The next couple of training days become a bit of a blur, I did gain the trust of Peeta though.

The thought makes me giggle as I mess with my token. I haven't been able to see Finnick though. Snow decided while throwing him in the arena to give him 'appointments' I still don't get why Finnick doesn't just say no. But he doesn't. He wakes up and goes, then passes out once he gets back. There are also meetings held apparently, I've seen him leave with Haymitch a lot. As well as Johanna.

I'm curious, part of me wants to follow but I can trust them. They wouldn't plot against me. Especially not Finnick, I love him. He loves me.

I've snuck in his room a few times in the past couple days just to watch him sleep, make sure he's okay. He'll give me quick kisses goodbye as he leaves and hugs as he comes back just to pass out seconds later. I worry for him, I haven't even truly spoken to him in a couple days and I already miss our chats. But he's busy and I should understand that. I can't be selfish.

I sigh deeply as I look out at the capital buildings, it's scoring day, only two more days left until we get sent in the arena. The arena where my best friend, lover might die, again. I can never be happy can I. As long as snows alive. As long as the Games continue. Love is just a losing game.
