Request (@tomesandrosebud ): The reader was Gally's girlfriend when they were in the Glade, up until his 'death'. And leaving him behind left her heartbroken but with everything going on after being 'saved' by W.C.K.D. the Gladers had to just keep moving. So with all of the events of the Scorch the reader and Newt became really close, him helping to heal her broken heart and falling in love, sharing one kiss during the battle against W.C.K.D. when Minho was taken and then started officially dating soon afterwards. Also the reader somehow found out from Teresa and Thomas having regained their memories, Chuck was actually the reader's little brother the whole time. So now it's almost been a year since the day in which the Glader's escaped the Maze and it turns out that Gally actually is still alive, and he's been searching for and still been in love with the reader. And so the imagine basically kind of just all about how after the shock of Gally still being alive and him coming to re-join the group, how he basically never like up front gets told that now the reader and Newt are together. That it's more of Gally feeling like she's just avoiding him when he's just trying to regain what they used to have. And he just has this feeling there's something that the group isn't telling him. And at one point he kind of just gets upset and thinks she hates him because of him killing Chuck, which she is upset about but unlike Thomas she was able to get passed that. But then eventually he just sees the reader and Newt together and is able to put it all together and basically just his reaction to everything.

“Gally, listen to Thomas.” You tried to calm Gally down but he wouldn’t even look in your direction.
You saw Chuck jump in front of Thomas before anyone realized what was happening. When Gally shot the gun, everyone froze.
Chuck looked to you and then to Thomas, not saying anything. You noticed a red stain growing on his shirt and almost collapsed.
“Chuck!” You cried, grabbing onto the curly-haired boy. Thomas let out an ear piercing scream, dropping down with you and Chuck. You tried to stop the bleeding but were unsuccessful. Thomas decided to take over, unintentionally shoving you away.
You scooted back a few feet, feeling very nauseous. You almost threw up, but a strangled groan from another body distracted you.
“Gally!”
You scooted over to him and placed both of your hands on his cheeks. “Gally don’t do this. Get up, Gally. Don’t leave me. We can fix this. We’re going to help you.”
A bright light spread through the room and rough hands ripped you away from Gally and Thomas away from Chuck. You were being dragged out of the room, away from the maze. You kicked and screamed, begging someone to help Gally and Chuck but no one stopped or paid any attention.
The hands shoved you into a helicopter, instantly disappearing and leaving your entire group in shock. One of the strangers who dragged you out said something about everyone being safe now, but you couldn’t focus on his voice. Your best friend Newt gently pulled your trembling body into his, wrapping his arms around you. He allowed you to cry into his shirt, completely speechless from the previous events.

You pushed the food back and forth on your plate while Thomas and the rest of your friends spoke about the bodies Thomas saw. Newt tried to explain to Thomas that there could have been anything being transferred, but Thomas was sure that they were bodies. The group grew quiet after Thomas pointed out Aris.
Newt had noticed your lack of participation in the conversation. He glanced at you and your nearly full plate.
“Hey,” Newt nudged your shoulder, “You’re not eating much. Are you alright?”
Minho and Frypan looked towards you, waiting for your response.
You nodded, twirling your fork around your plate in one hand while the other was underneath the table picking at the material of your pants. “I just have a bad feeling..”
“You feel sick?” Minho asked.
“No, it’s about this place.” They all looked at you strangely. “I just feel like this is too good to be true. I want to know what they are doing with those bodies.”
“There’s nothing to worry about, y/n. Those were probably not bodies.”
“I hope they weren’t.”
“We’re going to be okay.” Newt grabbed your hand under the table, trying to provide you with some comfort. You sent him a tired smile and nodded before taking a bite of your food.
“I wonder why they took Theresa. It can’t be because she’s the only girl, because I’m a girl too. You know?”
Minho nodded, “They didn’t separate any other groups by gender. Maybe she’s different than the rest of us. She could be more important.”
“She was barely in the maze, if that’s why they took her she must have been really important before.” Frypan chimed in.
“Do you guys think they’ll come get y/n too?” Winston asked, joining the conversation.
“I’m not going to complain and give them any ideas.” Newt shook his head, tightening his grip on your hand slightly.
Thomas stood from the table and tried to join the group of teenagers leaving.

