More days pass. I don't watch Finnicks games. I'm too scared to. What if he dies. I don't ever want to have to watch that happen. Every night when the anthem plays I watch. Just to make sure his face isn't in the sky.

When I sit alone in my room I realized how much I love Finnick Odair. A lot. I also realized that if he wins the games he will come back different. He will have trauma he will need help. I have to be there.

It came down to two tributes. Finnick and Coral. Just as I suspected Coral had turned on her ally's. Which luckily was not Finnick. I wasn't watching. Instead my dad watched for me.

I was laying in bed napping when he burst in. "District 4 WON!!!" But inside me my stomach hurt. It could be either tribute. "Dad which one." He looked confused but then he answered "the boy" he said. I jumped out of bed in happiness. I was going to see my best friend again.

A/N sorry it's so short. It's a filler chapter
