Always

5. Finnick.

Katniss POV. 

I'm sitting on the couch in my living room starring off into oblivion. My mind is blank at the moment. Not a single thought is crossing my mind. My body is numb. My mind is blank and my heart. Well, its broken for sure. 

All I know about Peeta is that he is broken, he's lifeless, he's filled with pain, and I can't even be there to help him or even make him feel better. I feel useless. I should be there helping him, fixing him. It's my fault why he is like this. 

I still kind of blame haymitch because we made a deal to save Peeta, not me. He went against me and saved me because I was the cure to the rebellion. I'm the god damn Mockingjay. 

I hear a knock at my front door. I don't even turn my head to see who it is. I just sit there still staring. I hear footsteps and i see a figure walk past me. I watch the figures back and when they turn out its no other than Finnick Odair. 

I gave a small smile. Finnick was and is still one of my best friends. He looks at me and smiles. 

"Oh, why hello to you to kat."

I give off a small smile and look at him. "Hello Finnick."

He smiles and laughs. "What are you doing miss Katniss.?"

"Just staring off into oblivion. why? did you come here to learn all my secretes?" I said with a giggle. 

Finnick laughs. "No dear, I already know most of them, especially. The biggest one of them all." he points at me and gives me that big smirk he always does. 

I furrow my eyebrows and raise them in confusion. 

"You're in love with Peeta. Real, your broken. Real."

I nod. "Yes Finnick, I'm in love with Peeta Mellark."

He smiles and takes his phone out and presses a button. My voice and the words I just said repeated out loud from his phone. I turn my head and blush. 

"You hear that kat? Remind yourself why you are here, remind yourself that you have something to keep you going!" Finnick says proudly. 

I nod and pat the spot next to me. Finnick walks over towards me and sits on the couch. I put my arms around him and hug him. Finnick always know how to cheer me up without evening trying. 

I pull back from the hug and look straight at him with all seriousness in my tone. 

"Have you talked or seen him?"

He shakes his head no. 

"No, only Effie and haymitch are allowed to see him right now because of his medication...But I did learn a few things."

I tilt my head and look at finick waiting for him to speak again. 

"He is not with anyone else, real. Hés getting better, Real. He misses you, real. Hés going to be okay, real. Hès coming home in two days. real. "

My eyes grew wide. 

"Two days?!" I say shocked. 

Finnick nodded and smiled. I smiled. I felt my heart beating. I felt my body heating up with warmth. I feel my whole mind easing up and the emotions running through again, this time with happiness and no negative thoughts or feelings. I jump onto Finnick and hug him. I start to cry tears of joy. 

"Oh my gosh Finnick, that's the best news I've hear all week."

Finnick smiles. I look at Finnick and sigh. 

"How are you and Annie?"

Finnick looks at me and smiles. 

"Really good. She is pregnant, 6 months to be exact. She wanted to come see you, but she had things to do at home, but she promises to come over tomorrow or even later tonight" Finn says happily. 

I smile and nod. Annie is my best friend. We really grew close during the rebellion. She was always there when I needed her the most. she never gave up on me. She was always there when I had a nightmare, when I was screaming out for Peeta. She is truly one of a kind. 

------

Finnick and I ended up talking for hours. It felt nice to have company and just laugh and smile again. After hearing about Peeta returning home in two days my mind has been open, my heart is forming, and my body is overly excited. I can't wait. 

Hours go by and Finnick stands up. I look at him confused.

"I have a present for you, from me and Annie."

I smile. I see Finnick walk to the shelf by the front door and grab a package. I furrow my eyebrows and watch him walk over to me with a small smile. 

He hands me the package. I give a small smile and unwrap the package. 

I open it and saw a black book, name Everlark. I smiled and opened up the books. It was a photo album with multiple pictures of Peeta and I over the past year a half.