“Hey Thomas,” The kid Thomas had roamed the vents with the previous night, Aris, climbed out from underneath Thomas’s bed. “You got it, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
“Thomas wait.” Newt objected, reaching out for his friend.
“Newt, maybe they’re right.” You stopped him, “Maybe it’s just paranoia, but he should find out. As long as he doesn’t get himself into trouble while doing so.” You shot Thomas a warning glance. He nodded, looking to Newt.
Newt’s eyes roamed your face. He stayed silent for a moment, thinking back to the conversation he had with you at dinner. He thought that maybe it would settle your nerves if Thomas was able to figure the situation out. He let go of Thomas’s arm, stepping back. “Okay.” And with that, Thomas was sliding into the vent.
“We’ll cover for you.” Newt told him.
Thomas nodded. “I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
Everyone stood around the vents for a few moments until no one could hear the sounds of Thomas and Aris crawling.
The group dispersed, wandering off to various areas in the room. You went to sit on your bed, letting out a yawn on the way
“Are you tired?” Newt approached you. You nodded with a sigh. “I haven’t slept well. I guess I’m just so used to sleeping on those hammocks.”
“Get some rest, I’ll make sure you’re awake when Tommy gets back.”
You nodded, laying down on the bed.
-
You had barely drifted off when you were abruptly awakened by yelling and loud noises.
“What’s going on?” You sat up, noticing Thomas running around the room and barricading the door.
“They’re coming for us!” Thomas announced frantically, tying a sheet around the door handle.
“What? Who?” Thomas’s panic was enough to wake you the rest of the way up, and you were quickly on your feet.
“Thomas would you just calm down and talk to us!” Newt called out. Thomas continued trying to prevent the door from being able to be opened as he tried to tell everyone what was going on.
“IT’S WICKED. It’s still wicked. It’s always been wicked.” Thomas shouted. Everyone went silent, except for Newt who asked Thomas what he saw. Thomas gave a brief explanation as everyone hurried through another vent.
You followed Thomas and the group through the halls of the WCKD compound. Thomas dragged a WCKD worker who you all almost ran into along with him, leading the group. You’d all just turned a sharp corner when Thomas caught sight of a WCKD guard.
“FREEZE! STAY WHERE YOU ARE!” The man shouted, pointing his gun at your group and firing. You had almost been hit, but Newt grabbed your arm and yanked you away. The group ran down the hallway and stopped as Minho took out the guard.
“Shit, Minho.”
—
After getting Theresa, the group was able to escape the WCKD compound. After Theresa led everyone to an old building, she forced Thomas to stop and explain what was happening and Newt wanted to know what the plan was.
“People. In the mountains. Mountain people. That’s your plan?” Newt asked. “It’s the best plan we have right now.” You told him. Newt looked to you and sighed. “Alright then.”
Everyone split into small groups to search for supplies.
Unfortunately, the building wasn’t as empty as you’d hoped. Before long everyone was running for their lives through what you assumed to be a mall.
Newt was the first one to be knocked down by whatever was chasing you.
“Newt!” Thomas shouted, turning back to help. You beat him there, though, knocking the monster off and through the glass barrier. It fell to the next floor down with a sickening smack. You held your hand out for Newt to grab. “Thank you.” He panted, graciously accepting your hand to pull him up.
Winston was the second member of your group to be grabbed by the monsters. They almost pulled him through the door but Thomas and Frypan grabbed onto him and yanked him out of their grasps. Frypan held onto Winston and helped him run away from the danger. You had stopped, looking at the giant group of people push at the door. Newt grabbed your hand, yanking you away.
Everyone huddled together underneath some scattered debris, trying to remain as quiet as possible so no attention would be drawn to you.
“Everyone try and get some rest, we’ll be here for a while.” Minho whispered.
You looked to Newt, fear and exhaustion displayed in your facial expression.
“We’ll be okay.” Newt assured you, pulling you against him. “Try to sleep for a bit, I’ll be right here.”
