The hatch door began to slowly close as the berg flew further away and out of the city. Everyone was huddled round Thomas assisting him with his injuries. I still stayed back not wanting to get in the way but i also felt like i needed to do something to help.

Within minutes, Thomas had a bandage round his torso covering his gun wound, and everyone had calmed down a little. Thomas had passed out and Minho and Gally moved him onto a bench at the side of the ship.

Everything was calm and all good again. Everyone took a breather as we were all slumped on the floor.

Gally was sat next to me and he looked over at me with a worried glance.

"What?" I asked curiously.

He didn't say anything, he just moved closer. He then held my chin and the top of my head, looking at something on my face.

"Gally what?" I said more impatiently.

"Your bleeding." He said with a worried tone.

"What do you mean?" I held my hand up to my face at the top of my head to check, and i in fact was bleeding.

"Stay there a sec." He said before sliding across the floor and over to somewhere.

He slid back with a cloth.

"Gally what are you doing?" I asked impatiently once again.

"Shut up a sec." He moaned. He bring the cloth to my head, it was cold and wet. I flinched when he placed it on my head.

I turned my head slightly to look at him, to see him so concentrated which was funny and cute at the same time.

"What did you do?" He asked in a clam voice.

"It must have been from when i whacked my head and passed out." I said trying to turn to face him, but he stopped me as he left hand was holding the cloth to my head and his right hand was on my chin.

"You passed out?" His voice wasn't as calm anymore.

"Yeah, i'm fine though." I replied.

"Your gonna have a scar there now." He finally let me turn to face him, after he took the cloth away.

"Scars are cool sometimes." I said while raising my eyebrows.

"Whatever you say...so erm about that thing." He said shyly.

"What thing....oh you mean that thing?"

"Yeah erm, i dunno what came over me, i'm sor-"

I cut him off. "don't be sorry... I liked it." I smiled while looking down at the floor.

"Me too."
