Chapter 25

Bricks

"So Clove, what do you plan on doing when you get back to District two?" Caesar, obviously sensing my discomfort, tried to change the subject.
"Uh, I think I need a moment" considering it wasn't a live show, I decided just to storm of the stage. I even left behind my heels, knowing they would prevent me from running off so angrily.
I couldn't believe what Cato had done. He was about to kill me?! After everything we had been together! He told me he loved me! I mean, imagine someone who told you they loved you and then killing you! Who the fuck does that?
I was like a tornado; stomping through backstage, knocking over any thing and anyone in my way. I found myself sitting on my bed, crying my eyes out. I took out my hair and tore my dress so it was shorter and easier to sit in. When I heard the door creaking open, I shoved my face in a pillow so no one would see me crying. "Go away"
I heard footsteps inch closer to my bed. "Go away, please" I felt the person sit down on my bed. It was definitely only one person, but the person was lighter than Cato. I finally looked up and saw the last person I was expecting to see.
"Hey" Sam Cavalry smiled, rubbing my back comfortingly like I had when she had visited me before the games. It seemed like a lifetime ago.
"Sam? What are you doing here?" I straightened up.
"What? Not excited to see me?" She asked with a smirk.
"No, I- I mean I am" I rubbed a tear from my eye, "but why?"
"We'll since your dad is dead, he couldn't come visit you. They wanted your closest relative to come stay with you in the Capitol while they're finishing up the victor's process. But since your cousins family, on your moms side, couldn't come up from district four since its prime fishing season, they asked for your closest friend. So I decided to come" she shrugged. I guess that's why our friendship was always a little awkward. We never really got to know each other better before we considered ourselves friends, but it was nice to have someone close to me. A girl close to me.
"I'm glad you came"
"I'm glad I came too" she picked up the expensive looking clock off the bedside table. "They've got it nice here in the Capitol, don't they?"
"Yeah, just a bit. You wait until you have a proper Capitol dinner, then you'll be amazed." I laughed, to which she smiled in reply.
"It's good to see you happy."
"Well," I took a shaky breath, "considering my boyfriend tried to kill me and my reaction to that was just filmed for national television, I'm just peachy" I said sarcastically.
"Clove!" Herb, the escort, came running through the door. "Clove Eddings where the-" she spotted Sam. "Who are you?"
"Buzz of Herb, I'll be down in a sec" Herb, her ego obviously bruised, fixed her wig and trotted off.
"You better get back to your interview."
"Yeah" I frowned. "You can meet Enobaria and talk to her while I finish my interview!" Ad like a kid in a candy store, I lead off Sam back to the interview. When I got there, I spotted Enobaria leaning against the wall, tossing a coin in her hand. "Enobaria, meet Sam. Sam, Enobaria. Now you two kids have fun, got to go." I smiled to Enobaria, who looked at me murderously.
I smoothed my hair and returned to my seat, noticing that now Cato's foot had been patched up while I was gone.
"Clove, nice to have you back" seeing as the cameras were off, I was allowed to be rude.
"Yeah yeah, let's just make this fast." I waved my hand dismissively. The cameras started again.
"So, Clove, what's next for you."
"We'll, Caesar, I'm gonna go home, settle into my victors house, find a new boyfriend, and start to rebuild my life, brick by brick."
