brief filler chapter

Thomas was someone that I hadn't seen since he arrived a week ago, it made me wonder if he was still alive.

I sighed, leaning into Gally as I waited for the runners to return. I had spent my entire day with Gally and I wanted newt to come back.

I hadn't been running for a while because of what happened with the note and George.

speaking of George, he was in the slammer. the council was having a meeting tomorrow about what they should do with the shank.

"they'll be back soon." Gally assured, pressing a friendly kiss to my forehead.

Gally knew how bad my separation anxiety had been since the incident with George.

newt tried to get back as soon as possible but he had a lot of ground to cover and it was his job, I don't want him to worry about me.

I nodded to Gally and bounced my leg in worry. "it's almost five Gally he always gets back at four forty-five. what if something happened to him? Gally I can't-" Gally cut me off "uh- belle" he pointed to something behind me and I turned to see newt walking into the glade.

without a second thought I jumped away from Gally and sprinted over to newt.

when I reached my blonde boy I tackled him in a hug. "I missed you too baby" he laughed into my hair, kissing my cheek and moving his hands to my bum to hold me up. "I was worried" I mumble into his neck.

"don't worry about me."

I moved my face from his neck to move my hands to his cheeks and pull him toward me into a sweet kiss.

he pulled away from me then pressed a kiss to my nose. I let my legs fall from his sides and he kissed the top of my head. "I'll be in the map room" he declared, walking in the direction of the map room.

I nodded and turned back to Gally, he was smiling at me. "told ya he'd be back." he grinned, swinging his arm around my shoulder. I nodded with a smile.

Gally and Minho might not get along all that well because let's face it, Gally isn't always the nicest guy in the glade but for my sake they tolerate each other.

Both of the boys know what I have been going through with Newt and how much i depend on him and to them, I'm like a little sister and so they try as hard as possible to keep me happy. But Minho is gone just as long as Newt is so he can't help all that much. Gally on the other hand is a keeper so he works just as long as everyone else but i stay with him nonetheless.

My break from running wasn't going to last forever. I couldn't hide from my job forever and much to Newts disapproval i would probably be going back within the next two days. i wasn't all that excited about this but i had to do my part.

i sighed and sat against a log. Why is life so hard. I have only been in the glade for a span of maybe three months, i dont know how these boys survived but i applaud them because i sure as hell wouldn't be able to.
