Chapter 7:

Author's Note: Would anyone like a chapter or at least part of it in a different POV? If you would please review or PM me saying which character.

I walk away back to where Johanna and the others were.

"Were you trying to kill him?" Annie yells to me when I get closer to them, Annie isn't exactly happy with Cato but she likes almost everybody so it's hard for her to stay mad at anyone.

I wipe my face and sit down beside Glimmer saying nothing. After around twenty minutes, Principal Snow and the other teachers come around to the front of the school.

"Ok students, you will all be going home now. You can call your parents or if you are unable to, we will contact them." Principal Snow tells us. Most people just go and get into their vehicles.

As soon as I reach my apartment building I go through the doors and go to our room. When I enter I see the living room is empty and boxes are covering the floor.

"What the hell is happening?" I say to myself.

"Watch your language honey," I hear my mother say from her and my father's room.

"Are we moving?"

"No, well yes but were just renting a house nearby. I think its 3 minutes away." My mom passes me three large boxes to fill my stuff in. I dash to my room and start packing my stuff in the boxes.

I go back out to the living room to see my mom, "Hey, are we moving today?" I ask.

My mom nods, "Your father and I have been packing all day. We just didn't want to go through your stuff without you being there."

I start to walk away but my mom stops me, "Oh and dear why are you not in school?"

"Something happened in science so it got cancelled for the day," I walk back to my room to finish packing the rest of my belongings.

Later on in the evening we start packing all of the boxes in a big truck and head to our new house. During the car ride I notice we pass by Cato's house we stop a few houses down from his.

"Why are we stopping?" I ask curiously.

My dad replies, "This is our new house." I look up at the house and see that is a mansion. We literally live two houses down from Cato and his family now.

"We live just a few houses down from that boy you like Clo," My mom says.

"Oh how fun."

We wait for the big truck to catch up to us but when it arrives maybe 30 seconds later I just wish we could go back to the apartment. The men that helped us pack the boxes start lugging them out of the truck.

"Clove why don't you go to Cato's house, you can stay there until everything is settled," My dad suggests. I reluctantly walk to his house and knock on the door. Seconds after, Cato's mom answers.

"Oh hi dear, I heard about you guys moving, isn't it nice that it's so close?" she says.

"Yeah." She welcomes me in and says I can go to Cato's room, and that he has a few friends over.

As I walk up the stairs I hear a laugh which I recognize as Finnick's. When I reach his room I peer inside and see Cashmere sitting on Cato's lap. I also see Marvel, Peeta, Gale and Finnick. I quickly back away and make my way down the stairs. As I walk someone grabs my arm. I look back and see Finnick towering over me, he must have seen me.

"Look Clove, he doesn't love her, he's just trying to get you back." Finnick says. I don't say anything so he continues talking, "How about you come over to my house for a bit, I already told everyone I was leaving." I nod my head slowly.

Finnick and I run to his house which is surprisingly only a block away. When we arrive he opens the door for me and I walk in. Finnick shuts the door behind us.

"Nice place."

"Thanks, my mom just had it redone."

Finnick leads me to the T.V room and tells me to take a seat. He comes back with a box full of alcohol.

"I'm assuming your parents aren't home," I say.

"Parent," Finnick corrects me. I stare at him not knowing what to say. "My dad died before I was born."

"I'm so sorry Finnick."

"Don't be."

Finnick sits beside me on the couch and flips through the channels to find a movie. I take out a bottle of vodka from the box and read the label.

"Won't your mom notice that this is gone?" I ask suspiciously.

"She rarely notices anything now, everyone said after my dad died she went mad." Finnick says not making eye contact with me once.

Finnick asks me if I'm alright with watching the movie Hangover then plays it. I've already saw it so I devote most of my time to trying to finish the bottle of vodka. I look over and see Finnick is working on a bottle of scotch. I can't stand scotch.

By the end of the movie I've finished the bottle and Finnick has finished his and is onto his second.

"Finnick you should stop drinking you're going to be sick," I slur.

Finnick doesn't say anything so I just stare at him. Then I move closer and tap his arm. I look at his face and see that he looks very depressed. I'm assuming it's all the talk about his dad. Then without thinking I look up and kiss Finnick. At first he pulls back but then he kisses me back. I feel so desperate for closeness and I can tell it's getting out of hand because Finnick starts walking up the stairs with me and I know I should stop it but I won't because maybe just right now, just this once I can pretend that he's Cato and that he loves me.

I wake up at our new house on the couch. I try think of how I got here and what happened yesterday. When I finally put the pieces together I feel like throwing up and then I do. I walk upstairs to my room and start sobbing. I feel so stupid and poor Annie. I'm a horrible friend. I feel like I took advantage of Finnick to, because he was drunk and sad but then again so was I.

At around 9:00pm I sneak outside, I didn't even notice that I had been in my room all day. I get in my car and drive to our old apartment. When I arrive I park directly in front of the apartment and head to an alley behind it. There I find exactly what I'm looking for. When we first moved here I noticed there was a bunch of guys back here selling drugs, I didn't really bother telling anybody though. I double check that I have three knives for protection because you never know what a high male will do. I walk up slowly and see a guy wearing a dark red sweatshirt; he has light brown hair and brown eyes. The other 4 guys that are with him are all in black sweaters with their hoods up so I can't see any of their features. One of the guys points in my direction and I see the other ones poised to attack.

"I'm just here for something to get high off of," I tell them. They all look me up and down once.

"What do you want then?" the one in the red sweater asks.

"Whatever you got." He reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a little bottle full of white pills.

"You good with this?"

"Yes, how much?" I ask.

"50," I cringe and pull out my wallet. I hand him the money and take the bottle from his hands.

"See you next week," I say walking back to my car.
