The 71st Hunger Games - A Love Story COMPLETED

Chapter 19

[edited]  

The elevator doors opened and I went to Katniss' room. Actually, I just assumed it was, but I was correct. Effie always took the bright pink, fancy bedroom, and it was between two plain bedrooms. Haymitch' s bedroom I didn't see, but its fine. 

I pushed open the door, to see her playing with the remote for the wall. 

"Hey, Katniss." 

She jumped. 

"Aven! You made it!" 

I hugged her, I hadn't seen her in an entire day! 

"You're not really pregnant are you?" I didn't think she was, but I had to make sure. 

"Nah, just another lie to the Capitol. Blame Peeta, the oh so wise one." 

"So, you and Peeta aren't in love?" Again, didn't think so. 

"No. Are you and Johanna?" 

"I literally took that train for her." 

"Oh, yeah." She looked at me. 

Then she looked at the ground. I hugged her. 

"You'll make it through the Hunger Games." I was hoping she would so badly. Not get killed before we could rescue her. 

I gave her one last hug, checked the door, then ran and pushed the button. I went in, pushed floor 7, and stared out the glass walls of the elevator. 

As soon as I came out, Han was waiting to greet me. 

"Ven! Do you know who I got a phone call from?" 

"No, who?" 

"District 13's president! She wants to save us all of us tributes and we will be alive!" 

"You won't die!" I hugged her so tight, I thought I almost heard a crack. It was the dream come true. 

She swung me around. I kissed her. 

"We can live together forever and even get married!" 

"Is that a proposal?" 

I kissed her. 

"I love you."

"I love you more."

I cried happy tears.

I was so worried about her. Mainly because all the phones are tapped, and she had to make it until the time they could rescue her and Katniss and their allies.

The Hunger Games seemed less scary, though.

She explained the phone call and the code. I nodded. The Hunger Games were two days away. It was coming close.

I would miss her for around two weeks, then paradise. Or not, if we went back to District 13. And how would I get there if the drone wasn't taking me with Han?

I spent all the time I could around her.

Katniss met me in the closet sometimes. Unfortunately, she only liked guys. (I put too many coming out of the closet jokes here, but who cares) She wasn't awkward about me living in a literal closet. I'm even weird about that.

Han listens and tries to always be there for me, she spends her time with me, or events like the training center, her ratings (9), and being perfected.

I just had two days with her. Then I would see her be surviving in a wilderness, not being able to help. I didn't have money, unless I sold some stuff around here. I just pictured myself going around saying, "Actual soap that Finnick Odair touched! Any buyers?" or, "Katniss's shoes from the interviews!" Some people are actually crazy around here, so maybe? Well, I will try and help anyway.

Fun.
