Broken Wings ➳Gally{2}

"Does the term suspension mean nothing to you?"
Ava walks in to the lab room where all my files are splayed out get all I'm focussed on is watching the enzymes try fight off this virus.

But nothing was strong enough.
I was on my tenth trial, and I was getting nowhere.
And it was fucking eating me alive.
Because now, it's all about saving Newt.

"You know I saw that look in your eyes earlier,"
I mutter not even looking her direction as my eyes are focussed straight in the microscope.

"You've given up. I can't do that."
Not right now. My best friends life is on the line.

"You've given in."
She says almost amused that I've finally committed fully.

"I-I can't give up now. I cant." I shake my head trying to swallow that horrific lump in my throat.

"Who is it?"
She walks herself over now and I finally lift my gaze to rest upon hers.
And she settles herself down on the chair beside me looking through all my lab work.

"Who is what?" I say back dumbfounded and she just smirks back at me as if she knows my plan.

"Who's infected?"
She asks me and my stomach sinks to the souls of my feet every time my heart is set on Newt.

"A friend."
I answer her and she's almost amused by my response.

"You have your dads looks, but your all me, you know that?" She tucked my curls behind my ears and she looks at me as if she's admiring me.

"Your passion, even if it isn't for different purpose. You have the right passion."

"I-I can't lose him Ava."
My voice finally breaks through and I let my walls shatter in front of her when I look fully into her eyes.

"I know sweetheart." Her thumb carries my cheek and my heart grows the slightest bit of warmth just for a moment.

"I may be a monster to you, but I'll always be your mother first, even if you never call me it. I'll always have your best interest."

Wow, I genuinely cant recall the last time our conversations have been so civil for this long.
"Blake! Blake...oh shit."

Graham and Luke both walk in without their masks on and as soon as they see Ava they straighten up instantly.
And it makes me laugh.

"I see you have other company, you should go home."
She stands herself up before placing her hand on my shoulder before turning to face Bob and Steve.

"Gentlemen, take good care." She says to them giving one last node before walking out the door.
And the moment she's turned to the corridor both of them sprint to me.

"That bitch got her moved! Teresa! She moved Avery and I don't know where she is they're not telling me and-" Luke cuts himself off by punching the glass and quickly groaning back to the pain.

"We're getting that bitch Teresa, and we're getting her tonight." Graham steps forward and this is the first time since Chris I've seen him pissed.

"Wait wait what do you mean they're not telling you-"
"I mean they moved her, for someone smart you're showing a lot of stupid!" Luke snaps at me instantly and I flinch by the rise of his tone.

Oh fuck. The plan was so much more easier when I knew where they kept Avery.
"Why why would they do that."

"Because you're too distracted."
Fuck, great, this is fucking my fault. I'm gonna actually shoot myself. Before I shoot Teresa first.

I pace around back and forth the room realising how much shit was actually going on.
I can't find no cure! I have to save my sister! I have to save Minho.
