Annie POV

I don't know how long it takes us to stop crying, but that doesn't matter. For the first time since I found out the news of Finnicks death, I feel that I can trust someone again, that someone understands how I feel. I've realised that Katniss and Peeta do understand the pain inside of me because they're still mourning too; we can all help each other get through this.

Katniss immediately gets on the phone to ring her old doctor back in the Capitol, if we tell him about the book idea he'll hopefully send the sheets of paper we need to 12. It turns out that her doctor loves the idea and he promises to send the paper on the next train here.

Suddenly, the baby kicks but this time, sending shooting pains across my stomach; I cry out in pain and grasp my stomach, causing Peeta and Katniss to look at me, worriedly.
'Annie, are you okay?' Katniss gasps, running over to me and putting an arm around my shoulder.
'Its just my stomach, it- OW!' The baby kicks again, even harder and the pain courses through me, why is this hurting so much? Surely the baby shouldn't be hurting me like this...

'I think some stomach medicine could help, but I don't think I have any...' Katniss says, still gripping on to me.
'Haymitch has some, he always keeps a supply in case he needs to get over a really bad hangover.' Peeta explains, 'Do you want us to walk you over?' he offers.
'Its okay, I can walk over myself, it's not far' and to be honest, I didn't want to get in either of their ways, maybe some alone time will help them figure out that they both love each other, it's so obvious to everyone else anyway!

I step outside into the bitter wind; pulling my coat up over my checks, I jog over to Haymitches house. As soon as I open the door, I'm hit with a strong waft of alcohol however I, unlike most others, don't judge Haymitch and his alcohol addiction.

It's just what he turned too to get over the nightmares and the terror the arena causes. Sure, his addiction has gone a bit far but you can't explain what the Games does to you unless you've survived one; they can drive you crazy, I should know.

Haymitch is actually sober and sitting at the kitchen table, taking stomach tablets himself.
'Alright Annie?' His voice is gruff but kind of friendly too.
'Yeah, the baby's kicking really hard though, can I take a tablet or two? Katniss or Peeta didn't have any.' In response, Haymitch slid the tablet box across the table to me; whilst I opened it he started a conversation.

'So, how are the idiots who don't realise that they both love the other?' Haymitch looked at me with a smirk whilst he leant right back in his chair.
'Still not realising!' I pause while I swallow two tablets, 'They both need each other so much, and they shouldn't, they can't I should say, not admit their love! It can be taken away at any moment and-' I have to stop, I just can't continue anymore, Finnicks image overtakes my brain.

'I know how you feel Sweetheart...' Haymitch utterly surprised me with his comment, I look up at him, shocked to say the least.
'Surprising, huh? Have you ever watched my Games Annie?' He asks, looking down at the table.
I nod, I had and I think I can guess what he's going to say. 'Mayslilee?' I ask, almost whispering for some reason.

I see something I've never seen before: tears spring to Haymitches eyes, but only for a second, they disappear almost immediately.

'You're right Annie, they shouldn't just wait around, I'm going to talk to Katniss about this, as soon as possible!' Haymitch has such determination in his voice, it scares me.

But he's right. Katniss and Peeta need to realise how much in love they are, how much they rely on each other.

And maybe then they can get their happy ending, at last. I didn't get mine but someone deserves to have one.
