"I'm going to miss the food." Cato says, making me laugh. "Cato, are you for real?" he nods, "Yup." I shake my head, and continue staring out the window. "I love you, Cato." he hugs me, "I love you too." I stand on my tippy-toes to kiss him, but he turns his head away, making me kiss his cheek. I groan, "What now?"
"In the arena, you were mad at me." I shake my head, "I was in the training center, but not the arena."
he sighs, and walks away, like that. Whats his problem? I roam the train some more, and come across Brutus' room. "look, Cato. people think that you liked Glimmer, but now your engaged. You're a player-" "No, im not. clove is the only one I love." Cato cuts him off. I quickly walk around the corner, and cato storms out. I walk into Brutus' room, and tackle him. "WHAT WERE YOU SAYING TO HIM?" I spit. "Why would I tell you?" he snarls. "Because, I can make this look like you were hurting me." he scowls, and shuts the door, locking it. "You really want to know what I was telling him? I told him he would have to kiss other girls beside you since he 'liked' Glimmer." Rage boils in my blood, and I lunge at him, slapping him across his left cheek, leaving a small dark red handprint. He looks at me, and growls, and lunges at me. He pulls his fist up, about to punch me, whenever there is a pounding at the door. "BRUTUS!!" Cato cries. "I CANT FIND CLOVE!!" Brutus and I exchange glances, and I hide under Brutus' bed. Brutus opens the door, and Cato stumbles in, panting, obviously out of breath. "Cato, what are you doing here?" Brutus asks. I peek out from under the bed, and cato is searching for me in here. "I cant find clove!" he shouts. he looks at brutus' left cheek, and then pins him down on the ground. "WHERE IS SHE?" Cato roars. brutus doesn't say anything, and then cato grabs his chin, making brutus look at him. "I ASKED YOU A QUESTION, WHERE IS SHE?" Cato sobs. it hurts me dearly, seeing Cato like this, but hes facing the wall, so I slip out from under the bed, and tip toe out the door. Brutus glances at me, and I scurry out, just before cato turns to see me.
I walk in the door, like I don't know whats going on. "CATO!!" I shout, he turns, and runs towards me, hugging me. "where were you?" he says in my hair. "wandering throughout the train, when I heard shouting, I came." Cato holds me in his arms for a while, and I start to get worried, "Um... Cato?" I ask. "yes, clover." I squeeze my way out of his arms, and drag him outside of Brutus' room, into the lounging car. "are you okay?" I ask him. he nods, "now that I know you're safe." I smile, and he kisses me, for hours, it seems, and when I finally let go, I stand up, and yawn. "im tired, im going to sleep." Cato stands, and fake yawns, putting his arm around me, and I laugh. "I love you, Cloverly." I look up at him, gazing into his bright blue eyes. "Another nickname?" He nods, and He walks me to my room. I kiss him goodnight at my door, and walk in. "Goodnight Cato." I say. "Night Clover." I shut the door, and change into fuzzy pajama shorts, and a black tank top. I put my hair in a messy bun, then I wash my face. I look at myself in the mirror, and start counting the freckles on my nose. Im at 27, when theres a knock on my door. I open it, and Pearl is there. "What did you do to Brutus?" she snaps. "shhhhhh." I say dragging her in. "he wouldn't give me answers, then he gave me an answer, I got mad, and slapped him. Cato cant know." she rolls her eyes, "Just this once missy." she hisses, and leaves. I crawl under my covers, and I fall into a dreamless sleep.
