Cato's pov

I turn away from the "crime scene" all I hear is the sounds of Katniss sobbing over him. Gosh seriously me or him I love her and I'm sick of clove. speaking of the devil. a small sob coming from the corner. it's clove. "what's wrong?"
"You kissed her. passionately , it breaks my heart that you don't love me. that thing with tom was just a fling. I still love you."
"It doesn't Matter clove you still did it and fond give me the shit that you were drunk. you were totally sober. "
She goes back to sobbing. but I feel somewhat responsible for this. Instead of walking away I kneel down to clove and hug her. I was I guess living in the moment. She looked up at me with those big brown eyes that I fell in love with ages ago. no she broke my heart and dismembered it! She can't
repair it.no matter what she or I feel.
I make my way back to the tribute living quarters. in deep thought of what just happened or what I just did. Crystalline and deserae are waiting for me in the room. they give me a stare as I walk in. Tiny footsteps approach behind me and soft sobbing. I roll my eyes knowing that it's clove. she runs up to her room and slams her door. "what did you do to her cato?" crystalline asked. "oh you didn't hear did you? yeah peeta and i got into a fight because i kissed katniss! and then clove being the bitch she is went off and started crying. and peeta well lets just say he got what he deserved." i practically screamed. crystalline and deserae stare at me in shock with their eyes wide open and there jaws dropped. "what?" i ask. "cato i knew you were violent but i didn't know you were a.... a... a brute..." deserae says softly. i grunt and storm to my room. a brute how. ha. could i be brute. he started it, he did WHY AM I GETTNG BLAMED FOR EVERYTHING. JUST BECAUSE I'M A CAREER! UGH THIS IS COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT!

as i approach my room I see the door had been left ajar. i know for a fact that no on had been in here since last year. courtesy of the capitol. but who could of had any purpose coming into my room. peacekeepers have there own homes and avoxes are not permitted in the rooms unless they're cleaning. i realise that i have been standing outside my door for 5 minutes or so wrapped up in my own thoughts to realise that clove is on my bed. "what the hell clove! are you freaking crazy?""
"no... i told you i still love you. cato."'

"no clove you dont love me you love hurting me! like you did with thomas! i admit i miss what we had but thats all gone. buried in the past. ok I'm DONE with you and i would appreciate it if you could just leave me alone! ok?"
clove is silent and her face i fallen. she looks at me with a look of despair all over her face. i can see her eyes starting to water but shes trying to hold it in. she stands up and says "well then. i see your point of view. now hurry along cato. we have a tribute dinner to get ready for."
"thank you clove for you understanding."
she gives me a face and walk off. "and cato. i will kill katniss and i wont care who gets in my way I'll kill them to. even if its you...."
