Choosing freedom ➳ Gally

Defending You

"See Justin this is why I missed you."
I smile as I chew my food. He was finally back up on his feet.
"Missed this face too?" He asks and I scoff shaking my head.

"No it was quite pleasant to not look at that. Why'd you think I let Clint deal with you." I say as I sit on the damp grass near the fire actually filling up my stomach.

I forgot what it was like to be full. I think feeling full is better than any feeling.
"Damn your shirts looking a little dirty. Maybe you should take it off."
Doug walks past as he carries the wood away and I roll my eyes at him not even giving him the pleasure of my voice.

"I've been out two weeks and he's still the same." Justin states and I nod along nod along with a sigh.

"Yeah, what else did you expect?" I ask as I turn my head to see Jack with his plate of food sitting next to us.

And then my eyes set on Henry who was currently stood with Alby and it sounded like they were in long conversation.

"Hey so I might be a runner soon." Justin says and my attention immediately snaps back to him.
"Yeah I heard Alby talking about that." Jack adds on and my eyes widen to surprised.

"What? They're actually making you a runner?" I ask surprised and he nods along. "Jealous?" He raises his brows.

"Course I am." I groan I feel the mood slowly drain away. "God I'm so pissed didn't get to see you almost kill yourself-"

"Dude lower your tone before Gally hears ya." Dan clears his throat quickly muttering and I snap my head to him confused.

"Huh?"

"You're not supposed to blurt stupid shank." Jack hits Justin's arm and I look at all of them so confused.
"Okay spit it out or I spit in your breakfast."

"Gally said if we ever talked about you running in the maze the other day...well you saw the way he grabbed Doug when he tried to touch you." Dan explains and my eyes widen as I look at them. So Gally has been telling everyone I was hands of.

"Why? Gally hates me."

"Apparently it was Albys orders." Justin adds along with a shrug.
Bullshit.

"What you slintheads talking about now?"
Gally sits and everyone grows so silent as they act like they've seen food for the first time.

"What?" Gally asks as he shoves his burger in his mouth and I glare at him kind of mad. I don't need protecting in here. I'd rather have it to my face than behind my back.

I stand up with my plate staring down at him.
"I've just lost my appetite." I say clearing my throat. "That means I'm not hungry. In case you dumb builders don't understand."

I say as I step over the log ready to walk of. "What's her problem?" Gally asks the rest of them as my back is turned.

"She's probably just on her period." I hear Doug's voice and I squint my eyes so mad. But for once I resist the urge to scream and fight back.

What made it worse was that I in fact was on my period.

And just walk away.
"Giving you a hard time?" Newt laughs as he sees me and I sit with him groaning as I take his drink gulping it.

"You need to give me more Med Jeck hours." I complain shuffling more beside him.
I see Zart as he walks to us his plate of food almost finished.

"Hey Blake. Newt." He says sitting down forming a small group. "Hey Zart."

"Hey your hairs getting long." I state looking at his blonde curls and he brushes a hand through them. "Can I cut it?" I immediately smirk at the idea and he shakes his head.
