Chapter 7:

Cato's POV

How can I say that to Clove and Katniss. I lost the best people in my life except Rue and Prim and Victoria and Ryder but you get my point. And to top it all off we broke up. The guys and I were in the locker room and me and Peeta were just laying face down on the bench moaning we did that in all our classes and during the fan signing so far after we broke up with Katniss and Clove. "Guys you've been doing that all day come on I know what will cheer you guys up a nice game of basketball, says Marvel as him and Finnick get us sitting up straight. "Katniss and Clove loved basketball, says Peeta as we start to sniffle. "Oh come on now the water works, says Thresh. "Thresh they are best friends of course there going to cry, says Rue from the vent. Rue always sneaks up from the vent but away from the vent window so she won't see us. "Wait Clove just posted something on YouTube it;s of Katniss and Clove singing Mary Did You Know like the one that Aaliyah Rose girl did and Pentatonix's, says Rue. "Let me see, I say as I open the vent and rue hands me her laptop the one Thresh got her. Me and Peeta watch the whole video and burst out crying. "OK Rue go ask Cinna if we can take them home and that we will be back, says Finnick as him and Marvel walk out with me and him. "K, shouts Rue. "Rue out of the vents, we hear a teacher shout from the vents. "I'm doing something important Ms. Martin, Rue shouts back.

We walk to our bikes and ride to the bakery. When we got there Katniss and Clove were there talking to Rye.

Katniss's POV

Aw they are crying over us, now I feel bad. "Katniss Clove, deal with them, Finnick says then him and Marvel walk out leaving Cato and Peeta there sniffling and tears coming out. "Whatcha do to them, says Rye to me and Clove. "They called us diva's, Clove says. "So we broke up with them, I finish. "Ooh this will be interesting, he says then puts his hand under his chin. "Clove Katniss we're sorry we called you diva's we weren't thinking, says Cato through sniffles. "Why did you guys say that you know what happened to us, I say. "Because we were idiots and jerks, Peeta says then starts crying again. "You guys have to earn that back, says Clove then we grab our soda's that Rye gave us and walked out. "Bye Rye, we say. "Bye guys, he yells back.

We walked to my house and went in the pool. Me and Clove were at the edge of the pool talking about school and missions and all that stuff. "Kat they were crying over us, says Clove. "I know, Clove maybe we were acting like diva's and we love them there our best friends, I say. "I know but they have to earn it back, Clove says. "Hey guys, says Rue as she jumps in the pool. "Rue what are you doing here, Clove says. "The guys came back to school and Cinna told me to ask them what happened they told me you guys turned them down so I told Cinna and told me to come check on you guys because we can't have a crying Peeta on the mission, I texted you guys it check your phones, Rue says. We get our phones and Rue ask "What is up with your phones. "I slapped Prim this morning and Clove didn't clean her room, I say. "Oh your mom just gave me a phone to because I forgot to tell her I left school I have to keep it for a week, says Rue. "I think half the Victors did to, she adds.

"Oh I got the text, Clove says. "I did to, I say. "Come on guys lets go jump in the trampoline tent, Clove says. We jumped around in the trampoline tent for a while but then my mom called us in for lunch. We walked into the kitchen and Mrs. Knight and Victoria were here. "Hi guys, Mrs. Knight says. "Hi, we say then hug her. "Clove I heard what happened with you and Cato I don't blame you they know what happened to you guys they shouldn't have said that, says Mrs Knight. "I know, we say. "OK come on eat your pizza and there are chips in the pantry, me and Mrs. Knight are going to get the papers so it approves that me and Rick are Rue's and Thresh's official guardians and Clove your mom is coming by because we have to dog sit your dog because your parents are going on a business trip for 3 days to Orlando, there are m and m's in the cabinet Rue don't touch if you do you have that phone for another week and Katniss remember to take your inhaler, and Rue your's and Thresh's rooms are ready we already put your stuff in, says my mom as she runs around the kitchen to get her stuff. "OK, I say then walk to the drawer with my inhaler. "OK don't break anything if someone is at the door check the monitor from the security camera first, says my mom. "Mama Kathy we have been home alone before, says Clove. "OK, and your not home alone your father is in the office down the hall, says my mom. "Oh, I say.

"Bye girls, says . "Bye, we say and walk to the table were our pizza is. "I got a text, says Rue then pulls her phone out. "It's from Annie 'Peeta had a sugar rush at lunch but he is fine', says Rue as she reads the text. "OK, I say. "Kat you know that Peeta lives here and Cato is staying here until his arm and leg are better, says Rue. "Shit, I say. "Katniss watch your language or you will have the phone for 2 more weeks, yells my father. "Sorry dad, this phone doesn't work anyway, I yell back. "Bring it here we have more, he yells back. I get up and walk to my dad's office.

