Through These Doors (PeetaxCato)

Chapter 13-All The Reasons Why

Cato

I looked at Peeta while he cried in my arms...he was beautiful all over. Clay was so unsatisfactory compared to him....what had I done?

"Peeta?" I softly asked.

He just sobbed onward.

"Peeta...talk to me. This is hard enough as it is!" I said, silently weeping my own tears.

"How could we do this, Cato? This wasnt fair to either of us! This is my fault." he sobbed.

"No, Peeta, its mine....I drove you away...this was my fault." I cried now in full force as I said this.

"Cato....nothing has been your fault...I love you and need you more than anything in this world." Peeta said shakingly

"I do too....it just took us a while to realize it. But why? Why did we?" I asked as my baker boy nestled closer to me.

"Because I thought you didnt love me anymore..." Peeta choked.

"Baby, I do. I really do. You are still cute and funny and sexy and...and...and everything a guy would want!" I reassured him.

"Then why did I feel so alone?" Peeta asked in a sad tone.

"Because you weren't the only one...I thought you only loved me out of obligation...that because my parents died you had to stay behind..." I answered.

"No, Cato, I did it because I am in love...with...you! I know that what I did was unexcusable, but I am still in love with the hot guy in the bakery that afternoon, and he is the only one for me!" Peeta said as his tears flowed harder.

"Then lets just put this all aside, and refocus on each other. It will take time to rebuild trust, but no matter what, I love you." I said as I wrapped Peeta up in a big hug and we fell asleep.

I stared at Peeta and Cato through the window and I was crying tears of joy for them. Now don't go nuclear on me and call me a Peeping Tom because Clay dragged me into it, and plus I wanted to see them work it out, if only from a distance!

I honestly was so proud of what they were doing....if only they knew how inspiring they truly were! If only I had the girl to make my life seem easier!

Hannah Baker was my girl and I blew it...I could have had a wonderful life with her and had a family, but my worthless popularity mattered more, and I lost my chance at happiness. Now I must go back and pick up all the pieces, because Hannah would want me to....

Peeta

I wanted to believe Cato, but I simply wasnt sure....I didn't know whether or not he was trustworthy. Where had we gone wrong? What had we become? Apparently nothing like before....

Maybe I strived too hard, maybe I wanted the perfect Cato, and it was too much. Maybe I wasnt supposed to be the perfect Peeta for him....

All I knew was that I was gonna make him happy, and this time go back to going with the flow....
