Trapped

1.1

That next morning would probably be the only morning I wouldn't be rushed to get to the lab. I woke up with Gally's arms draped around me. I didn't want to wake him up. I tried to pry his arm from around me. Once I was out of bed I tripped and fell making a large thud, making Gally stir. I turned around just in time to see him wake up.

"Are you okay?" He snickered, knowing I just fell. I burst out laughing, his dazed face from just waking up was hilarious. He looked like a little kid getting woke up.

"I'm fine." I laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked curiously.

"Your face!" I pointed at him, still lying in bed. At that he made the dumbest face possible, making me double over in laughter. Gally let out a deep rumble of laughter from the sight of me almost to the point of tears.

"I've gotta get ready." I waved him off. I walked into his small bathroom and took a long shower. I was used to people telling me I only had 10 minutes in the showers that most people shared. Once I got out I just changed back into the clothes I wore the day before. Once I got out it was already time for lunch, but for once I didn't care.

"Don't you have to get to work?" I asked Gally as I emerged from the bathroom. He was still sprawled on his bed.

"Yeah." That was all he replied with. I chuckled at his short response. "How about we both go get lunch and then head our separate ways?" He asked with eyebrows raised.

"Sounds like a deal to me," I said and he tumbled out of bed to get ready. Not much was said as we walked to the large cafeteria. The halls of Wicked remained quiet all the time. So if we were to talk our voices would be heard for miles. We both slowly ate our lunches so we could spend as much time together as possible. We both laughed in hushed tones together, because even the cafeteria was quiet. It was nice to spend time with Gally. It had been a long time since I had been able to laugh with him. As soon as we were done he lead me into the hallway right outside of the large mess hall. He pulled me into a strong embrace.

"You know where my room is." He whispered into my ear. He made me grin at his words. Then he pulled away and kissed me on my forehead as a goodbye. "I'll see you later Willow!"

"Bye Gally." I waved to him as he began to walk down the long corridor. I stood there wishing I could spend more time with him. Almost wishing we were back in the Maze.