Rue's POV

Cato and Peeta sent me back home because they wanted me to see and tell them how to get them back. "Cato told me you and Katniss want them to that they have to earn you back what do you expect they do, I ask. "I don't know something romantic serenade us picnic in the park or on the beach just something romantic, she says. "I wish Rory can do something like that, I say. "Rue, Rue do you copy, says someone through my watch. I take out the screen from my back pocket and see it's Peeta. Katniss walks back into the room with a new phone and walked over to me and Clove scooted her chair closer. "Catnap, Peeta says. Katniss scoffs and walks away with Clove. "Rue did you find out anything, he says loudly. "Find out what, Katniss says. "Nothing got go bye, he says then ends the call. "Rue find out what, says Clove. "OK Peeta and Cato sent me back home to find out what you guys wanted them to do so you can take them back, I say while playing with the screen and shrugging a lot. "Rue why would you do that, says Clove. "Because I hate seeing you guys mad at each other your my family, I say. "Aw they sent a spy for us, says Clove. "Wait what, I say confused. "We want them back to but they have to earn it, says Katniss. "Nice, I say.

The doorbell then rings and Clove checks the monitor. "It's my mom, Clove says then runs to the door with me and Katniss trailing behind her and Katniss was carrying Victoria who I forgot was here. "Hi mom, Clove says as she opens the door. "Hi Clove, hi girls. "Clove here's your stuff, be good don't get into trouble and here's your phone give it to Rick though and tell you can have it back in 3 days but remember they can punish you and this trip is being turned into a week but we will be back by New Years, says Mrs. Fuhrman. "OK bye mom, Clove said then hugged her. "OK bye, she says then walks away.

We walk into the living room and Katniss turned the TV on for Victoria. "Oh guys I ordered these microphone things that someone personalized for the group it's in my room, I say. "OK let's see, Katniss says as she picks up Victoria. We walk upstairs and I walk in my room. "Wow, your parents added stuff, I say to Katniss then sit in the bubble chair. I then turn to the desk and see a laptop. "OMG I have 2 laptops now, I scream. "OK where's the mic's, says' Clove. "Over in that box there is one were we don't have to hold and just a regular mic pick one, I say. "Wow the boys have the one with no jewels right, Clove says. "Ya, I say then cross my legs in my chair. "I got you one to Victoria, I say then Clove pulls out a toy microphone and hands it to Victoria.

"Yay, she says then I notice a weird key necklace around her neck. "Hey Victoria where did you get that necklace, I ask. "Oh ya Threshy told me to gyive it to you thist morning, she says then crawls in my lap. "Let me call him, I say then pull out my screen for my watch. Thresh then picks up. "Thresh what is this key Tori gave me this key what is it for, I ask then hold it up. "Hey Rue what's this trunk you have, ask Katniss as she pulls it out. "I don't know, I say. "Rue I can't talk now I'm in class, Thresh says then ends the call. I walk over to the trunk and see the key hole then I look at the key. "I think I should wait for the others I've never opened this before and I don't want to know what happens, I say then push it up against the front of my bed.

Katniss's POV

We walk downstairs and Finnick Peeta and Cato are standing there, their still in tears and their eyes are even redder. Why don't they just get over us even though I don't want them to get over us, ugh why are they doing this to me."What are you doing here, Clove ask. "I live here, Peeta says. "And I live here until my arm and leg are better, Cato says. "I just had to drive them home I'm out, Finnick says then walks out the door. "Aren't you suppose to be at school, Katniss says."Cinna let us out since he thought we were depressed too much and we got detention tomorrow by Mrs. Hannagin for disturbing the class, says Cato. "Don't give in I know they are cute and adorable right now just don't give in, Clove says in my ear as I look straight at them. "Clove look at them, I whisper back.

"Give us a moment guys, Clove says then grabs my arm and drags me into my room. "Katniss they have to earn back our friendship and relationship, I know they are bring really adorable and cute right now but we can't go back to them not yet, Clove says. "Clove they got detention and sent home and crying there eyes out because of us Peeta isn't even aloud to go on the mission anymore, I say. "OK ya but we have to wait, Clove says. "Fine but if they go into depression then I will kill you, I say.

