Traveling Soldier

Chapter 1

Madge pov

I sit on the couch watching the 75th annual Hunger Games. I smile when I see Gale walking through the door but he looks frantic and rushed.

"What's wrong?" I say to Gale, worried.

"Bomb in Twelve- we have to go to the Meadow!" he says rushing as he talks.

"But what about my…" as I'm saying my sentence Gale runs up the stairs knowing what I was about to say.

We get into my Mom and Dad's room and my Mom is sleeping in the bed. She is on her medicine again. I shake her as hard as I can and scream in her ear she is not waking up, she is out cold. Gale gives me a look like we have to go I nod and we run out of the house.

We soon make it to the meadow; a ton of people followed us there. I soon see the Hawthornes and the Everdeens. Gale and I join them.

"Can I tell you a secret?" Posy says to me as I sit down next to her.

I nod and she says "Gale likes you, when we got to the Meadow he ran back in to town Rory tried to stop him so he could be safe but he said he needed you." He needed me, what is that supposed to mean? Just the thought makes me blush.

Vick pushes in to the conversation and says "Ya, he does like you. All I hear is 'Oh Madge is so beautiful; I wish I could just find the nerve to ask her out.'" Now my face is probably as red as a tomato.

"I never said that Vick." Gale says and gives Vick a stern look.

Gale turns to me and says "Oh, kids, don't know what they're talking about!" he blushes and I smile at him.

I think about the statement Vick said is Vick lying or does Gale really have feelings for me? I know that I have feeling for him and we have been hanging out lately. But I really did not think that it meant anything to him. And Posy's statement he would give up his own safety for me?

My thoughts are interrupted by Prim. "Hi Madge!" Prim says, trying to lighten the mood.

"Hi Prim, how are you?" I say as nice and happy as I can.

She shrugs. "Well, at least you're safe!" I say as I pet her hair. Prim and I have become very close during the Quarter Quell.

"Is Katniss safe?" Prim blurts out.

"Last time I saw she was getting in to a hovercraft." I say to Prim and she nods thankfully.

Gale pov

How could Vick and Posy do that to me? They embarrassed me! Of course what they said was true, but that does not mean that it was right telling Madge. She not was supposed to know that I was going to ask her until I did ask her. And Posy's comment about me needing Madge- I did not even want my family to know that, let alone Madge! I hope she forgets everything they said. I glance over to Madge and I see her talking to Prim. She is so good with children. That one of the reasons I need her.
