That should be me

A/N: Madge and Gale will be together but there is a war about to start. So keep that in mind. Gale isn't with her. But they will end up together. I promise :) Anyways here is the next chapter!

"Hello Madge." Mrs. Hawthorne said. "Is it ok if I see Lilly?"

I handed Lilly over to her and knocked on Gale's bedroom door. He opened the door. He was wearing some grey pants but no shirt. He looked gorgeous.

"My favorite girl," He said, kissing me gently.

"We need to talk Gale."

The happiness in his eyes faded.

"What Madge?"

"We need to end things." I said,holding back the tears. I had to be strong.

"What? Am I not good enough?" His voice broke at the end of the sentence which broke my heart.

"No you're perfect." I said, resting a hand on his bare chest. "Its my mother. She said you were a bad influence. I don't even get where she got that idea from? But she said if I didn't stop hanging out with you she will ship Lilly and I off to District 2."

"I know where she got the idea from." He said, looking down.

"What are you talking about Gale?"

"Well remember the few months we didn't talk before Katniss went to the Quell?" he asked. I nodded my head. "Well Madge, I was so angry that I was losing you and Lilly, and her, so I went out and got really drunk and your father had to get me to go home, because I was going to your house. To tell you I love you. He was angry. He told me you deserved better. He doesn't know I'm Lilly's father, but he knows something's going on between us. Madge I think he was right. You do deserve better!"

"Gale-"

"No Madge! I'm a screw up criminal, who can hardly keep his family alive, how am I supposed to provide for you and Lilly! You could be with someone like Peeta who is well off, and live happy. I'm just a good-for-nothing Seam boy who cant even provide for his own-"

I shut him up by slamming him against the wall and kissing him passionately. Every time he would try to pull away, I deepened the kiss. His fingers teased the pink bow on my dress, and my hands wandered from his neck to his bare chest. After a while he finally pulled away.

"Trust me Gale." I whispered into his ear. "You are perfect."

"But I cant lose you and Lilly." He said.

"How about I help out your mother some. You can see her then. And we can write each other. That Peacekeeper, Darius I think? He can cover up the letters from you saying they're from the hospital … Updates on Lilly. Trust me. We just have to wait." I leaned my face so close to him, he could hear every breath I took in. "I will always and only love you."

This time he pinned me against the wall, making out with me. His fingers ran through my hair. After a while I laid on his bed, head in his lap while he played with my hair.

"I love you so much Madge. Don't forget about me ok?"

"I wont." I said, giving him a kiss goodbye and leaving with Lilly.

Three days later.

"I'm so glad you're done with that boy sweetheart." My father said at dinner. I just rolled my eyes and ate some of the steak. For some reason I like Gale's fresh meat better than this.

"Margaret! Don't roll your eyes at us." My mother yelled.

"That boy has been a very bad influence." Daddy said.

"Daddy! He is NOT a bad influence."

"Madge, he showed up to our house drunk. He is a worthless Seam boy."

"But daddy-"

"No Madge. I am just glad its done. You deserve better than a screw up like him."

"I'm a screw up criminal, who can hardly keep his family alive, how am I supposed to provide for you and Lilly! You could be with someone like Peeta who is well off, and live happy. I'm just a good-for-nothing Seam boy"

"I'm going to check on Lilly." I said before. I stormed out of the room before I saw the hospital note on the bed for me. I tore it open and saw it was really a note from Gale. My heart swelled up as I read it.

"Dear Madge,

I'm so sorry I cant be there for you and Lilly. My mother even cried when I told her about us not being able to be together. I just wish I could hold you tight. Kiss you like I last kissed you. Be able to rock my little girl to sleep. I can't stop thinking about both of you. How I wish we could be a real family. How are you two doing? If you need anything please let me know. I want to be there for you. I love you so much,

Gale"

I noticed the tears on the paper, as I pulled out a peace of paper and wrote the response letter. About how we were fine, but we missed you with all our hearts. I think Lilly misses him. She constantly looks for him, but there is no daddy to cuddle her. I just hope my parents never find out about this little secret.

A/N: Please Review! Next chapter- Gale has to get Madge out of District 12 before the bombing and he has a plan.
