This is the first time in what seems like forever that I can say life is just so good. Posy has been getting better as of late. Johanna and I go to the hospital before work and after and she is improving a lot. Because she lost a lot of memory of how to do things- even in that short period of time sleeping- we have to teach her over again. The doctor said that it would be better for her to be in a rehab center and that Posy would learn more efficiently. But considering that that was the very same doctor who confirmed Posy had died, I wasn't going to take any more chances with this guy.
So far, she's gotten eating by herself, dressing up, and speaking down really well. And it's all we can do for now but let's just hope that everything will turn out for the better.
Johanna and I are also growing: in looooooooooove. According to Posy that is. For a nine year old girl who has just been out of a coma, she sure is annoying; in a good way though. It's kind of weird in a way. Every time I see her, she gets more and more beautiful. Every time I speak with her, it's like honey in my ears (which now that I think about it might be somewhat uncomfortable). And every time we kiss (now we are getting somewhere), there are firework displays, wedding bells, the whole shebang. And now that I think about it, maybe that's how Katniss feels with Dough boy. They've been through a whole Hell of a lot and they've always been together. I should have seen it coming because the day I told her to shoot straight and I left her; he was the only one left she could go to. Besides Haymitch, anyways. And I am really truly happy for them.
On another note, today when Aliena was cooking dinner, I was about to call Johanna to come over but the phone buzzed in my hand before I could touch any dials. I picked up the phone and on the other end was Delly. The spunky and happy blond that I forgot about. She asked if she could meet up with me at the mall where we had our first coffee together at. I don't know why but I accepted, hung up the phone, freaked out a little bit and told Aliena that I would be back soon.
I jumped into my car contemplating what I was going to say to her when I realized, I was there already. Walking a slow as possible, I trudged my way up to the café place and spotted Delly looking somewhat frazzled. Not thinking any second thoughts, I smiled as I met her eyes and seated myself right in front of her. We sat in silence for a few moments but she broke it.
"I don't love you Gale," she said. "And I know you don't love me." When she said it out of her sweet mouth I felt bad. Really really bad. I began to protest but she shushed me with her hand. "Listen. I know about Johanna and you and I always knew it would be like that. I don't know what that whole couch make out session was about but it didn't mean anything. You love Johanna and she loves you and that's the way it should really be." She took the word right out of my mouth and all I could do was apologize. But of course, being Delly, she giggled and grinned from ear to ear.
"Don't apologize silly! I am extraordinarily happy for you too! In fact if you need babysitting in the later years, feel free to call me up!" And this is the moment where my face decided to turn beet red. She laughed.
"Well, thanks Delly. I guess I'll see you around," I was determined to end this horrifying conversation. But then she spoke. "Actually you won't." she smiled sadly.
I questioned as to why and she told me that she is moving back to District 12. Back home. She told me that she missed the coal filled streets or what was left of it. Also, she asked me if I remembered Bristol and that he had bumped into her the other day. Turns out they needed help and of course she was the woman to never turn down that offer. She was leaving in a few days and she had wanted to savor her last moments here. And with everyone she had acquainted with.
I was really surprised but she assured me that she would see him again soon at the wedding and maybe somewhere else. Who knew?
She gave me a kiss on the cheek and gave me a smile for the last time. "This isn't goodbye Gale," she called out to me as she walked away. He bright yellow hair billowing as she left. But I guess this is just another happy ending.
Awwwwwwww! Delly's leaving! well we will see her again! I hope you enjoyed it and remember there is only like three more chapter or less until this story draws to an end. please review! Until next chapter guys! Luv ya like crazy! :D
