Choosing freedom ➳ Gally

My Fault Too

Only a few of us walk into the med hut and I shut the door making sure no one else is let in.

"Has he said anything?" Minho asks and she shakes her head.

"No."

Newt slowly creeps forward crouching near him as we all stare at him visibly frightened as he hugs the pillow.
"Alby? Alby you alright?" Newt softens his tone but then Thomas decides to crouch down trying to get in his view.

"Hey Alby, we might have just found a way out of the maze. You hear me we could he getting out of here."
Thomas breaks the news to him and I decide to step forward my arms folded cautiously.

"We can't. We can't leave." His voice breaks in response. "They won't let us." Tears start glassing his eyes.

I quickly glance up to Gally who has his eyes on me and I wait for Alby to spill what he remembers.

"What are you talking about?" Thomas asks.
"I remember." He states and instantly my stomach drops and I feel my blood run cold.

"What do you remember?" I pipe up probably making the wrong decision.
"You." He turns his head to me and my heart starts to beat rapidly out my chest. And then his head spins to Thomas.
"And you. Both of you."

Me and Thomas both quickly glance at each other and I realise Thomas still doesn't remember anything.

"You were always their favourite Thomas. Always." Alby states and I see confusion flicker through his eyes.

"You." His head turns back to me. "You shouldn't be here. You did this." He accused and I feel the tears cloud my vision pushing them down as I let my head drop guilty.

"Why did you come here?" He asks the both of us and I play with my pendant as a type of coping way to stop myself from crying.

But everyone is too distracted from the yelling come from outside as Thomas quickly backs away as everyone rushes out the doors.
Everyone but one person.

"Hey." Gally pressed his hand on my waist stopping me.
"It's all my fault." I whisper to him spinning on my feet to meet my eyes with his.
He doesn't say anything for a moment. He doesn't deny it either.

"Whatever happens, I'm not letting anyone hurt you." He assures me pressing his lips to my head and I nod as we both walk out together.
Right now, I can't stay mad at him. He's the only one I can run to.

"The doors they aren't closing." Was all I hear when I run out following the boys towards the maze doors as we stand by them.

But all of us yell out as the sudden loud sound rushes through our ear drums and Gally instantly placed his hands around my waist as if it was a reflex.

We all shift our heads to the doors opening and we hear rumbling as we all yell once again and I grip onto Gally's hands.

"Okay Chuck, I want you to go to the council haul. Start barricading the doors." Thomas instantly turns to him and I feel Gally's grip loosen as he seems distracted.

"Winston go with him, make sure he's safe." I tell Winston and he nods along agreeing.
"Get the others. Tell them to go to the forest, go hide. Now." Gally orders the others and I quickly walk towards Thomas.

"Minho grab every weapon you can." Thomas starts to say and I quickly glance towards Newt. "Go with him." I tell newt and Frypan also agrees to go along.

"We'll get alby?" I ask Thomas and he nods along as he turns his head to Teresa. "Come on, we have to go."
We all twist our heads hearing yelling coming from the Forrest and I quickly shift my eyes to the maze doors.
