I barely get any sleep, causing me to look like a zombie. I stayed up all night thinking of what to say to Gally, or if I should even say anything to him. But Thomas won't let that happen.

I decide to lay in bed a bit longer until I spot Thomas striding towards me. He leans down and whispers in my ear, "tell him today, or you'll regret it." He smirks at me and wanders off out of the hut.

I truly hope Thomas is bluffing so that I don't have to tell Gally what happened. Why am I even protecting Thomas? He deserves to get beaten up for all the stress he's caused me.

Plus, it's not like I kissed him back or anything. He forced me to kiss him and I pulled away immediately, that's got to count for something right?

Eventually, I head to the kitchens where the others are. I grab some food and take a seat next to Gally. "Are you feeling better y/n? I checked up on you half way through the night and you looked uncomfortable." Gally whispers in my ear.

I don't want him to suspect anything so I just smile at him, "no I'm fine, I think it was just because I was a bit ill yesterday... That's all." He seems to believe it as he nods his head in agreement before digging into his food.

Luckily Thomas didn't decide to show up for once so I could actually enjoy some peace and quiet with my friends.

Today was the day I started working properly again today, and since I haven't finished doing my time building that's where I'll be for a while.

Gally and I walk up to the other builders together before separating off so it doesn't look weird.

Gally speaks up, "Right, some of the wood around the huts need replacing. Just wander round and if you see any weak wood change it." Well that sounds simple enough.

I begin to follow the others to where the huts are until somebody grabs my arm and pulls me back. Gally is there, with a wide smile on his face... What is he up to?

"Not us y/n we're gonna be doing something different." Wow Gally of all people bunking off work?! My face matches his and we quietly walk off to the deadheads.

It's not too long until we get there and Gally sits down, pulling me down with him.

"What's wrong y/n? You seem really distant recently." I can't tell him the truth!

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just tired of being stuck in here that's all." He gives me a sympathetic look before wrapping his arms around me, my head on his chest.

I could stay like this forever, but our silence was disrupted by some crackling of leaves. Somebody's followed us.

I look up and see that Gally has drifted off, then I look back round and see Thomas in the distance, shaking his head. My stomach starts to churn, I want to tell Gally so badly but if he loses his temper he might get banished and I can't let that happen.

Instead, I look away completely ignoring Thomas. I have until the end of the day. I don't have to tell him right this second.

I enjoy the little quiet time we have before we get up, stretching our bodies. "Back to work now I guess." He says with a frown.

I laugh at his reaction, "Come on, let's go." I grab his hand and we go back to the huts where we should have been. Some gladers look our way and I realise that our hands are still together, making me immediately pull away.

Work was over quickly and we all started to head back to the huts. I've still been thinking of what I can say to Gally without getting him all fired up, he's really protective at the moment. He claimed that one guy was checking me out so he sent them the death glare... See what I mean?

Gally and I automatically head to where our other friends are. We all talk about how each other's days have been until Thomas appears from absolutely nowhere, "yeah y/n how was your day? Work hard?" Gally sends him a glare.

"Actually yeah, she's probably done more than you've done today." That's somewhat true, Thomas basically spent the day following me around, smirking at me.

"Oh, so you guys went to work instead of going to the deadheads?" I bit my lip nervously and look at Gally.

"Are you a stalker or something? Are you obsessed with y/n so you have nothing better to do than follow her round wherever she goes?" Gally almost yells. I have to grab him before he tries to lunge at Thomas.

Thomas pauses for a minute, "Well wouldn't you be obsessed with her if she kissed you too?"
