A/N: Here is chapter six finally! I know this took a long time, it's just that I have a ton of schoolwork to do (due to being in IB program) and I didn't have my computer to type this while I was on vacation, so I'm finally posting this chapter now.
This chapter is mainly a filler chapter because my friend (and part beta) said that she wanted more of a certain character. So the main idea of this chapter is Cato is receiving mysterious love letters and throughout the chapter they're trying to figure out who is writing them… but the ending is unexpected and I don't want to give away too much…
Also, I inserted a Degrassi quote in this chapter somewhere and if you can find it and name the character, virtual cookies for you!

Enjoy!
Clove's POV~
When I wake up the next morning, Cato is still asleep. That's when I notice a note addressed to him. I unfold it and it says~
Dear Cato,
I have loved you ever since we met. Your eyes are as blue as the beautiful ocean from district 4 and I love your shiny blonde hair. You have hot abs and I love you.
Xoxo,
Anonymous
Wait district 4? Does that mean that Aqua likes Cato? But she never showed interest in any guy… The ab part could mean Glimmer because she hit on him when we first met and she complimented his hot abs.
That's it. I'm having a Career meeting on the roof.
I write a note to Cato~
Went to the roof for a Career meeting (yes in my pajamas). You can come if you want to.
Xoxo, Clove
I kiss it, take Cato's note, and walk to the elevator. If I can't sleep and Cato's getting mysterious love letters, nobody else is allowed to sleep either.
The elevator door opens and I walk inside. I press the number 1 and it takes me to Glimmer and Marvel's floor. When the door opens, it looks like nobody lives there. Good, they're sleeping. I walk out and notice a glittery pink door. I open it and let myself in.
I take one look inside and see Glimmer and Marvel sleeping together. They bother me so much… I take the blanket off them and they startle awake.
"Clove! What are you doing here at seven in the morning?" Glimmer exclaims.
"Well good morning to you too. I'm having a Career meeting on the roof now so I would come if I were you," I explain.
"This is not the way to start the day…" Marvel complains.
"Shut up Marvel or else you'll get no sleep in the arena," I say.
"Ugh fine," Marvel groans before getting out of the bed with Glimmer.
"To the roof?" Glimmer asks.
"Wait you've never been?" I ask.
Glimmer shakes her head.
"Wow. It's actually quite romantic. I'd take my boyfriend if I had one," I say hiding my relationship with Cato.
"Well should we go then?" Marvel asks.
"We have to get Aqua and Shell first," I answer.
"Let's go then," Glimmer says.
The three of us walk to the elevator. When it opens, we walk in, press the number four, and we are sent to Aqua and Shell's floor.
The elevator opens and Shell is there to greet us.
"Hey Shell," I say.
"Hey guys. What are you doing here?" Shell asks.
"Clove is having a Career meeting on the roof," Glimmer announces.
"The roof?" Shell questions.
"Trust me; we're allowed. My stylist showed it to me," I explain.
"Okay then, I'll get Aqua," Shell says.
Shell walks into Aqua's room and gets her.
"Cute pajamas," I say to her.
"Thanks. Now why am I up early?" Aqua says.
"Clove is having a Career meeting on the roof," Shell explains.
"Cool. Are we even allowed on the roof?" Aqua asks.
"Of course. Clove's stylist showed it to her," GLimmer announces.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Aqua exclaims.
The five of us go the roof via the elevator. When the door opens, everyone's in awe.
"Wow…" Aqua gasps.
"This is so romantic," Glimmer gushes.
I walk to the edge and notice the sunrise.
"Guys, check out the view," I say.
The four of them walk towards me and look out at the view of the sunrise.
"Wow, this is-" Aqua begins.
"Breathtaking." Shell finishes for her.
Marvel kisses Glimmer.
"I knew it!" Aqua exclaims.
"Knew what?" Glimmer asks.
"About you and Marvel. It was really obvious," Aqua states.
"Ok, so why are we all here?" Shell asks.
"And where's Cato?" Glimmer adds.
"The meeting actually concerns him, so he's still asleep. And the reason you're all here is because I found this," I say and take out the note to show everyone.
"May I?" Aqua asks before taking the note.
Aqua takes it and reads it out loud. "Dear Cato, I have loved you ever since we met. Your eyes are as blue as the beautiful ocean from district 4 and I love your shiny blonde hair. You have hot abs and I love you. Xoxo, Anonymous," she recites.
