OMG! You guys rock! We've gone from 14 story alerts to 31! So here is my next chappie. We see into Haymitch's past. Enjoy!
Katniss' POV
"So did you have fun Katniss?" Haymitch said
"At what? Training? Yep it was fun" I replied
"Drop the act Katniss. I know you weren't at training?"
"Let me guess, Tattletale told you"
"Maybe he did and maybe he didn't but that's not important. I know about you and 2. You thought you could just skip training and head down to the pool which is a secret, no one knows about it. Katniss, there are camera's everywhere to film your every move I know you kissed."
"Why do you care? You drink and let your tributes die. What happens between me and Cato is our business." I yelled at him.
"Katniss, only one of you will come out. There's always only one Victor. That's why you never see love in the arena. You can't fall in love with him, it'll only end badly."
"What do you know about love Haymitch? You waste your sorrows by drinking. You don't know about love or anything. You confide in solitude."
"Shut up! You don't know anything about me. I know what's happening. I've been there. I loved someone and lost her to the Games! My Games!" Haymitch yelled
"The 50th annual Hunger Games when I was crowned Victor. I fell in love with Maysilee Donnor. But she was killed. You know I won but not what happened afterwards. The Games change your life forever. Snow killed my family Katniss. I lost everyone I loved so I consorted to drinking. I drink because it numbs the pain. Drinking may help me to forget my past but it doesn't get rid of the horrible memories I have, it doesn't rewind time. My family is dead, she is dead. I can't change that. Every year, I am forced to mentor children who will die. Katniss, this is the Hunger Games. You can't both come out. Only one. That's why you should never fall in love." Haymitch takes a scull from his bottle and leaves the room.
Cato's POV
I came out of the elevator and went straight to my room. We kissed. I made what seemed a stupid accidental mistake by kissing her but then she kissed me again. Was she in love with me too? I walk into my room to find Clove there waiting for me. She didn't exactly look pleased to see me, in fact she looked mad.
"Where were you this afternoon? Don't deny it; you weren't at training after lunch." Clove asked annoyed
"If I tell you, you can't repeat it to anyone"
"I won't tell anyone. I swear but you better have a good excuse as to why you ditched"
"Ok, I was with Katniss" I got a total different reaction from the one I was expecting
"Where! What happened? Tell me everything" Clove went from angry to happy. Total mood swing.
"Well Glimmer tried to flirt with me again. She told us about a pool below her level asking me to check it out with her. I sent her to you-"
"Yeah that part I know. She has no skill at all. Thanks a lot. I was stuck with her for the rest of the afternoon." Clove huffed
"As I was saying, I convinced Katniss to go down with me while after lunch. We snuck off before anyone came back to the training room." Did I really want to reveal what happened next?
"So what happened next? Did something happen? Oh did you kiss her?!" Clove looked at me hopefully and I nodded.
"You did! What happened?"
"Keep your voice down Clove. Yes I kissed her but what happened is that when I pulled away she kissed me back." I said smiling
"She loves you back. Yay!"
"Wait how do you know?" I asked
"God Cato are you really this dense? One she kissed you back and two, I've seen the way she looks and acts around you. Woman's intuition Cato. But you know that you have to kill her or she has to kill you. You can't both come out." She said dropping her smile.
"Yeah I know." I said dropping off
"Oh what did she say about joining the Careers?"
"She's joining us"
"Good, now let's have dinner. I'm starving" Clove said walking out of the room.
Sorry about this chappie being really short compared to my other chapters but couldn't think of what else to write from here on, so this where the chapter ends…but not the story so don't worry. R&R
