Hey so here's the ninth chapter, I apologise ahead for all errors grammatically and also any spelling errors. I'm not really a writer. It hasn't been beta-ed all errors are my own. I of course don't own any part of the hunger games that's all Suzanne Collins. If I had it would have been a hell of a lot different.
Warning: boy on boy, kinky smut, drinking, possible drug use, alittle violence, swearing, OCC-ness and all those bad things.
New Chapter YAY! So I re-wrote this chapter like 8 times I ended up with two versions and in the end this one won out. :/ so I hope you like it. It got kinda dark and sad but I promise things will get better... maybe. I'm one of those people who love to have music playing while they read/write and I kind of had a playlist playing which could have totally influenced it. So I thought I might share it wish you now and again, since I drew the emotions from these songs. Beyonce- Heaven. Robot Kosh- Nitesky. Elle Goulding- I know You Care. Of Monsters And Men- Silhouettes. Metric- Gold Guns Girls (Acoustic). Ashley Roberts- Yesterday. So I dunno maybe listen to them while reading? :)
MangoMagic17- haha lucky for you I finished another chapter and I know I love Cato's mum she's just so perfect.
Conspiration-ult- sorry to disappoint I will have some kink hopefully within the next two chapters. And I feel bad for what does happen to Peeta. Bahaha I know Glimmer really is an evil creature. And don't worry I'm kinda sleeping haha well not at night that much, I'm such a night owl I just have snuggles and a nap in the afternoon. And yes the shower thing happened to me with a really good friend who I consider a sister. :) she came back ten minutes later with a bucket of ice water and threw it on us as revenge. :D

He Took My Heart
Chapter Nine
"Cato, stop." As I pull my top on I start to lose my balance again. Wow was I still drunk? I quickly follow him but as I get to the stair my head starts to spin and I feel myself fall and then nothing it's just black.
I'm running after Cato, forever yelling his name, I can't seem to find him. But I can hear him. 'Why Peeta why? I loved you. Gave you all of me.' It just keeps repeating and trip over on my face. Its all black everything. I crawl into a ball crying hysterically. I don't know how long I'm there crying in the darkness, I just want it to stop.
Slowly I feel myself walking up to a odd beeping. I slowly open my eyes I find it hard to adjust my eyes to all the white. I blink a few times. Was I in hospital? Shit I was, what happened to me? I groan slightly in pain, my body ached everywhere.
"Peeta? Oh thank god you are awake!" I turn to see Delly looking a little worse for wear, her eyes blood shot from crying and she looked like she hadn't slept in days.
"Hey," I say my voice hoarse and croaky.
"I'll get you some water and the doctor okay. I'll be back in a second." she rushes out the room leaving me as confused as ever.
A few minutes later she returns with a glass of water. "The doctor will be here soon he is just finishing up on another patient." She puts the cup to my mouth and I take a large mouthful, the water soothing my sore throat.
Then an older man walks in, who I assumed had to be the doctor. "Hello Peeta, I'm Dr. Emmerswan. How are you feeling?"
"Like I got hit by a car." I groan.
"Okay I'll get something for the pain. Do you remember what happened to you?" He asks while writing something down on my file.
"Um, no not really. I remember being at the party, going to the toilet, then um someone gave me a drink and then everything is hazy and black."
"Okay well you have been unconscious for the last three days. And from the tests we did when you arrived I can tell you that you were drugged. Nothing serious now, just a small amount of GHB was found in your system. It has exited your system now but while under the influence you fell down a flight of stairs. Now you sustained no major injuries you did fracture your left arm, that why it's in a cast. And you banged you head a good few times." I just sat there in shock. Who would drug me? He continued, "Now My Mellark I don't want to be rude or intrusive but I have to ask due to the nature of your situation."
"Okay," I really wasn't liking where this way going and Delly grabbing my hand quickly made me worry even more.
"Alright, have you been involved with more then one sexual partner within the last forty-eight hours before blacking out?"
"What? No just, just, don't say it please don't tell me I, I was," I trail off and start to hyper ventilate.
Delly speaks up, "He has a boyfriend Cato, that's all he would have willingly slept with."
"Okay, well then when you came in the attending nurse did have some concerns and she did a rape kit on you. I'm sorry but it would appear while drugged you have been taken advantage of. The test came back with two sets of DNA. One being your boyfriends and the other by an unknown individual. We didn't find any evidence though that you have been penetrated during the incident."
I couldn't take it anymore I burst out crying. I had been, I couldn't even think it. I just needed Cato, all I wanted was Cato.
"Again I'm sorry, I'll get the nurse to get you something for the pain. And I'm afraid I will have to notify the police that you are awake because they will have a few questions." With that he left the room and I turn to Delly.
"Oh Peet I'm so sorry so so so sorry I shouldn't have left you alone. I should have looked for you after you disappeared."
"It's not your fault, it's not, okay? Where's Cato?" I sniffle trying to stop my crying.
"He's um, he's with Clove. He has come by accouple times. I can call Clove and see if he can come."
