Clove's POV
I can't believe that just happened. I honestly don't want to believe what I just saw.
Was that really Cato and Glimmer? Were they an item? How could I have not seen this coming? How could I have been so stupid. So naive.
All I want to do is crawl into a hole so that no one would be able to see me.
I didn't even know Glimmer lived in this town. Had I known, I would've thrown a fit at moving here. Why does she always seem to ruin everything I have?
I quickly made my way to the front yard, dialing the number I knew by heart.
"Maddie, can you pick me up? I'm at Finnick's house. Yeah that's the one. I'm fine, Maddie. Can you just come here quickly? It's getting cold. You do know it's winter right? Yeah, yeah I'll wait patiently like a good little girl. Love you. Bye."
Maddie arrived at 10 minutes later. Luckily no one seemed to have noticed I left early. Not even Cato. Stop it, Clove. He doesn't like you that way. He has Glimmer after all.
Maddie tries talking to me but I pay no attention to her. After 5 minutes of pestering me, she finally gives up. When we got home, I got out of the car, said a quick thanks to Maddie for picking me up and went straight to my room.
I slammed my door shut, hoping everything that happened outside wasn't real. I know deep down that it was but I just wanted to forget everything.
As I was slouched on the floor, I saw my guitar peeking out from underneath my bed. I decided to pick it up and played it.
I thought
We were unstoppable, yeah
I felt
It's undeniable that
Anyone
Could see I was so in love with you, yeah
I thought we'd always be happy, happy
I thought you'd always be good for me
Guess I was wrong
Guess you'll always be my happy, happy, happy never after
Happy never after
(yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Maybe
You're not good for me
But baby
No, oh I don't need ya
Now I see
So clearly
It's time to let you go oh yeah
I thought we'd always be happy, happy
I thought you'd always be good for me
Guess I was wrong
Guess you'll always be my happy, happy, happy never after
Da da do da da da do [x3]
Oh, oh happy (happy)
I thought we'd always be happy, happy
I thought you'd always be good for me
Guess I was wrong
Guess you'll always be my happy, happy, happy never after
I thought we'd always be happy, happy
I thought you'd always be good for me
Guess I was wrong
Guess you'll always be my happy, happy, happy never after
Happy, happy, happy never after oh oh
Happy, happy, happy never after [x3]
Happy never after
After singing my heart out, I felt a little bit better. Did I mention I just wrote an entire song? Yeah, that's how bad this is. I wrote the lyrics down so that if I ever felt the need to sing it again, I could. I put the guitar back in its case and placed it under the bed before getting dressed and passing out on the bed. That night, I had the worst dream ever. This consisted of mainly Cato and Glimmer wrapped around each other as if their life depended on it.
The Monday following that incident, I really didn't want to go to school. I was really tempted to call in sick. However, being the good student that I am, no matter how many problems I have to face, I get up anyway and get ready for school. I can't be absent just because I was afraid of facing Cato. Needless to say, I was not looking forward to this day.
I got up, got ready and headed went to school as per usual. Once I got there, I was relieved. The school was still as noisy as could be but it wasn't the same kind of noise you'd hear on a daily basis.
How could I forget? The whole reason they had a party in the first place was sort of a send off as they were going on tour again. That means I won't have to see him til January! Oh I could just die of ecstasy!
I still had to face the girls though. They were probably aware I left the party early. This is still going to be a long day.
The girls, although tried as they might to question me, didn't get me to budge. After the first few attempts that led to failure, they gave up. I could, however, tell that they were far from done. They'll probably just wait for a time of vulnerability.
I left school right after the last bell rang. I didn't go straight home though. I needed to get away for awhile. Maybe a stroll in the park or at the mall just to clear my head a little. If I stayed at home, I would most likely end up throwing stuff in my room and potentially breaking them. At least at the park, there would be other people and I wouldn't have to be left on my own. I also have the benefit of getting a bit of fresh air for a while.
Once I got there, there weren't that many people. That was to be expected though. Who in their right mind would go to the park at winter when it's freezing cold out and there aren't any animals to feed or play with? Apparently someone like me who is practically asking for a death wish.
I decided to jog a little, just to warm myself up. I was so immersed in the song that I was listening to that I didn't realize there was another person coming from the other direction. We bumped into each other, the impact making us both fall.
"Oww. Oh I'm so sorry!" the person whom I've crashed into said.
"It's alright. I'm sorry t-" I said, my sentence cut short by what I see to be the most beautiful eyes I've ever laid my eyes on. The same eyes I've been dreaming of these past few months. The deep blue color that reminds me of the clearest sea. The eyes that make me weak and vulnerable. The eyes that I refused to look at because of all the emotions it leads to. The eyes of none other than Cato Morgan.
AN: Personally, I don't really like this chapter. I don't know. I guess I've been running short on ideas. I mean, I still have some but I'm not sure how to get there yet. You could say this is more of a filler chapter. Good news is, classes have been suspended for the day due to "inclement weather" (I live in a tropical country and it's the rainy season) so I have time to write a bit more but I still have to edit it so I might not be able to post it until a much later time. I also still have loads of homework to work on since it's the last few weeks of the term (final push!). I will try to write more but I can't promise anything. Hopefully I'll be on break for the first week of September so I might be able to publish regularly by that time but that's the all! The second week, I have to go back to school (since it's trimestral, I only get a week off. boohoo).
Thank you again for the reviews. Please keep them coming! I need inspiration (and quite frankly, ideas)! :))
