She Saved Me (Gal Gadot/You/Katie McGrath AU)

XXXIV.

Y/n's POV

It has been a few weeks since rescue and everyone seems to be pretty happy with their new life.

Tom and Gal seems to patch things up in their relationship and I'm glad she finally realized that she needed Tom in her life more than she could ever need the love we shared back then.

Every now and then me along with some of the volunteer runners would leave camp to look for supplies for our growing community, everyone has their own job happy that they no longer need to fear for their lives everyday inside our secured fences.

Katie finally had the chance to expand her medical knowledge when we learned the one of the survivors that we rescued used to be a surgeon. She was so thirlled to learn new things and every day she would tell them to me.

We have all been through a lot but as the day goes by surely our love for each other gets stronger as well. Whenever we have a chance to fool around we would, and I can't help but smile and feel like a lovestruck teenager as I've never experienced it beforehand duo to the apocalypse blowing up in our faces.

Despite the occasional freaks outside our fences, we feel secure with the family and community that we have.

I felt someone sit beside me outaside the porch bench as I continue look at the happy faces of the people walking around our camp.

"You okay love?" I hear Katie's soft voice travel through my ears.

"I'm just happy. After all I've been through... we've been through, we finally have our home back." I told her as I reach out to hold her hand.

"Gal wanted me to tell you that she want's to talk to you." I heard her say.

"What for?" I looked at her curious at what she has to say next.

Katie never answered. All she did was flash a sweet smile and plant a kiss on my lips before pointing where Gal's location.

"Do I need to be worried?" I asked her once again.

"Just go, my love. I think you both need this." She said, giving me an encouraging smile.

Gal's POV

I've decided to apologize to Katie and Y/n. After fixing things with Tom, its about time I do the same with both of them.

I've already talked to Katie and I am happy that we cpuld be friends from now on. I've underestimated her, my jealousy clouded my judgment and I failed to see her genuine love and affection for y/n and towards the others. Not once did she ever gave us a reason for us to doubt her and I'm happy she was there when I failed to make y/n happy.

After our heartfelt talk, I asked for Katie's permission if I could talk to y/n next. Truth be told she told me that I should've never asked as y/n makes her own decisions and doesn't need any permission from anyone.

As I waited for y/n to come I reminisced at the times that we spent together. I did love her and that will never change but times change, mistakes are made, and now I had accepted it and moved on.

The moment I heard the door open I looked into it's direction. Y/n entered clearly unaware of why I asked her to come.

"Is there a problem?" She asked.

"No not at all... you may want to take a seat." I told her.

Taking my offer, Y/n sat in front of me, resting her hands at the table.

"I just wanted to talk so I could properly apologize for everything. Shawn's birth gave me a lot to think about... I've made a lot of mistakes I tried so hard to get you back but now thinking back, we're already at the end but I just want for us to start a new beginning... you are more than just the girl I once loved, you're my bestfriend... my family and I hope I am the same to you. I'll be happy if Shawn would have you and Katie as his cool aunties, Tom and I would be happy. Now that we have our home back, I just wanted for us to be friends again. It would really mean so much to me." I told her straight away.

Y/n never said a word. Instead she got up from her chair and rushed to hug me. Feeling a huge relief and happiness, I hugged her with the equal amount of affection she has given to me. After a long time, we are finally happy again.

"Thank you." She said.

I smiled at her words, her own pure heart just shines all throughout infecting everyone around us.

"Friends?" I asked her?

"The very best." She said beaming with joy.

Finally, we found true happiness.