"Now who wrote it? Obviously I didn't because if I did, you'd all still be asleep," I say.
"Well I'm just letting you know right now that it wasn't me. I know the district four simile might've made you think that it's me, but it isn't." Aqua states.
I knew it wasn't Aqua. I trust her.
"It wasn't me either. I'm with Marvel," Glimmer defends.
"But didn't you compliment his abs at the opening ceremonies? Before district 12 decided to be a b*tch and outshine us all?" I snap back.
"Glimmer wouldn't do that. I know her," Marvel states.
"Yeah well apparently your relationship was strong enough that Glimmer flirted with Dan before he got fired," I say.
Marvel grits his teeth.
"So are you guys sure it wasn't you? You can be honest with me," I say.
"I told you it wasn't me," Glimmer says.
"You should listen to her," Marvel adds.
"Number one, I am. And number 2, you're an idiot," I say to him. I turn to Aqua, Shell, and say, "You guys rock. Don't leave me."
Aqua smiles and says, "I love you too girl."
"You guys are leaving me out! Do you hate me or something?" Glimmer complains.
"It's not you Glimmer. It's your boyfriend," I say before hugging the three of them. Everyone except Marvel.
"So are you guys sure it wasn't you?" I ask.
"You know it's not me. I have a boyfriend back home," Aqua announces.
"You do?" I ask.
Aqua nods.
"You don't have to go into detail if you don't want to," I say.
"Thanks. I feel weird talking about him in front of Marvel," Aqua replies.
"I know how you feel. I'd tell you a lot, but I can't trust Marvel," I confess.
"I'm right here you know!" Marvel interjects.
"I'm not blind stupid, I know you're there. If the force field turned off right now, I'd throw you off the roof," I say.
Marvel cracks his knuckles.
"Ooh I'm so afraid!" I say sarcastically.
"You know, I think he likes you," Aqua whispers to me.
Wait what?
"Who? Loser boy?" I whisper back.
Aqua nods…
Omg Aqua…
"But he's with-" I begin.
She cuts me off. "Yeah, and we all know how fake that is. He's talked to you at training individually more than her."
"But he slept with her," I state.
"Yeah. They're probably friends with benefits," Aqua announces.
I nod.
"Wait, if the note was addressed to Cato, how did you find it?" Shell asks.
"Because the idiot who left it placed it in my room." I answer.
"Why would they do that?" Glimmer asks.
"I don't even know who wrote it," I say.
All of a sudden, Cato comes through the elevator doors, still in pajama pants.
"Hey Cato bear. Nice abs." Glimmer says.
"Glimmer, I know it's you. Fess up now," I say.
"I swear it wasn't me!" Glimmer defends.
"What are you talking about?" Cato asks.
"You." Marvel states.
Cato turns to Marvel.
"What do you mean?" Cato asks.
"I'll tell you later," I say.
"So does that mean that the meeting's over?" Shell asks.
"Yeah. Let's go," I say.
The six of us walk to the elevator and the door opens. Glimmer presses buttons 1, 2, and 4, and we are taken to our floors.
When the door opens on our floor, Brutus, Enobaria, Amy, Lolo, and Manus are there to greet us.
"Good morning you two. What were you doing with the Careers so early in the morning?" Amy asks.
"Well no time like the present to discuss strategies with the Games approaching," I say.
I think they took that…
"Cato, can I talk to you for a second?" I ask.
"Can it wait until after breakfast dear? You must be starving!" Lolo asks.
Lolo's right. I am hungry.
"Okay then," I say.
We walk to the table and sit down. Cassia serves us French toast and bacon and we begin to eat.
"So Clove, what's your strategy?" Enobaria asks.
"Well Glimmer and Marvel are together, so I can use their relationship against them…" I say.
"Well how did you find out that they're together?" Manus asks.
"They told us." Cato states.
"And Marvel kissed Glimmer on the roof," I add.
"Well are you killing them?" Brutus asks.
"I'm definitely killing Marvel. I can't stand him," I say.
"And I'm killing Glimmer. I deserve to kill that slut," Cato adds.
"What about Shell and Aqua?" Enobaria asks. "How do you feel about them?"
"I love them. I don't want them to die," I say.
"And you Cato?" Brutus asks.
"They're like our best friends. We don't want to see them die," Cato says.
"Well let's hope someone else kills them so you don't have to!" Amy exclaims.
"Cato. I have to tell you something," I announce.
"Are you pregnant?" Enobaria asks.
