Ch. 10

Cato's P.O.V

The party was quite good actually but it would be better if Peeta was here. It's now ten minutes after eight and I told him to be here at eight. Did he forget it? Or didn't he want to come? Maybe the thing between us is not going to work out even how hard I want it if Peeta doesn't response my feelings I can do what I want but I totally understand him. We fucked him really up in High School and treated him like shit, I must be a very hard time for him and I admire his positive personality. His smile...even after all that what we did to him his smile is full of happiness and I'm happy to be able to kiss the lips who do this smile. We have to come, he has to so I can tell him my true feelings and how much he means to me. Why I didn't done it before after he kissed me it would be the perfect moment. I'm so stupid I really hope he's coming.

The music was loud and kind of annoying. Pop music with electro beat is not my favorite type of music but some songs are catchy. I searched the crowd of already drunk people after Peeta but I couldn't find him. Soon I recognize that I don't really know many of the drunk persons here. I mean this is the party for the football players, I didn't saw any of them except for Marvel and Gale. To be honest I don't really care about the other players I didn't have any conversations jet with one of them the only one was Gale but only because he quite okay. He's like me, not a man of big words and he's the only one in a relationship. Katnipp is her name or anything like that. Marvel was really into it to know his new co-players, I think he didn't get it that this is college and High School and things are different now. Talking about them two I just saw Marvel handing Gale a whole bottle of Vodka. I can smell it from here that Marvel is already drunk as hell, when Gale looked at me with a 'please help me face' I made my way two them. It wasn't easy to get to them because of all the dancing people around here. Some girl who danced on a table fall from it, it was funny but she looked hurt. When I finally arrived Marvel and Gale. Marvel handed me the Vodka bottle and leaned against the wall.

"Her-e Cato drink that Gale is a pu-uussy" Yep, he was pretty drunk and smelled like a cocktail bar.

"No I'm not! I only don't want my Girlfriend to see me with a whole bottle of Vodka!" Gale said.

"Boo-Hoo Vagina it's- it's not like your Gi-rlfriend is here anywa-ys" Marvel said he had problems to talk. He always has when he drinks a lot.

"Yes she is" A girl behind Marvel announced. Marvel turned around and looked at her and scanned her. After that he turned back to Gale.

"Giv-e me a fist bro" Marvel raised his fist for Gale to strike but he didn't.

"Cato this is Katniss by the way" Gale said and I gave Katniss my hand. Katniss was here name not Katnipp still a pretty awkward name. But Cato isn't better.

"So can I leave you with drunk Marvel alone?" Gale asked and took Katniss hand.

"Hey! Don't talk a-bout Marvel like that he's a co-ol guy" Marvel is now talking in third person. I give him an hour before he passes out and I have to bring him home.

"Yeah I'm fine but did you see Peeta?" I asked Gale

"No, I don't but I he will come" Gale said smiled and got with Katniss on the couch.

"Cato" Marvel said and put his hands on my shoulders. "We have been friends for a w-hile now and I only wan-ted to make somethin-g clear" He stopped and looked at he worried. "Bro's for Hoe's right?"

"Always" I said and clapped on his back "Anyways you won't even remember this conversation tomorrow"

"Of course I will" He said and looked behind me. "Shoots!" He yelled and left me alone.

I just stand there with the bottle of Vodka in my hands. On my left was a table with shoot glasses so filled one glass with the Vodka a drunk it. It teased horrible and I don't like Vodka anyways I'm more a beer fan. I just stand there for a while and thought about Peeta, I want him in my arms right now. It was now fifteen after eight, Peeta please don't do this to me.

"Hey" A blond tall girl stand before me. She was pretty but looked really slutty where is Marvel when you need him.

"Hey" I response I just want her to leave

"Are you alone here" She asked with a flirtatious voice.

"Actually I'm not but HE didn't show up yet. Bu he will come" Is said and emphasize the word he for let her know that she don't have a chance.

"She lets you wait what a whore" Is she stupid are just pretty drunk?

"No HE's not so please let me pass so I could get a drink for HIM" I said and got to the little bar in the house. I took to cups of beer and leaned against a wall with the door in my view to see Peeta coming.

"Come on big guy, You can have fun with me before she come's" This girl didn't get it.

"Listen I-" I cut of when she smashed her lips into mine. I tired to put her away but she fights against it. But somehow after a whole minute I made it to get her away.

"Bitch! You don't get it I'm gay!" I shouted at her.

"Okay fine why didn't you say that earlier you aggressive fag" She said and turned around and got to the next boy. I really want to strangle her.

