Beauty and the Brute||Catoniss Fanfic

Chapter 12

We're all sitting on the living room couch awaiting our arrival in twelve. It's been decided that we will be stopping there first. We're already going through district 9 so I assume we'll be there in a couple of hours.

But the thing that is really on my mind is, yes prim, but also what Cato said to me earlier. Why did he tell me I'm beautiful? It's not like he really thinks that so why would he say it.

I feel a shift in temperature near my body and realize that someone is sitting near me, way too close then they should be.

"I really did mean what I said the other night," I heard someone whisper in my ear so no one could hear and I have a good guess at who it is.

"It's fine Cato and could you scoot over a bit," I said to him.

"No, you need to know this," Cato pleads.

"No Cato I've heard enough and don't feel like dealing with it at the moment."

For the rest of the ride we sit in an awkward silence.

Then I start to fell the train slow down.

"We're here," Haymitch says.

I walk to my room and get what little belongings I have.

I come out to see everyone standing by the door waiting for the okay to go.

The only things that are running through my mind are two golden blond pigtails that I left only two months ago.