"WTF? NO!" I exclaim.
"Good," Enobaria says.
"What is it?" Cato asks.
"Come with me," I say.
I stand up and walk to my room. He follows and shuts the door behind him.
~Cato's POV~
How could Clove have a Career meeting without me? Is something wrong? Are they plotting against me?
No, Clove wouldn't do that.
"What's wrong?" I ask her.
"I found this," she says and hands me a note. I read it and it says:
Dear Cato,
I have loved you ever since we met. Your eyes are as blue as the beautiful ocean from district 4 and I love your shiny blonde hair. You have hot abs and I love you.
Xoxo,

Wait, now I'm getting mysterious love letters?
"It's Glimmer," I say.
"I called a Career meeting because I found it. Glimmer denies it and it's definitely not Aqua," Clove explains.
Of course it's not Aqua. Why would she like me?
"Glimmer's trying to cover it with her fake relationship with Marvel. It's definitely her," I say.
"But if it isn't her, than who is it?" Clove asks.
"If it's not Glimmer, then it's that skank from district 9," I explain.
"Want to go to Glimmer and ask again? She might have more of a reaction if you're there," Clove announces.
"Let's go," I say.
We leave the room and walk to the elevator. I press the number 1 and we are taken to Glimmer and Marvel's floor.
The door opens and we go into one of the rooms. And sure enough, Glimmer and Marvel are there.
"Cato bear! Clove! What are you doing here?" Glimmer asks.
"Well I got this," I say and pull out the note, "and I was wondering if you were the ones who wrote it."
"Dude why would I write a love letter to you? I'm not like that," Marvel says.
"Who knows Marvel? Maybe you are," Clove says.
"Well bitch I'm not. So you can believe what you want," Marvel says.
"Fine," Clove says.
"Anyway, Glimmer, why are you writing me love letters?" I ask.
"It's not me!" Glimmer exclaims.
"And I should believe you because?" I ask.
"Because we're together," Marvel defends.
"Yeah sure. Because everyone knows you can be trusted," Clove says sarcastically.
"You wanna go?" Marvel asks.
"Come at me bro. Everyone knows you can't fight a girl," Clove says.
"Don't do it Marvel! You're going to die!" Glimmer announces.
They have to fight now? Really?
"Yeah Marvel. Listen to your girlfriend," Clove says.
"Oh it's on," he says and slams Clove into the wall.
You can hear the thud of her head slamming into the wall and she sinks to the ground.
"CLOVE!" I shout and run to her.
"Marvel! Why'd you hurt Clove?" Glimmer screams and goes to Clove.
Clove feels the back of her head and when she looks at her hand, she notices blood.
"Clove! You're bleeding!" Glimmer states.
Thanks captain obvious…
"Marvel! I can't believe you! Go make yourself useful and get Cashmere or Gloss!" Glimmer exclaims.
I just lost all respect for Marvel. I can't wait until Clove brutally murders him in the arena.
Marvel doesn't move and I stand up.
"Listen dude I know that you and Clove hate each other, but you shouldn't have hurt her. Especially slamming her into a wall so that her head bleeds," I say.
"Uh can I get a towel? Or a doctor or something!" Clove asks.
"Fine," Marvel says and leaves the room.
I go back to Clove and Glimmer.
"What happened here?" Cashmere asks.
"Marvel slammed me into a wall," Clove states.
"Well you and Cato should go back to your floor for medical assistance. Brutus and Enobaria are probably getting worried," Cashmere says.
"You're a bitch," Clove says.
I help her stand and we walk to the elevator. Attached to the inside of the elevator is another note.
I hold it so Clove can read it and it says~
Dear Cato,
No this isn't Glimmer or Marvel. I know it may seem like it, but it isn't. I really love you and this is my only way of showing it. Especially with the Games in 2 days. Love you!

PS: I'm closer than you think.
"I'm closer than you think." I say.
The door opens.
"I think it's Brutus," Clove says walking out.
"What's me?" Brutus asks.
"This," I say handing him the note.
Brutus reads it slowly.
"Now why are you writing love letters to my boyfriend?" Clove asks.
"How are you so sure it's me?" Brutus asks.
"Why wouldn't it be you?" Clove snaps back.
"Maybe because I'm your mentor? Maybe because I'm straight?" Brutus says.
"Fair enough. Who do you think it is then?" Clove asks.
"How did you find this anyway?" Enobaria asks.
