A very Clovely story

Chapter 3: 3 years ago and our first kiss

I cant believe 3 years have passed. I am 15 and Cato is 17. We are still friends, a lot more than 3 years ago. Joan volunteered in the 72 annual Hunger Games, 2 years ago.. He made it to the final 2. The girl from 4 killed him with a knife. I watched in horror as my brother got his throat slit. He looked right in the camera, with those beautiful green eyes of him and smiled. I couldnt understand what was going on. I was 13 at the time. He then started to open his mouth and he silently said, "I love you Clovie!". I stood there. Just stood there as my caring brother took his last breath. The girl from 4 was nice enough to close his eyes and she cried a little when she found out that Clovie was his little sister. I hate her. Just as much as Cato hates the Capitol. She killed my brother! Right in front of my eyes. I will never forgive her ever. And now i am 15. I remember the clothes Joan had when they took him to the games. He had a blue shirt with grey pants. He said he would come back and that we would never have to worry about hunting. But his promise was untrue. I am 15, and I must forget the painful past, but preserve the good memories. I meet Cato by the stream where we first met. Today is the reaping the the 74th hunger games. In every Hunger Games we always have this speech that says that if we both get reaped we will make it to the end, the 2 of us, and then Cato would kill himself to let me live. Why? I dont know. He just loves me that much. He gives me the speech in the rock and then leans in and kisses me. His lips feel warm against my nervous lips. He then looks at me in the eyes and says, "I love you so much" "I love you too, with all my heart. We hunt for a while, and get some food. We always divide the food in equal parts when we hunt together. Cato's family is poor too. I just stare at him, at those strong arms, and blue eyes. He smiles and says "You have the most beautiful eyes in the world. I mean, they are as dark as the night, but bright at the same time. They confuse me. But I love it, because I love you. And your lips, dont get me started. They are as pink as the rose I gave you on that Valentine's day dance when you were 13. And that hair, dark as the night, wavy and with that natural strip of blond, it makes me see contrast between day and night. You are truly perfect. To me" He leans in kisses me. He truly loves me. He backs away and I smile and he smiles with that smile that made me fall in love with him in the first place. You know he isnt that bad. He is always there for me. He confessed everything he liked about me so maybe I should do it too. I smile and say, "Cato, when I first saw you, you lit my world up. Your blue eyes were as bright as the sky that day,and your hair was as blond as gold. But everything about you is amazing. You make me feel protected and safe, and happy! You make me fall in love every time I see your smile, so keep on smiling." This time, I put my arms around his neck and kiss him. I can feel him smiling, so I do too. You know, maybe we have a chance to love. Maybe we do...But it is certain, I love him.