I just stand there and looked around again to find Peeta. The only similar faces I found were Gale with Katniss on the couch and Marvel with this Clove girl. Wait a second Clove is here, that means Peeta must be here some were. I start to walk around and searched for a tiny, blond boy with a cute ass. Hopefully my tiny, blond boy with a cute ass. I didn't find him so wanted to start to made by way to Clove and ask her before I girl on the bar got my attention. She looked at me...pissed. Who is she? Then it hits me she must be a friend of Peeta's, yeah I saw her when I gave Peeta my number they were talking on a bank that day. When I made my way to her she shook her head slowly and an evil look and her face.

"Hey aren't you a friend of Peeta?" I asked her

"Yes I am" She said angry and nearly shouted

"Okay relax where is he?" I said. Why is she so upset with me, I didn't done anything to her,

"Relax?... Relax? And where he is? Don't act like you care about him!" She said. What the fuck is wrong with her.

"Okay, what the hell is your problem?"

"What's my problem is? You broke his heart!" She shouted but fortunately the music too loud for anyone else to hear it.

"Wait no I didn't God dammit I love him" Now I shouted.

"Did you believed that before or after you put your tongue into this girl's mouth huh?" She said. Fuck.

"Oh my god" I put my hands on my head. "Okay listen I didn't kiss her, I even told her that I'm waiting for a guy but she didn't care" My eyes get wet. Perfect now he hates me, I lost him forever.
"Please you have to trust me" I took a little pause and looked into her eyes. "Please"

"Tell me why I should believe you" Damn she was a good friend.

"Because I invited him to tell him that... I love him" I said very serious but also shy. "So please tell me where is he"

"He got out after he seen you with that girl" She said and looked to the ground. I start to move out of the house. When I got I nearly start to run after him even I couldn't see him but this girl grabbed my arm.

"Cato wait! I think he needs time now!" She said.

"But I have to tell him that I love him!" I said "I can't loose him right now"

"Give him space" She said.

"But he hates me now" I got myself on the ground and set there. This boy doesn't know which effect he has on me.

"No he does not!" The girl sat now next to me.

"Of course he does" I stopped "Did he cried?" I asked her but didn't look at her.

"I-I don't know" She said and for a moment we just sit there and did nothing. "Okay we make it like that" She started to talk again.

"You give me your number and I sent you a message when I talked to him okay?"

"Why you? Why not me?" I asked her a bit angry before she got up.

"Because I know him for his whole life" She said and looked down to me.

"You're Delly right?" I asked her.

"Yeah how did you?"

"He talked about you" I said and got up and took my phone out.

"That's my number" I gave her my phone and she saved it. "Don't forget it please"

"I don't, I mean I want him to be happy too" She said, smiled and gave me a wave before she left.

"Please bring him back to me" I said to myself. Now I have to wait and I will pray the whole night that he gives me a chance. But before that I have to bring Marvel home.

Peeta P.O.V

The water of the shower was pleasant warm. I have to look like a fool right now, sitting there on the ground of the shower in my wet clothes...crying. Just like in one of this typical and annoying teen movies where at the end everything is going perfect but my life isn't a teen movie. How stupid I must had been to really think that Cato Hadley the ultimate, tall, masculine and hot football player from High School actually had feelings for me or cared about me and even worse I can't help it but I love him now. Cato was always hot yes but in High School I never felt something for him...for my own security. I always thought there is no way that a guy like him will have feelings for me one day and I will die alone with some dogs or cats so I look out for not falling in love with someone. In High School a heart break from some guy would have killed me, a couple times I was near to do things to me...things who could end my life. NO Peeta NO! You're not going into this place again, yes the thing with Cato seems to be over but I'm now strong enough to handle it. I am a survivor, I'm not going to give up again and I will work harder.

I get up and turned the water of. Before I got out of the shower I undressed me completely and got out of the shower..naked. It was a bit cold but my closet was not far away from my bathroom. I picked just underwear and a shirt for sleep, I'm not going to do anything to today anymore. It's nearly nine and it was a stressful day so I'm tired. I got into my bed put the blanket over me and closed my eyes. Only a few seconds later someone knocks at my door. Please be Cato. No wait Please don't be Cato. I got up and open the door for the person who knocked. It was Delly and she looked sad but kind of nervous.

"Hey Delly what' up?" I asked her leaned against my door my arms crossed.

"Hey Pumpkin how are you?" She said cautious.

"Well... I'm fine" No I'm not.

"Really?" She asked and I know that the knows that I'm lying.

"No" I said softly and looked to the ground.

"Peeta can we have a quick talk?"

"Why Delly? I'm tired and I don't want to talk about tonight right now okay" I said to her and tried to close the door but she stopped it with her feet.

