Lay It All On Me, Katniss

(If you'd like to, listen to Lay It all On Me by Rudimental ft Ed Sheeran during this oneshot, the place where to start the music is in bold)

I stand behind the curtain, our dance soon to begin. Our final dance on America's Got Talent about to be shown. The final.

"They've stunned us with performances to Lullabies, Castle, Kingdom in The Sky and Moondust. Let's see how Katniss and Peeta progressed this week in the lead up to their final debut." The audience soars with applause and our introduction begins.

"This week, we've decided to stick with lyrical dance." I say, during our interview session. Katniss didn't say much. "... The song we've chosen is Lay It All On Me by Rudimental feat Ed Sheeran. We chose this song to tell a story, a personal story. Our story, or should I say mainly Katniss'." We both laugh.

"I have the main role and Peeta has a supporting in this story because its set in a dark part of my past and we're showing my journey with Peeta during this time. It was a very emotional week for me." Katniss says.

"With this story behind it, this dance will either be our losing send off or our winning send off. Either way, we're extremely amazed that we came this far."

I gesture to Katniss and suggest taking our positions, being on opposite sides of the stage. She nods and we do. She's wearing a black shirt, off the shoulder sleeves, and black leggings to her feet. Studded with dark blue sequins. Whereas I'm wearing a white fitted shirt with dark grey leggings myself. Wearing my leotard underneath makes it less uncomfortable.

"This dance is dedicated to Katniss' family. However more so on her father and herself." I say.

"Love you Papa." Katniss whispers then hugs me, tearing up. It fades and the audience applauds. Here we go.

(start song now if you'd like to listen to it along with it)

The music starts and I stand in my spot. Rain being projected as a rectangle on Katniss' side. Whereas mine doesn't have any effects.

She's standing, facing away from me and towards the curtains. Where as I am facing her.

"All alone as you look through the door.." She looks up and around to her side, rubbing her arms. I cautiously approach her area and step in.

"If it hurts and you cant take no more...." She drops to her knees and I run over to her, kneeling behind her. I'm looking at her but her eyes don't meet mine.

"No, you don't have to keep it under lock and key..." I try to open up her cage but she forces it shut again and I lower my arms to the floor.

"And if you cant escape all your uncertainties." She shakes her head, grasping her hair.

"Baby, I can show you how." My fingers run under her jaw and she looks at me as we both stand.

"Let my love in..." I walk backwards and she twirls four times. She leans back and my fingers just touch her, for support.

"If you're hurting.." She buckles over and squats. "Lay it all on me." I help her up but she objects at moves away from me.

"Yeah, you can lay it all.." We both walk to the edge of her confinement and I step back into my area. Katniss stays on hers. She looks around and is hesitant but objects to the idea and walks back before running back to the other side of the stage.

She's scared as she looks around, not sure where to go.

"...Just remember me." She looks around to see me and I walk back to her. We continue to look at each other. Katniss with a small amount of hope of finding her way.
