Mia's pov-
Two days ago, Amber died.
And Gally's sorrow slowly turned into anger.
He was mad at himself, Ben, the griever that stung Ben, Amber putting herself in danger and so on.
It was at lunch when Kristina and Newt came and sat with Gally and I.
I noticed they were holding each other's hand, it was adorable.
"Gally" Kristina said softly
"What"
"I have to tell you something very important"
"It's gonna have to wait, the banishment's starting in 9 minutes" Alby was always keeping track of the time.
"But Alby, this is important-
"I know, you can tell Gally AFTER the banishment" this time it was a demand
Gally shot up and left with me behind him.
He whipped around, I nearly ran into him and he was anything but happy or anything close.
"Why are you following me?"
"To make sure you don't do anything stupid or-
"Shut up or don't lie!"
"Fine! I'm following you because I'm worried about you! And I care about you!" Once I started I couldn't stop
"What do you-
"I mean do you think I hate you or something?!"
"Why do you care so much?!" He was getting emotional again
"Because your my best friend Gally! What do you think?"
"I don't know" he must've calmed down a lot
What have I done? I almost explained my feelings for him if he let me go on any further.
He just stared at me, I loved having a good reason to look at his face, his eyebrows were ridiculous but an attractive ridiculous... If that makes sense.
It got awkward when we didn't move or talk after that, we just stared at each other.
"Gally" Kristina broke the miserable silence
"Kris I think-
"What is so important that you have to keep bothering me!"
She stopped in her tracks, what ever she wanted it MUST'VE been important.
"Kris, we've gotta go" newt said from behind her
"Yeah, okay" she turned and they walked to the entrance of the maze where the group of Gladers were slowly growing into a crowd.
"Are you coming?"
"I don't think I should" that's the smartest thing I've ever heard him say
"Okay then" I didn't really know what to do
"You should go" he was to certain
"Okay, well I guess I'll see you later?"
"Sure"
He walked off and I did the same
Kristina's pov-
Gladers were lined I'm the sides with spears so Ben couldn't try to run.
He was so messed up now.
He was violent, shaky, he could pass for a phycho.
Minho and another Glader had Ben, his hands tied behind his back tightly.
The Glader I didn't know forced Ben to his knees and Minho took out a small knife and cut the rope holding Bens arms together.
He pushed himself off the ground and looked Alby straight in the eyes and pleaded Alby not to this.
For a second I locked eye contact with him, they were filled with sorrow and tears streamed down his face.
He started saying things
"Ably, please don't send me into the maze!"
"I don't want to die!"
"PLEASE"
"HELP ME"
The maze doors were beginning to close.
Some Gladers at the front of the crowd also had spears, they walked forward so Ben would be forced into the maze.
He was screaming and begging for his life, if this is what some of the Gladers called 'order' I wasn't sure if I could actually agree with that.
Sure Ben attacked ME and the Greenie (Mia. DUH) it didn't feel right.
The doors were inches away from each other and the crying and screaming that everyone heard had vanished.
Newt grabbed my hand and circled it with his thumb
"We should go"
"Was there anything we could've done?" I looked up
"Well usually we have griever serum but obviously we were all out this time" he looked just as upset as I did, but I showed that I was upset.
"I think I just need some air"
He stretched his arms out
"I wonder where we'll find that!"
"I love how you can do that"
"Do what?"
"Make me happy, at the worst of times too"
"Well c'mon, let's go on a hunt for air!"
I caught Minho giving us a questioning look.
"Krisi!" I turned to see Mia
"Uh yeah?" Ambers secret popped into my head, making me kinda sad again.
"I think Gally's calmed down enough"
I nodded "thanks, I'll go talk to him"
"Weren't you gonna go with Newt to look for air?"
"Well Minho, i guess he'll have to wait"
"Yeah well don't leave him to look for air by himself for too long"
"Do you ever shut up?"
"Nope" he smirked
"Well you'll have to practice tha-
"What did you do to your hair?!"
"What? I didn't do anything to it" then I realised I don't know what I look like.
