A/N: I am so so so so so so so sorry for not updating in forever!
Clove's POV-
I wake up and realize what today is. Today is the day that the seventy-fourth Hunger Games begin. A few days ago, I would've been happy for today, but now I'm not. The images from last night replay in my head and I can't take it anymore. Tears start to form in my eyes and I let them pour out, completely aware of the fact that I cried myself to sleep last night.
I hear a knock on the door.
"Go away!" I scream/cry.
The door opens and I see that it's Enobaria.
"What do you want?" I ask with tears streaming down my face.
She sighs. "Clove, this isn't like you."
"I know! I never realized that I was the true whore of the Careers! All this time, I thought it was Glimmer, but no. It's me," I say with anger and sadness.
"Who called you a whore?" Enobaria asks.
The tears start to pool again in my eyes.
"Cato…" I say, letting the tears fall.
She hugs me. "I know that there's a part of Cato that still loves you. You just have to forget about him for now…"
"I can't forget, Enobaria! I can't forget about what happened between Cato and I!"
"I know you can't… but you're going to have to make it work..."
"How do we do that?"
"Just talk to him… and get dressed and stuff, you have about an hour and a half to get ready."
"Fine…" I say, making it obvious that she just blew me off.
She leaves the room and I go to wash my face of my tears.
Cato's POV-
The seventy-fourth annual Hunger Games start today. The one thing I've dreaded since I got here, I can't wait for now. I can't wait to snap Marvel's neck. Or just simply chop his head off with my sword.
But then there's Clove.
Clove. The only girl that I've ever truly loved. The one thing holding me on to life. The girl I was planning on sacrificing my life for in the arena. Now she's gone. Ripped away from me. By him. I know I can take him down, but she already called dibs on killing him from the start. But knowing Clove, she won't mind if I chop his head off…
But I still called her a whore. Sure, I'm mad at her, but I know that she wouldn't do that. Goddammit why can't I just fucking believe her?! I love her! I know I do!
Clove means the world to me. And now she probably hates me…
I need to make things right with her… I know I will… eventually…
I'm about to leave my bed when I hear a knock at the door.
Is it Clove?
The door opens and it's Manus.
Of course it's Manus. Why wouldn't it be Manus?
"GOOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOORNIIIIIIIIIING MYYYYYYYYYYYYY STAAAAAAAAAARSHIIIINE!" Manus sings.
I chuck my pillow at him.
"Go away!" I scream.
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU CAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOO!" Manus sings.
"I DON'T CARE MANUS! GO AWAY!" I scream.
He sighs and leaves.
Thank God…
Amy storms into my room.
"Cato! You woke me up from my beauty sleep with your screaming and pillow throwing!" Amy scolds with her Capitol accent.
"Sorry Amy…" I say.
Does she even realize that today the Games start?
"Well I'm mad at you!" Amy exclaims and stabs me with her stiletto.
That fucking hurt!
"Um Amy?" I ask.
"Yeah?" she asks and puts her stiletto back on.
"You do realize that the Games are in an hour, right?"
"They are?" she asks seeming shocked.
And she's supposed to be our escort…
"Yeah…" I say.
"Oh in that case, CATO, DON'T BOTHER ME BEFORE YOU HAVE TO GO KILL SOME BITCHES!" she screams while whacking me with a pillow.
"Will you leave now?" I ask.
"Fine," she says and leaves.
I pull out my phone and realize that this is the last time that I'll be able to use it.
I check my Capitol Chat and read other people's statuses:
Glamgirlglimmer: arena day today! Hoping to get it on with cato bear ;) xx
Marvelicious: let the games begin! #cantwaittokillbitches

I update my status:
Swordboy: game day! :) #gocareers #ikillyouall
I then look to the sidebar and see that Glimmer's online.
Fuck. Get offline now Cato before you do anything stupid!
Before I can log out, she messages me and we end up chatting for 15 minutes. This is our convo:
Glamgirlglimmer: hey cato bear!
Swordboy: go away glimmer
Glamgirlglimmer: I'm guessing you read my status… are we moving too quickly?
Swordboy: you know I don't love you right?
Glamgirlglimmer: but that's no excuse to not have sex!
Swordboy: that's exactly what it is…
Glamgirlglimmer: meaniebutt! :P you know you love me! ;)
Swordboy: actually, I don't.
