High Heels-3

Clove pov.

What is happening? That's the only thing running through my head. Who was that guy? He seemed really familiar. And he loves me? "Ms. Odair, we are going to have to put you under anesthesia," the nurse says before I'm once again in the dark.

Cato pov.

"Hey! Let me back in!", I yell, pounding on the door. Bitch. I walk angrily back to the waiting room, where Finn and Annie are. "Are you okay? You look pretty shaken up," Annie says. "Got kicked out. They said its more serious then they thought," I say through clenched teeth. "She'll be okay," Annie says grabbing me and Finn for a hug. She always was the one to help everyone calm down. "She's a fighter. She can push herself to her limits. Remember that meet where she was a lap behind the leader, and she ended up winning a few laps later. She's amazing," adds Annie.

"I'm back, hope you didn't miss me too much," says Jackie as she bursts through the door. She hands me, Annie, and Finn a change of clothes. I'm always at the Odair's, so she probably only had to make one stop. All of the girls in our group of friends pretty much live in Clove's room, because her parents are never home. Her dad died, though she never told us how. Her mom is a surgeon, and the worst mother ever. She just abandons her kids, never comes home. Clove acts as a mother to her little sisters, Arabella and Aria. Arabella is 12, and Aria is 5. That reminds me. "Where are Bells and Ari?", I ask using their nicknames. "Aunt Effie and Uncle Haymitch's," Finnick replies. I nod. "I'm going to I change, you should too Annie," Jackie says grabbing her friend by the arm. It's just me and Finn now. "She didn't remember me," I blurt, breaking the silence. "She didn't remember you? You're her best friend! If she remembers anyone, it would be you. Does that mean she doesn't remember anyone?", says Finnick. "I don't know," I reply worriedly. "They'll fix her Cato, they'll fix her. The doctors here are so advanced, they have to," he says, his voice full of hope.

Annie pov.

"He loves her too you know," I say as I walk down the hall with Jackie. "It's obvious. She's been obsessed with him sense first grade, I don't even know how they aren't together yet," she replies. "The nurse told me and Finn she was having memory problems. She didn't remember who he was," I inform her. "Oh shit," she mumbles. Jackie never swears, ever.

We change into our street clothes, and it feels better when we are out of our dresses. Cato and Finn must have gone to change, because they're gone when we get back. We sit down, and wait for any news on our friend.

Cato pov.

After me and Finnick have changed out of our suits, we sit with Annie an Jackie to wait for a nurse. It doesn't take long, but the news is horrible. "Ms Odair's leg was shattered, and it resulted in us having to amputate it. We have worked on some memory building things, like showing her pictures, and she has improved. She remembers some of her family and friends," says the nurse. Amputated? But she's a runner! "When can she go home?", I ask eagerly. "In a few hours. You can visit her now," she says and leads us to a room far back in a hallway.

We step in, and I see her dark brown eyes meet mine. "Cato?", she asks curiously. I smile, she actually remembers me! She sits up on her elbows, and gestures for me to come forward. I walk over from the doorway, and she pushes herself up. As soon as I'm next to her, she flings her arms around me. "I love you too," I hear her whisper in my ear.
