Chapter 7: I Hope You Had the Time of Your Life

One whole month after that whole Titanic adventure with Cato, we finally became a couple. We waited and made sure we knew each other well. And after a month he finally made a move after we went on another friend date for like the 7th time. After giving me his typical hug where he wraps me wholly in his big, muscular arms as I put my head against his buff chest, he put his fingers under my chin and lifted my chin up so that my lips could meet his in the most magical kiss I ever had. It was like this was our real first kiss and I would never forget it. As soon as he pulled away it began to drizzle a little and we walked under the part of my roof that jutted out over the front door and that's when I asked him, "So does that kiss make us a couple finally?" He gave me an enthusiastic "Yes!" and gave me a quick peck before he had to get home for curfew.

After that kiss I was smiling like a complete idiot for the rest of the night and the rest of that weekend. Sunday morning, Katniss told me how happy I looked again and she was right, I was happy. The happiest I'd been since…Gale. Well that's in the past and Gale's happy for me, even though it's Cato. Over the next month, things began to fly by. Katniss and Thresh finally became official and Glimmer and Marvel got back together about and broke up like 10 times. Sad thing is, I'm not joking. I swear I counted at least 10. Meanwhile, Finnick was back to being the man whore of Capitol High and I noticed Gale was now too. I began to wonder if Gale and Finn were fucking as I saw them around each other a lo and I swear I can see Finnick squeeze Gale's ass in a more than jokingly way. Fucking slut. Not Gale. I don't blame him. I just wish Finnick would apologize. Everyone else pretty much was the same.

So as Cato and I reached our 1 month anniversary, things were going great. And the sex was fucking fantastic. I mean Cato has a bigger dick than Finnick! It actually is a little scary! Like I actually said holy shit the first time i gave him head. But my experienced body learned to deal with Cato quickly. Thank you promiscuous personality. Of course one day at school, which was also my 1 month with Cato, fate decided to fuck with me. Starting with Finnick O'Dair.

It was an otherwise normal day until Finnick passed me a note via Clove on my way to class saying that he needed to talk to me about a serious matter and he wants to meet at the patio during lunch. My mind raced about what it could be but I decided its best not to dwell especially with Cato walking my way to ravage my mouth with his tongue before class. Cato was great at making out and it was hard to fight the urge I got in my pants as he caressed my face while shoving his tongue in my mouth. Oh he's so good. Of course we have to go to class so we stop and he kisses me one last time before we're off to class. Oh that Cato sure is great. How do I deserve him?

Soon my next class is over and it's lunch. I realize Finn will be waiting for me so I quickly change my books before heading to the patio. I also text Cato to let him know I'll be late to lunch because I need to talk to Finn. He'll probably get jealous but I doubt he'll really have a reason to be jealous. As I walk into the patio I see Finnick sitting on a bench by a bush that curves with the back of the bench and is sort of a secluded part of the patio where people usually make out and maybe then some after school. Oh god, what if he wants to make out! I can't! I love Cato and that's that. FIGHT YOUR URGES PEETA IF HE MAKES A MOVE DAMN IT.

Luckily as I walk up to him I don't see lust in his eyes but instead, apology? Maybe he's finally saying sorry. "Hey Peeta. There's something I need to say that's long overdue." Damn straight you mother fucking asshole. "I fucked up. Big time. But I know I'm not good for you. Cato is the guy for you. Or even Gale. I'm glad you're with Cato now. It's the happiest I've seen you." Stop rambling and just apologize Finnick! "So anyway, I asked you to come here because I want to say sorry for everything. For cheating on you. For hurting you. For not apologizing months ago. For everything I ever did wrong. I'm sorry."

I look into his sea green eyes and I know he's being sincere. "Thank you Finnick. It really means a lot, you saying all that." I give him a smile and he smiles back at me. "And by the way, I hope you care about that Annie girl." He looks shocked that I said that but recovers and says, "I actually do. But I can never see her that often with how busy I am with school now." His expression becomes a deep frown and I decide to comfort him. "Well, hey! Just spend your spring break in LA. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you." Finnick smiles for a second but soon finds his frown again. "I don't know Peeta, we were both really drunk and I left the morning after and I've tried talking to her but she won't talk to me. Oh so he was drunk. I'm not surprised.

