The House - An Everlark Fanfiction {Completed}

Chapter Nineteen - Longing

Katniss POV

The next few days I try to keep a smile on my face but it's just no use. I miss him. I miss Peeta. I miss my Peeta.

The house isn't the same without him, after he left I sat down with Finnick for about 20 minutes and had a long talk. He told me that Peeta always talked about me with him and said he thinks the world of me. He also reminds me that I'll see him in just a few days and at that point I thought those days were going to feel like years, and they did but as its now that day I feel an excited feeling rise in my stomach.

I'll see him soon, I'll see my family soon as well. In all the excitement in wanting to see Peeta I forgot that I will also be seeing my family who I've missed a lot.

For the most of today though we've been giving a task to do, our last task. It's basically a task to show of out talents, so for me, I'll be singing. Finnick tells me he's a comedian which in all honesty fits him quite well. I'm being told that Annie is a fashion designer and that she'll be giving us a sneak peek at her new clothing line. Johanna I've been told is a dancer, I always imagined dancers to be the complete opposite at Johanna but apparently she's amazing at it. I'm not sure what Cato's doing, something tells me he's an actor or something along those lines.

I've gotten dressed, done my hair and makeup and now we're all sitting in the living-room around a little stage that's been set up.

"This is Big Brother can Katniss now go on the stage and perform"

I've decided to cover Adele's song 'Water under the bridge'. I could've sung one of my own songs but I like to change it up a little. I decided to give the public something they've not seen me sing before.

I go up on the stage and get claps from the other four in the house. I take the mic off the stand and bring it about an inch from my lips as I wait for the music to start.

When it does I slowly tap my foot to the beat before I start singing.

f you're not the one for me
Then how come I can bring you to your knees
If you're not the one for me
Why do I hate the idea of being free?
And if I'm not the one for you
You've gotta stop holding me the way you do
Oh honey if I'm not the one for you
Why have we been through what we have been through

It's so cold out here in your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper
But not if you are so reckless

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge

I walk of the stage and signal for everyone to put their hands up as I walk back and forth in front of them.

What are you waiting for?
You never seem to make it through the door
And who are you hiding from?
It ain't no life to live like you're on the run
Have I ever asked for much?
The only thing that I want is your love

I go back on the stage and place my hand on my chest as I start singing with more power.

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge

It's so cold in your wilderness
I want you to be my keeper
But not if you are so reckless

If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
Don't pretend that you don't want me
Our love ain't water under the bridge

Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge
Say that our love ain't water under the bridge

When I've finished everyone stands up and cheers for me.

Everyone else goes as well after me and they're all amazing. I knew they were famous for doing something right on television but god they're truly great.

At the end of everything we all stand up and attack each other in a big group hug.

I didn't think that I would miss everyone, I thought I would be happy to leave this house but if I'm being true with myself I can actually admit that I'll miss this place and especially the people a lot. Even Johanna who I've clashed with on more than one occasion.

I just wish Peeta were here with us, enjoying this moment but my heart flutters when I realise that this time tomorrow I'll be laying naked in a hotel room with him.

We all pull out of the hug and Big Brother tells us it's time to start getting ready for the live final where they're finally crowing the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2016 and I've never been so determined to win.