"Peeta please" I let her in I could do what I want she not goes to leave me alone now.

"Okay what's the matter?" I started when I got under my blanket again and Delly sat on my bed.

"I talked with Cato well actually he talked with me first" Delly said but didn't look at me.

I lead myself full down on my bed and got on my side with my face to the wall. "I don't want to talk about him"

"Well you have too because right now he made his way to us" Why Delly why?

I didn't move I just shoot my eyes. "Why are you doing this to me Delly?"

"Because you have to know some things about the...you know...kiss." Delly said.

"I don't want to know anything...I'm hurt Dell'" Still no move from my body.

"However he's coming now and I really want from you to listen to him. I'm not asking you to look at him just listen."

"Why I should?" I asked still not moving just lying there.

"Because he had wet eyes while he talked to me" She said and there was it this weird and uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. Just like when I saw kissing that girl but this time it was a good but still weird feeling. Delly just sat there on my bed and I laid and my bed since there was a knock at my door. I felt Delly moving and now I can hear her talking to someone.

"Hey he's in bed and he pretend's now to sleep but I think he's still awake. Just talk" Damn you Delly you know me too good sometimes.

"Okay thanks Delly for everything" Cato's voice. I shoot my eyes and breathed really slow to look my little sleeping act real. Cato sat on my bed and stroked my body on the blanket.

"Okay I'm just going to talk. Peeta I didn't kiss the girl she kissed me. I even said to her a couple times that I'm waiting for a guy but she didn't care and smashed her lips into mine. I know you're hating me right now and probably need time to move on but please trust me that it wasn't my choice. You don't have to come but I would like to take you tomorrow to a secret place of mine. If you want to come and give...US a chance please be there at seven pm tomorrow at the parking slots." There was a little pause before he said the words who got straight into my heart. "I love you Peeta." I felt him move near to me. Then he leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek just like in History, after that he got up turned my main light off and closed door. Now I was alone. He loves me...me Peeta Mellark and I... I love him too. I really wanted to spring out off bed and ran after him but I was too tired so I drifted away.

The next day was quite uneventful. I just thought about Cato and his secret place. It was now seven pm and I decided to gave him a chance so I currently made my way to the parking slots and there he was. He looks a bit panicked around but when he saws me his face relaxed. I made my way to him but didn't smile or talked to him.

"Hey" Cato said he was happy I can tell. Cute.

"Hi" I said softly. This was awkward.

"Are you ready?" He asked and pointed on his car. I nodded and got into his car. For an hour we didn't talk, I just sit there and looked on the streets through the window. When we got on a street who has grass on his sites and had like a fence with cow's on Cato's side and wood's on my side. I asked him.

"Where we going?"

"It's a secret" He asked and smiled at me. His smile made me smile. After another thirty minutes he stopped and got out. I did the same and closed the door behind me.

"Where are we?" I asked him.

He looked around and looked down to me "Okay you have to promise to not tell anyone about this place!"

"About woods and cows?"

"Come" He said and gave me his hand and I take it. We going straight into the woods since we got onto a broken fence Cato told me to slip under it so I did and he did too. We walked maybe two minutes...hand in hand as we arrived a lake. It was so peaceful here and the atmosphere was awesome. We just stand there and looked on the water.

"Wow" I was the first to say something.

"I like it here" Cato said. "It's a beautiful place"

"How long did you know that place?" I asked him

"My whole life but I never bring someone here" He said and took my hand again but I got out on threw my shirt away and took my pants off.

"What are you doing?" He said.

"Go swimming" I said smiled at him and jumped into the water. It was cold but it was an awesome feeling. "Do you just stand there or do you come in?" I asked Cato flirtatious.

He chuckled a bit and undressed him self until of his underwear and jumped in.

"Fuck! That's cold" He shouted

"Aww little Cato is cold" I said in an annoying tone.

"What was that?" He said, chuckled and made his way to me and tickles me underwater. I could feel his arms trying to wrap around me to pull me closer but I escaped. I give him a chance but not that easy. I got out of the water followed by Cato and now we just sit there on the shore. Soon I laid my head onto his legs and looked at him. We just sit there and looked at each other for a while. He strokes my check and went through my hair before I got up and looked directly at him.

"What did you want to say yesterday?" I knew the answer already.

"Um...well" He took a deep breath." I-I love you Peeta" He said and looked at me worried. I can't help it but I leaned over to him and kissed him. Gosh I missed his lips so much.

"I know" I said ans looked at him before I kissed his nose.

"I knew you were awake" He laughed and kissed me again.

"Peeta do you believe now that People can Change?" He asked.

"Yes" and that was my answer before we kissed again and start to make out. I'm finally happy.