"I found a note in my room so I called a Career meeting in case it was one of them, but it wasn't. Then we went to the first floor, which is why my head's bleeding," Clove explains.
"Let me see your head," Enobaria says.
Clove turns around.
"Oh my god Clove, what happened?" Enobaria says.
"Marvel slammed into a wall," Clove announces.
"Well I hope you're killing him," Enobaria says.
"I am," Clove assures.
"Good. Now let's take you to get your head looked at," Enobaria announces.
Enobaria takes Clove into the elevator and leaves Brutus and I.
"Listen Cato; don't let these notes get to your head. The games start the day after tomorrow and then you'll be free until you get back home," Brutus explains to me.
"But what about Clove? I can't watch her die and live with the feeling that I killed her," I announce.
"Are you willing to die to save her life?" Brutus asks.
"Yes. That's what I plan on doing," I say.
"So you would throw away your future for her to live?" Brutus asks.
"Yes," I say.
"No wonder Enobaria and I don't know who to bring back… Listen Cato, I know there's a part of you that wants to win, but in the arena, I just want you to go out there and kill everyone that's not Clove. Especially district 12," Brutus explains.
"That was my plan. Then I'd kill myself in the final two with Clove," I say.
"Listen Cato, I know that you love her, but is that really what you want?"
"Yes it is. I decided that on the train. Even my token is for her."
"Then don't do anything stupid. Don't reveal your love for her during the interviews because we're not going for that angle. If you want to be together, then wait until your allies are asleep and one of you is guarding and then kiss whenever you feel like it. But that is the only time to reveal your love for each other to Panem."
"But that's the problem. When I'm around her, all I can think about is getting her to kiss me; it doesn't end well for me."
"Well Cato I guess it's settled then. You're head over heels in love with her. Guess we'll wait until the arena to see how long you last in that kind of a situation with her."
"OUR LOVE IS REAL OKAY? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T SEE THAT! AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M DYING AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!" I scream in fury before storming into my room.
I slam the door behind me and lay down on my bed. I blast I'm Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO and start to dance around to it. I know Brutus hates it, but I honestly don't care.
When I walk on by, girls be looking like damn he fly I pimp to the beat, walking on the street in my new lafreak, yeah This is how I roll, animal print pants out control, It's red foo with the big ass fro And like Bruce Leroy, I got the glow, yoGirl look at that body (x3) I work out Girl look at that body (x3) I work out When I walk in the spot, this is what I see Everybody stops and they staring at me
"CATO WILL YOU TURN IT DOWN?" Brutus screams from the main room.
"I GOT PASSION IN MY PANTS AND I AIN'T AFRAID TO SHOW IT!" I sing out loud so Brutus can hear.
"CATO!" Brutus shouts.
"I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!" I scream and continue dancing.
"CATOOOOOO! YOU KNOW I HATE THIS SONG!" Brutus screams.
"NO SHOES, NO SHIRTS, AND I STILL GET SERVICE!" I scream.
"CATO I DON'T CARE! JUST STOP THE SONG!" Brutus screams.
"WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE YEAH!" I sing and dance around.
"We're back!" I hear a faint voice say and I shrug it off and continue dancing.
"WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE YEAH!" I sing.
I hear my door open and I hope it's not Brutus.
"WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE YEAH!" I sing louder than before.
I then turn around and see that it's Clove. Well that's embarrassing…
"Uh, hi Clove," I say embarrassed.
"I get it. You're sexy and I know it," she says.
I blush and Clove punches me in the arm jokingly while laughing.
"How's your head?" I ask.
"Much better. The Capitol has the best medicine ever! I told the doctor that Marvel was the reason for the injury and he said that he'll tell the Gamemakers to give him a hard time in the arena," Clove explains.
"Well at least your head's better…" I say.
"But one more head injury could be fatal, so I have to be careful," Clove explains.
"Well nothing is going to happen to you until you go back to district 2," I announce.
"Cato I told you. I'm not going back. I'm dying after district 12, Marvel, Kali, and Thresh die. I can't watch you die," Clove says.
"Well I already told Brutus to bring you back and that I plan on dying," I explain.
"And on my way to the doctor, I told Enobaria that I'm dying," Clove states.
"Clove. Don't. I'm not going to sit there and watch you die. I'm going to die and there's nothing you can do about it," I announce.
"Cato, listen to me. I don't think you know how much I am willing to sacrifice myself for you. You deserve to win this. You can win this," Clove announces.
