Brute (Finnick X oc)

* 29 *

I didn't care.

Their hand gripped my ponytail and yanked me up.

Mavericks face stares down at me.

•

It was Lilac that yanked me up.

"You asked for help from Gale to help with Finnick, but you really needed the help."

•

"Gale!" I yell as much as I don't want his help, I know he can hold Finnick better.

"Help!" He nodded and put Finnick's arm over his shoulder I still held onto his waist gripping as hard as I could.

•

"Your brain just didn't want to give up." "But people talked to him." "Did they Cypress?"

•

"Let me go! Please." Finnick said. I turned to see the floor coming up.

"Let me die!" Tears made my vision start to blur. "No!"

Finnick's head bobbed up and down. "Finn! Finnick!" "Cypress he's losing consciousness." Gale said.

•

"Let me go! Please." I turned to see the floor coming up.

"Let me die!" Tears made my vision start to blur. "No!"

My head bobbed up and down. "Finn! Finnick!" I mumbled under my breath. "Cypress is losing consciousness." Gale said.

•

"I can't! I can't go on!" He started to slow down.  I looked at him, he looked so broken. So tired. "Please?" I asked. "Im so sorry Angel all I want to do is go on."

"Then go!" Gale yelled catching our attention. "All you want is to go on, then do it!" Finnick took a deep breath. "Okay."

•

"I can't! I can't go on!" I started to slow down. I looked so broken. So tired. "Please?" I asked. "Im so sorry Angel all I want to do is go on."

"Then go!" Gale yelled catching my attention.

•

Gale was talking to Cressida for a place to go.

•

"I know where we are! I know a place. Up those stairs."

"Then go!" Gale yelled catching my attention.

•

"Only you saw him Cypress."

•

"CYPRESS!" My thoughts were cut short and time went fast again. I turned to see Katniss holding onto Finnick. His eyes were closing.

•

"CYPRESS!" My thoughts were cut short and time went fast again. I turned to see Katniss holding onto me. My eyes were closing.

•

I looked at her. "I have to help Finnick." I pushed all my emotions to the side.

I could see Finnick and Lilac give each other knowing looks.

•

I looked at her. "I have to help Finnick." I pushed all my emotions to the side.

Lilac looked towards the wall where I sat Gale and Katniss helped with my wounds.

•

"Ahh memories, they are a funny thing right? The mind is a crazy place."

•

Even Maverick who's dead knew.

Johanna grabbed my hand.

"Everyone knew what your mind was doing, so they all decided to play along. I was told not to say anything but. It wasn't getting healthy anymore. And knowing he was slowly fading away cause he was 'asleep' when he was truly gone how would you feel?"

I grabbed the clock necklace and moved it along the chain.

I waited for Finnick's hand to grab mine and pull it away.

I waited to hear him say Angel In my ear.

I waited.

And waited.

Johanna soon left me.

So I could have time to think.

I still waited for him to show.

I will always wait for him.
