I rush off the stage, standing behind the curtain carefully. Peeta's performing his solo song before I go back out there with him. Someone taps me gently on the shoulder and I whip around. My girls are right here in front of me. They all share a goofy smile written across their face. I gasp, bringing them all into a big group hug. We walk to the side, a little bit away from the curtain.

"What are you guys doing here?" I questioned, glancing at them all.

"We flew in to come to the ball of course," Clove answered. She was wearing a golden dress that flowed down to her feet. It was a strapless, sweetheart neckline and her long black hair was curled.

"I've never been to a ball before! I feel like a princess, hopefully I find my prince charming!" Annie exclaims, squeezing my hands gently. She's wearing a white dress ending at her feet with a strapless, sweetheart neckline. Her long red hair is also curled.

"We're here to sing with you," Johanna pipes in. She's wearing a halter black dress that floats to the floor. It has hidden sparkles in it and a plunging neckline. Her short, dyed blonde hair is curled to her shoulders. They all look absolutely gorgeous.

"Which song?" I asked, worry starting to flow in me.

"One of your favorites, Love Me Like You," Johanna stated, snatching a glass of wine from a waiter. I laugh slightly, reviewing the dance and lyrics in my head.

"I love that one," I mumble just as the music for Peeta comes on. I've been dying to watch him. "I'll see you guys soon! I'm going to watch Peeta and I guess his band."

"Actually we'll see you up on stage," Clove states before I rush behind the curtain. I never really had the chance to see his band. I've heard they're amazing but I just couldn't take watching them. Listening to them because what if Peeta sings about me? He has his guitar out, sitting on his stool.

"I woke up in Nashville. But it still felt like a dream. Like the one I've been chasing. Since the day I first played my dad's six string. I loaded up the hand-me-down car. Went for broke, broke your heart. Didn't wanna but, girl, I thought I had to. But dreaming's just sleeping here without you." Who is he singing about?

"So, hello. I'm really glad you picked up your phone. I had to tell you, baby. I was so wrong for thinking you. Were something I could ever do without. Thought everything I wanted was in this town. But you were all that I needed all along. It took me long enough. But I woke up. I woke up in Nashville. Cause those Broadway lights don't shine. The way that your eyes did. When they were staring back. Right back in mine.

Been trying to live. With only half of my heart. Just sleep walking in the Tennessee dark. If I can't make every memory with you. Then dreaming's just sleeping here without you. So, hello. I'm really glad you picked up your phone. I had to tell you, baby
I was so wrong for thinking you
Were something I could ever do without. Thought everything I wanted was in this town. But you were all that I needed all along. It took me long enough. But I woke up."

"In a cold sweat. And catching my breath. Dropping my pride. And dropping you a line. I don't know where you are. I don't know who you're with. I don't know what to say. But I'm saying it. Hello. I'm glad you picked up your phone. I had to tell you, baby. I was so wrong for thinking you Were something I could ever do without. Thought everything I wanted was in this town. But you were all that I needed all along. It took me long enough. But I woke up. I woke up in Nashville. Just thinking of you still."
