Lovers Maze

Morning

Chapter Seven

I open my eyes and groan as I feel a really bad headache and I roll over and sit up. I turn and see Gally in the spare hammock in my room fast asleep and I smile grabbing my shoes and slipping them one.

I hear a creaking noise as I stand up and turn to see Gally rolling over and he opens his eyes looking at me "up so early?"

I shrug "don't blame me"

He sits up and puts his shoes one and then stands up and walks with me to the door. We exit and make our way outside where everyone is back to their daily routines.

"Where are you helping out today?" Gally asks as we go to the kitchen.

I shrug "I want to go back out, but..." I say and stop myself before I break.

"Don't worry about it"

We get to the kitchen and I see Jeff and wander over "got some of that headache stuff?" I ask.

He nods and passes me a vial "Shouldn't have drunk so much last night"

"It wasn't alcohol, at least" I say and tip the contents into my mouth and swallow the disgusting stuff "at least I think it's not" I add and turn raising an eyebrow to Gally who just shrugs.

"Nearly as strong as it though" Flint says.

I nod "you boys need some help today?" I ask grabbing my food and sitting beside them at the picnic table.

"Don't think so, we have no patients, I'm sure Winston could use the help"

I cringe "no way, nuh huh. Ew, you guys know I can't stand and watch Winston killing those poor animals"

Jeff snickers "what about Gally? You guys are close"

Flint snickers "you better not be thinking what I think you're thinking" I say finishing my food and pointing my fork at him.

"If you mean that you guys have slept together and done multiple things in each other's bed then no" Flint says innocently.

I simply glare at him and I stand up "Shut up, I'm going back out into the Maze today" I say simply.

"You can't do that!" Jeff exclaims standing up and knocking his drink over.

I sigh "I'm not staying here, I'm going back out"

Then I go to the Dead Heads to the Runners hut where I see Minho and Ben still crowded around the table. The other Runners are already in the Maze.

"What are you guys still doing here?" I ask

Minho sighs "just picking a route"

"I'm going back out, I'm was wandering if I could join you guys?" I ask as I grab my gear and attach my already made pack and water to the back.

Minho shrugs and then nods "Yeah, sure"
