She came here with me.

Chapter 34

I am awake by Cato saying, "We are back home."

I get up as fast as I can. The train has stopped. I see all of District 2 waving at us, happy we are home. I see Joanne and Willow in the crowd I can see the smiles on their faces. I can also see my mother happy I am home. I look around in the crowd and see Olivia, we both lock eyes. She nods at me while waving and clapping. She smiles at me and Cato and gives us the thumbs up. I nod at her and look around the crowd. Everyone is smiling, I can see the happiness on their faces.  Cato pulls me in for a kiss. I kiss him back for about 5 seconds. I smile and wave at the crowd. I am so happy to be home. 

Pearl takes our stuff and she walks us to Victor's Village. Where all the Victors live. 

Cato and I are neighbors in the 2 very new houses. Him and I are getting married soon, so when we get married we will live together. My house is so beautiful. It looks like the penthouse in the Capitol. Very very modern.

Pearl gives me my millions. I give her one last hug until I get to see her again. She hugs me back.

"I'm going to miss you Pearl." I say looking at her.

"I'll miss you two Clove, it was an honor getting to meet you." She says.

I wave at her and she goes to Cato's house to say her goodbyes and give him his millions. 

I start to explore my big mansion. 

I get a knock at the door and it's mom and Pearl. 

I throw my arms around them not wanting to let go. I've missed them so much. Then appears Joanne. My very best friend. I go over to her and hug her tight. I've been away from my family for way to long. 

I invite them in, they all stay for a small visit but they go. 

I am left in my dining room all by myself. 

I decide to go over to Cato's house. I knock on the door and he lets me in. 

"Cato, I'm bored." I say. 

"I am too." He replies.

"Want to go for a walk around the District, I think we've been gone for too long." I say.

He nods his head. We go outside and start to walk. 

Victor's Village is beautiful. Enobaria is my neighbor on the left and Cato is my neighbor on the right. There is a big water fountain in the middle with a garden around it. This is obviously the richest neighbor hood in District 2. 

I made my promise to Joanne and Willow and I didn't break it. I came home. I have been away in the Capitol for to long. 

Cato and I walk around the big Justice building first. Where we both volunteered and left our families to the unknown. We then walk around to the market. Where all the shops are. I see the place where Cato bought me a necklace. We then walk to our school, it was from preschool to grade 12 school. We then walk near the training center. The place I got bullied and where Cato and I became friends. We then take a walk to his parent's house. This is actually my first time meeting them, I can tell they loved me. They were so nice. We stayed for a small visit. Then we walk to where I lived before the games. I was obviously more poor then Cato. My house was smaller and older but it was still a very nice home. We visit my mom and Willow. They always love to see me. We then walk to Joanne's house. I love seeing her. I wonder how she dealt with Olivia while I was gone. Or was Olivia nice to her.

Cato and I just walk around the District. We see the peacekeeper center, it still haunts me what that one peacekeeper did to me. We then see the masonry factories. Oh didn't I miss District 2. 

Cato and I head back to our houses. We are going to have dinner together and plan our wedding. On our way home we see Olivia. 

She runs up to both of us and hugs us. I just look at Cato confused. 

"Cato, Clove?" She asks.

I nod at her and so does Cato.

"I owe you guys an apology." She says. 

"Thanks Olivia, but weren't falling for what Glimmer did to Clove."  Cato says. 

"No, I'm being honest. I treated you like crap Clove, because I was so jealous of you. I wanted to have your life. You were so good in training, Cato would non stop talk about you," She says. Olivia is starting to tear up, "I just wanted to be you so badly, I thought if I brought you down, I would feel better about myself, but I never did." She says now crying.

I look at Cato and I don't know what else to say.

"I am so happy that both of you are now home, you deserve each other and the world. You don't have to accept my apology or believe me but I just want to let you know how incredibly sorry I am." Olivia says. 

I do believe Olivia, she doesn't cry at anything, she used to be so mean but now she is so nice. She isn't who I thought she was. She is so much nicer. I never knew that she was that jealous of me. Olivia was like the barbie doll I never had. I always wanted to be her, I never knew she wanted to be me so badly. 

I hug her and say "I accept your apology." I smile.

She smiles back at me. 

"I accept your apology as well." Cato said. 

After all, under all her beauty, her pretty face was actually a nice girl who was just jealous. I never knew Olivia was like that. I always thought she was so rude with just a pretty face. But no, she is way more than that. 

She hugs me again even tighter. I hug her back. 

I never understood why Olivia was so rude to me for all those years, but she was just jealous of me. She just wanted to be me. I bet if she didn't bully me, her and I would be friends.
