"My... My brother... It's"

I start to say, but before I can finish Minho walks in, as if ready to say something to Newt, but when he sees me he says "Bel... You're up" he says.. I smile at him.

He turns to Newt. "Gally's up" he says. "Wait, Gally was out too? Why?" I ask. "After Gally punched you, Newt started beating him up" he says.

I start to get up. "I need to talk to him." I say.
"Whoa, Bel, you just woke up, you need to take it easy for a while" says Minho.

"No! I need to talk to Gally." I say before leaving the room with Newt and Minho close behind.

"Where's his room?" I ask. Minho sighs. "Second on the right" he says. I open the door without even bothering to knock. He is sitting in a chair beside am unmade bed with his head in his hands, mumbling something.

"Gally" I say. He looks up. He has bruises all over his face. He opens his mouth as if about to say something, but I hold up a hand stopping him. "No, let me speak first, then you can say what you want" I say.

"Before the glade.. Me and you.. We were a couple" I say.

"I know" he says.

"Wait, what?" I ask.

"The day you got here, that night I had the memory. I knew since the beginning" he says.

"Then.. Then why were you so mean to me? Why did you punch me?" I ask. I notice Newt and Minho are still behind me.

"The reason I was so mean to you, was because somehow I knew I had to distance myself from you or the creators would do something. And the reason I punched you.. That was the creators... They made me do it" he says.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, how do we know you aren't lying?" Says Minho. "I knew you wouldn't believe me" Gally sighs.

"How... How?" I ask.

"You haven't seen it... But once..... They controlled one of the Gladers. His name was Abe...he started just like.. Killing people.. It was creepy... We had to banish him.. But anyway.. They can control us... Every time I was mean to you, they were controlling me... And whenever I tried to tell you they would stop me.. But for some reason now.. I know.. I can feel it.. They can't control me anymore... I'm so sorry for what I did to you... I'm so, so sorry." He says. And for the first time ever, I somehow know that he was genuinely sorry.

I feel the tears come.

I swing my arms around his neck and sob into his shoulder.

He wraps his arms around me.

After a while, we pull away, and I wipe away the tears.

"Oh yeah" I say speaking to everyone now. "My brother.... It's..

Chuck"

I say.

In return, I get three astonished looks.

"I need to talk to Tom" I say. "What time is it? Minho why aren't you in the maze?" I ask. "It's about 6 pm... Thomas is probably eating dinner with Chuck.

Sure enough, when I go outside, I see Thomas and Chuck eating at a picnic table.

"Bella... You're up" says Tom. "Yeah.. Um.... I need to talk to you both." I say sitting next to Tom. "Okay, what is it?" He says.

"Uhh.. There's no easy way to say this.... Chuck... You're my brother.. And Thomas's too" I say.

"Wait, what?" They both say in unison.

I turn to Thomas.

"Chuck is our brother" I say.

"Wow" Chuck says.

I walk back to the homestead to our room. Newt is sitting on the bed. He stands up when he sees me.

"Hi" he says. I smile.

He wraps his arms around my waist and starts kissing me.

After a while, we pull away.

"How did things go with Chuck and Tommy?" Asks Newt.

"Well, I guess the best it could when you're telling one of your best friends you're his sister" I say.

He laughs.

"At least you didn't lose your sarcasm" he says.

"Wanna go to the lookout?" I ask.

"You read my mind" he says.

*

A couple minutes later, we're sitting on the lookout, my head in Newts lap.

"Newt?" I say.

"Yes, love?"

"Being knocked out for a day makes you not really that tired.. Do you wanna just.. Stay out here all night?" I ask.

"That sounds perfect" he says.

I shake in his arms.

"It's fucking freezing" I say.

He chuckles, and takes his hoodie off and wraps it around me.

He didn't have anything under the hoodie.

He wraps his arms around me, and I rest my head on his shoulder.

"I love you, Newt" I say.

"I love you too Bella" he says.

*

We spend the rest of the night in the lookout, walking around the Glade.. And just.. Talking.. Oh, and making out. There was a lot of that too.
