Underwater (Finnick Odair fanfiction)

"Can I tell you something?" I asked staring at the night sky where more and more stars started to appear with time. It was all so calm, mostly because exceptionally we weren't surrounded by cameras. Right now there was just the two of us.

"Of course." He replied glancing at me just for a few seconds, letting go of a smirk but it wasn't like the ones he showed for the cameramen to record. It was bitter.

"I've always hoped that volunteering for the games will make my life better. It gave me a reason to live but... Right now that I'm about to enter the Arena I feel like I'm drowning. Like... I'm underwater and unable to get on the top." The words started to ensue out of me and the torturing, hard weight on my chest became a little bit more endurable.

"Aren't we all? Every Career hopes that the Games will change them, and their life in a good way but the truth is... It just takes away from us. But I hope it won't take you away from me." He replied as he scrambled on his feet looking down at me with the exact same crabby smile.
