Last chapter:
"Annie didn't want to be seen. I didn't even know who she was talking about." I say and roll my eyes.
"You can't keep running away from your problems. You know."
"I know." I say.
But as long as I don't get caught, I'll keep running.
"Annie, are the guys still going to go?" I ask. Today's Thursday and we'll be heading to the airport tomorrow.
"Yeah." She says and smiles.
"Johanna's going to drive us there so text Finn the deets." I say and we both head to the bathroom. Johanna's already dressed when we go inside the bathroom. We quickly change and I grab my stuff and wait for Annie.
"Let's go!" Johanna yells from the kitchen and I roll my eyes. She's still a bit mad about what happened yesterday but I shrugged it off.
When we arrive at The Architecture it's fairly packed. I see many people dancing.
I still don't understand how this place can be a restaurant/club and bar well I understand the bar part the bar's open while the place is a restaurant and a club but hey when the place is being ran by a drunk I understand. But why should I care? As long as I'm getting money for Prim to go to college I'm okay.
I actually need to talk to Thresh and the girls about that. We agreed that we would take two years off since we had some problems back at our houses so we agreed. That's another reason Sea followed us here, she wanted to make sure her 'kids' like she says had a good future once she was gone and I'm hoping that's a long time from now. Anyways back on track we all left for a reason.
I'm snapped out of it when I see Johanna coming towards me. She looks a bit pissed off and is glaring at everyone she sees.
"Cato's here." She says and I freeze.
"What? Where?" and as soon as I turn I regret it. There he is sitting and he has a creepy smile on his face and I scowl.
"Katniss." He says and I tense up. Memories start to fill up in my head and I feel myself slowly being suffocated. This can't be happening. I calm my breathing and I look at Johanna whose eyes show hatred. I smile a forced smile at her and bring my chin up high.
"Hello, Cato." I say. My smile has been long gone.
"I've missed you, you know." He says and I cringe. Of course he has. I think to myself. I purse my lips and nod. I remember Johanna saying-he'll come crawling back to you, they always do. I guess this is what she meant.
I sigh. Enough of this bull. "What do you want Cato?"
"I want you." He says. I'm about to say something when I feel an arm wrap around my waist tightly and I know instantly who it is. Peeta.
"Is there a problem here, love?" he says and I swear I melt.
"Who's this Katniss?" Peeta asks and Cato glares at Peeta. I smile internally, Cheshire cat smile but it's still a smile.
"I'm Cato Jennings, Katniss' ex-boyfriend. Who are you?" Cato says with a smirk.
I want to wipe that stupid smirk of his face.
"I'm Peeta Mallark. Her boyfriend." He says and Cato's smirk is gone instantly. I guess I spoke too soon.
"Listen here Cato, leave Katniss alone. If you wanted to be with her your ass wouldn't have cheated on her. I suggest you leave before I get my axe. Remember what happened last time?" Johanna says.
"And if you ever put a hand on her ever again, I will cut off your balls." Johanna says and I don't doubt it one bit.
Cato stands and looks directly at me.
"I'll see you around Katniss." He says and leaves.
I feel myself get angry. It's his damn fault I can't trust. I can't be happy with a guy. I can't love.
"Damn you, Cato! Just leave me the fuck alone." I say and glare at him as he leaves but he just laughs.
For some reason though, I know he's right. We'll be seeing each other very soon.
"You alright Katniss?" she asks and I nod.
"Yeah I'm fine-I just…remembered, that's all." I say and stare into her eyes.
"I'm ok Johanna. We'll talk when we get home." I tell her reassuringly. She knows that I'm not one that likes being defended but we also know that there's a breaking point in everyone. She nods and leaves.
"What was all that about?" Peeta asks. I sigh. Should I tell him about what he did to me? Or should I tell him later. I should tell him. I think to myself reassuringly.
"If you help me at the bar I'll tell you everything." I say and he nods. Two hours later and he knows most of what happened between Cato and I. and I know what happened between Clove and him. He really liked the girl but he knew something was wrong but his love for her blinded him so he decided to ask her to marry her anyways but that never happened.
