Cato
I laid Peeta down after he got a shower and tucked him into bed. I kissed him and turned out the light, and I walked downstairs.
"What happened up there?" Clove asked in worry.
"We need to talk, everybody...Some serious shit has happened to Peeta that has destroyed his mental health..."
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Johanna asked, her jawbone going in and out.
"Finnick raped Peeta two months ago. In his school parking lot. At night."
"WHAT?!?" everybody shouted.
"Shhhh!!!!" I said. "Hes asleep."
"How dare he do that to him? Peeta is such a sweet guy...." Cashmere said, her temper flaring.
"Thats why we need to take matters in our own hands. We cannot keep letting him do this to each and every one of us." I retorted.
"But how do we know it really was Finnick?" Gale asked skeptically.
"He specified him down to a T."
I shot back.
"Okay, first thing Monday, hes a goner...." Johanna said as her and Clove began to leave.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I have a date tonight" Clove quipped as she shut the door.
I began to worry because I knew what Clove could do. Add Johanna and shit could get real.
JohannaI walked with Clove to her house in the moonlight. We had enjoyed ourselves at the totally awesome party...and now we knew Finnick was a rapist. We always knew Finnick wasn't all the way there mentally, but we never thought he would go this far.
"We have to do something." Clove whispered in the cool air.
"Hold up what do you mean by we?" I asked.
"I mean WE have to help Peeta somehow...." Clove shot back.
"I thought you hated him." I retorted.
"I did but I realize now that Peeta isn't so bad after all...he is just misunderstood. I will always stand by Cato and I'm gonna stand by Peeta too."
"All because of Cato? Are you just doing this because of Cato? Girl, you gotta do it for Peeta too and not just because of Cato..." I snapped.
"I want to do this for Peeta too. He's a sweet guy who has had a rough life. I really want to get to know him." Clove snapped back.
We were very similar. We just came from different backgrounds.
"I was in love with Cato once. He was my everything. Then when Peeta caught his eye I was so angry at him. I had to come to terms with it." Clove started to cry.
My heart thumped a little when I saw her like that. She was very pretty when she cried. I looked at her more closely and I noticed how fine she really was...but no I couldn't be in love! But yet I was....
I hugged Clove close to me. I could now see what Cato saw in Peeta, what Cashmere saw in Katniss, and what I saw in Clove...However, we were all out to get our revenge......