"Please I need him right now." I turn to my side facing away from the window.
As Delly leaves I here her bump into the nurse. "Oh Mrs Everdeen sorry."
"It's fine Delly," She walks round to me. "Peeta dear I'm here to give you something to stop the pain you may be experiencing."
"Okay sure." I sit up and watch her put a needle into my arm. And I slowly feel it spread around my body.
The rest of the day is a blur. Whatever they gave me for the pain really made things foggy. The police came and asked me multiple questions, most of which I couldn't even answer. Delly never left my side and my dad rang to let me know he would be back tomorrow after the morning rush to come sign me out. Cato didn't come and I couldn't help but feel like he had abandoned me, like he knew I was dirty now and couldn't be with me anymore. I skipped my dinner instead going to sleep instead.
I awaken to someone holding my hand, kissing my forehead and whispering something over and over. "I'm sorry babe, so sorry."
"Cato?" I ask opening my eyes.
"Peeta, shit you are awake, are you okay? Did you need anything? The doctor? I should have been here all day. I'm sorry I shouldn't have left you." He starts kissing me over and over. And for a second I forget what happened to me and I smile, but then I shift and feel pain shooting up my body.
"Cato what happened?" I ask sadly.
"Peet you need to understand I wasn't thinking. I couldn't find you and Glimmer told me where you were and when I saw you half naked in bed with that guy I just got so angry. I should have listened to you. I know you would never cheat on me but you are so perfect and I so don't deserve you so my insecurities just surfaced and I couldn't face you. I left and apparently you came after me and fell down the stairs.
"Do you know who was in my bed with me?" I ask scared of the answer.
"Yes. Glimmers cousin. I told the police already." he replies looking down in guilt.
"What Glimmer did this to me? She drugged me?" I yell in outrage.
"I guess, I'm so sorry. I'm never letting you out of my sight again." He starts kissing my hand over and over.
"Cato why weren't you here all day?"
"I felt so guilty and stupid and I couldn't face seeing you in here but Clove convinced me to come. And then I had to go down to the police station for more questions and a statement about what happened. Then they cleared me of anything to do with your um." He trails off.
"Assault, you can say it, it's what it was." I say calmly.
"Your assault because you had my DNA all over you. Did the doctors say what he exactly did to you?"
"Not really just that there wasn't any evidence that he actually raped me. Cato after I woke up I, I'm, I thought you didn't want me anymore." I try my best to stay calm and not cry.
"Peeta, never think that, I'm not going anywhere." He replies with a loving smile on his face.
"Cato?" I ask my voice still sounding horrible.
"Yes babe?" He strokes my check.
"Can you stay with my tonight?"
He smiles, "Of course I will."
"Good." I smile at him shifting in the bed to make room form him. As he lays next to me I lay half on top of him, my head on his chest tucked under his chin. "Cato what I'm about to say will probably sound stupid but I need to say it."
"Peeta I love you, just say it."
"Okay I, I don't want you here if you are staying out of guilt or sympathy but because you love me and want to be with me."
He hold around my tightens. "Peet I am here because I love you and that's it. We are going to be fine. Everything will be okay."
"As long as I have you I think it will be." I say as I snuggle my face into his chest feeling safe. I close my eyes and his steady heartbeat reminds me he is here, I'm in his arms and I'm safe.
I wake up the next morning feeling a lot more stable emotionally and my mind feeling less foggy. I snuggle into Cato more never wanting to move again. Cato is snoring lightly and while I lay there I try to think positively, it could have been worse I tell myself. And as I try to work out how best to let go of my inner turmoil there is a knock at the door. I look over to see Chloe walk in with a bag of Cato's stuff in hand.
"Oh Peeta honey, how are you feeling?" Her voice sounding truly concerned.
I smile at her, "I'm doing better. Cato being here has helped a lot."
"Good." She looks at Cato sleeping then turns back to me. "I want you to know that no matter what happens between the two of you, you can always come to me for anything okay? I, well I went through a similar situation when I was in college. Cato doesn't know but I just want you to understand you aren't alone." She grabs my hand looking at me with a caring expression.
I was truly touched by her honestly and willingness to help me. I start to tear up, "Thank you."
"It's okay honey."
I feel Cato start to move and then his eyes flutter open. "Mum what are you doing here?"
"Visiting my two favourite boys. I brought you some clothes. And I talked to your dad and explained why you can't make it to dinner with him tonight."
I feel Cato tense up. "Did you tell him everything?" He asked nervously.
"Cato, I know you aren't ready to tell him yet so no I didn't but he doesn't really understand at the moment because he doesn't have the full story, you going to have to tell him soon." She grabs his hand and squeezes it.
"No mum I can't dad will hate me, and things are already so screwed up I mean Peeta was drugged and practically raped and it's my fault."
"Cato," Chloe and I say at the same time. She looks at me and continues, "It's not your fault alright. Don't you dare think that. We both love you and that's what matters. And your dad will understand okay you can't help who you are. Okay well I have to get to work, I'll be back tonight and I'll bring something to eat."