Glamgirlglimmer: yeah you do! You kissed me, remember?
Swordboy: yeah because I was depressed and you're a whore…
Glamgirlglimmer: rude!
Swordboy: it's the truth!
Glamgirlglimmer: oh I get it… you're playing hard to get, aren't you? ;)
Swordboy: I'm not
Glamgirlglimmer: but I love you!
Swordboy: but I don't love you
Glamgirlglimmer: meanie!
Swordboy: I'm just telling the truth…
Glamgirlglimmer: UGH!
-glamgirlglimmer is offline-
I hate Glimmer.
I log off of Capitol chat and get dressed into my arena outfit.
I then look at the clock and realize that the Games start in 20 minutes and I haven't eaten anything…
I go to the dining room and realize that breakfast is buffet style this morning.
I take a plate, put scrambled eggs, bacon, and waffles on it, and walk to my room to eat it.
Clove's POV~
I step out of the bathroom and look at my phone, reading all of everyone's pointless Capitol Chat statuses:
Glamgirlglimmer: arena day today! Hoping to get it on with cato bear ;) xx
Whore.
Marvelicious: let the games begin! #cantwaittokillbitches
Asshole.
Swordboy: game day! :) #gocareers #ikillyouall

Littleflower: game day… #scared
So young and vulnerable… easy kill… but she's also cute… wait did I just say that?
: let the seventy fourth annual hunger games begin… #cominghomeforyouprim
Ugh… I don't know who I hate more, you or Marvel…
Breadboy: arena day… #gokatniss
Ew I hate you too…
Ugh!
I update my status:
Knifequeen: let the games begin and let all the bitches die by my knives. #loveyouguys
I swear I need to win an award for that status…
The second I put my phone down, it goes off. Ew I have a message… I hope it's from Cato…
I look and I see it's from Marvel…
We end up IMing for 10 minutes and this is our conversation:
Marvelicious: good morning sexy ;)
Knifequeen: my status is better than yours.
Marvelicious: that's because you're hot
Knifequeen: shut up I can't wait to kill you
Marvelicious: who said you were going to kill me?
Knifequeen: I told you that I was killing you since training…
Marvelicious: true but I'm hot, you're hot, why kill me? We're the sexy ones…
Knifequeen: because you're an asshole
Marvelicious: no I'm not
Knifequeen: yes you are… you ruined my relationship with cato!
Marvelicious: I'm better than him.
Knifequeen: you're a cocky asshole
Marvelicious: playing hard to get, eh? ;)
Knifequeen: I can't wait to slit your throat. Is that hard to get enough for you?
Marvelicious: oh come on baby… I know you want me…
Knifequeen: I'd pick district 12 loverboy over you anyday.
Marvelicious: but baby…
Knifequeen: I'm not your baby.
-KNIFEQUEEN IS NOW OFFLINE-
I throw my phone against the wall across the room and watch it smash to pieces.
I hate Marvel so much…
I think the sound of the smashing causes Cato to come into my room.
"What happened?" Cato asks.
I point to the broken phone.
"Oh… Who pissed you off?" he asks.
"Oh no one special… just an asshole…" I say.
"District one?" he asks.
"Yup," I say.
"Of course. You kiss a guy and he never leaves you alone… counting down the minutes until you're in the arena and can have sex with him?" Cato asks.
"Cato! I don't love him at all! I didn't even kiss him back! Why would I want to have sex with that asshole?"
"Because you're a whore!"
"Oh I'm the whore? Haven't you seen your bimbo?"
"She's not mine!"
"Oh really now? How good was the sex?"
"There was no sex! How was the sex with Marvel the Great?"
"Why would I touch that asshole?"
"Because you already have!"
"I haven't!"
"Did you ever even love me at all? Or was this just part of your master plan for sponsors? Play up the confused girl so that people will love you! Because everyone loves a good love triangle! Huh? Was that it? I know it was…"
"Cato! None of that is true!" I yell.
"Oh really? What part of you actually thinks that I'll listen to what you say?"
It's so hard keeping up my toughness. I need to cry. I need to. I… can't…
"Because if you ever loved me at all you'd listen!"
I love Cato… Not a second goes by where I don't think about how much I need to be in his arms. To feel his lips against mine. To feel safe, like anything is possible.
