I wanted to stay and help Thomas but I just needed to help Gally. My boyfriend. The boy I loved. When I walked into my room he was sat on the bed with his head in his hands.

"Hey, Gall." I took a seat next to him.

"Hi."

"You okay?"

"Not really, no." He lifted his head up and I grabbed his hands.

"Gally, it's not Thomas' fault. He was memory wiped just like everyone here."

"Jesus, y/n, not you too." He pulled his hands away from mine.

"I'm sorry. Really, I am. But you seriously can't think he planned all this."

"Let me guess," He stood up abruptly, "You're gonna choose to get banished with him."

"Gally-"

"No, y/n. I love you. I love you so so much. But- but-"

Nothing more was said and he just fell onto his back on the bed.

"Tired?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Mhm." He nodded. "I won't stop you from getting banished with him because I know I can't stop you. But can we at least sleep together one last time." Gally's voice broke.

"Of course." I pulled the covers back so we could get in. I placed my head on his chest.

"I love you."

"I love you more. I don't want you to leave."

"I know. I am so so sorry." I sighed and snuggled deeper into his chest.

GALLYS POV:

She fell asleep on my chest and tears rolled down my cheeks but I made sure not to wake her.

I'm an idiot. I'm such an idiot. I've messed everything up.

I love her so much and now I've pushed her away. I know I can't stop her from getting banished with, the one and only, Thomas. I wish, I really wish, I could stop her but I know her well enough to know nothing will work.

The last few years have been amazing. I can't remember anything from before the glade and I'm not sure I want to. I've loved it here. With my friends and y/n. Everyday I get to wake up and see them.

Not for long.

Y/N's POV:

Gally must've woken up before me because he was no where in sight when my eyes opened in the morning. My heart stung when I remembered our conversation last night. I ran my hands over my face, tired. Minho, Newt and Chuck walked past my room so I quickly fixed my bed-head hair and joined them as we went to Thomas in the pit.

His head was rested on Teresa's lap and she stared down at him while us four watched through the bars. His eyes slowly opened.

"Hey." Teresa smiled. "You okay?" He nodded but kept his eyes locked with her. I sensed a crush was forming.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Chuck got straight to the point.

Thomas sat up and turned to us all. He seem surprised we were there.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Gally's take control." Newt told him, "He said we had a choice. Either join him or get banished at sundown with you."

Thomas' eyebrows raised and he looked at me. I knew what he was thinking.

"I know. I know. We're right and he's not. It breaks my heart and I know it's breaking his but I gotta go with my gut feeling." I sighed sadly and he nodded.

"So the others agreed? To joining him?"

"Gally has everyone convinced that you're the reason all this gas happened." Teresa explained.

"Well, he's been right so far."

"What are you talking about?" Minho asked from beside me.

"This place... It's not what we thought it was. It's not a prison. It's a test. It all started when we were kids. They'd give us these challenges. They were experimenting on us, mostly y/n and I. And then people started disappearing. Every month, one after the other, like clockwork." Thomas told us and I fell back off the balls of my feet onto my butt.

"Sending them into the maze?" Newt said.

"Yeah, but not all of us."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Guys, I am one of them. The people who put you here. I worked with them."

"Yeah? And? I did as well. Apparently, I'm the leaders daughter. But who the shuck cares?! We lost our memories we are basically different people." I said.

"I know but.. I watched you guys for years. The entire time you've been here, I- I was on the other side of it. So were you, Teresa."

"What?" Tears swelled in her eyes.

"Teresa, we did this to them."

She shook her head, "No. That can't be true."

"It is. I saw it."

"Why would they send us up if we were with them?" A tear rolled down her cheek.

"I've been asking myself that." I said, "What sick mother would send their own child into a maze full of dangerous metal beasts that could have killed her?" I shrugged.

"Y/n's right." Newt spoke.

"I am?"

"It doesn't matter. Any of it. Because the people we were before the maze, they don't even exist anymore. These creators took care of that. But what does matter is who we are now and what we do right now." Newt smiled reassuringly. "You went into the maze, and you found a way out."

This is why he's my best friend. Always so kind and optimistic.

"Yeah, but if I hadn't, Alby would still be alive."

Newt clenched his jaw and I could tell he wanted to break into tears but he held it back.

"Maybe. But I know that if he were here, he would be telling you the exact same thing. Pick your ass up and finish what you started." He chuckled to himself, "Because if we do nothing, then that means Alby died for nothing, and I can't have that."

I patted his back and he smiled back at me.

"Okay, but we gotta through Gally first." Thomas shrugged.

"I have a slight plan. But I need yall to add more bits to it." I winked.
