I do not own the Hunger Games or any of its Characters.
My own OC and Cato from the Hunger Games
FINALLY I HAVE THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR YOU GUYS!
Chapter 17:
Closing the bathroom door behind me I sigh, finally I am free… Its killing me hiding what Cato's father did to me. I know Cato knows something is up. I walk over to the bathtub and turn on the water, closing the plug and letting the hot water run.
I poor a small bottle of bubbles into the tub and watch as the foam fills in. I quickly undress and throw my clothes to one of the walls and step in, shutting off the water and sliding down into the water. I look over and see a small red hair elastic, and tie my hair messily into a high bun on my head and lean back.
I close eyes and listen I hear the door open and close, laughter and a small clicking of wheels. I try to ignore the laughing and quickly open my eyes, looking out the large windows in front of me.
The rain has left small water droplets on the window and I can clearly see the moon appearing in the sky.
I lay my arms out to the side of me and fix my positing in the tub before closing my eyes once more and sighing. The hot water seeming to make all my thoughts disappear. No more wondering how this secret is going to affect our relationship… if we ever had one in the first place. I don't know what to think of Cato and I.
All I know now is I will never see my parents again. Never. I shake my head and slide deeper into the water letting the bubbles form around my arms and shoulders. I hear the laughter die down and the clicking of wheels go silent. It must have been the TV.
I hear soft thuds going up the stairs. I keep my eyes closed. I hear the doorknob turn. I smile, quickly getting rid of it and sliding up in the tub letting my head rest on the back of it. The door quietly clicks, and then I hear nothing. Only the, quick beating of my heart.
I open my eyes and raise an eyebrow. Didn't he come in? I shrug before taking a deep breath and leaning my head back.
I feel hands touch my shoulders and I jump, my eyes flashing open and just as quickly I relax, seeing the blue eyes I have come to adore. "You scared the crap out of me." I laugh before me smirks and kisses my forehead.
I smile and wrap my arms around his neck before turning around, pulling him down towards me. He slowly holds himself against he tub and kisses me. I smile as our lips connect, and quickly hold his face in my hands. He pulls back and our foreheads touch, his hands slowly stopping to rest on my shoulders. I close my eyes and flinch as he touches my neck.
He freezes and I quickly open my eyes. "What did he do?" He hisses leaning back and looking into my eyes. "What?" I laugh trying to change the subject. "I know something is wrong! Don't lie to me Mel!" He says holding my face in his hands. "Its not important."
I know when I said that I would soon regret it. I see him change, his touch harden, his eyes become cold and sent shivers down my spine. "Cato!" I yell as he lets me go and turns around heading to the door. I quickly jump out of the tub and throw a bathrobe on closing it as I run after Cato.
I quickly tie the rope around the robe closed and grab his arm. He turns and stares at me. "Let me go Mel!" He has the front door open, his jacket on and keys in his hand. "Don't do anything! Cato! It doesn't matter." I gasp clenching onto him tighter.
"He threatened you didn't he?" Cato yells pulling away. I take a deep breath and I know he knows the answer. "Son of a bitch!" He hisses before looking over my shoulder nodding and pulling away from me. "Cato! It doesn't matter!" I scream as he escapes my grip and exits the door. "Cato please!" He looks at me before getting into his sports car and driving off.
I shake my head and close the door and gasp Louise has a forkful of leftover spaghetti in his hand and Lisa sits quietly on the couch. "Hello." I smile and they nod before I quickly walk up the stairs and pull the plug on the tub. Walking into the bedroom I sigh. Why would he be so stupid and go to his father?
What will he do? Not wanting to think anymore I walkover to the closet and pull out a soft mint green nightgown, slipping off the robe and pulling it up and over my head. I hang the robe back up in the bathroom and notice I had grabbed Cato's. My pink silk robe hangs behind the door. I grab it and pull it on, before walking down the stairs.
Lisa and Louise lay together watching the TV his hands playing in her hair. "Hey." I clear my throat and they look over to me and smile. "Sorry about that." I laugh sitting on the love seat and looking at the TV. They seemed to have been watching some sort of capitol entertainment show, three pink haired women laugh and run around a room, singing and dancing.
"Shit happens." Lisa shrugs and I laugh, "Ya I guess."
"It seems you were told not to tell him hey." Lisa smiles at me and I nod, "Cato's father told me not to tell him and I didn't really, Cato just knew." Louise smiles but stays silent. "Im going to bed." He grumbled, pushes Lisa off him and he pads down the hallway and into a room I didn't even know was there.
"Hopefully nothing happens." Lisa nods turning her attention to the TV and laughs. "Lets hope so." I add falling silent and turning my attention out the window.
"Well Im off to bed." Lisa groans and pulls herself up off the coach and turns off the TV. "Night." I mumble and she skips towards the bedroom before closing the door behind her. I sigh glancing at the clock on the wall and noticing the time 11:00 PM, Cato had been gone for four hours. I shake my head rising off the love seat and making my way back up into the bathroom.
I quickly brush my teeth and walk into the bedroom. Taking off my robe and sliding under the covers.
