Don't Worry Darling

"A woman in need of discipline"

The cold breeze that ran through the cabin woke me from my dreamless sleep in a startle; I sat up. Only to see Gally's side of the bed empty. It smells like him; pathetically, I hug his pillow to my chest to calm my heart down as I realize I'm completely alone. where is he?; looking at the bedside table, I notice a letter lying there with a dress on the side.

" Little one, I put some clothes by the side of the bed for you! Take a bath, put on your clothes and eat. There are fruits and orange juice on the table, And a water bottle in case you get thirsty. Behave; I will be back by lunchtime".

Putting on the Clothes after my bath, I noticed his weird choice of clothing. a very short dress; that goes around my middle thigh, with straps and... Gosh! My back is almost all out! He didn't put shoes or panties. He must have forgotten. He's the leader after all, probably too busy to remember such stupid things, feeling naked with only the silky light pink dress.

As I eat my breakfast. I find another note on the cover of a thick book, I take a hold of the heavy book and read the title that's written "useful woman's guide". Mister Gally must have thought I would get bored; that's very nice of him. When I finished breakfast, I looked around the cabin noticing that there was some Dust around the corners of the place.

it Would be nice to clean the place for Mister Gally, he must be tired all the time to do that. I go to the door for the mission of looking for some cleaning supplies and notice that the door is locked. Why would Mister Gally lock the door? Maybe he was afraid of what the Gladers Would do. He expressed to me how worried he was about it. I shake off the feeling of hurt the action made me feel; doesn't he trust me? I will let this one pass because I know that he cares for me but I still feel like I'm some kind of prisoner!

My mission of cleaning the place failed misery so after I make the bed and organized the dishes that I left for breakfast, I read the book left me, I can't help myself thinking that maybe I would be a good wife to him...I would like to be his wife, he's a very good man and I know that he would protect me and even though I don't know him a lot, I trust him, there's not a lot of men out there who would do that for women.

When I'm at the chapter on 'how to do haircuts', Mister Gally opens the door quietly, I can't help but jump on him, hugging his waist with my legs and clutching his neck to my shoulder. God, it felt like ages, hugging me back tightly, he walked us to the table and put me there. stepping in between my legs, holding my face he said "I missed you, little one" I hugged him again but now; he holds my neck to his chest, we stayed in that position for a minute; I feel his masculine smell, like sweat and dirt and somehow still manages to be the most delicious smelling thing in the world.

"Mister Gally", I said in a small tone; not wanting to break our emotional moment. "Why did you lock the door? I know that probably was for my safety but I felt a bit like a prisoner" There's a pregnant pause, trying to find the right words without hurting him felt almost impossible, " ..could I maybe go out today, just to see how the Glade works and meet some people; with you by my side, of course, so I know that no one is going to do anything bad to me". I feel tense looking up at the harsh expression.

I shrink in fear, "and why would I do that?" he says in a scary calm tone, "I didn't want to make you mad; I'm sorry, I just want to explore a bit, I'm bored!" he then holds my jaw tightly, making me look up at him with tears forming already. "Am I not enough for you? I'm making sure that everyone gets the rules completely for YOUR safety and you worry about being bored?".

I'm trying to blame the stress of leadership for his words, but I feel anger rise in me as I pry his hand off my face and try to push him off of me, to no avail, he doesn't even move an inch. I scream as I punch his chest several times. "This is unfair! I obeyed you on everything you asked me to do and all I'm asking is...let me out just a little bit" more punches are delivered till he holds my arms to my back forcefully, not once opening his mouth; my anger subsides as I feel sadness coming, I rest my head on his chest on a begging manner, "I don't want everyone hating me just because I'm a girl, okay? I want to be part of this...I want to help, Please?".
