She Broke my Heart, Than Stole It

Chapter 32 Staying Here

Katniss POV

I love Peeta. I do and I need him more than Cato. I think my love for Cato was really for Peeta, I just didn't know it. The rest of the day we relaxed and I just went to bed, leaving Peeta downstairs with Finnick. As I lay there, almost asleep my phone rings. I groan and take it, picking up.

"Hey baby." its Cato! I shoot up.

"Hi Cato...sorry I just went to bed." I say trying to get rid of him.

"Awww...I wanted to talk to my kitty." he says. I shake my head and sit up a little more.

"Listen...I'm staying here." I say.

"What?" he asks.

"I'm staying in 12. My brothers having a really hard time and he needs me." I say.

"Oh....well how long?" he asks.

"I don't know but I'll call you when I can."  I say.

"Alright kitty. I love you." he says but I hang up there. I can't say it back. I put my phone down and lay back down. Everything is just killing me, the thoughts, the regret, the cheating. I close my eyes as I hear the door open. I hear light footsteps before Peeta climbs into bed with me, locking his arm tightly around me.

"Good night Kitty." he whispers kissing my neck. I sigh and try to fall asleep, trying not to think of what I'm doing to Cato.

~The Next Morning~

I open my eyes but I don't feel good, after a long night of barely sleeping but only thinking of what I'm doing to Cato. I love Peeta and I chose him but its not really fair for Cato. He has such a sweet heart and I don't wanna crush it. I have to break up with him but how?

"Kitty? Whats wrong?" Peeta asks just than I notice he awake.

"I just...don't wanna hurt Cato. I love you and want you but I still don't want him heartbroken." I say. He sits up and sighs.

"Why don't you just break up. Tell him...you know. You were just depressed cause of me." he says.

"I don't know." I say looking down.

"It'll be hard and hurt him one way or another. Don't matter how you sugar coat it." he says.

"Your right...I know you are." I say. "I'll call him later."

"Alright, I don't wanna push you into anything." he says rubbing my back. I nod and we get out of bed, leaving the room and walking down to the living room. I have to tell Cato....but I don't know how. How am I gonna do this? How should I break somebody's heart?