"Oh I think I'm being released today." I quickly say before she leaves.
"Oh well you are more then welcome to stay at our house if you want but I'm sure your parents will want you home." She kisses us both on the forehead and leaves.
"Seriously I love your mum." I mumble returning to Cato's chest.
"Yeah me to. So tonight what did you want me to,"
I but in before he can finish, "Stay with me."
He chuckles. "Okay sure we can stay at yours." He wraps his arms around me and I slowly fall back asleep. A few hours later the doctor returned to do his final checks and cleared me so I would be able to leave once my dad came and signed me out.
Not an hour later he showed up. "Peeta, son how are you?" He asks before turning to Cato. "Cato good to see you."
"I'm good dad, I just want to get out of here and go home." I reply as I hug him.
"Well I'll go finish signing you out and we can go." He turns round and heads out the door.
"Okay let's get you in some real clothes then." Cato says getting up and pulling clothes out of his bag. "You can borrow some of mine."
I smile at him liking the idea if wearing his clothes. I put on the sweat shorts and hoodie with his help. I immediately love wearing them because they smelled like Cato. I look down at the clothes they were way to big for me. "Lucky theses shorts had a draw string to do up because your clothes are huge on me."
Cato laughs, "You look cute in my clothes." He packs the bag up and as I put my shoes on my dad returns.
"Okay we can get you out of here." He says happily. "I need to place a few orders and pick up a few things so I'll see you at home Peeta. I assume you will be staying as well Cato?"
"Of course." I say grabbing Cato's hand.
"If it's alright?" He looks to my dad.
"I have no problem with it." I hug dad before we spilt up going to separate parts of the car park. We get into Cato's car and drive in silence. One of his hands holding mine.
We arrive home and we walk through the front door of the bakery, my mother and Ryden behind the counter. "Peet, you're out! How are you?" Ry jumps over the counter and hugs me.
"Oww," I laugh as I hug him back. "I'm good just a little sore."
"Sorry I got excited seeing you up and okay." He grins.
"We are going to go lay down for a bit." I tell him.
"Cato staying tonight?" Ry asks. "I'm making dinner tonight."
Before I can answer though my mother yells across the room, "He most certainly is not."
"Mum I need him right," I try to explain but she just cuts me off.
"No listen here boy I have put up with enough of this rubbish and I thought that after what happened to you might wake up and stop this disgusting behaviour!"
"Mother!" Ry pipes up.
"Ryden shut up. Peeta he is not to ever stay under my room again."
After everything that had happened over the past week I start to break down clutching Cato arm for support. Cato turns to Ryden, "Ry can you pack some things for Peeta. We will wait in the car."
"Sure Cato." Ryden gives our mother a nasty look before heading to the back and up the stairs.
I was so surprised at how well Cato seemed to be keeping his anger in check and dealing with my mother right now. He pulls me under his arm and we turn to leave.
Then my mother starts to yell again, "You are no son of mine and you got what you deserved."
I feel so broken and lost then suddenly I feel Cato let go of me and turn. I try to grab him but he was to fast. "You listen to me you pathetic excuse for a mother ever talk to Peeta like that again and I will kill you so fast you won't get time to scream and don't doubt I wouldn't do it bitch." He yells at her. He turns back to me and I can't believe how white my mother had gone. She looked petrified. Cato puts his arm back around me and we head back to his car.
Ryden appears a few minutes later with my duffle bag full of my things. "Peet I'm sorry she's,"
"Ry don't apologise for her, we all knew this day would come. Tell dad I'm sorry but I can't stay here right now." I give him a hug.
"I will. Cato take care of him." He smiles sadly turning to Cato.
"You know I will." Cato replies. We start driving and Cato hands me his phone. "Can you ring my mum and let her know we are coming home and staying there."
"Sure." I say finding her number and pressing call.
It rings a few time before she picks up. "What's up honey? You staying at Peeta's tonight?" she asks.
"It's actually Peeta, Cato's driving right now."
"Oh honey is everything okay?" she sounds suddenly concerned.
"Um well, we, I had some issues at home with my mother so Cato wanted me to tell you that we would be home for dinner after all. And I just wanted to make sure it was still okay for me to stay over, probably for a few nights."
"Oh Peeta of course. I'll bring home some Chinese. Do you have a favourite dish?"
"Satay, but anythings fine really." I reply.
"Okay well I'll see you tonight honey."
"Yeah, bye and thank you." I hang up and hand the phone back to Cato.
"She all good?" Cato asks.
"Yes, but are you?" I was kind of scared at how angry he had gotten.
"I will be, I just snapped. I'm sorry if I scared you I just, she deserved it."
"Thank you." I say leaning over and kissing his cheek.
"For what?" he asks confused.
"For loving me." I start to break down again.
"Peeta don't cry, you deserve to be loved." He pulls my hand up to his face and kisses it.
I try to stop myself crying, "Okay." I reply knowing full well I sounded like I didn't believe him. But I knew deep down I was loved, Cato loved me and with him by my side I would be alright.
