That night with Cato was the best night I have had in a while. I have never felt so safe at night, with Cato's arms around me I felt like nothing bad could ever happen to me. I didn't want to move from this position, but Cato awoke.
"Good morning beautiful." He said kissing my cheek.
"Good morning." I said rolling over to face him, then give him a kiss. When I leaned in he finished off the distance, and when he kissed me he rolled over so he was hovering over top of me. Our lips stayed connected for a good 10 minutes before we had to breathe. I guess our training made it easier for us the last longer, who would have ever thought that training was good for something other than the games.
"So what are you doing today?" Cato asked me.
"Well, nothing it's Sunday. There is no training today." I said sitting on Cato's lap on my bed.
"Okay then, now the real question is what are we going to do today?" and I laughed.
"Well I need to take a shower." I said hopping off of Cato's bed and walking towards the bathroom. "You want to come?" I said once I got to the bathroom door. He just stayed put though, so I closed the door, started the shower and began undressing. Once I stepped foot in the shower I heard the door close and in stepped Cato with me. "Took you long enough." I say washing my hair. But Cato said nothing, all he did was push me up against the shower wall and kiss me roughly.
Both me and Cato in the shower, made the shower about 40 minutes long. But once we finally got out we went back into my room and got dress and ready to face the day.
"I don't leave this house, I want to stay here and kiss you all day." Cato said holding me close to him, hands around my waist pulling me close to him.
"Sorry but we can't sit around making out all day." I said reaching up and kissing right beside his lips to tease him. "Plus, what is going on between us?" I asked looking up at him. It's true, were me and Cato dating now, or what? I was confussed.
"Well, I guess your going to have to meet me tonight by the lake and find out! 8 o'clock!" and he quickly kissed my lips and was gone. Once he was gone I threw on my sports bra and shorts then headed out the door to go for a jog.
Well jogging all I could think about was Cato. I couldn't believe Cato, one of the meanest people in the district has feelings for me. I mean me, he could have any girl but yet he picked me to spend his time with. Tonight when I meet him by the lake I am going to be the happiest person ever if he asks me to be his girlfriend.
When I was starting my second lap around the district, I heard some guys yelling. So I jogged towards the noise, and what I saw was not a pretty sight. Cato was fighting with some guys, and he was on a rampage. I then started to run towards him, I was going to try and stop him.
"Cato!" I said running up to him. He ignored me and kept hurting the kid. I knew he was a challenge to stop once he got started, so I needed to do all I could. I took a few steps back from Cato and looked around for a weapon, and there is was sitting on the ground feet away from me, a knife. I ran and grabbed it then ran back to Cato.
I had to wait for Cato to leave a gap between him and the boy, but when he did I had him up against a rock wall with the knife to his throat. It was going to take a lot more than this to get him out of his zone.
"Run!" I yelled to the person who he practically destroyed. "Cato! Cato! Calm the Fuck down!" I did not move from my position, with the knife against his throat.
"Clove?" Cato said snapping out of his little killing zone. I then moved the knife from his throat only to get the shock of being thrown to the ground hard by him. I can't believe he tricked me. He remove the knife from my fingers and grabbed my left arm. I started to scream watching the rage in his eyes.
"Cato! Cato! Please come back to me! Please don't do this!" I screamed as he too the knife to my one arm that has been abused. After he finished he moved from me. I got up and ran to the forest and hid behind a tree in panic. I looked down at my arm and it was bad, really bad! I was bleeding a lot.
"Clove?" I heard Cato yell worried. "Clove? Where are you?" I didn't move though, I didn't want to take that chance again, so I stayed put and let him find me. It was until I started sobbing that he realized that I was behind a tree. "Clove! I can't believe I did this to you. You told me something and I completely abused it! I'm so sorry!" He said peeling off his shirt and wrapping it around my arm to stop the bleeding. "Come on I'll take you home." He said picking me up off the ground and carrying me back to my house.
"Thank you." I said as we got inside and he set me down.
"For what?" He asked grabbing a cloth.
"For everything, bringing me home, not killing me." I said as he cleaned my cuts.
"I'm sorry Clove." was all he said in response.
