"Ya know Y/N why are you still here? You're not helping or doing anything productive just shove off," Gally spat. I could feel a lump in my throat forming on the verge of tears.
"Fine then," I walk off feeling even worse then when he usually goes off at me. I couldn't drop the troubled feeling in the pit of my stomach. I quietly walked into the deadheads hoping nobody follows me. I sink to my knees in despair. 'Why does he hate me so much?' 'Have I done something to him?' 'Why' 'why' 'why' 'why' 'why' my train of repetitive thoughts were interrupted.
I hear the cracking of sticks on the moist, leafy ground. My head shot up in the direction of the broken branch. I quickly wipe the tears that I didn't even notice were there. "Oh hey Ben," I say trying to avoid a wobble in my breaking voice. "Ben?" I say in a confused tone. As my eyes adjusted to my surroundings everything started to click. He had thick blood coming from his mouth, slowly dripping down to his raggedy clothes. His eyes were big and bloodshot like he hadn't slept in weeks.
It became apparent what had happened. I tried not to make to many sudden moves, I slowly rose up from my previous position. "Be-" he started to charge towards me at a fast pace. I let out a loud screech as I sprinted in the opposite direction. "HELP!" I screamed at the top of my sore lungs. I sprinted towards the end of the dead heads. Just as I reached the edge he tackled me into the open field. People were already on edge from the scream as people came running. We spun around on the ground a couple times as he began choking me.
Before I knew it I was being lifted away from him as he was being restrained by a couple gladers. I tumble back towards the muscular arms that had held of me. I glanced back to see the one and only captain gally who was glaring at the stung runner. He held me close not letting me go, he didn't seem to be focused on me though.
"Y/N are you alright?" Newt asked concerned.
"Uh yeah just a little shaken up," you said quiet literally shaking lightly. Gally gave you a quick glance before bringing his attention back to the fellow glader. He let go of you and walked towards the others, though you hated him with every bone in your body at the moment you were still slightly upset by the loss of contact.
"Hey Y/N?" You glanced down to see chuck with watery eyes.
"Hey what's up buddy?" You say slightly squaring to be down at his level.
"What's going to happen to Ben?" He says shapely tears threatening to fall. You looked at him with a sorrow face scared to tell him the truth.
"That's not Ben anymore, bens gone chuck. He left the second he got stung," you say in a way trying to make him feel better about what's about to come. You saw the others bring Ben to the doors, chuck clung to the side of your shirt as you put an arm around him and started to walk over.
Some of the boys had long sticks with a flat end getting prepared to do the inevitable. You heard the stung gladers cries as he was doing anything to try and stay.
"MINHO PLEASE... PLEASE" he yelled in tears mixed in with pain. "Y/N PLEASE IM SORRY PLEASE PLEASE!" You looked at your feet as chuck dug his face into your side. You slowly rubbed his arm as an effort to comfort the boy. You tried to hide your distress as to not alarm the boy or come across as weak to the other gladers especially the builders knowing you'd never live that down. It's really hard being the only glader that seemed to be a good parental figure.

"You okay?" You heard an oh so familiar voice ask.
"I'm not in the mood gally," you sighed. He opened his mouth the argue though seemed to decide against it. He sat next to you in silence, gally seemed all tough and mean, and well... he is. But he can be nice-er and a comforting presence. As you started to replay the events of today you felt your eyes begin to water. You desperately tried to fight of the tears that were getting close to overflowing though eventually failed. You put you head in your hands and started to sob not really caring who judged you. To your surprise gally pulled you into his side in an embrace.
You gave in and meted into his touch. Your just started to weep, weep about everything. How Ben was stung, how he tried to kill you, his screamed, his pleases and overhearing Minho tell Abby that there's no way out though you weren't going to tell gally that. He rubbed his hand on your back resting his chin on top of your head. You sniffled into his shirt breathing in his natural scent.
He tucked some of your hair behind your ear and continued rubbing soothing circles into your back. You felt slightly more calm as your breathing and heart rate slowly came down. You slowly loosened your grip on his shirt realising your knuckles were white from clinching to him like your life depended on it.
"Thanks," you mumbled.
"How are you feeling?" He questioned with a softer tone than usual.
"I don't know," you said partially because you had a mix of emotions but also because of the raging butterflies in your stomach. You glanced up at him to see him glaring daggers at the gladers staring. He looked down at you as you made eye contact. He put his big rough calloused hands lightly on your face. He was so surprisingly gentle, his hands only barely touched the tiny hairs on your face. His hand travelled across your jaw to your chin keeping you looking at him though you had no intention of looking away.
"Hey gally?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you going to kiss me or not?" He looked at you slightly taken back though he smirked and closed his eyes. Your eyes fluttered closed as you shared a gentle kiss. You both pulled away and shared a small soft smile.
You could hear smooching noises from the other gladers and wold whistles. You smiled and rolled your eyes. He smirked and looked over to the gladers. They all froze.
"Don't you shanks have work to do?" He half-yelled. The crowed scurried off without another word or whistle.