"And you have the power inside of you to win. That's why I'm letting you win," I explain.
All of a sudden, a note flies into my hands. But wait, how did this get here? I turn around and nothing seems different or unusual.
"What the-?" Clove asks.
I shrug and open the envelope. I turn so Clove can read it too and it says:
Dear Cato,
I honestly and truly love you. The only hint that I can give you is that I'm not who you think I am. I'm not a Career or mentor. I'm also not from District 12 either. Any guesses?
Xoxo,

"It's the skank from nine," I announce.
"Let's go," Clove says.
The two of us leave the room and go on the elevator. I press the 9 and we are taken there.
~Clove's POV~
Well today has been an interesting day. First, Cato receives mysterious love letters. Then, I learn that Aqua has a boyfriend back home. Now I really can't see her die. She's my best friend here and she deserves to go back to her boyfriend. But what about Shell? He's her cousin and they're really close. And Shell's like the little brother I never had…
Oh and then the day changed when Marvel decided that it would be cool to slam me into a wall hard enough so my head bleeds. I'm telling you, he's an idiot. He has no clue what's coming for him in the arena…
Sure the bleeding stopped and the Capitol medicine works like magic, but then there's Cato. OMG seeing him dance to I'm Sexy and I Know It literally made everything better. I even walked in on the wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah part. It was hilarious!
Then we got another note. I mean like can't we just figure out who it is already? If it's not the skank from district nine, then I don't know who it would be.
The elevator doors open on the ninth floor and luckily only the skank is there.
"Hi! How's it going?" the skank asks.
"We're marvelous," Cato replies.
"Oh god Cato, please don't use that word," I say.
"Ok. So why are you here? I'm not a Career and your friends called me a whore," the skank says.
"Because you've been sending me love letters all day. And it's not cute. Or funny," Cato explains.
"What letters?" the skank asks.
"Here's your most recent letter," I say handing her the note.
She reads it and says, "I didn't write this."
"Are you sure? Because if it's you, then we're already planning out your death," Cato says.
"Well it's not me," she says handing him the note.
"Well if it's not you, skank, then let's go Cato," I say and walk towards the elevator.
Cato follows and the doors open.
"Well if it's not her, and it's not Glimmer or Aqua or District 12. And it can't be a mentor, then who is it?" I say.
"Well we can eliminate the girls from 11 and 3 since they're twelve. But who does that leave us with?" Cato explains.
"Districts 6, 7, and 10," I announce.
"I feel like we're missing someone…" Cato realizes.
"Whoops. I forgot district 5," I say.
"What category would she go in?" Cato asks.
"Not interested. If she doesn't want allies, she sure as hell wouldn't want a boyfriend," I announce.
"True," Cato says.
The doors open on the second floor and we walk into a room. When we open the door, we see Manus writing something. Scattered on the floor are crumpled pieces of paper. Similar to the paper used in Cato's notes…
"Hey Manus," Cato says.
Manus turns around.
"Um. Hey guys. How are you?" Manus asks seeming nervous.
"We're good. What have you been up to?" I ask reaching to pick up a crumpled paper.
"Don't touch that! They're drafts for Cato's interview outfit," Manus explains.
"Then why can't I see them? I'm not the one wearing it," I ask.
"Because," Manus says.
"Um okay then… But why are you drawing on letter paper with pen? Shouldn't you be using pencils and sketchbook paper?" Cato asks.
"I couldn't find any," Manus says.
"Then what's this?" I ask and point to the sketchbook and pencils next to me.
"Chariot drafts," Manus answers.
"Wait. You filled up a whole sketchbook to design a pair of pants and a tattoo?" Cato asks.
"Kind of," Manus says.
"But you're from the Capitol. You have money to buy a sketchbook. Or you could get one for free," I say.
"I know… But I don't want to," Manus says.
"But wait, why can't we see your interview outfit drafts? They're only drafts. It's not like I'm wearing them anyway," Cato asks.
~Cato's POV~
"Still. I don't want you to," Manus explains.
I see Clove reaching for a draft.
"Clove, what did I tell you?" Manus asks in a stern voice.
"Um these aren't drafts. They're love letters to Cato," Clove says.
Wait, what?
"This one says: Dear Cato, If only you knew how much I love you. I love everything about you and I can't wait until you come back from the Games so we could possibly be together. If your relationship with Clove fails, I'll always be there for you. Xoxo, Anonymous," Clove reads.
