The Vow {ON GOING}

disclaimer;

if there is any similarities to the book or movie, that's probably because that's where I got it from. James Dashner owns everyone except Evelyn, Felix, and a couple others.

"Gally?" Minho asked.

"I thought he was dead?" Felix said, more of question.

"Thomas beat the shit out him," I commented, causing Thomas to glare at me.

"Well obviously your friend is still alive," Brenda piped up.

"Gally was taken from WICKED a few months ago," Aiden offered.

"By who?" Thomas and I asked simultaneously.

Aiden fidgeted slightly and Thomas sighed loudly.

"Come on, let's just find Gally and get this over with. Maybe he has some information on how we can destroy WICKED."

I nodded.

"Sounds like a plan."

I began walking down the sidewalk quickly, sensing someone beside me. I glanced to the side, finding Minho there. He sent me a nervous smile and rubbed his hand across the back of his neck. His eyes never met mine and I began to feel myself grow nervous.

"Minho, are you feeling okay?" I asked cautiously.

His cheeks burned a bright red and he nodded timidly.

"I'm fine, Princess, don't worry about me."

I looked at him suspiciously, but nodded slowly and continued on. The rest of the walk was silent, beside the short whispers between Brenda and Jorge. My heart pounded in my chest as we walked along, worrying we weren't going to be able to find it. My worries were soon put to ease, however, when we arrived to a run down part of the city. I glanced up at the street sign, reading Oaken Street.

"We're here," I muttered.

"Who's going first?" Brenda asked.

"Me," I said immediately, stepping up to the front door of the apartment.

"Princess..." Minho started.

"No, Minho. I need to do this," I argued.

Minho and Aiden exchanged looks before turning to me and nodding.

"I'm next," Felix and Minho said simultaneously, causing the two to turn and glare at each other.

"Back down, Shuckface," Minho growled.

"Why shouldn't I go next?" Felix snapped.

"Shutup and go third, both of you!" I snapped. "Let's just get this over with, please."

The boys nodded timidly and Aiden pushed in front of the rest. I nodded and opened the front door quickly. I walked past the empty desk in the front and cautiously led the group up the stairs, hand resting on my gun. I came to the landing and glanced around, eyes landing on the door marked 5. I took a deep breath and walked up to it, rapping my fist against it. My breath hitched in my throat as the door opened, revealing the same Gally that I had last seen that day we escaped the Maze. His eyes widened and he yanked me into his arms and hugged me tightly.

"I didn't think you'd show," he whispered breathlessly.

I squeezed him tightly, suddenly feeling a sense of comfort when hugging him. I pulled away and his eyes lingered on mine before flickering to everyone.
