Wind blew Cupcake's pink hair everywhere and she sat with her hands folded on her lap. She watched Cato being looked after by paremedics and police dragging Blade to the cruiser. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. Mr and Mrs Haldey would be home soon and would not be happy at all. Cupcake felt a warm hand on her back and looked up quickly to see Luna. Cupcake smiled.
"Hey."
"Hi."
"You okay?"
"Fantastic"
Luna chuckled and sat down beside Cupcake on the lawn. She picked at the grass and let out a huff. Cupcake took Luna's hand and she leaned her head on her shoulder "Thank you...You might of just saved Cato's life" she let a soft smile spread across her face. Luna smiled back "I'm glad I was there to help" she placed her hand on Cupcake's growing stomach "Thought of any names yet?" she asked, curious. Cupcake tilted her head "I hadn't really thought of any but I guess I should get on that" she looked down at her stomach "My parents don't even know yet..that's how long I've been here..My dad said I could come home once I learnt my lesson..." she looked up and her eyes started filling with water. Luna wrapped her arms tightly around her friend and smiled "A little bird said they were coming to visit in a few days..." she chirped and wiped Cupcake's eyes. "Please don't cry...They do still love you." Cupcake nodded and looked over at where Cato was. She blushed a deep red when he waved at her. She waved back "Is that the little bird?" she asked still looking at him. Luna giggled "Yea...well okay maybe not little bird then." Both girls fell into a fit of laughter. They calmed down and Luna helped Cupcake up. "You should go inside and get some rest okay?"
Cupcake bit her lip "But Cato.." she hesitated. Luna huffed and started guiding Cupcake to the door "Mr Muscle isn't going anywhere" she chuckled and pushed back her hair "Now go to bed missy"
Cupcake smiled and hugged Luna tightly "You and Nora can crash here still..."
Luna ruffled Cupcake's hair "Sure" she kissed her friends forehead and made Cupcake lay down on her make-shift bed in the living room "Nora and I will be in soon okay?" Luna spoke softly as she flicked off the lights. Cupcake nodded and closed her eyes.
The next morning Cupcake's eyes fluttered open and she rolled over to see Luna and Nora fast asleep on their beds. Cupcake sat up stretched, letting a yawn go. She looked at the time and giggled seeing it was only 8am. She was getting up more early now. She heard whispers out in the kitchen and she got up, curious. Who was up so early. She stood outside the archway of the kitchen and listened carfully to what sounded like Mr Hadley and Natalie.
"We can not let her stay here any longer!" Mr Hadley whispered as loud as possible
"We can't just send her home Nick..her parents don't even know about the pregnancy and Cato is the father...this is our grandchild" Natalie spoke softly with a sigh.
"Look at what is happening to this family...Claire has gotten funny, our house is getting ruined and Cato has gotten more injuries then when he was in the hunger games"
"Nick I understand but she's a sweet girl and we owe it-"
"We owe nothing to that girl"
Cupcake looked down at the ground and closed her eyes. Why didn't they want her here? Maybe they were right.
"Dad she's my girlfriend and I have to be there for the child!" Cupcake looked up and was surprised to hear Cato's voice. "I love her and-" she listened as Cato was suddenly cut off
"What if her parents deicde to take her back to the Capitol hmm? What are you going to do...Live with them?" Mr Hadley asked, angrey. "I will disown you son!"
She heard a pause and then Cato answered "I-i guess I wouldn't be able to see the child then..and our relationship would end.."
Cupcake's heart shattered and she felt tears well up in her eyes. She walked away and made her way to her room. Why would he say that? Once inside her room she took a deep breath and looked around. She breathed deeply in and out and when that didn't work she started packing her bags. She was speechless at what Cato had to say. She angrily threw her reading lamp at the closet and the bulb smashed instantly. She got all her makeup and shoved it off the dresser making one giant mess on the floor. She pushed over the bed side table and screamed. She could hear footsteps but she didn't care. Cato,Mr Hadley and Natalie all burst into the room.
"Cupcake!" Mr Hadley shouted. Cupcake ripped off the necklace she had on that Cato had given to her and she threw it out the window. All her anger was out and she broke down into soft sobs. She heard stomps and knew Cato had left the room. Mr Hadley also left but Natalie leaned down and took Cupcake's arm "You heard didn't you?" Cupcake didn't want to lie and she nodded.
"Dear your parents are going to be here tomorrow...Do you think you will go home with them?"
Cupcake looked up and she stared at Natalie before cupping her face in her hands "I'm grateful for everything Natalie but it's obvious that Cato doesn't want to be there for the child because if he truly did he'd come back to the Capitol if I was forced to move."
Natalie nodded in understanding. "Dear he loves you to bits..He's just scared" Cupcake nodded and stood up "I-i can't believe I just did this.." she looked around at the room "I'll clean in up Nat-"
"Don't worry dear" she kissed Cupcakes head and walked out.
Later at night, Cupcake lay curled up watching the tv. Cato hadn't spoken to her all day and hadn't even glanced at her. He was out with his friends and had been sience earlier in the evening. She took a deep breath and tried not to think about it. She heard the door handle moving around and heard someone curse outside at the sound of keys dropping. Cupcake stood up and walked to the door and unlocked it. She hesitated a moment before opening it. Cato stood there, bent over, trying to find his keys. He looked up and narrowed his eyes. When he found his keys he stood up and pushed past Cupcake, making her stumble backwards. Cupcake shut the door "Cato I'm sorry!" she called after him. He turned around "You're sorry? You are sorry?!" he yelled "You think I care!?" Cupcake stepped back "Babe I-" He cut her off and glared daggers into her "You are unbelievable..You think I really meant what I said! I was saying that to get my dad off my case" he growled "You don't know me well enough to know I'd go anywhere with you" Cupcake opened her mouth to speak but Cato raised his hand "Let me finish!" he hissed. Cupcake nodded "Because of your actions today I don't want anything to do with you!" he shouted turning towards the stairs. He started walking up them but turned around and let out a sigh "And I don't want anything to do with the child."
