I'm Yours, You're Mine Chapter 31, a hunger games fanfic

Since I have got some pms about ViVi's victory tour dresses, I will post them all on my instagram, district4demigod. They'll also probably be under #victorytourdresses. But they won't be in order, so you'll have to scroll down to see which District I have it listed as.Thanks to Zedd for the first song in this chapter, "Clarity" (feat. Foxes). Also, thanks to Selena Gomez and the Scene for "A Year Without Rain."

Disclaimer: I don't own the Panem'in Hunger Games.

District 9 is horrible. I stand there in my pink dress embroideres with gold-leaf ivy and roses while the families of Sarah and Wheat (that's what Finnick told me the boy's name is). I accept my plaque, gve my speech, say me part about Sarah and Wheat (*cough* weird name *cough* *cough*) pretend to eat at the feast. I walk to my room on the train when we're out of District 9, only to find Marlin sitting on my bed. His knees are drawn up to his chest, and he's holding two pictures.

I walk over to see which pictures. One is a picture of his now-dead family, and one is a picture of us at our wedding, the sun setting in the background. "You know, I'm only mad at you because you didn't tell me. I'm not angry with you because Snow used you. It was bound to happen eventually," I say, resting my hand on his knee. He gives an involuntary yelp as he shudders. Apparently he was so absorbed in the pictures that he didn't notice that I came in. He sighs.

"It's happening. Snow is tearing us apart," he says. "We can fix that when we get home. Just wondering, did Snow... tell you anything about me when you were n the Capitol?" "Um, no. Why do you ask?" I smile, relieved. "Oh, no reason at all. Now, it's time for bed." I lead him across the room and go back to my room. I sigh, because however broken I am, he's ten times worse. I need to be ready for District 8 tomorrow, so I try to get some sleep. But when I can't, I sing instead.

"High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey

Why are you my clarity? Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?"

I eventually fall asleep to the rocking of the train. The screams begin in the middle of the night, and I can hear them from across the hall. It's like torture, hearing him say it.

"NO! TAKE ME INSTEAD! PLEASE! I'LL DO ANYTHING, JUST DON'T HURT HER! NO, PLEASE! ANYTHING, I'LL DO ANYTHING! DON'T HURT HER, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE I HAVE LEFT! YOU ALREADY KILLED THE REST OF THEM! SHE'S THE ONLY ONE LEFT! TAKE ME INSTEAD, PLEASE! SELL ME, KILL ME, I DON'T CARE! JUST DON'T HURT HER! NOOO, VICTORIA! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! I DID WHAT YOU WANTED, DON'T HURT HER! SHE'S ALL I HAVE LEFT! NOOOOO!"

I hop out of bed, race all the way to his bedside, and start to shake him. He shaking so bad though, he probably doesn't even notice. "Marlin, wake up! I'm right here! I'm safe, I'm safe, they're not hurting me!" I scream, most likely succeeding in waking up everyone on the train that didn't hear Marlin first. It doesn't work. "PLEASE, ANYONE BUT HER! I LOVE HER, PLEASE!" I pinch his nose closed and kiss him on the lips. He splutters and heaves himself up into a sitting position. "NOOO... Oh, thank god!" He takes my face in his hands. After a few seconds, he hugs me so tight I almost can't breathe. I tickle his neck to make him let go, and tell him I need to sleep, so would please shut up. Then I lay down next him.

"Uhmm... do you want me to move to the next room?" he asks. I turn my head towards him. "Nope." He smiles. "Good. I need you." "Uh-huh, I know you do. Now if you would politely shut your mouth and go to sleep." "Fine, but how about one song? Please?" He sticks out his bottom lip. Damn, he has such a cute puppy face, it makes my heart melt. "Fine. ONE song."

"Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh.

Can you feel me
When I think about you?
With every breath I take
Every minute
No matter what I do

My world is an empty place
Like I'd been wandering the desert
For a thousand days (oh)
Don't know if it's a mirage
But I always see your face, baby

I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'd survive
A day without you is like a year without rain (oh, whoa)
Whoa, oh, whoa

The stars are burning
I hear your voice in my mind (voice in my mind)
Can't you hear me calling?
My heart is yearning
Like the ocean that's running dry
Catch me, I'm falling

It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet
Won't you save me?
There's gonna be a monsoon when you get back to me, oh, baby

I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'dd survive
A day without you is like a year without rain (oh, whoa)
Whoa, oh, whoa

So let this drought come to an end
And make this desert flower again
I'm so glad you found me
Stick around me,
Baby baby baby oooh

It's a world of wonder with you in my life
So hurry, baby, don't waste no more time
I need you here, I can't explain
But a day without you is like a year without rain (oh, whoa)

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh."

I look over at him. His eyes are closed, his eyelashes flutter gently, and his chest rises and falls slowly. He's already out like a light. I snuggle up against him. Oh, how did I even sleep without this?
