Chapter:7

Cato's POV:

Clove fell asleep soon after that but i just couldn't,not after having that depressing conversation with her,it was only once we actually started talking about it that I realised how attached ive got to her over these past few days,I couldn't lose her,I simply wasn't ready to..i don't think I'll ever be ready to and I don't think I could possibly bring myself to go on without her..I've wanted to volunteer ever since i could remember but now I've started thinking that maybe its not such a good idea after all..if you told me a year or two ago that I was going to give up my chance at extreme fame and fortune over a girl I'd only known for a few day I'd never have believed it,but clove wasn't just some girl,she was special,special to me and special to the ones around her,the thought of facing her parents after her death made me feel sick to my stomach..i didn't know if she felt the same way about me..for all i know maybe to her I am just some boy,but to me?she is much more then that to me..I hope she knows that,I hope she knows how much i care for her..I don't know why I've been thinking so negatively lately,clove is strong but she's also independent,she can look after herself if it comes to that,if i die before her that is,until then I'll make sure I stay by her no matter what the circumstances are..I'll-

"Cato..are you still awake?"Clove whispered to me sleepily,I hesitate to answer incase I end up annoying her but i eventually do"..Yeah,Is everything ok?" "Oh yeah,no everything's fine..I was just thinking"she says sitting up"Thinking about?" "You know,the usual.."she was obviously referencing the dinner with my parents the other night and what my sister had said,i try to think of something to say but she does so for me"I just realised that we never finished our 21 questions game-Why was that?" "Because you wanted us to go to sleep?Don't you remember that?" "..I must've forgot,I didn't actually wanna end that game you know,it was fun..getting to know more about you,even if you were abit stingy with the things you wanted to tell me"she laughed abit and then continued"i wish we'd been friends sooner"i noticed that her tone of voice changed..it went from happy to sad in less then a few seconds"clove-"i started but had no idea what to say.."anyways..-it's freezing down here so move over abit" "Like i said before i really don't mind-"I tried saying to her before she interupted me"calm down it's not weird unless you make it weird"she says rolling her eyes at me while smirking.

I eventually just gave up on trying to come up with ways to convince her to let me sleep on the floor because it obviously wasn't working,plus if it was really all that cold down there there was no point in doing so anyways..i hear her mumble afew words that i couldn't quite make out before going back to sleep and I figured it was about time I did the same..or atleast tried to,it took awhile of looking up at the ceiling and trying just not to think about anything before I actually ended up falling asleep but there was no point in any of it because after what I'm guessing was and hour or two of sleep at most Clove decides to wake me up,which I'm guessing took her a long time because after living with two siblings,i was very used to sleeping through noise.

"Cato!"She whisper-shouted,which i ignored the first few times of hearing it"Cato I know you can hear me!"she continued,but i just stayed where I was"Cato get up!"at this point she seemed to have gotten impatient with me and began shaking me"alright,alright I'm up!what's the rush all about?"i ask while yawning,still half asleep,she just puts her finger on her lips and points to the door with her other hand,where her parents were standing outside,calling for her to comes out,i take that as a signal to hide,the closet is the closest place so I just decide to go in there,and it's a good thing too because moments later her parents barge into her room,they don't stay for long,just enough time to make sure that she's ok,i didn't realise that she hadn't told her parents she'd be late home but i suppose there was no way she could've known i would've suggested that she could come over beforehand anyways.

"We need to figure out a way to get you out of here without my parents finding out"She says,in just as much,if not more of a rush then earlier"we could try..the window?"i suggest half-jokingly,but i know this won't work unless we have some rope,which would be a rather weird thing to find in someone's room but much to my surprise Clove has some"you go down,i can just go out the front door"she says while tieing the other end of the rope to her bed"Are you sure that's secure enough?"I ask,hoping she can't see that I'm slightly worried"I'm positive,you'll be fine,I promise"she says reassuringly before leaving the room,and she's right,I make it down within less then a few seconds"see?that wasn't so hard now was it?"

Clover's POV:

we start walking to cato's house,it's around 4:30 at this point and it's very misty,it's been very cold during the early daytime and night lately,i hope that goes away soon,neither me nor cato talk too much during this journey,again..which I don't mind so much this time,I don't know how time passes by so fast lately either..it's as if all the clocks are messed up or have been fiddled with..

"How did I end up on the bed in the first place?"I finally ask him,genuinely confused,it's the only question that comes to my mind,the only one I can think of,all or atleast most or the rest of them he's managed to give me an answer to"You have really terrible memory don't you?You're telling me you seriously don't remember?"In reply I just nod,just wanting to get an answer to my question"Well you came up into the bed by yourself..after you woke up you said you were cold and i didn't want to stop you from going into you're own bed so-"In those very moments I wanted the earth to swallow me whole..i hid my face in my hands embarrassed to say the very least,while cato just laughs,not at me,but at the situation..or atleast I hope he wasn't laughing at me-"So you just let me do that?"I muttered back,probably sounding abit annoyed in the process"Calm down Clove,it's not weird unless you make it weird"I must've said something similar to that last night because it was obvious that he was referencing something that I said to him"I regret asking now-"..i don't know what type of answer I was expecting but that certainly wasn't one of them.
