hello again! i finishd this chaper and wnted to post it ASAP! so here you have it. thanks catnissxoforever, i will remove my errors, thanks for telling me! i will start with it on the next chapter, because i read your review just now. so, I will try. well, ladies and gentelmen, i give you Chapter 3!

Cato Masonbrick? He was supposed to be dead! I shoot him myself! the cannon shot! He can't be alive! He… then I remember. a random thing, but surely related to him. The letter. He gave me a letter after I won the games. Well, not him, but his mentor. I can clearly remember what it said...

Katniss,

If you are reading this, it mans you are the victor from the 74th hunger games. And that I am dead. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry. For everything I have done. Being so bloody, so brutal, and so bad. I wanted you to know, that I had a crush on you since I saw you on fire at the chariots. It was love at first sight. I didn't tell you, though. I was planning you to win the games. I am so glad you did. That means I kept my promise. also, i was just acting my bad attitude, to remain well known as the cocky tribute everybody thought I was. but, in reality, I wasn't like that. I am sure that, if we've meet other way than in the games, we could've been good friends, maybe more. but, anyway, i am sure you already love lover Boy, or the tall boy that took your sister away at the reaping. by the way, that was so brave from you. another thing to add to my endless list of reasons to love you. I am sorry I wasn't brave enough to tell you this formally, but if i am dead, I think it would've been creepy to do so.

All my Love,

Cato.

I was tearing up when I read it then. I couldn't believe it, actually, at first i thought it was some sort of strategy to distract me during the games, but I realized it wasn't logic, because they gave it to me after the games. I realize Enobaria is talking to me. "I am sorry, what?" I ask embarrassed.

"I asked if you wanted to see him," she says annoyed.

"Oh, yeah, sure." I mumble. "okay, so" Enobaria says- "go to the eight door on the left and knock the door before going in, okay?" "Okay." I say and go to look for the room. When I find it, I knock on the door, and a doctor comes out to greet me. When he sees me, shock is registered all over his face.

"Katniss Everdeen? What brings you here?" He asks "oh! I... um, I am here to see am, Cato Masonbrick… is he here?" I ask dumbly. "oh yes! he has been asking for you the past few months! I am dr. Kenninsten, Cato's doctor, by the way." He says proudly, "Oh nice to meet you Dr. Kenninsten." I say. "can I see Cato?" I ask again. "Oh right, yes you can come in. he is awake right now. If you excuse me, I will go to talk with Enobaria." He says. leaving.

I take a deep breath and go in. the hospital room is similar to the one I was in when I was at the capitol after my own games; the only difference is that this one has two lounges in it. I come closer and Cato sees me. He is more shocked than the doctor when he saw me. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped to the floor. "K-Katniss! What are you doing here?" He asks "hello to you too, Cato!" I say. "Sorry, hi" he says, blushing.

I laugh and look at him in the eyes. they are filled with...love? I don't know, but it is the same way father saw mother. I blush and look away. "So... How are you doing?" I ask.

"weren't you supposed to be married and living happily with Peeta?" He asks suddenly with a sad voice. "Oh." I say "That Peeta is getting married, it doesn't mean he is marrying me." I say he smiles and relief fills his face.

"So, what's up with your outfit?" He asks laughing. I look down and remember I haven't taken out the bridesmaid dress Delly gave me. "Oh," I say "I weren't getting married, but I was a bridesmaid." He laughs. "I won't bite" he says. "What?" I ask "you can come and seat, I won't hurt you." He says with a grin. I smile and seat on the edge of his bed and start feeling sleepy. Right! I didn't slept last night. Delly was too nervous and didn't let anybody sleep. "You can sleep here if you want…" he says. "really?" I ask. "yeah why not?" He says, "okay…" I say, and lay down beside me and he covers me with the bed's sheets. He puts me in an embrace and I rest my head on his chest, hearing his heartbeat and drift myself to sleep into a dreamless sleep, the first one I've ever had in months.


When I wake up, it is a whole new day. Cato is still beside me, and he is asleep.}

I move, trying not to wake him up, without success. He wakes up, alarmed. "Where are you going?" He asks with a morning voice. he looks so cute when he just woke up... I think. "Oh sorry I woke you up! I was just going to look for Haymitch, who might be looking for me right now. I will come back later, though." I tell him stroking his hair.

