You avoided Thomas. You did not know why you listened to Gally, but you did.

Thomas was standing across from you, around the fire. A new Greenie had shown up today. You couldn't help but keep glancing at Thomas.

You didn't understand why Gally thought something was up with him, he seemed so perfectly normal. You looked up once more and this time he was looking back.

You looked away quickly and moved away from the crowd.

You rested on a tree. Oh how you wanted to get to know Thomas. It's too late now.

"Why?" The voice startled you.

"Thomas? Wh-what are you doing here?"

"Y/n, why have you avoided me for a whole month after you told me you'd talk to me later? I waited for you. Every single day of this awful month. Day after day I told myself you'd come, but you didn't."

"I-" you were lost for words.

"I don't know why I feel this way, but since the day I met you I've wanted to get to know you. I wanted to learn many things about you, but why didn't you let me? Why have you been ignoring me? Why?"

"Thomas, Gally said-"

"Gally!? Of course. I should've known it was him!" You just watched him as his face turned a dark red.

"I'm going to beat that shank." He muttered.

"Why did you listen to him!!" He began walking away from you.

"Thomas where are you going?" He did not respond.

"Thomas!" You yelled.

He continued to walk away. When you were near the bonfire you noticed that he was heading towards Gally. Gally was with his friends, and he did not notice Thomas.

Thomas walked up to him and punched him hard across the jaw. Gally staggered back a hand on his jaw. He looked up furiously.

"Why the hell would you tell y/n to stay away from me!? I get that you dislike me but badmouthing me especially to y/n is too much!"

"She doesn't want you! She wants me! Me only!!"

"You stupid shank!" he began running towards Gally again.

"Thomas stop!" You yelled. Everyone turned to you.

Gally walked towards you, but you stepped back.

"How could you?" You cried.

"It was for your own good, y/n."

"My own good!? You told me to stay away because you wanted me all to yourself!? What the hell is wrong with you!" You gulped,

"Gally..I think maybe you should stay away from me."

His face dropped, "what? No. Y/n please."

"I can't be around someone who's going to lie to me just to be the only one to "have" me. I don't like liars. And I especially would never fall in love with one." You felt a tear roll down your cheek.

"I'm sorry Gally, but I'm done. If you thought that out of the friendship I gave you, you would receive more by making me dislike Thomas, you were wrong."

You finally looked up to Thomas, "I am so sorry. If you do not forgive me, I will understand." Deciding that the crowd had enough, you walked away.

-

You wiped the tears off your face.

"Y/n?"

You turned around to face Thomas.

"Hey.." You muttered.

"It's okay, I forgive you. But do you really dislike me?" His voice sounded hurt.

You hugged him, "no of course not. Actually, the opposite. Everyday I went with ignoring you, I felt more like I needed to talk to you instead of wanted to talk to you. I did want too, but I knew that I needed you." You said truthfully.

"Okay, good. I was worried that what Gally said would've made you hate me. Y/n?"

"Yeah?" You said looking up to him.

"Can we actually get to know each other more from now on? And maybe you know, build a relationship?"

You smiled, "of course."