We walk back out and Peeta and Cato are outside sitting on the lawn. We walk in front of them and Clove says "Guys you heard what we said and we ment it earn it back. "What if we said we are taking you out on a date later, says Peeta through tears. "That's 30% of our relationship earned back, I say then kiss Peeta's and Cato's cheeks. "Earn the rest back OK, Clove says. "OK, they say then we walk away to the back door. "We love you, Cato and Peeta shout and I turn around and walk backwards and say "40%. They get up and go to there cars with I can hear a few sniffles.

Me and Clove walk to the backyard and Rue and Victoria are in the tree house. "Rue your dead, Clove says. "No I'm not because I'm helping you guys, Rue says. "How, I say. "I'm bringing your relationship closer together, she says. "How, we say. "Because we all know you guys didn't really break up with them this is just a fight and you guys still love them it's basic math, she says. "Whatever, we say and climb the tree. "Oh Cato is coming over to drop Ryder off so we can bring him to school and pick him up later, says Rue as Victoria plays with her shirt. "OK, let's go inside and wait then, I say and get up.

After 10 minutes Cato came and dropped Ryder off. "Hi Ryder, I say and pick him up. "H-hi K-k-Katniss, he says. "You ready to go to school, Clove says. "Y-ya, he says. "H-hi Katniss hi Clove, Cato says as he plays with the sides of his shirt. "Hi Cato, we say. "Um I'm excited for tonight, he says. "OK, where are you taking us, Clove ask. "It's a surprise, he says. "OK, so far you and Peeta have 45% of our friendship back still have to work on relationship, Clove says. "OK, Cato says. "Bye Cato, I say then close the door. "OK here get your backpack on, I say then put his back pack on. "Now girls let's fix his clothes, Clove says then we tuck half of his shirt into his pants so it is tuckled and we mess his hair up a little and fix his pants and remove on of his backpack straps. "Hey what's this necklace under your shirt, ask Clove. "M-my fam-ily g-got it f-for m-m-me, he says. "Oh it's cool, I say then tuck it back under and kiss Ryder's cheek making him blush. "Come on, Rue come on bring Victoria, I yell. "DAD I'M GOING TO DROP RYDER OF THE SCHOOL, I yell to my dad. "OK, he yells back. We walk to my car and Clove an I strap Ryder and Victoria in there car seats. We were driving to school only like 15 minutes away. "Clovey Katniss I heard your mad at Cato, says Victoria. "Ya we are but don't worry it will get better, Clove says. "OKay because I also heard he was crying all day and so was Peeta, says Victoria. "I think there better now it's just a cloudy day for them but it's get better, I say.

After the ride we were at Ryder's school. "OK let's get you signed in, I say then open Ryder's door. We walk in the school and the kids start cheering. "Oh look what we have here Ryder and the Victors, says Ryder's teacher. "Everyone say hello Katniss Clove and Rue, she says. "HELLO KATNISS CLOVE AND RUE, the class says. "Hi everyone we're just here to drop off Ryder, I say then put him down and he goes to the back of the class in the corner.

I see some girl pass Ryder a note and he reads it and throws it on the ground and he puts his head down and I can hear him sniffle. "Wait can I take Ryder back a minute, I say. "Go ahead, Ryder, says the teacher. The 5 of us walk in the hallway and I kneel down in front of Ryder. "Ryder what happened, I ask. "No-n-nothing, he says. "Ryder I saw that girl pass that note, what did it say, I ask. "I-it s-s-said th-that i-if I-I'm re-re-related to a V-v-victor th-then a-all th-th-those dea-dea-deadly m-m-missions a-ar-are be-because of my u-u-ugly f-f-face, he says in tears. "Aw Ryder, I say then pull him in a hug. "Ryder your not ugly, you are the cutest little boy in there, Clove says. "Ya Ryder how about we say something to your class about bullying, says Rue. Ryder and Victoria knew what bullying was because the Victors were helping in this class and we were watching them and the teacher asked us to talk about it. Yes in the Victors we like helping a lot at orphanage's foster homes homeless shelter classrooms and animal sheltors. "O-ok, he says. Clove lifts him up and we walk back into the classroom.

"Well Victors would you like to say anything, ask the teacher. "Actually yes, Clove says then puts Ryder down and he runs to the back. "OK guys there is this thing called bullying it's when you hurt an innocent person, I say.

"Now when you bully someone it doesn't feel good and if you are being bullied tell someone like a older brother or sister or a adult but some don't because they fear the adult will talk to the person and they will call you a tattle tale and bully you more, says Clove. "But if you tell someone they will come up with a idea to make it better, Rue says. "Now if your a bully in this class raise your hand or you pick on someone and call them names, I ask. Half the class raised there hand. "Now thank you for being honest but how do you feel when you pick on them, you, Clove says as she picks on the person that called Ryder a bully. "I feel bad but that person deserves it they have a problem who couldn't pick on that, she says.