"Do you promise?" He asks, looking at me with his bright, warm and loving blue orbs.

"I promise" I say and leave his room. I don't know why I am being so sweet with him. He killed a lot of people. He was also a victim I remind myself.

when he is his normal self, he is like a combination of Gale, Peeta and Finnick; he is protective and wild, like Gale. He is sweet and caring, like Peeta. And also funny and sexy, like Finnick. But he has a part that is only himself. He is free, he has no worries. He is calming and strong. He never gives up. I have known the real Cato for a little time, but he is actually starting to grow on me.

When I get to the corridor that I was when we arrived, I notice Haymitch, Enobaria and Dr. Kenninsten are talking there. "I won't take the boy with me to district two! I refuse to take care of him!" Yells Enobaria. "well, he cant stay in the capitol, either!" Says Dr. Kenninsten.

"cant he take care of himself? Why doesn't he go with his family?! or with some friends?" Asks Haymitch. "Because they all died during the rebellion!" Yells Enobaria.

I realize they are talking about Cato. "He can stay with me." I find myself saying, "hello sweetheart!" Says Haymitch. "He can stay with me." I repeat "good joke sweetheart!" Says Haymitch, laughing. He must see in my face that I am not joking, because when he replies, he is now serious. "are you sure sweetheart? I mean, you just came out from a severe depression state!" Haymitch says. "Yes, but he can help me if I leave again. And, being with him will help me with a lot of things." I say, loosing my patience. "Okay then sweetheart! Enobaria, Doctor what do you think about it?" he asks, turning to look at them. "I'm with the girl." Says Enobaria- "they both can help each other with many things." I am glad she s by my side, but I think might just be because she does not want to take care of Cato, though. "Doctor?" asks Haymitch. "I think it might be a great idea. We should try." He says. "Great!" I exclaim, a little bit too exited.

They all look at me with weird looks. "What?" I ask- "agh!, I will go and get Cato." With that I go back to his hospital room. I am not being myself. I am not naturally like this. I am mostly sullen and hostile. But for some odd reason, I feel different. Maybe it was because of the long period of depression. I don't know. Before I know it, I am already on his room door, and I go in without knocking.

"You are back!" Cato says. "Yes, didn't I promise I was coming back?" I ask laughing. He has been acting like a five-year-old since he woke up. "I have some news for you!" I tell him, smiling. "News? What are they?" He asks, exited.

"Well, you are going to be released from the hospital…" he is grinning like an idiot by now- "and you are coming to district twelve with me!" I say, with just a hint of excitement in my voice. "No way! Am I living with you for now on?" He asks, utterly exited.

"Yes…!" I say- "we are leaving to district two in one hour, so you can take your personal stuff from your house, and then we are heading to district twelve." I say. "Okay, so why did they told you to take me with you?" He asks, curiously. "They didn't asked me to take you with me". I say- "I asked for it." "Really?" He asks, sounding like a five-year-old learning a new thing. "Yea! Now, I need to go to talk with Dr. Kenninsten, Haymitch and Enobaria, and I think a nurse will come to help you prepare okay?" I say. "Okay!" He answers really Exited. I exit the room and go to look for Dr. Kenninsten.

When I find him, he greets me and asks me what he can do for me. "Cato has been acting weird today. What's up with him?" I ask. "What do you mean with "weird"?" He says. "Like a five-year-old? He really acts like if he has five years or something like that!" I say. "Oh! Right! They are side effects from the medicine he have been taking, when you stop taking it, it gives this type of effects, but don't worry; it will stop for tomorrow morning." He says, and then looks at his mobile.

"Haymitch and Enobaria are waiting for you at Cato's room. They are all ready to leave." he says. "Thanks doctor!" I say, and turn to leave, when he stops me. "Katniss, here is a list and a box with Cato's medicines and doses. He might stop taking the medicine after two weeks of being with you. also the hospital's number, if there is an emergency, okay?" He says.

"Okay doctor. is the medicine that makes him act like a five-year-old is on this list?" I ask, hoping that it is not. "No, it is not. That medicine is a sedative, which was used on him for surgery of his many wounds. But it might just be gone in one or two days, so don't worry." He says, giving me a small smile. I smile back and head out and into Cato's hospital room again.
