Vivian's heart started beating faster when Finnick started walking toward her. She was terrified about the fact that they really had misunderstood each other. She was afraid of being unprepared to meet him and that she wouldn't be able to handle the truth.
But no matter how afraid she was, Vivian stayed where she was and watched Finnick approach her rapidly.
"I have something to ask-" she started in a rare, gentle voice.
She hadn't even finished her sentence when she felt a tight grip around her wrist that pulled her a couple of steps away.
Vivian hadn't realized what was going on, but
Fabian automatically reached out and grabbed her other wrist as if he was trying to 'save' her from Finnick.
Vivian felt like a paper doll being tugged from both sides, about to rip in half.
"Let go of her!" Finnick warned in a cold voice that contrasted against the fiery rage in his eyes. Is Fabian trying to win her back or something after so long? As if! Is Vivian really okay with dating any men as long as they aren't me?
"You're the one who should let her go!" Fabian said just as firmly. He was starting to regret speaking up for Finnick just now. Why'd I bothered to help at all when he's treating Vivian this violently?
The two men stayed put, neither willing to let go. It was as if they forgot they were holding onto Vivian.
"Let go of me, both of you!" Vivian yelled. Her wrists were starting to become numb from their strong grasp. "Let go! It hurts!”
Fabian quickly let go of Vivian's wrist. Finnick, on the other hand, only relaxed his grip slightly.
