Sweat runs down my face and my breath deepens, Great. Nightmares are something I could never escape after the games. Its as if they wait for the best moments to catch me and drag me into them turning my worst fears into reality. The thing is, my best dreams and worst nightmares have the same person in them, Finnick.
I run a hand through my hair and let out a sob trying to hold onto the last string of sanity I have left. A knock at my door makes my head turn and my eyes widen, wiping away the tears and opening the door the one person I dont want to see stands there.
"Finnick." I breath out without noticing i was holding my breath,
"Hey.. um are you ok?" He eyes me suspiciously I make myself smile nodding a yes even though he and I both know its a lie. My first instinct is to slam the door, Not to let him see me weak. If im weak im pitied and thats something I to be.
"I-Im good, thanks.." I let out a laugh. A laugh that covers up how hurt I really am, a laugh to stop myself from crying on the spot.
"Liv" Finnick grabs my shoulders lightly tilting my head up and I let out a sob. Within seconds im in Finns arms and the door is shut.
"I just wanna go home." Crying is the only way your eyes speak when your mouth cant even start to explain the things that make you broken.
"Shhh, I know love, I know." This is the weak move. The move that i shouldn't have taken. Finn holds me as if im glass, Waiting to shatter all over the floor.
"Cmon" Finn sets me down on the bed and I try to keep as many tears down that I can.He tucks me in making sure every blanket is in place before heading to the door whispering,
"Goodnight Liv" He turns to go the door and I want to be strong, I wanna show that stupid nightmares cant face me. But its to late,
"Finnick''
"Yeah"
"Stay." He eyes me as if asking for permission then lays down beside me letting my head rest on his chest.
Maybe weak isnt the worst.
....
A hand brushes the hair out of my face and Im awake, But i dont open my eyes. Finnick plays with my hair and I let out a smile, Times like this remind me of home.
"I knew you where awake" I laugh and open my eyes ,meeting his blue, green ones. He runs a hand through my hair and pulls me to him,
"You okay?" I turn my head anywhere but his face not speaking, this is weak. Im weak, I nod.
Everly burst into the room and Finnick jumps up revealing his shirtless core making me blush,
"Time to get uu-" She freezes covering her mouth,
"Well whenever you guys are ready, We will be at the capitol in 20 minutes. And please look some what presentable." She narrows her eyes on me and Finnick laughs following her out but not without sending a smirk my way.
....
People of all races, sizes and colors fill the train station waving and screaming like we are some kind of wrestling show, once again things like this make me sick. We are not toys to be played with we are people.
As always Finn waves and blows kisses making many women in the Crowd let out high pitched screams and squeals. One lady even pretends to catch one of Finns blown kisses and she passes out, He turns to me wide eyed and we laugh.
The capitol is breathtaking even thought ive been here before, The large glass buildings and bright colors are far from what home in 4 is like. Everly tells us our designer for the games name is Seara, A new designer this year, and she wants to meet us right away.
Every so often my eyes wonder to Finnick, does he enjoy this? He seems to be, I mean hes surrounded by people who adore him and would give anything to be with him. He must.
A thin lady with bright blue hair that flows over her shoulders like a river, A golden dress stopping mid thigh and Purple heels approaches us outside of the transition.
"Im Seara and im going to be your stylist, come with me."
