Glader Love

Another Hard Night

Bree's POV

That night everyone was a little stressed. No one could seem to fall asleep because they were all worried about the gardens! That was one of our only sources of food and now it's ruined.
We all went to bed hungry that night because all of the vegetables we needed were destroyed and squished. Chuck was having the hardest time. I could hear his stomach growling along with alot of the other Gladers and my own.
"Thomas? Are you awake?" I whisper whil rolling over to the side he was on.
"Yeah. Are you okay?" he whispered back sounding very concerned. I smile.
"Yeah, but I'm really hungry and I can't sleep. I also have no idea where Alex is and I'm a little worried." I say with a yawn.
"She is probably with Newt. I'm sure she is fine. He said while reaching over and holding my hand. My hammock sways back and forth from him pushing me gently. I close my eyes and take deep breaths. I hear Thomas yawning.
"You're making me tired, Thomas, but I want to talk to you some more. This seems like the only time we can actually have a conversation without someone starting anothed argument." I say sadly. I hear him take a deep breath.
"Come over here and sit with me." he whispered while sitting up in his hammock and leaning against the post from where it hung. I tiptoe out of my hammock and sit with him. I lay my head on his shoulder and he wraps his arms around me. I look over to see Newt and Alex doing the same, but they fell asleep sitting up. I sigh; all of this is completely ridiculous.
"Bree?" Thomas whispered while laying his head on mine.
"Yeah?" I say sleepily. I'm half asleep right now.
"I think you are the best person in the world and I wouldn't trade you for anything. I love you so much. I want you to always remember that. No matter what happens I love you." he whispered while pulling me closer to him. Our stomachs growl at the same time and he moans. He has had a really hard day and this makes it worse.
"Goodnight, Thomas." I say while closing my eyes. He rubs my arm softly.
"Goodnight, Bree. I have a feeling I will be up for a long time so if you need something, Im right here, okay?" he said softly. "Bree?" he asks. I fell asleep in his arms and slept perfectly the rest of the night.

Thomas's POV

As Bree fell asleep in my arms, I hear shuffling behind me. I turn around gently to see Gally walking quickly out of the homestead. What is he up to? I soflty get up and lay Bree down in my hammock and follow Gally. After five minutes of walking we reach the gardens. He digs through the dirt and kicks it everywhere. I watch closely from behind a tree and make note of his every move. He is the one who did this! But why would he do this to Newt? I have to figure out why. No one gets away with making my bestfriends life miserable without getting payback. I sneak up behind Gally.
"Gally! What the heck are you doing!" I snap loudly. He whips around super fast.
"Thomas! Did you follow me out here?" he snapped back at me.
"Yes and I just happened to see you make the garden even worse than it was! Why are you doing this!" I half shout at him. I clench my first so tight that it hurts.
"It's revenge, Thomas. He stole Alex from me! He knew that I liked her. I even told him! Newt and I were actually great friends until Alex showed up. I told Newt that I liked her right after she fell asleep so she didn't hear and then they ended up dating! He knew I liked her and he completely stole her!" he said while wiping his hands on his pants. I stand in shock.
"Gally. I'm sure Newt didn't mean to hurt you. He liked Alex too and she just happened to like him back, so he went for it. If they ever break up you do realize that you could have a chance with her, right? Don't you want Newt to be happy? He is your friend after all." I say with a yawn. I wonder if Bree woke up and is looking for me, but I doubt it. She seemed tired.
"You're right, Thomas. I should just be happy for Newt. Tomorrow I'm telling everyone it was me, but I'm not saying that you convinced me too. I still don't like you or your dumb girlfriend. Bye Thomas." Gally said while starting to walk the back way to the homestead.
"Bye Gally. And watch what you say about Bree!" I snap. I go back to the homestead and see Bree is still asleep. I decide not to disturb her so I go to her hammock and sleep. Tomorrow should be interesting.
