The Girl From The Maze - Gally

The Name Wall

I fell asleep writing that night, it was peaceful until I was woken at the crack of dawn by Alby. 

He grabbed my shoulders and shook me awake, forgetting that I had broken ribs, "greenie get up" Alby said loudly "awww dude what the hell I have freaking broken ribs" I woke up with the shaking, it hurt so badly probably a more than when I originally hurt them "ouch ooo sorry greenie forgot, you alright" Alby let go of my shoulders and I rubbed my ribs "I'll be fine, why are you waking me up so bloody early" Alby motioned for him to sit down and for me to move along a bit "greenie its your turn to put your name on the wall" Alby looked proud, very proud but I had no clue what the hell he was talking about "are you joking or what because your sounding real stupid" Alby looked at me shocked "its no joke young greenie" he paused, can I just say he dosent seem that much older than me maybe 1 or 2 years "its how we remember everyone who's has ever been here, everyone who has ever set foot in the Glade has to put there name up on the wall" Alby wasn't sounding so insane anymore "ok and your telling me this why" I wanted him to get to the point so that I could go back to sleep "I trust you enough to let you put your name up there, will you except my offer" Alby stood up and offered his hand "sure I'd be honoured" I got my crutches and followed him into the Glade. 

"you should be off those crutches today" Alby shouted back while still leading the way, I was thankful, these things are a burden, I hate these crutches but I was also a bit worried about walking without them, what if I couldn't do that, what if the bones didnt heal properly. I pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind and will just cross that bridge when I get to it. 

We arrived at the other side of the Glade. The wall was just beside the North opening of the doors, it blew my mind away. I stood in front of it and ran one of my hands along the wall, over Newt and Gally's names, then I came across a name with a line through the middle of it, I couldn't make out the name "who is this" I ran my hand over the crossed out name pointing it out to Alby "oh em well, when you die or leave the Glade we have to cross out your name" I moved my hand from the wall, I felt so bad, this person had passed away and I didnt even know him. I moved some of the dust of it I think I could almost make it out,

George, thats what it said, George, I put my hand back at my side and put my head down Alby noticed and he put his head down as well, he obviously knew this guy, I'm sorry George, a wave of sadness hit me though I had no clue who he was. 

"ok greenie your turn" Alby handed me a sharpened knife and a rock "hold my crutches will ya" I said hopping over to the wall, where to put my name, I could put it at the top but it looked weird, lets put it here, I marked my name into the wall then hopped back. 

There it was, my name marked below Gally's, beside Newt's and above Mihno's. It was around the people I cared about well bar Gally, I felt a little moment of peace, a smile lit up my face and a little tear came to my eye but it wasn't strong enough to fall "your one of us now greenie" Alby smiled and put his arm round my shoulder.