"Are you ok?" I ask concerned. I feel like punching Clove in the face for hurting Peeta. Hurting me was one thing but Peeta, he's a good guy. He should never be hurt again.
"Yeah, I'm over her. Telling you the truth I was in love with her but I don't know…its different when I'm with you Katniss. Yeah, it may not be love but I know you feel that spark when we hold each other's hands." I know he's right but I'm too damn stubborn to admit it. I never felt this when I was with Cato. I sigh.
"Yeah, I've felt it before." I say and get up from where were sitting.
"Well it's about closing time Peeta. You should get going, were going to be leaving early tomorrow."
"Yeah, I just need to find Finn." He says and gets up from where he was sitting. He hugs me and I hug him back. I love the way he smells like cinnamon. He kisses my cheek and says his goodbye and leaves. I walk towards Annie who is now grabbing her purse.
"Where's Jo?" I ask and she points towards the break room. I see her walk out of the break room with Thresh and she nods at something he said and gives him one last kiss before we leave.
"Let's get out of here." She says and we head towards my car.
We arrive at our apartment and I head towards my room. Johanna hasn't said anything about Cato and I hope she doesn't mention his name for a while. I don't ever want to see him. I know I'm wrong though.

"Katniss! Get up!" I hear someone say but I don't bother looking up much less talking to whoever that person is.
"Johanna! She won't get up!" Great. Annie's called Johanna…or was that Madge. I don't care. I hold the pillow that's on top of my head and hold onto it tighter.
"Brainless! Get up! If you're not up by the time I get there im going to do something you won't like!" she yells from downstairs and I groan.
I get up from my bed and roll my eyes when I see Annie giving my her 'I'm sorry I had to get Johanna in this' smile.
I look at the clock. What the heck! I can have about four more hours of sleep! I look at my bed and sigh and a smile spreads onto my face.
Oh, I'm coming honey.
I think to myself. I'm about to jump onto my bed when I see Finnick Odair. In SpongeBob shorts. I look down at my shirt and he smirks when he sees it.
"I guess were triplets." He says and wiggles his eye brows in what I'm guessing is a seductive manner but it's clear that Finnick needs some more rest.
"Jo-meannie made me come all the way over here and she won't let me sleep Kitty!" Finnick whines and I smirk.
"Poor Finnie, do you need your beauty sleep?" I ask and he opens my door and yells "See Johanna! Kitty-Kat understands!" he says and I hear someone coming up the stairs. I look at Finnick wide-eyed.
"Johanna." I whisper and he pulls me towards him and holds me tightly. "I'll see you in heaven kitty!" he whispers into my ear. The door opens and I'm glad when I see blond hair instead of brown hair.
"Oh! Peeta it's you." Finnick says but doesn't let get. I don't mind really since my head is lying on his chest. Did I really just notice he's not wearing a shirt? I really do need some sleep. I close my eyes but I feel Peeta pulling me from him.
"No need to get jealous Peet. I have all I need right here." He says and hugs Annie. Huh, I forgot she was there.
I look at the clock once again. I still have plenty of time to sleep. I look towards Peeta and I look down at his shorts and noticed why Finn said we were triplets. Peeta blushes and smiles. He's shirtless too. I look at my bed and smile. It's still pretty dark out, no need for me to be up yet. I have all my clothes packed. I have my wallet inside my purse with my passport and all those dumb papers that I don't even think anyone should need to ride a stupid plain. My phones charging. I can wake up in two hours and a half and have enough time, I think to myself. I go to my bed and lay down. I feel two people lay down on each of my sides. And I feel someone's hand wrap around my waist. I don't care who it is. I put my head on the person's chest and know it's either Finnick of Peeta. I smell cinnamon and is that…cheese buns I smell too? I'm going to have to ask when we wake up from our 'beauty sleep'. I feel someone else lay down on the bed and I think its Annie.
"Thresh if there not up by now! I'm going to dump this on them!" she says.
"Johanna, just leave them. We'll come wake them up in about an hour and while there sleeping we can cuddle." I hear Thresh say and I hear a door open and close. I sigh and let the darkness over take me once again.
