Love By The Tide

Chapter 7: getting ready

Annie pov

I wake up and I see Finnick. He is just staring at me smiling.

"Are you ok? Your just staring at me."

"Yeah I'm ok, just looking down at the girl I love most in the world and yes, I did move you after you fell asleep on my bed from talking and thanks for saying yes to be my girlfriend. I already got your outfit for trianing, and remember to try for the careers and I had Mags tell Marlin that he's gotta do the same. Oh, I almost forgot that I got you breakfast."

He gives me a stack of five pancakes, bacon, and orange juce. "Thank you. And thank you for bringing me here, how long have you been standing there with that silly grin on your face?" I asked.

"Since I braught you here wich was at three in the morning, so for two hours then it took me half an hour to do all of this so then I came back then you were sleeping for ten more minutes and now here I am, looking at the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

"Wow and I don't think I am that pretty, but thanks."

"You are gorgeous. Annie, theres other girls, and then theres you. The difference is that the other girls could never be this beautiful. Even the ladies in the capito- uh oh." He said.

"What about the ladies in the capitol?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me, please!"

"I can't or somthing bad will happen."

"What what is so bad you can't tell me! I can handle it, you said it yourself!" Now I am practically yelling at him to tell me.

"I can't, I told you that I want to but if I do you get somthing bad!"

Now four peacekeepers came in and two took away Finnick while he was thrashing at them but they then nocked him out.

"Finnick!" I scream as the other two shut the door. Their comming towards me and take out their whips. Then they start whipping me as I scream. It was horrible. Was that what he was talking about? Why is this happening, but then I remember last night, when he kissed me it wasn't like he knew what to do, its like he's done this before. Is he dating someone else? He has been known to have a string of lovers from the capitol. Then I realized that he might not have meant anything about me. Then the pain stopped, the peacekeepers left and Finnick came in running to me.

"Annie, I am so sorry. I didn't know," then he sees that they whipped my cheek." Oh my god I am so sorry I, I am so sorry we can't talk about it ever again, it might be worse next time."

"Did you say that to all the other girls you were with? The I love yous and calling me beautiful?"

"Of coarse not your the only one I have ever loved, you know that. Why would you ask that?"

"Becouse you dated almost all the ladies in the capitol we are through until you tell me." I start to cry as I grab the clothes that are on my bed and get ready. Now my day begins.
