Indecisive | The Maze Runner | Gally | Will Poulter

Confessions

Lythia figured the next day was the right time for her to start working again. Even if Gally persisted on telling her just to have one more day off.

'I just wanna get into the swing of things. We can start before sunrise and I'll be fine by the time everyone else joins in' she told him.

But before she did, she wanted to tell him about the note she had in her pocket the day she got here. It seemed safe, she trusted him, and her dream she had last night made her finally understand, even if it didn't work out the way they wanted it to. Whoever they  were.

'Choose what ever job you want to do.' Gally told her, as he began chopping wood in the early morning for albys grave. As much as she wanted to enjoy the view of a sweaty muscled Gally with his shirt sleeved rolled up above his toned shoulders chopping wood with an axe, she really needed to get this out.

'Gally I need to tell you something' she blurted. 'I can trust you right?' she finished. He stood up, dropping the axe. 'With anything.' He wiped his forehead and directed his attention to Lythia.

She hesitated. There was someone else she needed.

 'I need to go get Thomas as well. He should hear this' she said.

'Thomas? Why do you need him here for? Can't you trust me?' He was all defensive again at the mention of Thomas' name.

'We need to sit down.'

Lyhia fetched Thomas to the hammocks, as she sat in between them both to break the tension a little bit. The sun hadnt risen yet and she wanted to do one more thing before the walls opened.

'So Thomas knows a bit of this. And you know a bit of this. But I need to tell you both each bits. So you have an understanding of where I'm coming from.'

She told them everything. Every single detail from her parents talking about this place, to her mother getting eaten, her father forcing her here, the white rooms and the lab coats, the talking outside their doors, the mention of 'WICKED', the plotting they done to potentially set free the gladers, the rule breaking, the ruckus of Thomas bursting in on her and gally, Gally forgetting about her.

Of course it was all in little pieces and none of it really made sense, but a story was being pieced together. Thomas' and Gallys expression were exact, wide eyed and mouth agape.

'So what? You're trying to say we had a plan to stop all this, that ended up failing, getting us all thrown in here? I wonder who came up with that genius plan' Gally sarcastically remarked, head turning to Thomas.

'You chose that as a boyfriend? really Lythia. Get yourself a boy like Chuck.' Thomas scoffed.

 'And why throw us in here if we're just gonna remember everything?' Thomas asked himself

. 'That's the thing.. I don't think we're supposed to remember.' Lythia stated.

'Makes sense that you're related.' Gally scoffed. 'Thomas was always remembering more than he should of when he arrived. Getting us all into trouble and klunk. Right from the very start huh?' He said.

'Will you stop?' Lythia asked, glaring at him. She still didn't know why they hated eachother so much.

 'The thing is, we wernet put in here for this specific purpose. We were relatively safe before. But we fucked up.' she explained.

'So maybe, we're fucking up again in here. If we wernet made for this, then they  fucked up by acting against our  fuck up, by making us fuck up even more, meaning they  fucked up big time' Thomas said, smiling to himself at the fact that the sick people who put them in there weren't that smart after all.

Lythia looked at Gally, to expect him to say something in agreement, hope him to, but he just stared with confusion.

'What he's trying to say, is that we can get out of here. And finish our original plan and expose to the world what sick klunk this really is.' she smiled.

'How do we know what our plan was? And you said WICKED right? That rings a bell.' Gally replied, thinking hard. 'Won't they just keep sending in greenies? We have to find out how these peoples parents are letting them do that' he carried on.

'Because. They're tryna protect us from something.' Thomas replied.

'I dont think protect is the correct word' Gally glared at Thomas.

'Listen I know what your parents said but what about the people that were in here from day one? Newt? Minho? Alby?'Gally spoke.

 Lythia swallowed hard at albys name.

'They weren't put in here to be protected okay? This is some kind of sick experiment. It has to be' she told him.

'And there won't be any more greenies' she stated, staring at the ground.

'What? There's always a greenie.' Gally replied.

'When I came out the box.. I found this note in my pocket.' She handed Thomas the note first. 'Let me see' Gally snapped, snatching the note from Thomas like a 5 year old with a sweet tin. Thomas rolled his eyes, and part of Lythia wanted to giggle at the pathetic unknown rivalry they had between them.

'Why didn't you tell me sooner?' Gally asked, looking disappointed.

'Uh newsflash- you locked her in the slammer the first day she arrived' Thomas mumbled.

Gally sighed.
'What does it mean?'

'I think they wanted to use me to have kids in here. So they could carry on with the whole glade thing. They said in the flashback that they were running out of boys to put in here.' It sounded sick to even think of- a company throwing a vulnerable girl into a feild full of boys expecting their sexual hormones to be uncontrollable.

It worked for Zart. Lythia shivered, telling them about the flash back and what she'd heard the voices say outside the room.

'What kind of slinthead, shuck faced piece of shit would do that?!' Gally growled, standing up in anger. 'I've had it with this dump. I've had it with everything constantly putting you in danger Lythia. We're getting out of here.' He said.

'And we're gonna shut down what ever sick scum came up with the whole idea of this shit' Thomas added.

Finally something they agreed on.

'How far were you off finding an exit? In the maze?' she asked Thomas.

'I uh.. I dont know.. Not far. I think a few months worth of runs would have found us the exit' he said.

'A few months worth? That's not gonna work' Lythia replied, bounding to the map room.
