Your Dream Man

~2~ Dylan O'Brein(Thomas)

I have been at the glade for about five weeks now. It has been a lot of work. I am a medjack and I'm pretty sure it's one of the hardest jobs in the glade. Gally, or Captain Eyebrows, is always yelling and bossing me around. Saying that "I'm not doing my job right!" Or, "Go do it again!" You know, that guy is a SHUCK FACE!!

But, Thomas is always there to support me. Saying stuff like, "Hey. Your doing great!" Or, "Don't worry about Gally. He just doesn't see how great of a worker you are." Thomas was the newest Greenie in the glade. Thomas has already befriend Newt, Minho, Frypan, Chuck and I. He's a really great guy. But he sure likes getting him self in danger.

One night, I had gone to bed early. All the guys were drinking Gally's secret drink and laughing and goofing off. It was hard being the only girl. But the guys treated me with respect. And i liked that. By the time i could fall asleep, all the guys had gone to bed as well.

But, shortly after that, something was shaking me. I woke up confused. "Gally? What do you want?" I whispered to him, rubbing my eyes and sitting up. "Come with me." He also whispered and started to walk into the woods. "Wait! Gally!" I called, still keeping it at a whisper, I shot up and run to follow.

Gally didn't say anything as i followed behind him. Then he stopped walking and knelt down. I joined him and looked in the direction he was. "Thomas?"  I thought. Thomas was sitting on the ground, up in a ball, crying? "I need you to talk to him Susan. Your the only one, besides Newt, that will make him talk." Gally whispered.

Then he walked off! Leaving me there with a crying Thomas. I just stayed in my form for a few moments. "How am I to do this? I don't just go up to him do I? Oh My Jesus Christ!" Worried and nervous, I got up and walked towards Thomas. Immediately, Thomas shot up his head, to see what was coming. Then hid his face again, hiding his tears. "S-Susan. W-What are you doing here? You sh-should be asleep."

It was to clear that Thomas had been crying. But he was trying his hardest to make it sound like he hadn't been. "I couldn't sleep. So i want for a walk. Then i thought i heard crying coming from this way. Is everything ok?" I didn't want to get to close to him, so I stayed in the same spot I was in. "Y-Yah. Everything is f-fine. What are you talking about?" Thomas tried to pay cool and stands up, leaning agents the tree. "Thomas. Please don't try to hide from me. I want to help you."

He was so easy to read at this time. Silence filled the air. Then a sniff. Then another.  Then Thomas walked to me, rapping his large arms around my tiny body. Digging his face into my shoulder, socking my shirt. I rubbed his wide back with my tiny hands. "Shh. It's ok Thomas. It's ok. Everything is going to be ok." "NO IT'S NOT!!! EVERYTHING IS NOT GOING TO BE OK SUSAN!!!" Thomas shouted and shoved me way from him, causing me to tumble onto the ground.

"We are here!! In this Terrible place!!! Not remembering ANYTHING!!! AND YOU TELL ME ANYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK!?!? SUSAN!!!! HOW CAN EVERYTHING BE OK!?!?" Thomas yelled. He was mad. So mad. He continued to yell, saying words I couldn't repeat. hearing him yelling at me, caused me to get emotional. I tried to get up, but something was wrong. I just fell right back down.

And something hurt. My knee hurt. Alot. "T-Thomas..."I tried to spit out, without sounding like I was going to cry. But there was no hope. Tears fell done my ugly face. Thomas didn't seem to hear though. I tried to get up again and walk away. I was only able to make about three steps before falling. Then, Thomas saw. And want silence. I cried out, holding my knee in pain. "T-Thomas... Help pl-please"

I cried out again. But Thomas only stared. "Why are you just standing th-there!!!????" I yelled, looking at him. But he didn't say anything. Finally! He knelt down and ran back to camp and to the Madjack center. He placed my down gently onto the bed. Then everything want black quickly.

I woke up from the sun, shining on my face. I moaned from the light. I looked at my surondings. I was alone. I could hear the sounds of the other Glader's working. And, of course, Gally yelling at everyone. I struggled to get up. Placing my good leg onto the ground, about to get up, a hand shoved my body back down.

The person's hands were on both of my shoulders. Thomas. He starred into my eyes and didn't know. His grip on my shoulder became tighter. But it didn't seem to hurt. Minutes passed of us just starring into each others eyes. Then he cleared his throat.

"I um... I'm sorry about last night Susan..." He ebmited, nervously. His hands became less tense. "It's fine..." I spoke, trying not to make eye contact, but it was really hard. His eyes were soo beautiful. His beautiful brown eyes. I wanted to get lost in them so badly.

"Is your knee going to be OK?" Thomas asked, finally letting go and looking at my hurt knee. "I didn't know... But I probably won't be able to work for a while." I tired to move up a little, but the pain from my knee shot a long, painful sting, up and down my body. I groaned from the pain.

"Don't try to move." Thomas quickly came back to me and help me find a convertible spot. I lied my head back, letting my long red hair fall. "Thanks Thomas." I thanked him with a weak smile. "No problem Rose. I'll see you later. But you need to sleep." O nodded and closed my eyes to rest.

And at that moment. I could have sworn that I felt the warmth and softness of Thomas lips, beginning placed on my cheek, before he left.
