CATO POV:

I can't believe that this low life son of a bitch just came in here and proposed to the love of my life. Yeah, I said it, Clove Sevina is my soulmate. I was going to propose to her tonight. I looked over at Clove, if she said yes I guess I will have to accept it. I love her and I want her to be happy.

"No," did she just say no? That just made me the happiest man alive.

"No? Did you just say no to me?" asked Ky, getting up.

"Yes I did. I want to become Mrs. Ludwig, not Mrs. Markham." That made me smile even more. I knew she loved me, she even chose me over some other guy. I looked at Clove and she smiled back at me. She started to walk to me with her back turned to Ky. But then I saw him, he grabbed the tv from our living room and raised it over his head. My smile dropped immediately, she didn't notice, so she kept on walking. I was just about to jump at Ky when he brought the tv down on Clove's head. I heard a sickening crack and then all hell broke loose. I tackled him like the beasts in the games tackled me. I growled and I starting punching me. I was so mad that I grabbed the glass that shattered from the tv and shoved it in his neck, I found the greatest pleasure watching the life slip from his eyes. I whipped Ky's blood off my hands and ran to Clove. She looked just like she did when Thresh tried to kill her. I checked her pulse, it was faint, she was going to die if I didn't get help. I gathered her in my arms and ran to the hospital. Luckily thanks to all my training, I got to the District 2 hospital in 2 minutes flat. Once in there I screamed,

"HELP MY GIRLFRIEND IS DYING" the doctors and nurses looked over to see the victor of the 74th hunger games in my arms. That was enough for them to start running. Once they collected Clove out of my arms I went crazy, screaming for her, screaming like an animal. Finally they knocked me out. I woke up groggily and remember what happened.

"Where's Clove?" I asked to a nurse, she looked up and said,

"She's fine dear, she's just sleeping. You should rest now to," but I needed to see Clove, I started freaking out. This is what they did in the capitol when I woke up, they wouldn't tell me where Clove was. I jumped out of my bed and ran until I heard Clove screaming.

"WHERE'S CATO?" I bolted into the room and saw her. Her head was bandaged, but besides that she looked fine. I was so happily when I heard the steady beeping of her heart monitor that I kissed her. She happily kissed back.

"I thought I lost you," I murmured.

"Yea, but you're not loosing my that easily."

The rest of the time in the hospital went fine, all we really did was kiss. Finally the bandages came off her head and it was her last night in the hospital. When I knew she was asleep, I ran into our shared home and I found the pasta box where I hid the ring. I looked at it, it was green, her favorite color, with 2 small diamonds on the side, and one large diamond in the middle. Inside the band was written 'Cato and Clove'. I closed the box and ran back to the hospital. I fell asleep quickly, dreaming about her saying yes.

Finally I woke up, seeing that Clove was still asleep, I brushed my teeth, changed and brushed my hair. When she woke up she smiled at me and I kissed her. I knew that I was ready to propose.

I got down on one knee and said, "Clove Sevina. I have loved you ever since I met you. You bring the happiness to my life, you have made me complete. When you told me you loved me for the first time in the arena, I felt like the happiest person alive. When you turned down Ky Markham for me, I felt infinite. Please let me make you happy and loved for the rest of your life. Clove Sevina, will you marry me?" I looked up at her, her eyes were watering. After a few moments, I was getting nervous, maybe she would say no?

"Yes, Cato Ludwig, I will marry you," she jumped in my arms and we kissed the most passionate kiss we've ever had. I slid the ring on her finger, where it would belong for eternity.

"I love you Clove Sevina,"

"I love you too, Cato Ludwig."

THEY'RE ENGAGED! btw in the last chapter, the names Ky and Cassia were from the book Matched, I highly recommend the book.
