I Swear I Won't Forget You - 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤

I Missed You, Cato

I'm shaken awake gently. I open my eyes slowly and focus on the object above me. Marvel. I rub my eyes and look around. I'm in a bedroom, it looks just like the one I stayed in before the games in the Tribute Center. Marvel is the only one in here with me.

"Hey." Marvel whispers sweetly with a crooked smile.

"Hey." I say and sit up in the bed.

"Cato and Snow explained everything to me, that Cato is his grandson, that you are the Savior, the whole Glimmer mix up . . ." He trails off. He is still wearing his arena clothes.

"Yeah, how's your leg?" I ask, trying to change the subject from Cato.

"It's fine, I got it fixed up." He puts his leg up onto the bed and lifts up his pants. The cut is nearly gone.

"Woah," I look at his cut. "Um, where's everyone else?" I ask.

"They're all in the living room, except for Snow. Oh, and by the way, we're in the District 1 rooms in the Tribute Center until Snow gets you a place to live permanently. He has announced that you are the savior, so you can't leave." He frowns.

"What? Live here? What about you guys?"

"Peeta and I will live in Capitol houses. Cato has decided to live in Snow's mansion. He told me about what happened between you and him, the fight." Marvel grabs my hand and helps me out of bed. I thought Cato hated Snow, why is he living with him?

"Oh." I say with a simple nod and we walk out of the bedroom. Cato and Peeta are sitting on the couch, they both looks at us.

"Hey, you alright?" Peeta asks as I walk to a chair and plop myself down in it.

"Yeah." I say quietly. It's really strange talking while Cato is in the room. I don't know what to feel about him. Sad? Angry? Cato is staring at me, but I don't know his expression because I'm not looking at him.

"Um, Marvel, do you wanna go explore?" Peeta asks. I can tell that they're making an excuse to leave Cato and I alone, to make up I guess. Marvel nods and they both get up and walk out the door. I don't say anything, I just stare at my hands.

"Clove, I'm sorry. I was wrong." He breaks the silence.

"About what? About breaking my heart? I didn't even know what I did wrong." I say. I can feel my eyes filling up with tears.

"You have no idea how horrible I feel. After you talked to Snow and convinced him to let Marvel and Peeta go and you said that we could bring down the games if we try, that we could bring peace to Panem, I lost it. I thought that there was no chance that we could ever do that, I got mad. I said things I didn't mean. And I didn't know that you couldn't help but try to bring peace. You're the legendary savior, it's what you're destined for." He kind of spit all of that out fast, like he wanted to get it out. I look up at him and think. He's apologizing? I think I finally understand now. I went to Snow complaining to let my friends go, we made a deal that if he let them go, that we'd be the Capitol sweethearts and host the Games. I didn't even ask Cato. Now I feel like I need to apologize.

"No, Cato, I'm sorry. I should have asked if you agreed to Snows deal." After I say that, Cato looks at me, locking a stare. He jumps up and runs up to me, we meet each other with a kiss. Oh, how I've missed this. I didn't know that until now. I give him a long, passionate kiss until I feel him smirk. I pull back and we both stare into each others eyes.

"I love you." He says.

"I love you more." I smile.

"I love you most." He kisses me again. I didn't know that I missed him so much until now. He runs his fingers through the tips of my hair. I wrap my arms around his neck and place one hand on his jaw. He wraps his arms around my waist. I just want to save this moment and replay it over and over again. I have never felt more safe and happy. I don't want to let go, ever. I run my fingers through his blonde hair on the back of his head and feel a smirk. Suddenly, the door opens and we both step away from each other. Marvel walks in and Peeta is behind him.

"You guys cool?" Marvel asks. We both nod, blushing. They stand in the doorway.

"You guys want to go get some lunch?" Peeta asks.

"Sure, I'm starving. All I had in the last 24 hours is a piece of stale bread. But first I'm going to take a shower and change. You guys can go, I'll be there in fifteen minutes." I say and walk back into the bedroom.

"Okay, see you." Peeta says and they walk out of the door. I walk into the bathroom and start the shower. I grab a towel and put it on the sink. I strip and get into the shower. The water is soft and warm. There are multiple bottles labeled 'Shampoo' and 'Conditioner'. I grab the green bottles because it's my favorite color. The shampoo is peppermint smelling, so is the conditioner. This is one of the first times I've ever smelled like this before. I like the peppermint. After I get out and dry off, I put on the most normal looking things I could find in the closet, presumably Glimmer's clothes before the Games. A black long sleeved shirt that's a little to big, and a pair of black leggings, my signature color. I slip on a pair black boots and comb my dark hair.

Then, I almost run out the door, I'm very hungry. Once I get out of the apartment, I bolt down the hallway. When I get the main lobby, I stop. I have no idea where my friends are at.
