SOFT SIDES | tmr ; gally x reader

Thirteen

You wake up in the infirmary, lying on your side. A shadow is cast over your body from a figure to your back.

"Newt, you seriously need to stop watching me sleep," you yawn, as you roll over onto your back. But instead of seeing Newt, your eyes lock with the bright blue eyes of the girl from before.

"You have someone watching you as you sleep? Boys are weird." She says, raising her eyebrows.

"No it's not like that I... uhh..." You scramble for the right words.

"Whatever, I'm just trying to figure out what the hell is happening." She says, looking around the room.

You sit up in your bed and hold out your arm. "Well I hear that usually Alby does these introductions, buy hi, I'm Juno, and welcome to the glade."

She grabs your hand and shakes it. "I'm..." She pauses, as if searching for a long lost memory. "Teresa." She finally says with relief. "My name is Teresa. I just woke up in here this morning. Now why can't I remember anything else?"

You motion for Teresa to sit on the opposite side of the bed.

"Alright. Story time."

Teresa smiles and you begin trying to explain the glade as much as you can. For the next hour, you answer her questions as well as you can.

"I wish I could tell you more but that's all I really know," you say. "Someone like Newt or Alby would probably be able to answer any other questions, seeing as they've been here the longest."

"Well then lets go and get them!" Teresa says, leaping off the bed. "I want to meet these filthy little rodents you call boys."

"I wish I could, but I can't really walk. You see I kinda broke my leg..." You ramble off.

"Oh that sucks," Teresa replies. "They didn't make you any crutches or anything?"

At the mention of the crutches, you think of Gally, and remember what happened before you went unconscious. The fight, him shoving you, Newt ordering him to the slammer. Your heart sinks and you frown.

"No? No crutches?"

You look up, almost having forgotten about Teresa standing at the end of your bed. "No, I have a pair of crutches, they just got dropped in the woods somewhere."

"How do you drop your crutches in the woods somewhere and somehow wound up here?"

You shrug, not really wanting to explain the whole thing.

"Whatever. I can just go get them for you!" Teresa says with a wide smile spreading onto her face.

"No you don't gave to..."

"Too late!" Teresa yells, already sprinting out the door and down the stairs.

XXXXX

Half an hour later, Teresa returns with your pair of wooden crutches in her arms. You thank her about 100 times before finally taking them from her and using them to hoist yourself up into a standing position. Together you walk out of the building and are greeted by Newt.

"Holy shuck this chick can run," he says to you, gesturing towards Teresa. "She bolted right out of that building an over to the wood before I could even ask her what the klunk she thought she was doing."

You turn towards Teresa. "Teresa, this is Newt. Newt, this is Teresa."

Teresa's eyes widen. "You're the guy who watches people sleep?!"

"I'm the what?" Newt replies, looking towards you for an explanation.

You just shrug your shoulders.

"Ooooookaaaaay..." Newt says with a look of confusion before turning on his heel and walking back over to the gardens.

You and Teresa break into a fit of laughter.

"That was fun! Lets meet more!" Teresa says, jumping up and down and clapping her hands like a six year old.

You introduce her to Chuck and Alby before it's time for lunch.

"You can sit with me and Chuck and Newt if you want," you say as the two of you walk to the tables.

"Of course! Where else would I go?"

The two of you sit down on one side of the table, and soon Newt and Chuck join you and sit down opposite of you.

When lunch is over, Teresa waves goodbye to you and goes off to some job Alby had assigned her to. You wave back and start your way over to the slammer.

Newt grabs your shoulder. "Where do you think you're going?"

"To the slammer."

"Now why would you want to do that?"

"To see Gally, duh," you say starting to walk away from Newt.

Newt runs in front of you, blocking your path. "Not on my watch."

Anger starts to boil in your chest. "Why not?! You seemed perfectly fine with me and him before!"

"That was before he hurt you and Thomas!" Newt yells. "Number one rule here, you never hurt another glader."

"It was an accident!" You say, throwing your arms in the air.

"No. I've seen him like this before. He used to be like this all the time. I thought he had changed, but he hasn't." The anger fades from his eyes, replaced with softness. "Please. Whatever you do, don't go to Gally."

You nod in defeat, and turn around to the infirmary.

But little does Newt know, a plan is already forming in your head.

XXXXX
Ooooooh! It doesn't look like Newt ships you guys anymore!

Hope y'all are okay with you and Teresa bonding. (I tried to not make her a bitch like in the real books)