"They don't deserve it if they can't control it and they don't deserve it, Rue says. "What's your name, I ask. "Sophia, she says. "Well Sophia I heard you are picking on Ryder last week why do you do that, I ask. "Because he is stupid he always stutters and barely knows how to walk, Sophia says. "Mm, well Sophia do you know that Ryder as a condition that he can't control and he learns things at a slow pace, Clove says. "No, she says. "And he told me he used to like you Sophia, Rue says. "R-r-rue, Ryder says. "You like me, Sophia says. "Y-ya, he says. "Why I'm always so mean to you, Sophia says. "I-i g-guess I s-s-saw th-th-the g-g-g-good in e-e-ev-everyone, he says. "I'm sorry I like you to I just have a funny way of showing it, Sophia says. "I'm sorry, your kinda cute when you stutter, she says then gets up kisses his cheek and Ryder's face lights up. Ryder then gets up and hugs her. "Awww, me Clove and Rue who is video taping it say. "Now everyone go sit next to the person you bully, I say. Everyone moves there seat. "OK so far those people you bully look like innocent people, Clove says. "Guys don't bully them you don't know there story and they don't know yours so just leave them alone and try and be friends talk to them make friends you may find out something you didn't know about each other, says Rue. "Now guys what did you guys learn today, Clove says. "You in the red hoodie, Rue says. "Not to bully because they are good people, he says. "Correct when you get older guys and someone is being bullied don't stand by and watch say something to them help them up and if they do something to you do it right back it's called defending yourself that's what we do we defend people's honor, I say. "OK, the class says. "Because sometimes if you bully you make people feel bad or if you just talk to the person you bully and tell them why you bully them it may turn into something else or love, Clove says. "Thank you Victors, says the teacher. "No problem, I say. "Now not to ruin your day but the paparazzi are outside, says the teacher. "UGH, we say. "OK we'll just deal with them bye guys, Rue says. "BYE, the class says.

We walk out the classroom and walk out the school and see Christina Perez again. "Katniss Clove Rue we heard that you were talking about bullying at this local school, she says. "Yes we have, Rue says. "Well I think that is very kind of you guys, now Clove and Katniss we hear that you are angry with Peeta Mellark and Cato Knight what is the story behind that, she ask. "How did you find that out, I ask. "I took your phone and tweeted it on twitter, Victoria says to Rue. "How do you know to work twitter, Rue ask. "Annie taught me, Victoria says. "Now who is this cutie, Christina asks. "This is Victoria but we call Tori or Vicky and she is Cato's little sister and we are babysitting her until Katniss's mom comes back, Clove says. "Ah, now you guys are close with Cato's siblings which are Victoria Knight Ryder Knight and Brandon Knight, she ask. "Yes, we say. "Then are you close with Cato, she ask. "Well ya he is my boyfriend and we all have been friends with him since we can walk and I know we are mad at him now but he is the best thing that has ever happened to us, Clove says. "And what am I a piece of dirt, Rue says but we know she is joking. "Aw no Rue your my lover, Clove says in a joking way making everyone laugh. "No Rue your my like my sister you make me laugh and help me out, Clove says. "Aw, best'es, she says then side hugs Clove. "OK you 3 are so cute but the Victors you guys are in the music business to and you are working with Haymitch right. "Yes we are also working with the cast of Step Up All In and it is really cool because we get to hang out with them and learn all these cool dance moves, I say.

"OK now 2 more questions the Victors help out a lot in the community like in foster homes and orphanage's and homeless shelters and all that stuff what was the best one of all, she ask. "Oh the Victors have actually talk about this before it was at this homeless shelter for kids and it was so sad but since we have so much money that we don't even want we sent all those kids to a hotel for a weekend with a whole bunch of food water and fun and we were there and there was this really cute boy like cuter than Cato and Peeta mixed together and we got to adopt him for a week remember that Katniss, Clove says. "Oh my god he was so adorable and we gave some of the kids like $20 bucks each and when we gave him the $20 dollars he was like I'm going to get my sister something for Christmas since it was around that time last year and it was so cute and he was so happy and since then every 2 weeks we go see him and we are actually going to see him in a few days, I say. "Wow you guys are just to much for this world you help out amazing singers and save people's life's and still have time to be normal, I mean you guys are a triple threat, now my last question and this is from a fan is if you guys had to pick 3 of the guys from the Victors to stay the rest of your life with who would it be, she ask.