Cato's POV
I still love Clove. With all of my heart I still love her. It just angers me so much that that asshole felt the need to put his lips against the lips of my Clove.
"You know what, Clove? I'm done!" I yell before storming out.
I storm to my room and slam the door behind me.
Instead of doing what I would normally do- destroying the room- I'm doing something totally different.
I break down. I cry. Yes, I said it. Cato Chambers is crying. Like a big baby right before the Games.
I love her… I still love her…
Clove's POV
Cato storms out of my room and I break into tears. I still love him more than anything.
I can't do this anymore… I love Cato, yet he hates me… I don't know what to do…
Surprisingly, Manus is the one to come find me.
He hugs me tightly as I cry.
"Shh… I'm sorry for Cato's behavior… I know I should've been protecting him since I love him, but I didn't. I'm sorry…" he says.
"Creeper, get the fuck away from me," I snap.
I do not need his sassy gay stylist now.
"Why doesn't anyone want me today?" Manus says to himself as he stands up and leaves my room.
My stomach growls and I realize that I haven't even eaten breakfast yet… Way to go Clove… not even eating breakfast before fighting…
I walk to the breakfast buffet. When I get there, I take a plate, put scrambled eggs, bacon, and waffles on it, and walk to my room to eat it.
I'm almost done eating my eggs when Enobaria comes in.
"You're just eating breakfast, now? Come on Clove, you have to be ready in fifteen minutes!" Enobaria announces.
"I'm sorry! I just can't deal with it today! You're lucky I'm awake!" I scream.
Enobaria sighs. "I know… just good luck out there with Cato and Marvel and everything… you're strong Clove, but your weakness is Cato. So just focus on how much you want to kill Marvel and use your anger there to kill people in the bloodbath. Especially district twelve. We want them dead."
"I know…" I say.
I can't believe the Games are soon… I'm not ready to deal with Ca- wait. The games mean that people get to die. And that means district 12 will die. WOOO! I GET TO KILL KATNISS TODAY!
"Good. Now get dressed and ready to board the hovercraft," Enobaria says and walks out.
I open the closet to find my arena outfit and put it on. I walk to the bathroom and brush my hair into a high ponytail so it's easy to see who I'm killing and so my hair doesn't get in my face and I end up cutting my hair with my knife.
I put extra ponytails on my wrist and walk to the main room.
Cato's POV
The door flies open and in storms Brutus.
"CATO! QUIT CRYING AND GET READY FOR THE GAMES! REAL MEN DON'T CRY! COME ON CATO I KNOW YOU LOVE CLOVE BUT STILL. YOU'RE FIGHTING IN THE HUNGER GAMES. YOU'RE A CAREER. YOU'VE BEEN TRAINING ALL OF YOUR LIFE FOR THIS. STOP CRYING!" Brutus screams and throws a pillow at me.
"SORRY! UGH I'LL GET READY!" I shout and walk to the bathroom to get dressed into my arena outfit.
I spike my hair and make sure I look good for the Capitol.
At least I get to kill people today…
I walk out of my room and Manus drags me to his room.
"You're coming with me," Manus says with a creepy smile.
"Where the hell are we go—why are we in your room?" I ask.
"Because we need to get you to the hovercraft Mr. Sexypants," he says.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
Manus presses a button and a door opens.
"I'm sure," Manus says and walks through the door.
I follow him.
"Oh and here's your token," Manus says and gives me my dogtag.
I read it and remember everything. I take it from him and throw it to the ground in rage.
"Are you sure you don't want it?" Manus asks.
"Ugh I'll keep it," I say and shove it in my pocket.
If I lose it, I lose it. If it stays, it stays. I could honestly care less.
"Okay then…" Manus says and approaches my cylinder.
"So can I go inside now?" I ask.
Manus hugs me tightly and starts crying.
"CATO YOU'RE THE HOTTEST THING THAT'S EVER LIVED! I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE OUT THERE, OKAY? I LOVE YOU ! AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME OUT THERE!" Manus scream cries.
I shove him away.
"Bye Manus!" I say and walk inside my cylinder.
Clove's POV
I sit down on a couch and Lolo walks up to me.
"It's time to go now, Clove. Ready?" she says.
Yes… no… I don't know…
I nod and stand up.
She walks to her room and I follow her.
Lolo turns around and hands me my charm bracelet.
"Your token…" she says.
