THANK YOU! I have got a lot of view on my story so I really mean that thank you! I might not be posting that much because I have school and blah blah… but when I get the chance I will – Brooke

What I did was stupid. I just got jealous. I never thought I would actually like Clove but she attracts me in so many ways. I never really liked her friend, I liked Clove all along, it just took a while to realise it. Seeing Clove with Marvel like that made me so angry. I watched them for at least a minute hoping Clove would pull away and come and find me but she didn't, she stayed snogging with Marvel! I was so irate; I was thinking that that should be ME with Clove, not him. I've known her longer, I've liked her longer AND I am the one who deserves Clove. NOT HIM! So in that split-second moment, I tackled him to the ground. Clove was trying to get me off, but I wouldn't move until he said that he would leave Clove alone. I punched him with all my strength and he started bleeding. Serves him right for stealing Clove. Why would Clove like him anyway? I mean he looks a lot like me, but Clove hates me. Then a bit later Glimmer comes, but I swore I wouldn't budge. Obviously, someone heard and a whole gang of people came and tried to shift me. I knew I was outnumbered, but before I surrendered, I whispered into to Marvels ear for him to say away from Clove. Thresh, Peeta, Drake and Swish were calming me down while Clove, Glimmer and Katniss took Marvel to first aid. WHY WASN'T CLOVE STICKING WITH ME?

When I got back I waited anxiously for Clove. I practised what I was going to say.

"Clove, I thought Marvel was attacking you so I tackled him. I honestly thought he was and I didn't hear you screaming since I had blood in my ear where Marvel had tried to punch me. Please forgive me; I didn't intend for Marvel to get hurt, I just wanted him to stop attacking you. Well he wasn't attacking, he was kissing, but you know what I mean. Sooooo… Forgive and forget?"

I planned it out perfectly. Yes, I know it was a huge lie, but I didn't want Clove to be ignoring me. That's when she came in, I was about to say my speech and that's when she lashed out at me. She asked why I had ruined her happiness. That moment I just decided I shouldn't lie to my true love and said back as calmly as possible that I was jealous. She looked completely bewildered. She asked me very rudely why I was jealous. I just lost it and admitted my biggest secret…that I love her.

After the confession, I stormed back to my room leaving Clove standing there. I shouldn't have done that. Now she knew my weakness. DAMN. I am losing my street cred. I turn on my TV to watch this capitol soap opera. It wasn't bad actually; I even got a bit teary at times. That was when someone knocked at my door.

"Come in!" I said wondering who it could be. Clove. She was wearing a white night dress and her hair was tied back. She looked beautiful.

"Well don't just stare at me!" She said smirking.

"I wasn't!" I replied embarrassed.

"You were!" She commented.

"Okay, let's change the subject! Why are you here?" I asked.

"To apologise to you and to say I love you." She said blushing.

"Oh well…good!" I said back.

"That's all?" she asked, eyebrows rose.

"What do you want me to say?" I asked.

"Oh nothing really…" she replied looking disappointed.

"Come here!" I said to her. She obediently came over and sat down beside me.

"Now please don't punch me!"

"I won't!" Clove replies. I kiss her softly and this time instead of punching me she places her hands around me next and kisses me back. I wrap my hands around her waist. She is so weightless and she is so beautiful. I don't want this moment to end. Why did the Hunger Games have to split us up? I knew what I was going to do. There was only going to be one winner from District 2… and that will be Clove! I swore to myself that I would do anything to protect her, even sacrifice myself so that she could live. Hopefully this will work. Because Hope is stronger than fear!
