Broken Wings ➳Gally{2}

Finally Free

"Don't you dare touch her!"
Oh great, mother's back.
Let three days of hell begin.

"Christ mom it's not like he's actually hurting me, we're just training." I groan annoyed as I pick myself up from the ground.

"Come Ava I'm just spending time with my daughter. I only get a day with her."
"If I see you lay another hand on her that looks more than training-"

"Mom!" I instantly yell at her so confused. Is she serious? Dad would never. Right? They fight but he'd never hurt her or me.

"We have a global deadly virus to be worrying about don't add anything more onto my plate Philip." She aggressively points her finger to his chest and she turns her head to me with the same deathly look.

And then I see dad's eyes. They grow cold when he looks at her. Like he has no soul. I see that look so many times I think I've adapted it.

"Hey look it's Blake."
I turn my head to see Thomas and Galileo stood with a few of the boys trailing behind them and my head instantly snaps towards them.

They stare at me and then they realise my parents standing behind me.
"Go." Mom pats my shoulder and I use it as my escape sprinting away hating to hear their arguments.
They get worse every time. But they tell me they love each other.

And mom says her bruises come from medicine.  Or she says she always trips or she yells at me for staring at her because I shouldn't be distracted from learning.

"Thomas." I run to him as I see Newton and Minho behind smiling at the two. I try my best to ignore Galileo but he's always there. He always has something to say. He's always so mean.

"Everything okay?"
He asks and I plaster on a nod and a smile.
"Course. Like everyday right?" I say as we walk through the halls and I turn my head back to see Gally staring straight at me.

"Got something interesting to look at grumpy?"
I raise my brow at hit bitterly and he just shakes his head keeping his mouth shut.

"Then stop looking like it."

"You think she could actually kill someone? You guys are crazy." I hear Frypans voice but my eyes are so heavy to open. I can't force them open.
The car moving is the perfect rocking chair to sleep in.
That was a bad analogy but it was in the right direction.

I don't even know how long I've been passed out. I don't even care, I'd rather sleep than listen to whatever they have to say.

"She sure looked like she was ready too." Minhos voice is piping right by my ear because I sit next to him my head resting on his side.

"It's not hard to do, especially with the right motivation."
Brenda chimes in and I decide to ignore their conversations because honestly even I'm convinced that I was ready to do it.
I felt like I could've killed him for the smallest comments he made.

"Yeah well she's had a lot to be angry about." Newt says and I'm not sure if he's trying to defend me or not.

"Marcus knows her parents. Who are they? Is she a threat to us-"
"No. No she's not a threat." Thomas instantly defends.
"She's the same as all of us so let's just let it go."

"Don't smile a lot do you?"
Yeah because walking around with a bruised eye is the perfect reason to smile is it now?
"Why? Miss my smile do you?" I turn to Minho with a bitter grin and he raised his hands up in defence.

"Hey hey friendly fire Blake. I'm on your side, whoever you're fighting."

"Explains the eye, she probably lost-"
"Oh shut it Galileo. Shove your comments down where someone else cares today."
I roll my eyes as I stare him sitting opposite me with a bitter grin.
