Trapped

I turned around to the normal small laboratory that was almost in every room at Wicked. My blood was still boiling from my conversation with John and slamming the door in his face. The room was small and plain. It had a porthole-like window at the very top of the back wall. It contained two metal tables full of messy test tubes and work supplies from the person that was in here last. It also contained one small sitting chair in the opposite corner. I padded across the room to plop down into the cold chair. I sat there for what seemed like hours. I looked down at my watch to see only 45 minutes had passed. I needed to get out of this room before I went crazy, yet my body remained in the chair. My mind began to wander to thoughts of the maze. I haven't seen Chuck in weeks. Yet I see Gardner every couple of days wheeling carts full of supplies down the long halls. Gally seemed to disappear. I have only seen him twice since we had gotten out of the maze and planted ourselves into wicked headquarters.

I was walking down one of the hallways with no windows. I could hear approaching voices. My heart started to beat faster. I knew there was no reason to because I belonged here. I had a name tag and a uniform, I belonged here. I saw him before he laid eyes on me. His hair was grown out longer than his normal buzz cut. His waves of sandy hair came slightly over his forehead. Bags began to pull under his eyes, and his face was sad. He walked with an uptight-looking lady that had her hair pulled back tightly from her face. She was whispering in a harsh tone to him yet looking straight ahead. She shut her mouth quickly and cleared her throat at the sight of a wavy-haired girl staring at the sad boy next to her. The lack of voice coming out of the woman was enough to snap Gally out of his gaze from looking deeply into the floor. His eyes widened and his face immediately brightened at the sight of me standing there.

"I need to talk to Dr.Willow for a moment." Gally spits out before the woman could say anything. His voice was deep and scratchy from sleep. The woman continued to walk on not waiting for Gally to finish his conversation. He approached me as soon as she had rounded the corner. Gally snaked his arms around my waist and pressed me closer than ever to kiss me with much longing.

"I have missed you so much." I broke the kiss to look into his bright eyes. He nodded his head and hugged me tight as I put my head into his neck, breathing in his smell I had been longing so long for.

"I have to go Willow. We will meet up again, soon." We shared a long kiss before he let go of me and started off again down the hall.

I had never seen Gally at dinner. We had different work schedules so I would always miss him when it came time to eat in the large room in silence with our other coworkers. I decided I wasn't hungry so I sat for all I could stand and then decided to leave. I got up to leave the large white room and out of the double doors. People in lab coats came and went as they pleased. Lost in my own thoughts I was bumped in the shoulder.

"I apologize." A voice I knew all too well. My head snapped up to meet his green eyes and a smirk plastered onto his face. He looked much better than when I had seen him weeks ago. I attacked him in a bear hug. He chuckled at the childish act. He pulled me out to arm's length to scan my face. He crashed his lips onto mine suddenly with force. Time passed until we heard someone clear their throat behind us. Gally broke away and rolled his eyes from the person who interrupted us.

"I gotta go Willow but I'll see you around." He whispered into my ear. I nodded and waved goodbye as he went into the dining hall and I headed somewhere deeper into the wicked headquarters.
