I'm...Jeez Madge!" I say and grab her into a hug again. There are no words to describe how I feel right now. She just smiles laughs the whole time. It's been such a long time since I heard someone laugh, other than Katniss, and that was rare and it seemed forced soem times. This, this is so sweet and genuine that it warms my heart. I wish I could express how happy I am to see her but I just can't find thee right words. "It's so great to be here with you. I can't find the words to say how wonderful it is." I say like an idiot. Am I wrong, or did she just blush? I turn to look at Katniss who I almost forgot was here, and she is just staring at Madge smiling. Clearly it has shocked the life out of her too. I am still so stunned I can barely speak. "Gale let's go! I can't wait any longer!" Katniss yells. I clear my throat, "Right, uh yeah. let's go." I say stutter, still looking at Madge's blushing smiling face. How have I never noticed how beautiful she is? I walk Katiss and Madge to my car and we all jump in and take off. "So Gale, tell me honestly, how is he?" Katniss calls out from the back seat. Great. I hate this queston. I hate talking about it, I hate thinking about it. "I haven't been able to visit him becaise Iv'e been pretty busy with work, but I call the head doctor everday to get his progress. Dr. Bragant says that he is doing quite well. He hasn't had any flashbacks in 2 weeks and they have him on some medication that is supposed to help him stay calm when anger flares up. That's pretty much all they are able to tell me right now. They will be able to tell you more when you get there." I tell her, hoping that would shut her up. We finally arrive at the hospital and Katniss waists no time, jumping out and running inside. Madge laughs and asks sarcastically, "Do you think she's excited?" I just laugh and follow her inside. Katniss is at the front desk asking for him. The nurse tells her he's in room 205 and she thanks her kindly, and runs off. Madge and I follow close behind and eventually arrive at the elavator. "Katniss, do you want Gale and I to wait outside?" asks Madge. "Yes, maybe. Thank you. I'll just need a few minutes." she says. Good, I didn't want to be there for the reunion. "We can go get some coffee in the cafeteria." I suggest to Madge. She smiles and says "Sure, I'd like that." I smie at her sweet tone that she speaks with. We reach the 2nd floor and before we can say anything, Katiss runs off down the hall.
