Okay sorry for the wait. Lots of things to do with school and at home but I'm back. So without further ado here's the new chapter.

Everyone is busy with the preparation for the celebration of Katniss' birthday. Peeta is busy baking the cake, while Delly and Thom are helping him. Katniss was forced to stay at home so she won't see the surprise of her friends. Madge is busy preparing things in her house. After hearing Finnick's suggestion for her to stay at home, busying herself with Katniss' birthday is a good way to release all of her stress.

While arranging the food, someone rang the doorbell. Madge answered the door and was surprised to see Cato.

"Hey Cato, what are you doing here?"

"Are you busy? I just want to talk to you."

"Sure, come in."

Cato saw the food and some decorations in the house. "So is there a celebration or something?"

"I don't know, I can't remember."

Cato is confused as to why is Madge always acting as if she's forgetting something.

"Well, I want to talk to you about what happened the other day. I know you have a boyfriend…"

"But Cato, you are my boyfriend. What are you talking about? Wait… are you dumping me?"

"What? Madge what are you talking about? We broke up last year. You're boyfriend is not me, it's someone from your school. Gale."

Suddenly the door opens and reveals Gale. After seeing Cato, he became furious.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Gale asked angrily. He really wants to punch Cato right now but he doesn't want to scare Madge.

"Who are you? Why did you just enter my house without knocking?" Madge asked while hiding behind Cato.

"Look man, I don't know what's going on but I just came here to talk to Madge but then she started acting weird. I don't know why she's acting as if she doesn't know you."

Gale couldn't help it anymore. He punched Cato in the face. Gale dragged Cato outside Madge's house and they started fighting.

"Hey it's not my fault that she wants to be with me again. She's tired of you, that's why she wants to be with me like before."

Gale didn't answer Cato, he just continued punching him. Katniss, Peeta, Delly and Thom all arrived at Madge's house and they all saw the fight. Thom and Peeta intervened. They didn't notice that Madge fainted on the doorstep. Once Gale saw her, he carried her to her room. Mr. and Mrs. Undersee also went back to their house when they heard what happened.

"I don't care about the little fight that you had with Cato, all I want to know is what's wrong with my daughter. I'm sure you know." Mr. Undersee is trying to be calm, he was furious after knowing that Gale and Cato fight outside of his house but he's more concerned with Madge's well-being.

"Mr. Undersee the truth is…" Katniss tried to intervene but Mr. Undersee stopped her.

"Katniss I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to Gale."

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Mr. Undersee, the truth is…Madge is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Her doctor, Finnick Odair, said that it's hereditary, so she must've inherited it."

Mrs. Undersee started crying, she couldn't believe that her only daughter is suffering from such a disease. She's way too young to handle all this.

"Well Gale, I know that you love Madge, and you've done a terrific job taking care of her. But I think it's best if you break up with her. We don't want to burden you and I'm sure Madge won't like it either."

"I'm not breaking up with her. I love your daughter. I know it's going to be hard but I'm ready."

"Gale, you're still young. We don't want you to lose focus with your studies because of Madge. You're a senior next year you'll be in college. You should focus your mind there. We'll take care of Madge."

"No."

"My mother had Alzheimer's, like you said it runs in the family. She seems okay now but soon she won't be able to control her bladder. And as time goes by it will be a lot worse. You can't handle that."

"Please, don't say that."

"It's the truth Gale. I know you care for Madge but I don't want you to suffer."

"She's my girlfriend and I'm not leaving her. I know we're not yet married or anything but I will take care of her no matter what happens."

Madge stepped outside of her room. She saw her parents and everybody else. She's confused as to why everyone looks so sad.

"Madge, are you okay?" Katniss asked. She's very worried about Madge's health that she forgot about her own party.

"Yeah, I'm fine. What's going on? Why is it that everyone looks so sad? It's your party after all." Then Madge started urinating. Gale run to her quickly and bring her back to her room.

"Gale, are you okay? What's wrong with everyone? Why are my parents here?"

"Ssshh. its okay don't worry." Gale said, he grabbed a rug and wiped Madge's urine.

Madge saw Gale's bruised which he got from his fight with Cato.

"What happened to your face? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry about me, okay. how about you are you okay?"

"Why does everyone kept on asking me that? I should go outside, I think I ruined Katniss' party."

"Don't worry about it, she understands. We'll celebrate her birthday another day."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure." Gale is trying really hard to control his tears. He needs to be strong for Madge. He'll prove to her father that he can take care of her. "Madge, remember I will never leave you. No matter what happens I'll always be by your side. I love you."

"I love you too."

So what do you guys think? Please review. Thanks
