chapter 5
cato's pov
annie, annie will know and shes the only one who will give me the info. well other then jackie. but who knows where she went. i walk down stairs successfully avoiding people. in my search for annie i bump into someone."sorry" i mutter."its all good" peeta replies. i sigh i really dont want to talk to him. i dont know why but him being as close to clove as he is makes me mad. thats it! "do you know who brutus is?" i ask peeta. he nods."we arnt..." i cut him off" i know clove doesnt like people talking about him but why?" i ask him. he walks away and i follow eventually we make it outside. "she doesnt like speaking about him cause...cause shes afraid of him." he finally says. "why?" i ask my curiosity getting the better of me again. "well they hyave history" peeta allows. "explain" i demand from him."why do you care?" he counters. "who says i do? now spill" i sat not wanting just how much i care when people hurt clove to show because i myself cant explain why i care. "fine" he huffs" hes her ex boyfriend" he says he goes to continue but i cut him off."is she afraid of all her ex boyfriends?" i ask. "no"he nearly laughs."besides her only other ex boyfriend is marvel and well they are still good friends" i am flabergasted. "her and marvel?!" i exlaim causeing him to laugh."well they kissed for truth or dare and well they dated for like a week then found it too creepy and went back to being friends" he explains. "anyways back on subject whats with her and brutus?" i ask. "well he's not the nicest brute in the bunch. when she wouldnt sleep with him he broke her arm...snapped it like a twig. she tried to break up with him but he wouldnt take that . a few weeks later she tried to break up with him again and he nearly strangled her to death. annie called the cops and he was in and out of rehab, phyciatric hospitals and therapy for 2 years . they claim hes safe now but clove's just waiting for the bomb to explode" peeta finishes and i relise my mouth is hanging open. theres a burning desire to find this brutus and punch him a good one in the nose brueing in my stomach ." that jerk!" i nearly scream. peeta shrugs. "we dont talk about it it makes clove feel weak and well weak isnt how clove rolls. that was the year before she started going to the accademy. she can protect herself better now" he says pausing."but brutus can fight better too..." he says his voice trailing off. i nod understanding. when ive been trained...i will take brutus down.
