Gally's nightmares began everytime he closed his eyes. He watched Chuck jump out in front of Thomas and the bullet burry itself in the kids chest. No matter how many times he dreamt it,Gally killed him. It was the worst thing Gally had ever done. Even though he couldn't remember much of it,even though he had been stung he still hated himself for it and he always would.

But how things started shouldn't matter. How things end,that's important. That's the theory.

The safe heaven was wonderful and Gally was thankful he was one of the very few who made it. He spend many a night awake sobbing and praying that Chuck would've lived instead of him. He deserved to be here,I don't. Every single time Gally saw Thomas he saw Chuck. He was Thomas' best friend. Thomas had fought like hell for all of them and he also knew what it was like to live with tremendous guilt and blood on his hands. He spotted Thomas one night sitting by the memorial to the lost. Gally let out a shaky sigh and sat beside him. Thomas said nothing,just watched the tide. The sea was peaceful,just the way they should be now they were safe and sound at last.

"There are so many things I want to tell you," Gally mumbled "but I can't." He watched Thomas tie a knot in a tiny piece of rope "didn't know you could do that Greenie."

Thomas nodded,still not looking at Gally. "Chuck taught me." He declared "remember him?"

Gally nodded "yeah I remember him. I remember him everyday."

"Newt was right. You were stung and out of your mind. I'm sorry I'm being so bitter-"

"Don't apologise." Gally cut in "you are a person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and just kept walking. I respect you Thomas. I am sorry,for killing him."

Thomas nodded and let himself look at the boy. He placed a shaky hand on Gally's shoulder "I forgive you... You wrote his name on the rock didn't you?"

"It was the least I could do."

"You can't keep thinking about it. Guilt will eat you alive Gal." Thomas whispered "do you remember when I came up in the maze? You pushed me away before the doors closed. You saved my life. I never thanked you."

"Thomas don't-"

"No Gally. You are gonna let me thank you. You helped me and now I helped you. You are not alone. You act like you're all alone here but your not. You're not alone."

Gally let out a small smile "thank you." He nudged closed and face Thomas,pulling him into an embrace. Surprisingly,the hug was nice. Thomas felt safe and so did Gally. Thomas never had felt safe,not until now. He decided not to tell Gally this and just to keep holding him close.

And everything felt like it was going to be okay.

The tears fell down Gally's face "we can't leave."

"We didn't Gally,were out. We're free."

"Free. You think we're free out there? No. No there's no escape from this place."

"Gally listen to me. You're not thinking straight. You're not. Now,we can help you. Just put down the gun."

"I belong to the maze."

"Just put down the gun."

"We all do."

That's when he fired the trigger...

"NO!" Gally screamed as he woke. He panted heavily and gripped the sheets,trying to comprehend what was real and what wasn't. Was this real?

"Gally!" He was met by a wide-eyed Thomas. "Gally you're safe. You're okay."

All Gally could no is nod as he pulled Thomas to him. He sobbed and clung to him tightly,burrowing his head in his shoulder.

Thomas had told Gally he had nightmares too,usually about Newt and Teresa. But when he woke he'd never scream or cry. He was strong enough to be brave. But when they held each other,in the darkness,it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there,the nightmares are still walking. When they held each other they did not feel safe,but better. "It's all right." They would whisper "I'm here." And then Thomas would "I'll never leave you." For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad.

Hey guys I really ship Thomally. I loved their hug at the end of the movie. I really hope Gally found peace despite his guilt for Chuck. They both deserve the world. I hope you guys are all doing wonderful. Have a great week! See you all soon with another update😊💫
