Response to reviews: (I got so many too, thank you all SO much! They each mean the world to me!)

baileymarie: Oh my gosh thank you so much! That means so much to me!

elizalar: I hope you enjoy!

Megan Justine: I was really looking forward to talk about her feelings for the both of them, so I'm glad you liked reading it!

Christinaaa (Guest): Haha, I'm glad I confused you, adds more suspense.

fanglunawolf: Don't feel guilty for not shipping a pair! I really hope you like this chapter.

HealthyHungerGamesObession101: Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, I love reading them! It definitely made me think more about my characters! Keep up the amazing reviewing, because each word you type makes me smile!

iluviggyhesthebest: I can't make Katniss choose anyone, she has her own mind, haha.

Annabeth-TheTributeThatLived: No offense, but I definitely DO NOT ship Clato, haha. I hope you learn to love Catoniss! But Karvel is a pretty awesome ship.

PiratePrincess16: I can't believe you actually re-read it! That means so much to me, and did you notice that I made a few changes to the first few chapters? I'm actually going back and fixing the whole story, changing it to present tense and changing some facts around to make more sense... Anyways, I'm so glad you love this story enough to read it for a second time!

Ripple237: Or is it Cato? Maybe you want to rethink that, but then again, maybe not... But smart thinking about my username and everything, though your thoughts could prove you wrong. Or you could be absolutely right, we'll have to wait and find out. I'm feeling very mysterious today, so let's just wait and see who she ends up choosing. Hehehe.

timeflies24536: I'm sorry my update wasn't very quick, but I've been busy. Enjoy though!

darkviolet88: Or do you know who she chooses? That tis the question...

Fangirl crazi407: I already have a whole thing planned out for whomever she chooses in the end, got it all logged in my phone for how it's going to work! I hope you like it.

Tkearns: Oh... well I'm sorry to hear that. I love him, and Marvel, and Finnick... As you could probably tell from the story, haha. I hope you at least like the story!


I really have always known who I was going to choose. Thinking back to these past few months, I think the choice has always been obvious to me. He's always been the one, I was just blinded with the other men to really see it. He's been my everything since he first stepped out of that limo and made me laugh that first night.

Now the hard part comes though, because even with the relief and confidence of knowing who I'm bound to be with forever, there is the heartache of sending the other home. I have a strong bond with both of them, and I do love them each. It's just I love him more than I could ever love another; my love for him will always come out on top. So here's the heartbreaking factor of this hellish yet heavenly show; I have to break one's heart.

I have to go to his suite and let him down, telling him that he isn't the one. That I love the other more, that he has stolen my heart and not you. I already have the entire speech planned out in my head, but it's still crap. How do you tell someone who loves you that you choose someone else?

I'm already at his door; time flies when you're deep in thought. I hesitate where I stand, my arm feels like it weighs one thousand pounds and I can't lift it to knock on the wooden door. I don't want to. I don't want to break his heart. He's too much of a great guy, an amazing guy that I'm letting go. Strangely, nothing has felt more right in my life, and nothing has been this hard in my life. As hard as this will be, I know that my one and only will make me feel like the best thing that's ever happened to him; the best thing that ever happened in general, for the rest of our lives. He will always make me feel beautiful, perfect, like I don't have a single flaw that he won't love.

I also know that the other will find someone. He will find someone who will return his love with all their heart. I know it.

With that thought I take a deep breath and lift my arm. My tight knuckles hit the the door, making the only noise I can hear aside from the nervous ringing of my ears. My fist hits the cold wood with a loud thud that no doubt echoes throughout the lonely suite that I'm about to make even lonelier.

With only three knocks, the door opens to reveal his smiling face that I'm soon to break. I take a deep breath and step inside.

Cato POV

Could this be anymore stressful? I'm sitting on my couch with a dress shirt and khakis, my elbows on my knees with my head in my hands. That moment of doubt just passed through me like I'm sure it passed through Marvel as well. The dreaded string of questions just went through my head, torturing me to no end.

What if she doesn't choose me? What if she doesn't love me? What will I do without her? Can I live without her? What if she chooses Marvel? What if...

Each and every one of these questions are drowning me in a sea of loneliness and heartache, even just the one of her not loving me easily brought me to tears. Because I love her more than life, and if she doesn't return my affections, not even in the slightest... I don't know what I would do.

I shake my head and stand up, stretching out while I do so. I need to get these thoughts out of my head, I know she loves me. I know she does, everything she says and does around me shows me that much. I walk over to the window and look out at the Gulf in front of me. It's a gorgeous day; also the day I will be picking my Katniss' engagement ring and hopefully proposing to her and all her beauty.

The ring, obviously, has to be perfect. Knowing Katniss she won't want much anything too to extravagant. At the same time, she will want something more than a regular old cheap ring, something in the the middle. A ring from the heart, not just the prettiest or the most expensive. No, I seriously need to put a lot of though into it. I only hope the ring seller dude will have what I'm looking for.

Speaking of him, he should be here in about an hour. I already have what I want the ring to look like in my head, but I highly, highly, doubt he will have it. I drew it down a few nights ago, when I awoke in the middle of the night with the image of it so clear in my head. I hold the drawing in my hands now, smiling down at it like a fool.

My ideal ring, what I hope will be Katniss's ideal ring, is a simple diamond ring with a realistic wooden design on it. I even want it to feel like a piece of wood, but the main piece on top would be a gray and blue diamond. It may be very cheesy, but it's our eye colors. She's always loved the softness and iciness of my eyes, and I've always loved how unique her eyes are. So it will be perfect, if only I could find one like it.

I make my way back to the couch and sit down, a cup of whiskey in hand. Just a little, not nearly enough to get me drunk or even a little buzz.

Maybe this ring guy will take requests and make me the perfect ring within the next few hours. After all the proposal is tonight, only five hours away. Five hours until she gives me an answer, until she makes me either the happiest man alive or the most unfortunate man alive. Unfortunate only because I would have let a perfect girl go, just like that. The happiest because she would make all my dreams come true, considering my dreams consist of her and her only.

My thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door, confusing me. The ring guy isn't scheduled for another thirty minutes... I stand up and fix my shirt a little, it's a tad bit tight on me, the fabric around the buttons slightly taut. I just sort of threw it on, a random shirt in my suitcase, of course I'll be changing before tonight. Tonight I will be wearing a suit, the exact same suit I wore when we met that first night. Only this time, I plan on wearing the shirt along with it.

I walk to the front and open the door and to my utmost surprise I see-


I'm so mean.

Another cliff hanger to keep y'all interested! But please don't kill me, I just love keeping y'all on edge and I didn't want to have the proposal chapter just yet. Like I keep saying, the obvious answer is not always the correct answer, yet sometimes it is.

Next chapter I think may be when she chooses either Marvel or Cato, if not it will definitely be the chapter after! I promise you that, and also there will be more chapters after the proposal!

Please follow, favorite, and leave a review!

Each and every one makes me smile, even the constructive criticism because it means y'all took the time to help me become a better writer! Thank you all so much and stay tuned for the next chapter!

It should be up sometime this week or next weekend.
