Sorry for the wait. By the way, thanks to the readers of this story. I am very grateful to you guys. So here's the new chapter.
The next day, after Katniss, Peeta, Delly and Thom found out Madge's true condition, everything seems wrong. They don't know how they will act around Madge.
"Guys, we can't act like this around Madge. She will feel bad if she found out that we're sad because of her." Delly said.
"We know Delly, it's just really hard to accept that one of our friends is suffering from Alzheimer's disease." Peeta said.
"But Delly is right Peeta, we'll only make Madge feel bad if we show her how sad we are. We must help her to get through this. I know Gale will never give up on Madge, he also needs our support." Thom said.
"Okay so what now? Are we going to tell Madge that we know her condition?"Katniss asked.
"I think it's only appropriate for us to tell her that we already know, but we must tell her that nothing's gonna change."Peeta said.
Madge arrived, Gale is not with her. They haven't talked yet ever since Gale told her about Enobaria and Clove.
"Hey, you guys are early. Thom what are you doing here? Your classroom is upstairs."
"Well…you see.."Thom can't think of an answer, he's not sure if he should tell Madge that they already know her condition.
"Thom is here because we are planning for Katniss' birthday." Dell said helping Thom.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that. I have an idea, since my house is bigger why don't we just celebrate it there."
"Thanks Madge, that would be nice. By the way, where is Gale?"Katniss said.
"Well, we had a little argument, I forgot what it's about, but don't worry we'll fix it."
Then suddenly Clove and Johanna entered the room.
"Hey Madgie, heard you and my boy Gale are fighting. Trouble in paradise?" Clove said.
Madge just stared at Clove, she is confused. "I'm sorry but do I know you?"
"Okay Princess, stop playing with us, you know who we are." Johanna said angrily.
"Seriously I don't know who you two are."
"Who the hell are you two and why are you bugging Madge? She said she doesn't know you so get lost." Katniss said, she doesn't know who these two are but they are bugging Madge. With all the stress they are having drama is the last thing they need.
"What is going on here? Clove how many times do I have to tell you to stop bugging Madge?" Gale said, he just entered the room.
"Oh hello Galey, your girlfriend is acting crazy, she is pretending that she doesn't know us." Clove said.
"Do not call Madge crazy and I swear if I ever see you talk to her again, you really are gonna get it. I don't care if you're a girl but if you hurt Madge, you'll wish you never came back here."
"So threatening me now? Let's see how long you are going to stay with that crazy girl." Clove said and she left the room with Johanna following her.
"Madge are you okay, did they hurt you?" Gale asked, concern is obvious in his eyes.
"Don't worry Katniss and the others are here. Gale do you know that girl?"
"Don't mind her. She's not worth your time. By the way I'm sorry, please forgive me for the things that I have done in the past."
"You know what let's just forget about our fight, besides I can't seem to remember why we fight in the first place."
"Okay thank you Madge."
"On a lighter note, we are planning Katniss' birthday party, we are going to celebrate it in our house."
"That's great Madge but we have to continue this later, Thom and I have to go to class."
"Okay, see you later."
"Gale wait, do you think we should tell Madge that we already know her condition."
"I think you should tell her, if she got upset, tell her to blame because I'm the one who told you guys about it."
"Don't worry, Madge won't be mad."
Once Gale and Thom left, Katniss, Peeta and Delly all go to Madge to tell her what they already know.
"Madge, we have something to tell you." Peeta started.
"You guys already know about my condition. I noticed it when I entered the room, I may be forgetful but I am still perceptive besides you might think it strange why I can't remember the girls who entered the room a while ago."
"Madge we are so sorry." Delly said, she has tears in her eyes.
"Come on, I know Gale will tell you guys sooner or later, I'm actually glad that I am not the one who'll break the news to you guys."
"But you must remember Madge, nothing will change." Katniss said.
"I know, that's why I'm grateful. Now that we have that issue covered, it's time to plan for your birthday."
After school, Madge and Gale agreed that they will go to Finnick's office so that Madge could have another check-up. Madge is waiting for Gale at the gate when Cato suddenly appeared.
"Hey Madge, how are you?"
"Cato? What are you doing here? You know that I don't want to talk to you again after what you have done to me."
"Madge yesterday you were acting weird, you said that I am still your boyfriend. Madge I came here because I want to start over. I know I've been a jerk to you but I regret all my actions in the past. I want to be with you again."
"Cato you know that I am with Gale now, I don't know what you're talking about so please just leave me alone. Gale will arrive soon and I don't want to see you two fight so please just go."
"Fine, I'll go, but I will never give up Madge, remember that."
Gale and Madge arrived at Finnick's office. Madge didn't tell Gale about the incident with Cato, she doesn't want him to get angry.
"Hey Madge and Gale, how are you two?"
"We're good, I just want to have another check-up. And besides can't we visit our friend?"
"You're right, nice timing by the way, my wife is here."
"That's great we would love to meet her."
Finnick's wife, Annie, entered the office. She has long brown hair and green eyes, she is really pretty.
"Annie, this is my patient Madge and her boyfriend Gale."
"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Annie, Finnick's wife. Do you guys want some coffee?"
"Sure."
"You told me that Annie has the same condition as Madge, she seems okay."
"Well, she is having a good day, like what I have told you sometimes she could remember things, but the times that she forgets is the one that is more often. She's in my office right now because her mom is on vacation, no one will watch her."
"So that's how I'm going to be in the future? Someone have to watch for me."
"Yes, because you might get lost or you might need to go to the bathroom."
"Oh okay."
"Here you go." Annie said while serving the coffee to Madge and Gale. "Finnick I'll just go outside."
"Okay, but ask Cecilia to go with you and do not go too far."
"Okay thanks, I love you."
"I love you too."
Annie left Finnick's office. Gale and Madge took a sip of their coffee, and they both look at each other.
"Let me guess, one is too sweet while the other one is too bitter."
"So she forgets this kind of things as well."
"Yes Madge, that is also the reason why I asked her to go with Cecilia because she might get lost. Same thing could happen to you. That is why I am suggesting, that you should stop going to school."
"But why? I'm still capable of going to school."
"Yes, but it is safer if there is someone who will watch you. I know Gale can't do that. I know you're thinking that you'll be a burden but that's what this disease do. You'll be dependent to someone. Madge I'm only saying this because I care about you. I'm only thinking about your welfare."
"Okay I understand. Thank you Finnick."
Gale and Madge left Finnick's office. Madge is still sad because of what Finnick said. She doesn't want to burden anyone, especially her parents.
"Hey listen to me, whatever happens, I'll always be with you."
"But I can't be a burden to anyone."
"Don't ever think that you'll be a burden, okay. We all love you, we'll be with every step of the way. We'll help you no matter what."
"Thank you Gale."
"Now, all you have think about is Katniss' birthday, I know you don't want to celebrate her birthday with a frown."
Please don't be mad, I know this is sort of a filler chapter and I said that there will be a celebration and Madge's parents will found out her condition but change of plans. Don't worry, next chapter will be the party. Please review.