"Well then you still surprise her and show up and make it up to her, okay?" He smiles and nods his head. "You're a really great guy Peeta. Anyone who lets you go, including myself, is an idiot." He kisses me on the cheek in a friendly way and stands up. "So how about we get to lunch?" I nod my head and we head off to lunch. Cato looks kind of mad but I tell him what happened, minus the cheek kiss, because I know he'll get jealous over a friendly kiss. The rest of the day goes well, especially my quick sessions with Cato. It was kind of funny when Vice Principal Coin saw us and broke it up saying we could do that later but now is the time for class and Cato turned such a deep shade of crimson I thought it would never fade.

Then before we knew it, it was the end of the day! As we all headed to our bus, Cato wanted to quickly talk to his buddy Marvel so he jerked me towards him with his hand that was intertwined with mine. When we saw them I was surprised to see him getting a ride home with Finnick and Glimmer. That must be a hell of a car ride. Or maybe they are all going to have an orgy? I don't know and I don't care. I'd rather not see that. After a quick chat we head to the bus finally and Mrs. Trinket is yelling at us to hurry up. She seems less cheery today. Probably that time of the month. We head toward the back of the bus and sit in the seats next to Gale and Katniss. As the bus gets moving, Katniss and Gale get to talking about the last episode of Teen Wolf. Blehh. I remember watching it once with them. Never. Again. I hate werewolves. Meanwhile, Cato begins to nudge me and make out with me but I notice out of the window that Finnick's car is next to the bus and Glimmer is looking and pointing at me and Cato as he tries to show us off to everyone as usual. Since I feel weird after Glimmer was looking at us and pointing I decide I'm only going to let Cato snuggle me for now until we get to my house. So I sit in his lap and he wraps his huge arms around me. Oh his biceps feel so nice wrapped around me. And I also feel 'not so little Cato' getting happier by the second.

As I look out the window I see Finnick start to swerve and then I hear Effie squeal as the bus begins to swerve also. Then the windows are shaking and I see roof tiles come flying off the houses we pass on 3rd Avenue. Then I see some house begin to cave in and I look over to Gale and Katniss. We all grab on to each other, holding our hands across the aisle in case this is the end for us. The bus starts doing wheelies as I hear Effie scream along with the other kids. A few windows break open as kids heads and limbs bang into them. Then I see a crack ahead in the road that is huge and lifting some of the road to uneven levels. I notice Finnick's car flip over about 3 times and it stops about 50 feet in front of the bus and then Effie slams the breaks and turns the bus to stop the momentum but she fails and I feel the bus begin to turn. I feel Cato grab onto me I feel my hands slip from Gale and Katniss and I scream out, "NOOOOO!" I see them holding on to each other and I see Gale wrap his body around her to cover her as they hold on. Meanwhile Cato wraps himself around me and whispers, "I love you" and as I feel reality begin to flip, literally, I whisper it back before the bus crunches against the ground and I feel myself fly to the other side and instead of falling on to my best friends I fall onto a body I don't recognize but I feel Cato behind me. I can't hear his breathing. Instead I just hear the sirens wailing and the moans and cries of the hurt. Then I hear explosions, loud ones that hurt my ears. I begin to daze out and can't move.

I scream for help but I realize I can't speak and then I see blood pooling in a window some distance away and what's that smell? Then I enter darkness as I faint as the ground continues to shake just a tad. Am I dead? What happened to Cato and my best friends? I know there was an earthquake but how bad was it? I'm scared to know the answers and if I'll wake up from this dark state.

A/N: So what did you guys think? Sorry to leave you hanging! Next update will be a while too. Sorry my babes! But be ready for this next chapter. That's all I'm saying.