"Oh my god I don't know they are all so sweet, I don't know, Rue says. "Peeta, Cato, and...Marvel, I say. "Marvel why Marvel no offence Marvel if your watching this, Clove says to the camera making everyone laugh. "I don't know I couldn't decide like it was easy to decide Cato and Peeta but like I still would like some laughter in my laugh, I say. "What about Thresh Brandon and Finnick, Rue says. "You see I had to choose between them and it's so hard so I went by last name and Marvel's last name is Adam's so, I say. "OK, but I would choice Cato, Finnick, and...Rory, Clove says. "Rory, I say. "Wow how are you going to say it like that, Oh Rory, she says then scoffs at he end of her sentence. "What it's just Rory he is crazy and hyper, no offence, I say. "Well it's just Rory and Brandon are so cute but Rory I just love his hair and just want to squeeze his cheeks to death, Clove says. "Remember he is my boyfriend, Rue says. "Yeesh, Clove says. "OK I got it, I would choose Thresh, Gale, and Gloss, Rue says. "Why them, I ask. "For muscle, she says making us all laugh. "What about you Vicky who would you choose, says Clove. "I would choose Peety, Cato, and Brandon, says Victoria. "OK well thank you girls but I would love if next week you would come to my studio and have an interview, Christina said. "Of course can we bring a few other people, I ask. "Of course, she says. "OK thank you Christina, Clove says. "Thank you, I'm Christina Perez and thanks for watching, she says. "Thank you guys so much and I would love it that if you come you can bring the kid from the homeless shelter, she ask. "Of course, we say. "Thank you well see you guys later, Christina says then walks away.

We drive back home and see the Victors are home. We walk in the house and everyone is in the kitchen. "Hey guys, I say as we walk in. "Hey, they say. "We saw you on Christina's show, says Marvel. "OK, we say. "You want to live with me for the rest of your life Kat, Marvel says in a baby voice. "I said for laughter OK, I say. "Fine, he says. "And Clovey just wants to squeeze my cheeks, Rory says. "I do now come here, Clove says then starts chasing him around the kitchen until Rory falls and Clove jumps on top of him and squeezes his cheeks. "Ah Clove your squeezing the money maker, Rory says making us laugh. "Fine but I want those cheeks later ,she says then gets off of him. "And who is the girl that is all about muscle, Gale says. "RUE, we all scream. "What I need protection this fragile body cannot be hurt, Rue says then waves her arms around but making sure not to drop Victoria."OK let me remove the baby from your arm before you murder it; Finnick says then lifts Victoria in his arms. "Now when are we going to Christina at the homeless shelter because Mama Kathy and Rick said we can adopt him for another week, says Thresh. "Next week because we are bringing him to Christina's show, I say.

"OK, also Cinna is coming later for the mission Peeta you still can't go because you and Cato keep breaking down here and there over these 2, Madge says then points at me and Clove. "You I don't have to stand here and listen to this, says Clove then gets up and walks out. "Let her cool down or else she will reheat, Rue says. "OK ya but instead it's going to be Brandon Johanna Marvel and Thresh are going, says Madge. "OK, they say. "And Cato and Peeta Cinna thinks it's safe if you don't go on any undercover missions until your better, says Annie. "What, Peeta says. "Now there keeping us from going on missions, Cato says then points at me. I gasp and say "You know Peeta and Cato we are threw for good don't even try to make it better, I say then walk out.

"Wait Katni-, Cato yells but I can't hear them anymore because I walked to the back and go up the tree house and find Clove crying. "There blaming us now because Cinna said they can't go on mission until there better, I say and sit next to her and cry. "Katniss Clove, we hear Peeta scream. "Guys I'm sorry, Cato screams. "Up there Cato, Peeta says then starts to climb the tree. They get to the top and sit across from us. "Guys I'm sorry I was just mad because I love going on missions and helping people, says Cato. "You guys have gone from 45% back to 30%, I say. "We deserve that, Peeta says. "Can we have a hug, Cato says. "Fine, Clove says. We crawl to their sides and I rest my head on Peeta's chest and he wraps his arm around my shoulder and Clove sits on Cato's lap and wraps both her arms around Cato's waist. "You still wear the bracelet, Peeta ask. Ya I still want to know that we are friends, I say then kiss his cheek making him blush. "It's like 3rd grade when that happened, Clove says.

We went back inside and everyone was smiling like crazy. "What's going on, Cato says. Cinna said that he wants you guys to go on the mission because it may bring you guys closer but there is a slight chance you may not survive, Madge says. "WHAT, we scream.