"So it's you," I say.
"Fine. It is, Cato. I love you. You have the hottest abs ever and you're amazing. I want you to come home alive," Manus explains.
"Loser he's with me. And when he does come back alive, he won't come back gay," Clove says.
(a/n: I'm not homophobic! I'm just keeping Clove in character!)
"Clove's right. I understand that you like me which is kind of pedophile-ish, but you're a forty year old man. I'm just an eighteen-year-old straight teenager. And I have the best girlfriend ever," I explain.
"Number one, I'm 25. And number 2, you're hot Cato," Manus announces.
"Do you realize that you sound like a pedophile right now?" I ask.
"I'm just a guy who sends love letters to the man of his dreams and will never be with him because he has a girlfriend," Manus explains.
"Well because of the Games, I'll never be with him either because I'll come back to district 2 in a coffin," Clove explains.
"So does this mean-?" Manus asks.
"NO!" Clove and I scream in unison.
"Aaw," Manus sighs.
"Cato! Clove! Dinner!" Amy announces from the dining room.
"UGH!" I say and take clove's hand. We walk to the dining room and sit down.
"Where have you two been since Cato's solo dance party?" Brutus asks.
"Trying to figure out who was writing me love letters," I say.
"And did you ever find out?" Enobaria asks.
"Yes," Clove says.
"And who was it?" Brutus asks.
"It was Manus," I explain.
Brutus spits out his drink.
"WHAT?" Brutus asks.
"We're not lying. Go ask him," Clove says.
"I guess I will," Brutus says before leaving.
Finally Cassia comes and serves us dinner. Spaghetti and meatballs.
"So how do you know it's him?" Enobaria asks.
"We went to his room and saw papers. I picked one up and found a note similar to the ones Cato has been receiving all day," Clove explains.
"Well I guess you learn something new every day…" Enobaria says twirling spaghetti on her fork.
"Well I had my suspicions…" I say.
"You did?" Clove asks.
"Well kind of. He called me handsome and said that I had hot abs before he gave me my chariot outfit," I explain.
"And you didn't tell me that your stylist hit on you before Glimmer did? When were you planning on it? Huh? When I'm dying you're just going to be like 'oh and by the way, my stylist likes me.' Huh? Is that what you were going to do?" Clove yells.
"CLOVE! I didn't tell you because I know what you do when you're angry. I didn't want you to kill my stylist," I say.
"WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON CATO? THE ONE THAT TRULY LOVES YOU? OR YOUR CREEPY GAY STYLIST'S?" Clove screams.
"um… um…" I say.
"UM? CATO IF YOU CAN'T DECIDE WHO MEANS MORE TO YOU, ME, OR YOUR STYLIST'S, I DON'T SEE THE POINT IN US BEING TOGETHER ANYMORE…" Clove stands up, shakes her head, and runs to her room.
I run after her and block her door.
"Can I go in my room?" she asks.
"Not unless you explain why you're so angry with me," I explain.
"Cato, you're going to have to choose. You can't hide the fact that your stylist has been hitting on you since the parade and then we end up asking everyone about the letters. And I know that there was something in your gut telling you it was him the whole time," Clove says.
"Clove. It shouldn't have to work like that. Manus and I only talk because he's my stylist. The same way Lolo is your stylist. But if you think that I'm choosing him over you in relationship terms, then you're wrong. I wouldn't be with you if I liked Manus," I say.
"Cato. Obviously you'd choose me over him when it comes to a relationship, but the fact that we had to go back and interrogate Glimmer and Marvel again when you had a feeling that it was Manus in the first place just pisses me off. If we didn't go back to their floor, then I wouldn't have gotten my head smashed into a wall," Clove explains.
"So now your head injury is my fault? I wasn't the one that slammed you into a wall. That was Marvel's fault," I say.
"Yeah but if you told me from the start that you had your suspicions, then I wouldn't have gotten my head bashed into a wall," Clove explains.
"Don't turn this around on me Clove. I didn't throw you into a wall. And I didn't tell you because I doubted it," I say.
"Want some advice? Don't doubt. Odds are it's probably true," Clove says before pushing me out of her way and going into her room. She slams and locks the door behind her.
And I wonder, is this the end of us?
~End of chapter 6~
A/N: Again, I am so sorry that this chapter took so long! I promise the next chapter will come sooner! Interviews are the next chapter so expect a ton of drama! Also, tell me what you think of the cliffhanger ending!
