Always (An Everlark Story)

Chapter 32

Katniss POV

(1 year later, they are seniors now)

Peeta and I broke up a little while ago. Something changed with him. He stopped answering my phone calls and messages, leaving me so worried. I would go to his house all the time but his father would say he didn't want to see anyone. And eventually when I did see him he said he wanted to make me stop suffering and he broke up with me. He doesn't realize that, that hurt me even more.

I'm taken out of my thoughts by a huge knock on the door.

"Kat let me in!" I hear no one else's but Finnick's voice say from outside my room as he bangs against my door causing the whole world to hear him.

"It's open."

He walks in and takes a seat next to me on the bed. Giving me a warm side hug in the process.

I always loved Finnick, not in the way Annie does, or his mom does, in my own special way. He is just like an older brother to me. He always looks out for me, and has never let me down.

"Kat, you need to get over him!" He tells me sternly looking me right in the eyes

"I can't! You saw how he changed. Finnick there has to be something wrong why would he just suddenly stop talking to us."

"I know I've been talking to him, he won't tell me what's wrong, but we are getting somewhere. We just need patience."

A tear I've been holding in finally slips out of my eye.

"What did I do that's so bad he can't tell me why he so sad and depressed!" I say angrily

"Kat, you know it's not your fault. He even told me that it wasn't. He is just mixed up right now. I will find out what's wrong and I will tell you."

I sigh "Thank you. But I feel like he should do me himself I mean I'm the one that he keeps abandoning."

"You know he's not meaning to-" Finnick starts but I cut him off

"Fin he is talking to everyone else but me. I don't think he understands how much that hurts me, he talks to Delly more than he talks to me." I say as moe tears stream down my face

Finnick sees them and wipes them away.

"Relax. It will all work out in the end." He tells me soothingly but it doesn't help

"But what if it doesn't. What if he never talks to me again. He was the only person I've ever loved! My first kiss! My everything!" I say as sobs wreck my body

Finnick pulls me into a hug and comforts me.

"It's okay Kat. Trust me he will come back. I promise you."

I look up into his eyes.

"You promise?" I ask now wiping all the tears out of my eyes. I hate crying in front of people but especially Finnick I feel so weak.

"I promise." He says "Now you need to relax, Peeta is fine and well just mixed up. I've been talking to him like I said earlier so if anything I find out is really bad ill immediately tell you. But for now he will most likely keep ignoring you so just don't let him bring you down so much."

"He already has." I say looking back up at him again

"Kat, you need to stop thin-" I cut him off with my lips, I don't know why I do it but I just needed to.

My lips stay on his for a moment until he starts to kiss back. I know this is wrong very wrong since I have to get back to Peeta . Never does he once pull away. We are both just sitting on my bed with our lips attracted nobody pulling away. I feel his hands make their way up to my neck as he wraps them around me. I soon put mine up in his hair playing around in it. We continue to kiss until we both need a breath.

"Finnick I'm sorry I did that but I kinda liked it." I say slowly

"I did too." He tells me catching his breath then bringing his lips back up to mine once again.

Kissing me even more passionately than the first one.

"Finnick I think we should stop." I say between kisses

He laughs and smiles at me "Kat, I've always liked you this way."

"I was for sure you liked Annie." I say

"You know Annie is dating Jayden right?" He asks me

Annie is dating Jayden. Why wouldn't she tell me she is dating the schools sweetheart. Not anybody I know hates Jayden I guess they are made for each other.

"She never told me."

"Oh well they have a thing going just like I do for you."

I smile at his kind words. Is this wrong? I find myself loving Finnick even more every minute. Do I want Peeta or Finnick?

"Kat, I knew you don't like me back. I just had to get that off my chest though."

"I never said I didn't." I say smiling

Finnick.