I take it and the tears immediately fall. I'm not ready. I'm not ready to face him. I'm not. I love him. I always have and I always will. Ugh.
"I'm sorry Clove…" Lolo says softly while wrapping her arms around me in a hug.
"Don't be. You didn't do anything. It's all my fault. And I have to deal with it in the arena," I say while wiping the tears from my eyes.
"You can get through this Clove. You're strong and you can win easily with or without him."
"Thank you… I needed that."
"It's time for you to go, Clove…" she says.
"I can do this… thank you Lolo… I'll see you when I win," I say.
"I know you will," Lolo says and lets go of me.
I walk to my cylinder and watch it close around me. I wave to Lolo as the cylinder sends me into the arena.
Sixty seconds. Sixty seconds is all that's left until the gong goes off and the Games begin. Sixty seconds until the bloodbath begins. Sixty seconds left until I am faced with the fallout of last night's drama.
I start doing the countdown. 59. 58. 57. I soon realize that I am not ready like I say I am. Not just for the fight, but for facing the other Careers. At least District 4 will be there to keep some peace…
45. 44. 43. How long is a minute? It feels like ages. Ages I've been training for this moment. Perfecting my knife skills, learning everything that I need to know to survive.
25. 24. 23. Less than half a minute left. But am I really ready to face Cato after the bloodbath is over? After all, Marvel is the one that kissed me. I never kissed him back.
15. 14. 13. It's so close yet so far away. Thirteen seconds left until the Games begin, but who knows how long it will take for the twenty-three other tributes to die?
I decide to survey my surroundings. There's a lot of trees and a lake not too far from the Cornucopia where the Careers will set up camp… So pretty much a forest…

"Let the games begin and may the odds be ever in your favor!" Claudius Templesmith's voice booms from around the arena as the gong goes off.
The second the gong goes, I make a beeline for the Cornucopia. I grab a jacket filled with knives and a large backpack. I'll get more supplies after I kill some tributes.
Running at me is the whorebag from 9. How pathetic it really is that she thinks she even has a chance at surviving these Games. So I do what I do best and pull a knife from my jacket, and slit her throat when she tries to tackle me. Her blood pours onto me, but I could care less.
I turn around and see Katniss fighting with some random boy over a loaf of bread. Pathetic…
I pull out another knife and throw it into his back. He's not the target, just a weak obstacle to get to Katniss. When he collapses onto the ground I realize that this is my moment. My moment to shine. My moment to prove to all of Panem how strong I am. My moment to kill Katniss Everdeen.
I lock eyes with her and my lips form a cruel smirk. I think she realizes what's about to happen so she starts running away. Running far away. Far from the Cornucopia. Far from my grasp. Far enough so none of us can find her.
I manage to throw a knife into her back as she runs. But of course it didn't go deep into her skin, into her body so she's still alive. It's just lodged into that ugly orange backpack of hers.
Ugh! I ruined my chance to kill Katniss! But as long as the other Careers saw that, it doesn't count, right? It better not…
I turn around and see Cato decapitating another tribute. Awesome…
I look forward and see Aqua running toward the lake. I decide to run after her and follow her.
"Hey!" I say, loud enough so she can hear me.
She turns around and smiles. "Hey Clove."
"Where are the others?" I say sitting down next to the lake.
Aqua shrugs. "I have no clue… Clove, what exactly happened last night?"
Ugh no. I don't want to get into this…
"Basically Cato and I have been together since the train ride and Marvel kissed me so everything went wrong and last night happened," I explain.
She hugs me tightly. "I'm sorry Clove…"
"Why are you sorry?"
"Because I know how that feels. How it feels to have someone try to tear you apart from the love of your life."
"R-Really?" I ask, realizing how weak I sound by almost breaking into tears in the arena.
Aqua nods. "I do… But I don't feel like saying it… too many bad memories."
"I understand," I say.
She nods and Glimmer comes. Ew.
"Whore alert," Aqua whispers in my ear and I giggle.
"So how many losers did you kill? I killed one," Glimmer says with a proud smile.
"Two," Aqua and I say in unison.
I can't believe our friendship may have to come to an end. Aqua's the sister I never had and always wanted. We're like twins.
Cato's POV
The cylinder takes me up to the arena. I look to my right and to my left. To my right is Marvel the asshole and to my left is the weak girl from district 3.
