Always

Chapter 9: Finnick

It's been a week since me and Peeta have kissed. Since his warm lips have been on mine.

I need him.

But I also need Finnick.

I throw my head back on my pillow and scream. Why did he ever leave?

"Kat! Are you okay?" Finnick burst the door open, panting like a dog.

"Yes." I giggle.

He walks towards me and kisses me. "I love you." He whispers.

I can't say it back. It won't come out. Those three words won't come out.

His eyebrows knit together and he backs away. "I love you?" He says again, in a question.

I know if I saw it I'll regret it. So I shake my head and run past him.

"Why did you have to leave!" I scream at the sky.

I shake my head and walk to the only place I know. The bakery.

I know who's there, I haven't talked to him since our kiss we shared.

Walking through the doors, he turns toward me and his eyes sparkle with something that I can't put my finger on.

"Katniss." He says my name more as a relief than a welcoming matter.

I feel tears threaten to spill from my eyes. No. Your strong Katniss. Breath.

I breath in. Then out. "Katniss? Are you okay?" Peeta walks toward me. I scoot back. "I'm fine."

No Peeta im not fine. I'm in love with two people and I can't even say 'I love you' to my own boyfriend. No I'm not okay.

But I keep my mouth shut.

"Kat!" I turn to see Finnick. I throw my hands on they air. "What Finnick?" I snap.

He's taken aback a bit but recovers. "Katniss, why are you here?" He looks and sees Peeta.

"Finnick. I have something to tell you." I turn towards him.

This isn't going to end well.
