Devon ' s Pov
I had just gotten my new job as a Med Jack the other day. I was so happy to finally be doing something to help out in the Glade. I always feel like such a burden. But every time I start to feel this way, Thomas always reassures me that I'm not. He has asked me to be his girlfriend a few weeks ago. He was the sweetest guy I could have ever asked for. He treated me like I was his queen , sometimes much to my protests. I always worry about him out in the Maze. I hope he doesn't get hurt. But , just in case, that is why I became a Med Jack. I wanted to be the one to look after him when he's hurt or in need. I felt like it was my duty. Suddenly, Clint and Jeff walk in supporting Thomas between them.
" What happened? " I asked with concern laced in my voice.
" I tripped. I'm sure I sprained my ankle, " He replied. They set Thomas on the bed and I went over to him to check out his ankle. But as I got close to him, he pushed me out of the way a little. I tried again but I hot the same result.
" Don't you want me to see what's wrong?" I questioned him frustrated.
" I do. But I don't want you to help me," He said. I stared at him in disbelief. Why won't he let me help him? Can't he see I'm just trying to be a good girlfriend? I felt so betrayed.
" Fine. Don't let you girlfriend help you" I said with a tone of anger and walked out.
Thomas ' s Pov
I knew she was upset, but she needed to hear me out first. I had Jeff wrap my ankle up. I got up and I found her behind the homestead.
" Devon. Let me explain first, " I stated calmly.
" Okay," she responded. She was always one to listen and I was grateful for that especially right now.
" I didn't want you to help me because I didn't want you to worry about me. If I got really hurt, I wouldn't want to to freak out," I said with as much emotion as I could. " I didn't mean to make you feel bad. Can you forgive me?"
" I forgive you. " I smiled and pulled her into a hug. I hated when she was upset. But having her in my arms meant everything was going to be okay.
