Capitol who gave me that pleading look, even though I could do nothing about it! He walks slowly towards our table and sits down. Katniss seems worried, distressed almost but their supposed to be in love, to be married! Suddenly I hear something that catches my attention, Johanna says something about the Capitol cells, something about them being familiar with each other's screams and I wince remembering the constant high pitched wails. The screams fill my head so I immediately put my hands over my ears to make the screams stop. I hear Andy's scream, Finnick's. "Annie, I'll never let them take you away again, Annie, come back, Annie, please Annie. I love you." I hear a voice in my ear murmur quietly and I feel his arms around me. I slowly move my hands of my ears and the screams have seemed to cease.
"Annie," says Delly smiling, she's always smiling, "did you know it was Peeta who decorated your wedding cake? Back home his family ran the bakery and he did all the icing."
I look cautiously at Johanna, after the comment she made then tell Peeta, "Thank you, Peeta. It was beautiful."
"My pleasure, Annie." he says smiling. Finnick squeezes my hand and I turn to look at him, "If we're going to fit in that walk, we better go." he tells me and I smile. He takes both our trays in one hand and the other still grasps mine. "Good seeing you, Peeta." he tells the boy.
"You be nice to her, Finnick. Or I might just try and take her away from you." Peeta says looking at me. I hold his hand tighter, that I think it hurts him but he doesn't seem to mind. I don't want to leave Finnick; I don't want anyone to take me away from him. I guess I was supposed to be a joke but the cold tone didn't imply that.
"Oh Peeta," says Finnick looking at him coldly, "don't make me sorry I restarted your heart." he leads me away and I move in closely to him. "Don't worry Annie, I won't let him take you away from me. I'd never let anyone do that." he says. I smile as we go for our walk down the quiet corridors of our home. It's not really home to me yet but Finnick's here and that's enough to home for me.
