You could tell something wasn’t right with today, all day every little aspect of the glade had seemed off. Everything around you held an aura of eeriness, an anxious feeling fluttered constantly in your stomach. You sat against the stump of a tree, mindlessly drowning some water, hoping that would help with whatever had you all riled up. Some of the other builders had noticed your symptoms and passed around hushed whispers to Gally. After your incident a few weeks before, Gally kept your work at a bare minimum and something even a greenie could accomplish.
The wind swayed, blowing a cold breeze over you as you kept your focus on the grass that seemed to dance in the wind. “You alright Y/N,” gally asked quietly taking a seat next you.
You could feel the gaze of the older boy, you could feel the concern that radiates off of him, it felt sickening. “ ‘M alright Gally,” you uttered,” just don’t feel to well. Not really sure what’s wrong,” you admitted, pulling grass from the ground trying to distract yourself from the situation. You weren't even sure what the situation was, but you were sure that there was one.
Gally skimmed his hand over the grass, taking your hand in his and took his time to rub small circles,” you need anything you tell me you shank,” his lame attempt of a joke cracked no smile,” i love you like a sister Y/N,” he admitted,” always gonna be here for you.” The concern cut like a knife, you didn’t know why but i felt like too much, but you knew deep down it's what you needed.
You chuckled, rubbing under your eyes harshly,” thanks Captain Gal.I really needed that.” A little weight had been taken off, and even the smallest of freedom felt nice.
Gally looked around the glade, seeing that Newt kept his gaze locked on you. Gally grinned,” i’m not the only shank here who is worried ya know? Newt over there looks pretty concerned,” you lifted your gaze from the grass and saw that indeed the blonde boy was looking at you with an intense gaze,” take a break and talk to him.” You looked over to protest the idea when Gally cut you off,” captain’s orders. Go. Now!”
“Alright you shank,” you muttered, pushing yourself up from ground, only offering a small wave as you walked away. You looked to the walls seeing that the sun was coming down, and seeing the runners standing at one of the entrances to the still open doors. “Aren't those supposed to be closed by now,” you asked standing beside Newt looking into the maze.
Newt bit at his lip,” they should be,” the stress slowing starting to fill him. The memories of when he used to be a runner flowed into his head. Newt was more than thankful that he didn't have to worry about making it back in time, but now that same stress was held for his friends.
You looked over at the older boy and reached out for him,” it’ll be fine. Maybe the creators are just pulling some sick joke.” Your left arm was slung around Newt’s shoulder and you slid your right arm across his stomach, keeping him in a side hug.
When you made contact with Newt, you could feel the anxiety off of the boy. His arms shook and he couldn’t seem to stop tapping his foot. “ Hope your right (Y/n).”
You looked into the abyss and feel something just drop in your gut,” yeah me too.”

Everything was falling apart. Everything did fall apart. The glade your home, was utterly destroyed. The gladers were divided, between staying in the glade and escaping the place they once called home. Thomas and Minho somehow managed to screw up, the walls wouldn’t close. Then the grievers attacked, you had been lucky that Gally dragged you and a few others to the box.
There you hunkered down, stayed silent, hoping that you made make it through the night. You were praying the rest of the gladers were safe, you were praying that Newt would be safe. The homestead wouldn't hold off the grievers and you had already heard the splintering of wood, and the screams of your friends in the night.
Too many lives had been lost, and the feeling of your stomach dropping hasn't left. Not a single sound was uttered. Gally looked down on you as you tried to hide yourself in one of the corners,” It’ll be okay (Y/N). We’re okay.”
You looked up through the metal bars of the box, the screams of the gladers and the shierks of the grievers had gone silent,” not all of us Gal,” you sighed, aggressively rubbing the tears from your eyes.
“They know how to fight,” Gally crouched down next to you,” Newt will be okay. One of the toughest shanks we know.” You nodded slowly and rested your head on his shoulder. After a short while the screams began to die down and the tension left your body, all you felt was the numbness that creeped up on you. Gally stood and pulled you up with him, keeping a death grip on your shaking form.
“I think they’re gone,” Gally whispered, gently cracking open the doors and peeking into the glade. Gally looked around, the grievers were gone and no other gladers were in sight. “Let's go find everyone yeah?” One by one everyone left the box and gazed at the glade. Your knuckles white at how tightly you gripped the handle of the knife.
You followed Gally over to the homestead, where you could finally see other gladers, some of your closests friends among them.
“Thank god,” you whispered, loosening your grip on the blade, and slipping it back into your belt.
Gallys paced on quickened as him marched his way up to Thomas,” Gally,” Thomas called out. Only a second later did Gally’s fist fly across Thomas’s face. The gladers started shouting at Gally as you rushed over and pushed him back from Thomas, and in the process Newt pulled you away.
“Let them figure this out love,” He whispered holding onto you waist,” im glad to see your okay,” you swore you could hear his voice crack.
For a moment you allowed yourself to melt into his touch,” i’m glad your okay too,” you whispered back, turning around to offer him a smile.
The worry that seemed ingrained in his expression fell away he was about to start when the shouts of Gally interrupted him. You both looked back to see Gally attempting to throw punches at Thomas.
Frypan and Winston pulled Gally away,” You heard what Alby said!,” Gally stated,” He’s one of them! They sent him here to destroy everything,” Gally kept rambling as he tried to fight off Winston and Frypan. “And now he has. Look around Thomas, Look around this is your fault.”
You sunk your body closer to Newt’s,” Gally that's enough! He wanted to get out of here! We’ve been trying to figure a way out for years!”
Gallys head snapped at you,” he ruined our home (Y/N)!! What else is he going to do.”
A heat had engulfed your body, a rage you hadn’t really felt before. The first wrong choice was leaving the safety of Newt’s hold,and your marched straight up to Gally.“ Gally you shuckface! Thomas is scared just like we all are, but this isn't home! We had lives before this that we can’t remember so shut your shuck mouth before you regre-” A loud smack rang in the air. You stumbled back as shock washed over Gally’s face.
“I-i’-i’m sorry (Y/N),” Gally rushed, trying to find his words. Slowly you backed away from him bumping into someone behind you. You glanced back and saw Newt, you saw the anger evident in his face and felt his arms wrap around your waist.
“You’ll regret that,” he started, but the yells from Teresa and Chuck cut him off. At first you felt enraged that Gally had the audacity to hit you, then embarrassment. Your cheek lightly throbbed with pain as you attempted to cradle your cheek.
Newt’s hand slipped from your waist has he ran over to Thomas,” Why in the bloody hell did he do this?”
“He thought Gally was right. He wanted to know,” Chuck told him, everyone glancing over and sneering at Gally.
Gally looked back at his friends,” throw Thomas and Teresa in the slammer.” Anyone who disagrees with me can join them.”
One by one everyone went taking their stand with gally, not ready to face his wrath. Newt kept a grip on you glancing down at you, trying to figure out what your next move would be.
“Love what do you want to do?” He whispered in your ear as Gally kept a strong gaze on the two of you.
“I’ll side with him but i don't trust him, not again,” you breathed, following the other gladers to stand behind Gally.
The second you made it into the safe zone, Newt pulled you closer into him. “I promise you love, I’ll keep you safe okay. “ Newt could feel you slightly temoring against him ,” I lo-.” he stopped himself. It felt wrong, the wrong time, the wrong place, and the wrong reason for a confession.
You heard the word form on his lips then vanish, you felt the breath that the word escaped with and all you could think was “i love you too tommy.”
