Cold
Chapter 2
Do it Katniss, you'll be with Peeta, do it.
Im too busy looking at the bottom to hear footsteps.
Strong arms wrap around me.
"Sh, it's ok" A voice comforts me.
I put my hands down, but don't open my eyes.
Pretty soon I hear the voice start to sing softly.
"Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me."
I slowly open my eyes. I notice Cato's cerulean eyes staring down at me. I begin to cry silently.
He hugs me tighter.
"It's ok, your ok" he says.
After a while I hear my name being called.
"Katniss! Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I just- I'm so stupid! God!" I hear Johanna scolds herself.
I shakily get up and hug her. She instantly hugs back.
If anyone saw us they would think that we're sisters. In a way we are.
"I'm so sorry, I promise I won't do it again, I'm so sorry" she cries.
"It's ok Jo, its ok"I whisper.
She nods.
"Your not hurt are you?" Madge asks worriedly. I shake my head no.
Just broken.
"Are you ok?" A guy I remember as Marvel asks. Worry on his green eyes.
I nod. Stop lying Katniss, your not ok.
Someone hugs me. Clove.
"Katniss! Don't do that! You scared me to death!" She cries.
They explain to me that after I ran out they all went chasing after me but I was too fast for them. They searched and searched. Until Clove saw me standing on top of the building. They came sprinting over here.
Sadly they can in time. A voice in the back of my head says.
"Katniss?" Cato snaps me out of my trance.
"Huh?" I say.
"Clove asked if you wanted some water" He says.
I nod at Clove. As she hands me my water she has worry in her eyes, but I notice something else there too. Happiness? Excitement?
"Talk to you later" she whispers so only I can hear.
"I think it's time we get going" Madge says.
Annie nods in agreement.
I try to get up only to sit back down again.
Finnick notices this.
"You ok?" He asks.
"I can't get up" I say.
"Here let me help" he says picking me up bridal style.
"Thanks" I say.
I notice Cato watching us like a hawk. I see jealousy in his eyes. Wait, jealousy?
I see a flash somewhere.
"What was that?" I ask Finnick.
"Crap, it's the paps" Finnick says ducking his face.
The rest of the guys do the same.
"How famous are you?" I ask him.
"Really famous, it's a miracle they didn't find us earlier" he says.
"Oh" I all I say.
"Yeah, and since we performed, I guessing they know we're here by now" he says.
"I think I can walk now" I say.
"Are you sure?" He asks.
"Yeah" I say.
He gently puts me on my feet and lets me walk but still has his arm around my waits and one of his hands on my shoulder.
"Thanks" I say once were at the car.
He nods.
"See you later Katniss" he says patting my cheek.
Something tells me I can trust Finnick.
"Oh my god! You guys looked like a couple!" Madge squeals.
"Really?" I ask.
They nod enthusiastically. Annie looks down sadly.
"Nah, he's Annie's" I say looking at her. She snaps her hair up.
"Really?" She asks.
"Didn't you see the stars in his eyes?" I ask her.
She beams.
"Let it out girl" Madge giggles.
Annie squeals and screams and jumps up and down.
I just laugh.
"Ok, ok, you've officially broke my ear drums" Jo says.
I laugh.
"Brainless? Cato asked about you" Jo says.
"What? Why?" I ask turning red.
She smirks.
"He wanted to know everything about you" she says.
I turn tomato red.
"Like when your birthday is, how old you are, when your on your rag-"
"Johanna Mason!" I squeak loudly,
She laughs so hard she has tears I her eyes and her tummy hurts.
All of the girls have to fan her so she can calm down.
She still laughs.
"Jo calm down" I say.
"Ok, ok" she breathes.
"There?" I ask.
"Mhm" she says smiling.
"Good" I say.
For some reason it's funny to her when I squeak.
'It just is' she told me when I asked her.
"But seriously, he totally digs you" Clove says.
I think back to when he sang to me. It was amazing. Like an angel.
Maybe Cato is Fallen Angel. An amazing Fallen Angel who's here to show me the way of life.
