The Liar and The Lover || Clato

Epilogue

Clove's POV

I was awoken by another nightmare at the middle of the night.

It's been 3 days since I was back here in our district. Reuniting with my family was emotional. My mother keeps on sobbing because of happiness. My brother wants  to become a Victor too, he's 14 and is one of the best in training. My father was very exultant, I have accomplished in following his footsteps.

But it wouldn't be possible without Cato.
They should be thanking him.

The moon shines through the curtains, it feels so inviting. I sat at the window sill,  adoring how good the stars look tonight. I started scribbling on the paper.

Oh how I wish you'd see the stars with me right now.

But I know you're looking from up above.

I hope you're happy up there.

I'll do fine so don't worry too much.

I'm a Victor now, and you're the reason why I made it back here.

They'll always remember you being one of the best in district 2.

They'll always remember that you loved me.

I saw your dad crying in your grave, he loves you.

Dane's already a peacekeeper now, he told me you're stupid. Maybe you were but I'm worser than you. I know he misses you.

I'm sorry for everything.

I became so selfish.

I thought becoming a Victor is what I really wanted.

I can't believe I was tricked into believing that.

I'm such a horrible liar.

I should've tell you more, than just I love you.

I should've tell you how much you mean to me while you're still alive, now I'm only writing it in a paper.

I should've tell you that I don't want to lose you, just to give you more reason to stay.

I should've listened to Enobaria, maybe we make it back home together.

I should've fought for our love, you tried and I didn't.

I should've defy the odds with you, win or lose it doesn't matter as long as we're together.

Tears started to drop in the paper.

I love you Cato.

I'll say it a million times just for you to know.

If there's another life, it'll be you that I'll love over and over again.

Just as I curled up on my knees, sobbing, rain started to pour.

"I'll be waiting Cato."
