Sorry Clove

Thank you for all the reviews! I hope you like this story and I hope to update soon.

Cato`s POV

I feel bad instantly as Clove storms out of my room. I do not like getting in fights with her but really I was angry. I guess I`m not really myself. It`s hard to explain but when I`m angry I do things I will regret later. I feel uncomfortable with going back to the dining room so I decide to just go to bed. We all need our rest before the games anyway.

I can`t fall asleep though instead I think about Clove. I think about her dark brown hair and her freckles. I think about the way her eyes shine in the moonlight and the way her hair falls perfectly in a straight line. I think about her foolish grin and her silly laugh. I think about the happiness I feel when I make her smile. I think about the life I could have had with her; the children I could have watched playing in the sun light. I do not know why it had to be like this and why it happened to us. One thing I do know is that one of use will have a future but just with someone else. I finally fall asleep with Clove`s beautiful face in my mind.

I`m wandering through a field. My shirt is plastered to my body form sweat; I must have been walking a very long time. I am weaponless but I am not worried. I don`t remember anything, and I don't remember Clove dyeing so I decide to look for her. I start at the cornucopia and I make my way for there. I can see her she is standing just in the mouth of the cornucopia. I notice now that I am holding plates. Every time I step closer to Clove I get angrier and angrier. I am now only an inch away from her and I am fuming. I find myself lifting my arm, ready to throw. I can't control my actions and I throw the plates. I scream as the plate connects with Clove`s forehead producing a steady strand of blood. I flinch as I start screaming I can't control it. "WHAT" I scream. "WHAT THE HELL CATO WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU THROW THOSE PLATES" "BECAUSE I WAS ANGRY AN EMOTION YOU KNOW WELL HUH CLOVE "as we keep screaming I start to recognize the conversation. "WELL LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER" it's the conversation (more like argument) we had last night. Clove`s head starts bleeding more heavily life threateningly. I want to run to her to help her but I can't get my limbs to move. "Clove" I yell "Clove". I try to run to her again but my limbs feel like jellow. I fall to the ground. The sound of my muscular body hitting the hard earth is accompanied by the boom of Clove`s cannon.

I wake up staring into Clove`s beautiful eyes. "Are you okay Cato? Your screaming was so loud I could hear you next door". "Sorry" I mumble. "You were even screaming my name" I blush. "I I was I" "Having a nightmare?" "Yea". "I`m so sorry Clove about last night my dream made me realize we can't be fighting we don't have time to fight" I say with a pleading expression. "I know Cato I know". I`m momentarily shocked she caved so fast. Clove is not one to forgive so easily. I pull her in for a hug, then a kiss. We stay like that for a while kissing. I then make room for her in my bed and she snuggles down beside me. I hug her close to me kissing her neck. We fall asleep together wrapped in each other's arms. Tied in each other's embrace.

Morning

Morning came much too quickly and when I woke up Clove was not there. I`m guessing she went back to her room knowing we were going to be woken up. Speaking of woken up I hear a loud nock on the door. "Rise and shine sleepy today is another big day". I scowl and hop out of bed.

I take a quick shower making sure to press the right buttons this time. I dress in black shorts and a white t-shirt. I know that I will have to get ready for the interviews anyway but I don't really care. I walk slowly out of my room and over to Cloves. I fly back as Clove opens the door. She smile and laughs at me "Scared you Cato?" she asks. "No "I say "Surprised me that's all". "Oh okay macho man, I'm going to go eat". I watch as Clove skips down the hall, she's in a good mood.

We eat a large breakfast. Eggs, Bacon, Fish and soup, all fancy capitol stuff. Back in district 2 I usually only eat an apple. I sigh oh I wish I was just back in 2 going to training with Clove, beating up some kids. "So the interviews are today" Cerbon says "What angles do you think they should use Enobaria?" "Cato weak and cute and Clove funny and dumb" "Be real" I scoff not finding her statement funny. Clove doesn't either "How about Cato a ruthless killing machine or me sly, sexy, cruel and monstrous". "Fine" Enobaria says "Maybe not sexy for you Clove. I laugh and Clove glares at me. "Fine" she snaps glaring at everyone.

After we finish are food we are brought into a fancy room with Zura. "Okay" she says "You have to be proper, lady and gentlemen like" me and Clove laugh. "I`m serious". She hands Clove a pair of huge heels. "Where are my heels?" I ask "Oh um do you want some" Zura asks biting her lip. "No he doesn't he`s just being an idiot" Clove says sticking her tough out at me. Zura frowns "This is going to be a long day".

After we sit through Zura Clove and I are taken by our prep teams. "Ready to be made beautiful?" Jerrafina asks. "Just get it over with" I plead. They get to work with waxing my arms and legs getting all the unwanted hair of my body as they say. They add some body oil to my muscles again. Serbariana dresses me in a grey tuxedo. I have a white dress shirt and the inside of my jacket is light blue. It's folded out at the collar so you can see the color.

I am brought down under the stage and I find Clove waiting for me. She is standing with Marvel, Glimmer, Shimmer and Neptune. She is dressed in a short red dress that is tight at the top and poofs out at the bottom. She also has on light brown hunting boots. She smiles and waves to me as does Shimmer. I smile back and jog over to them. I laugh when I see Marvels face there is a huge bruise that's a purple black color. Marvel glares at me. We stand in line and I watch as Glimmer skips on stage. Shocked at her see through pink dress.

Clove`s POV

I scowl as I watch Glimmer step onto the stage in a see through pink dress. I feel a little nervous as I stand in line behind Marvel. Glimmers interview goes by quick and so does Marvel`s. Next thing I know I am skipping onto the stage. I am momentarily blinded by the bright lights and the roaring crowd. I quickly get into the role though and I grin and wave at the crowd. I walk over to where Caesar Flickerman is sitting. I shake his hand and sit in the chair beside him waiting for the interview to start. "Welcome Clove welcome" Caesar starts "Are you ready for the games?" I grin "Hell yea ready to start killing I`m getting tired it`s really boring sitting around all day" the crowd laughs. "So what are your skills Clove?" I`ll leave that to your imaginations until tomorrow". "Okay Clove so what made you volunteer?" "Um duh to kick some butt and win these dam games" "Well that's Clove folks". I laugh and skip of the stage glaring at district 12 as I go by. I`m surprised at how fast the interview went but I can't complain. I walk back to my room in silence.

I wait for Cato in the dining room with Zura, Enobaria and Cerbon. They all pat me on the back saying I did great. I watch the other interviews on TV. I notice that Katniss spends the time giggling and spinning around in her stupid dress. Pathetic. I am momentarily shocked as I hear Peeta stammer out "Because well because she came here with me". I scoff wow Peeta, wimp. I hear someone laughing behind me and I turn around to see Cato on the floor. I walk over and put my foot on his chest. "Got you now Cato" he responds by grabbing my ankle and pulling me of my feet. I end up on top of Cato giggling.

I look up to see Enobaria and Cerbon staring at us looking shocked. I quickly get of Cato and stand up, I know I am blushing. "Well well well more star crossed lovers huh" "Like your to talk" Cato sneers while sitting up. This leaves me confused but I don't ask. "Whatever Cato but don't let the other tributes know or they will use it against you" Enobaria says "Obviously" I say.

We then head for dinner. We eat dinner silently, still embarrassed. After dinner I take Cato`s hand. It does not matter if they see anymore. I lead him into my room and push him onto my bed. This is going to be a long night.
