Peeta

I felt my phone buzz and I looked at it to see who texted. It was  Courtney.

"MEET ME AT THE BAKERY ASAP" it read.

She sounded urgent to me, and I ran all the way to the bakery from the park and locked the door.

Courtney was sitting in a chair at the counter abd I went behind it and put my elbows on the glass and said "Talk to me."

"Peeta, I'm scared to tell you this." she said as she started to cry.

"What?"

"C-Cato is s-sleeping....w-with...."

My heart froze and broke alk at once.

"Who is it? Tell me, I'm not mad."

"C-Clay....."she said before the dam burst.

I slowly began to cry tears of my own. How could he do this to me?

Then my heart froze again...I had done the same damn thing....

"I am so sorry, Peeta." Courtney said, starting to shed tears of her own.

Well there he went, he and I are both a freak show.

Cato

I drove home and saw the lights were out. That wasn't typical of Peeta. Then again, he hadn't been acting right lately.

I felt really bad because of the way I had made Peeta do everything...I believe this had a lot to do with screwing Clay in the car. Clay was a lot like Peeta but he could never replace my blonde baker boy.

I decided I would tell him...just be straight up. I unlocked the door and walked in.

"Where the hell have you been?" came the growl from the couch

"Whoa, Peet, whats up with you?"

"I should ask you the same damn question....or maybe I should ask Clay?" Peeta grouched.

Damn. I was caught.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"Oh a little bird....." he snapped.

I remained quiet.

"Peeta, I can explain..."

"No, Cato, because I have to tell you something....I slept with Gloss. We are both on the same level." he spat.

Hold up....he did what?

"What did you say?"

"Oh, you heard me....tell me Cato am I not good enough for you? Is Clay much better than me?"

"No, Peeta..."

"Then why did you do this to me?" he broke down in tears. He fell into my arms and cried.

All I could answer with wasb "Why did you?"
