Clove's pov
I sit on the couch in the living room, holding a cup of some sort of tea Haymitch gives me, I don't drink it but sit on the couch, my feet under me. I gaze into space, President Snow such an evil man, wearing a black suit finished by a white rose. Haymitch pauses and nodded his head towards me and I watch him, he still takes in all the words I say about how Snow has threaten Cato, the Everdeen's, Haymitch and Gale, but he goes outside of measures, he threatens Alena. Snow tells me that the people of panem have question his position of controlling and that because I had taken out the berries and both Cato and I were going to eat them, I have to convince the people of panem that it was out of love, and which it is. But Snow wants us to make everyone believe it, or convince them that life isn't worth living without the other. I cannot call him President Snow because it feels wrong, a president is supposed to look after the people and care for them, not threaten them and attempting to kill them, most president are called guardians of panem, but Snow is more of grim reaper, And he has to be stopped.
"I'll Do it" Haymitch says which I know he means he will tell Cato, I nod and look at the clock, its seven and Cato is late coming home. I shake the idea away and go into the kitchen, making the wrapping Prim's dress more elegant. Mrs Everdeen asked me not to get Prim that dress because she felt bad she wouldn't be able to pay me back, but I tell her it's a thank you present for welcoming me into her family. The lilac bow fits perfectly and is ready to be given to her, just like the cake Mr Mellark has made for her and the bright yellow bird that sings in its cage. I don't know why, but Prim always wanted a singing bird, she told me once or twice about her favourite song, called the valley song, which is popular in the district. The bird sings the tune of it, lucky Cinna knows where he's buying from. I smile weakly at it, thinking how to break the news to Cato that if we don't act more in love, were screwed. The front door is closed and I hear Cato telling Haymitch about the weather outside. I can hear Haymitch call him in, I sit in the kitchen listening to the bird sing and after twenty minutes he calls for me. I wash the cup and put it away before I leave the kitchen. I push the door forwards and see Cato standing in front of the open fire, arms crossed.
"Hey" I say softly and he turns around fast, he walks over to me fast and wraps his arms around me.
"I'm sorry President Snow attacked you like that" he says and I smile, he protective of me, and I'm grateful for it.
"Don't be, you couldn't do anything to him, you would have been helpful as the books that witness it. It's just Snow acting like a jackass, one in fear" I say which makes Cato pull away by Haymitch.
"What did you say" he asks in surprise
"I said Snow's a jackass" I say waiting for Haymitch to say something about my fowl mouth but he smiles, and it's surprisingly wicked.
"Don't you mean President Snow?" he says raising an eyebrow
"No, he isn't a president, he's a fraud. What type of man threatens two teenagers in love? He has to be stop" I say shaking my head, I feel an arm wrap around me and I lean against Cato's body.
"I'll kill him if I have to" Cato says and Haymitch smiles more frantically.
"I'll help" I say smiling up at him, he leans down to kiss me before were interrupted by Haymitch's words,
"Now that a pair of fighters"
Cato's' pov
Haymitch sits in the large arm chair across from us, while I and Clove sit on the couch, well Clove lays her upper body on me and lying on the rest of the couch. Were all watching capitol TV. They play re-runs of the hunger games. We're watching the 16th hunger games, a boy from district seven wins, he's small and has red hair. His name is Pablo, he wins by doing nothing, and I mean it. He hides up in trees and eats plants and drinks water, as the games are over Haymitch informs us that Pablo was the first ever person to go mental unstable after the games, he tried to forget about them but that caused him to remember more, he eventually hung himself. I can feel Clove shiver when Haymitch finishes, so I automatically wrap my arms around her small body.
"How do you know this?" I ask him and he gazes away from us and then returns
"My father told me, his father told him and so on so on" he says quietly
"Why didn't you get married Haymitch?" Clove says tiredly
"Because I didn't want my kids going into the games" he says before getting off his chair and leaving us. Clove sits up and frowns
"I made him sad" she said looking at her hands
"He'll get over it, now c'mon. We're going to bed" I say picking her up just like I did when she was dying in the arena, carrying her up the stairs into her room. I place her on the bed, taking off her shoes and then socks, putting the cover above her. I walk towards the door before she makes sounds,
"You not staying tonight?" she says sadly, I weakly smile and kneel in front of her
"I'll stay" I say walking to the other side of the bed, kicking off my shoes and socks, and pulling off my t-shirt. I slid into the bed when Clove turns to me, smiling.
"I forgot to tell you something" she says keeping her eyes closed.
"What?" I say creasing her cheek. She yawns loudly before smiling again.
"I forgot to tell you I love you" she says kissing me softly on the lips before she goes into a deep sleep.
