Don't Forget
This is a sad fic. Forewarning. It's kind of a songfic too. In CELEBRATION of this being my 20th fanfic, I am writing a Clato, MY OTP!
I don't own the song "Don't forget" by Demi Lovato
"Clove, I can't do this anymore" he said, standing in the rain. He ran his hand through his blonde hair.
"You can't do what?" she asked, looking up at him
"I can't do this Clove. I think...maybe this isn't what is meant to be"
Clove stared at him in utter shock, and confusion.
"I think we need to break up"
The only tiny grasp of whisper that Clove could manage was "Why?"
"I think we need time from each other. Clove, I'm only doing this because...maybe you're not the one for me"
"But Cato...I love you" she said. The utter whisper had taken Cato by surprise. Maybe if she had the guts to say it before, this wouldn't be happening
"I'm sorry Clove...I don't think I can say the same. Maybe one day. Clove, we don't know if we even had a future. Heck, if we ever had anything. I'm sorry Clove, but I think we need to forget." He says and turns on his heel, and runs, mud sloshing from hits combat boots. But tears was all Clove knew as she sank to her knees and sobbed, that he forgot, everything they ever had
Clove kneeled there in the rain, tears dampening her face even more. The last memories of the past moments will forever stay in her mind, and the rose Cato had dropped was in her scarred hands, the last token of love from her...ex
Cato had broken up with her. Why? She wasn't sure. He had explained they needed time from each other, but Clove knew there was something deeper. Had she done something wrong? Had she messed up? Or was it the fact their song was never valid.
Did you forget that I was even alive? Did you forget everything we ever had? Did you forget, did you forget about me?
Did he want to forget, or was it something she could never control? She remembered his words:
"I think we need to forget"
But she didn't want to forget! She loves him! And she will never stop. But was it too late? Had he slipped from her grasp?
"But somewhere we went wrong. We were once so strong our love is like a song, you can't forget it"
She never will forget him. Their love is a melody that has stopped. For good? Or only temporarily? She remembered the way his blue eyes stared into her own, telling her it never was meant to be. She knew it was. But can he believe it? They were so strong, but now he won't sing along
And at last all the pictures have been burned. And all the past is just a lesson that we've learned I won't forget, please don't forget us
Cato had been her everything. And now he's slipped away into darkness's grasp. Will she ever see him smile at her? Or feel his calloused hand slipping into hers? She never knew. She'll never forget, and she won't forget, until he believes she's his. And she knows in his heart, he will never forget. About her. Because she loved him. More than her district or family. But that hadn't mattered to him. He didn't care. Had he truly loved her? Or was it all just...a game?