The one minute countdown begins and I take a deep breath.
59. 58. 57. I can't let anything happen to Clove. As much as I'm mad at her, I still love her. I have no clue why though, but I do. She's still my everything and I'm not going to let her die out there.
47. 46. 45. The amount of ways I can kill Marvel are limitless. Visions of his dead body, blood pouring out of him swirl in my mind. I want him dead, and I want to be the one that ends his life.
30. 29. 28. Less than half a minute left. The arena this year looks like a forest, but there's a lake where I'm pretty sure we're claiming. Or we'll just kill whoever tries to claim it so we can have it.
15. 14. 13. It occurs to me that this moment right here is what I've been training for. The moment that the gong sounds, the killing begins and I can prove to my parents, to my district, to all of Panem how strong I am.

"Let the games begin and may the odds be ever in your favor!" Claudius Templesmith's voice booms from around the arena as the gong goes off.
I sprint from my plate to the Cornucopia, picking up a bag and a sword on my way there. I quickly turn around and see Clove killing the district 9 whore. I turn back around and see some weak pathetic girl from I don't know what district and I use my sword to decapitate her.
I start to run a few feet to gain some land and kills and thrust my sword into the stomach of a male tribute. I pull the sword out and run to the lake where I see Clove, Glimmer, and Aqua in a deep conversation probably about girl stuff… or me… ugh no not me, the thought of that makes me sound like the cocky asshole… ugh…
"Hey guys," I say.
"Hey Cato," Clove says.
"So Catobear, I'm guessing you got some kills…" Glimmer says with a flirtatious grin.
"Yeah I did and I'm pretty sure I had more than you," I say.
"She only had one," Aqua says.
"Two," I say.
"Same," Clove and Aqua say in unison.
"Where are the others?" I ask.
"Well nobody gives a shit about Marvel, and I have no clue where Shell is," Clove says.
I shrug. "Understandable."
All of a sudden, Marvel appears and walks to us.
"One kill?" Aqua asks.
"How did you know?" Marvel asks.
Aqua shrugs. "Seems to be a district one trend."
Marvel looks at Glimmer. "Of course."
"Have you seen Shell?" Aqua asks.
"No…" Marvel says.
We hear footsteps approaching us and I turn around. It's District 12's Loverboy.
"What do you want, Loverboy?" I ask, raising my sword.
"I came to join you guys," he says.
"Shut it Breadboy. What makes you think that you can join us?" Aqua asks.
"Um… I can bake…" Loverboy says.
"CUPCAKES! OMG CAN YOU MAKE US CUPCAKES? PLEASE? I WANT CUPCAKES. OR BROWNIES! YEAH I WANT BROWNIES TOO!" Glimmer fangirls.
Clove slaps her in the face. "Shut it whore. Loverboy, what can you really do?"
"I can help you find her," Loverboy says.
"And how do we know that you're not going to betray us for her?" Marvel asks.
"Because it was all an act. Why else would I say that I'm in love with Katniss?" Loverboy says.
"True…" Clove says. "But what weapon skills do you have?"
"Um… I'm okay with a spear…" Loverboy says.
"But not as good as me," Marvel says.
"Ignore him. He's an arrogant moron. You really want to stay with us?" I ask.
"Yes…" Loverboy says.
"Give us a second," I say and gesture for the rest of the Careers to go away so that we can decide what we want.
Clove's POV
NO. I DO NOT WANT LOVERBOY. UGH. NO. I DIDN'T EVEN WANT MARVEL AND GLIMMER. NO. I DON'T WANT LOVERBOY.
"I don't want him at all," I say.
"Why? He can help us find Katniss," Aqua says.
"He's so fucking annoying!" I say.
"I think that he'd work well with us… he can help us find her," Aqua says.
"I'm with Aqua on this one," Cato says.
"I WANT HIM! HE CAN MAKE US CUPCAKES!" Glimmer exclaims.
I slap her in the face. "Nobody gives a shit about your cupcakes."
"Don't you want cupcakes?" Glimmer asks.
"No," I say.
"I want him," Marvel says. "But we have to watch him closely."
"No shit Sherlock," Cato says.
"So we're letting him in?" Aqua asks.
"Yes," Cato says.
"UGH!" I groan.
"Clove…" Cato says.
"What?!" I snap back.
