Finnick immediately ran after her and grabbed her arm before she could leave the apartment. 

"Lea come on, you know I will always be on your side. The reason, I want to take the risks is to be with you so that we can be happy," Finnick sighed. 

"I am sorry, I overreacted but I am just scared Finnick. I'd rather play it safe than risk it all," Lea cried out

"I know, it all seems scary right now but sometimes we have to take risks for a greater outcome and I promise you, the risk will be worth it in the end," Finnick assured her as he spread his arms for Lea to hug him and she did, she hugged him and In that one hug, all their worries seemed to disappear for just a moment. 

"Look, I am with you whatever you decide. I will always be by your side," Finnick said. 

"You promise that everything will be alright in the end?" Lea asked him

"I promise, remember it's you and me against the world," Finnick said

"Always?" Lea asked. 

"Always," Finnick said while rubbing her tears from her cheeks with his thumb. 

"Alright, I will go back upstairs and tell them that I am in," Lea said

"I'm very glad you changed your mind but before you go up you should probably know something," Finnick said

"What?" Lea asked confused. 

"Right after you left, Plutarch got angry at Haymitch because he didn't want to include you at first but Haymitch insisted and when you reacted like that, he was afraid you would go tell Snow so he might have slipped out that Snow is your grandfather," Finnick said nervously hoping that this wouldn't change her mind back. 

"So everybody knows?" Lea asked. 

"I'm afraid so," Finnick sighed. 

"I am going to kill, Plutarch," Lea yelled as she started storming to the roof. 

"Hold on, wait for me," Finnick screamed as he ran behind her. 

****************************

"Ah, Lea you're back. That's great, see Plutarch I told you, I knew she would be," Haymitch proudly said as Lea stormed onto the roof. Everybody just started staring at her, not knowing what to say. Plutarch just looked down, realizing he shouldn't have said what he did. 

Lea didn't even look at him, she just turned to everybody who was sitting on the roof. 

"I realize that you might be shaken by what you heard from Plutarch earlier but I want all of you to know that I am nothing like him, and that I only found out that he was my Grandfather after I came out of my own Games and I want absolutely nothing to do with him. During the time that I knew, I just tried to avoid him as much as I could and complied with his requests only to avoid my grandmother from getting killed. I really hope this doesn't make u look at me differently than you did before cause know that I am still the same person I was before and I would like to be part of the plan, If you guys will still have me," Lea said with a tear flowing out of her eye. 

Beete suddenly stood up

"I respect that you told us all and I will never look at you differently just because you are related to him. Over the years that I have known you, I have seen how an amazing person you are. You are one of the kindest people I have ever met and we shouldn't let our family define who we are," Beetee said. After that Chaff stood up as well, and so did Johanna, and then everybody followed. 

"I would never judge you for who your family is, hell after Plutarch exposed you like that. I didn't even want to be part of the plan anymore," Chaff said
