Author's Note: So sorry I was gone so long. School, hospital volunteering, and basketball have been holding me done. I also found this old project in my closet so I am now to determined to complete it. I've made so much progress over the past few days and I'm extremely proud of myself. I will be working on that quite a bit too. Alright, I'm getting off topic and I'm talking about my super dull life so here is chapter 5 of Glass Shards.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games or anything else recognized.

Chapter 5 - You Know You Have A Fucked Life When...

Clove POV

Oh for fuck's sake. What do these freaking people have against me? I guess I can't say I'm mad. I'm actually pretty flattered they want me to stay but the sooner I get away from Cato, the better. I don't want to even look at him. If my cousin Johanna was here, so would gladly 'get rid of' Cato for me. Jett would suspect Johanna but we agreed to always be each other's alibi. We always tried to get Jett in on the plan but stubborn Jett won't get involved. Speak of the devil, Jett starts carrying in something covered with a huge white sheet.

"Hey Clover. Remember this dinosaur?" he asked pulling the sheet away.

Underneath was an old karaoke machine. It was a machine that hooks up to an iPhone or iPod. I don't know what the hell Jett has planned or what his intentions are.

"So who's up for singing first?" he asked.

Everyone looked around. No one really wanted to sing first.

"Alright. No one? Okay. Clove is up first then," he said smiling.

Of. Fucking. Course. My brother picks me because I sing for a living. I stand up and walk to the machine. I grab the second microphone and toss it to Foxface. She comes up to the machine. I plug my phone in and go to YouTube. I select Still Into You by Paramore. I make sure to select the karaoke version.

Can't count the years on one hand
That we've been together
I need the other one to hold you
Make you feel, make you feel better

It's not a walk in the park
To love each other
But when our fingers interlock,
Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it
'Cause after all this time I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you (I'm into you)

Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you

Recount the night that
I first met your mother
And on the drive back to my house
I told you that, I told you that I loved ya

You felt the weight of the world
Fall off your shoulder
And to your favorite song
We sang along to the start of forever
And after all this time I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time I'm still into you

Some things just, some things just make sense
And one of those is you and I (Hey)
Some things just, some things just make sense
And even after all this time (Hey)

I'm into you, baby, not a day goes by
That I'm not into you

I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you (I'm into you)
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you (I'm into you)
Let 'em wonder how we got this far

'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time
I'm still into you
I'm still into you
I'm still into you

Fucking Cato was smiling. I shook my head at him. I went and sat down between Foxface and Isabelle. Cato jumped forward. He plugged his phone into the machine. He selected Want You Back by Cher Loyd. I ignored him the whole time he was singing. I pulled my phone out. I see a new message from my manager.

Hey Beautiful. I know your friends have convinced you to stay but I'm leaving this decision to you. I will try to switch studio times if you really want to stay, but if you want, let me know and come and we'll get our studio time. The thing is though, your world tour will stay on track but you'll have to wait after the tour to release that amazing song you wrote. That's right. I honestly considered your song and I want you to release it as your newest song. Love you Beautiful. Text me back as soon as possible.

I read over my manager's text another few times before looking up. Jett is dragging Isabelle in front of everyone.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," Isabelle kept repeating.

Jett started the song. It was Summer Loving. It was from Grease. All of us could get involved with this song. I smiled but my smile quickly faded.

I really need to figure out my plan.

If I'm heading back to work, I can get my song released but I will be leaving my friends and God only knows next time I'm going to see them. I know I'll be seeing my twin and Isabelle often, but everyone else, not so much.

If I stay, I'll see people I haven't seen in the longest time but I'll have to wait to release my new song and I've worked my butt off over these last nine years writing this song. I guess it will still be released no matter what, but I want it released before my tour.

My life is fucked up.

There we go. By the way, I'm going to stop pretending I'm an innocent little girl who doesn't swear. I swear so I might as well add some swearing into my chapters to help emphasize my points. Also, drama will be starting up soon and basketball games are also coming into my life. So now my updates might take a little longer. Sorry people. Let me know what you're all thinking. Please review, favorite and follow.