"We're letting him in. I'm sorry this isn't what you want, but it's for the best," Cato explains.
"Whatever," I say.
Cato walks to Breadboy and we all follow him.
"You're in," Cato says.
"Really?" Breadboy asks.
"One mistake and you die," I say.
Cato shoots me a glare.
"What?" I say.
"Nothing…" Cato says.
"Don't worry, I'll lead you to her," Loverboy says.
"Good," Marvel says.
"Can you make us cupcakes?" Glimmer asks.
Idiot…
"Um… sure I guess…" Loverboy says.
"YAY!" Glimmer exclaims with a huge smile on her face.
I slap her in the face.
"Why do you keep slapping me?" Glimmer asks.
"Because you're an idiot," I say.
"Nuh uh!" Glimmer exclaims.
"You are an idiot," Aqua says.
"I'm not!" Glimmer says and starts crying.
"Drama queen…" I say.
Aqua giggles and Glimmer runs away. Marvel runs after her. Of course…
"Okay Breadboy, what did you get at the Cornucopia?" Cato asks.
"I got a tent," Loverboy says.
"Good. Now go put the tent together," Cato says.
"I can't do it alone," Loverboy says.
"Ugh I'll go with you," Aqua says and the two of them take off to put the tent together.
That leaves Cato and I left.
"Hey…" I say.
Cato glares at me.
"Listen I know you're mad at me, but," I start and Cato cuts me off.
"But what? Something's going to change in you and make you not a whore? I know what we had was a lot, but you ruined it," Cato says.
"Exactly. We had it all Cato, and Marvel ruined it. Why can't you believe me after everything?" I say.
"Because I can't," Cato says.
"That's not a reason," I say.
Cato turns around.
"What? So you're leaving me now? To go run off with Loverboy? Is that really what you want, Cato?" I ask.
Cato's POV
I can't take it anymore. I still love her. It's so hard to keep up this act. It's tearing me apart.
I turn back around to face her.
"No. I'm going because he can help us find her so we can kill her. So I can kill her. Feel free to go make out with Marvel while you're at it," I say.
"Fine," Clove says. "I'll leave."
Clove storms away and I sit down on the ground and think for a while.
I love her so much… I don't know if she feels the same… she probably does… she's the most amazing thing ever to happen to me, and I tore what we had apart, because of him. I hate him. He's a moron.
After a while, Glimmer walks over to me.
"What do you want?" I ask.
"You," she says.
"Go away whore," I say.
"What? I thought what we had was special!" she says.
"Go have sex with Marvel, I don't need you," I say.
"But I thought you loved me," she says.
"I never did. I never even liked you," I say and stand up.
"But you kissed me," she says.
"I was confused. I'm done," I say and walk away.
"You can't just run away from your problems, Cato. You're going to have to face them or have nothing," Glimmer says as I walk towards the tent.
Clove's POV
After I walk out on Cato, I storm up to Marvel.
"I fucking hate you more than anything," I say.
"Aww why baby? I thought you loved me," Marvel says with a smug smirk.
"I don't. I never did," I say while glaring at him.
"Come on Clove… you know you love me," Marvel says and runs his hand down my arm.
I shove him. "You're a pathetic moron."
"I'm the best thing that's ever lived," Marvel says.
I slap him in the face. "You're not. You're a cocky arrogant asshole who I can't stand more than anything. You ruined everything and I fucking hate you. I can't wait to kill you."
Marvel pins me against a tree. "You want to know something? I'm the best fighter there is. And if you want to test that theory, go ahead. You're not going to succeed with killing me because you'll be dead before you can slit my throat."
I reach down and grab Marvel's legs and use them to flip him. I put my foot on his chest to keep him stable.
"And you say you're the best," I say. "You're pathetic."
"I will kill you in your sleep," Marvel says.
"Really? Because you'll be dead before you can do that," I say and begin to walk to the tent, leaving Marvel behind because I could care less about him.
Cato takes over every inch of my mind. He's all I can think about. I love him more than anything. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to him. He's my everything.
Cato's POV
Clove is all I can think about. As I see her talking to Aqua, I can't help but want to kiss her. To hold her in my arms again. To see her smile and know that I put that beautiful smile on her face. She's all I ever wanted and I love her. Still. I love her. She's my everything.
A/N: I am so sorry that the chapter was really bad… :/ But I promise that Clato will get back together :)
