"Your dad isn't feeling too well he's saying it's just a cold-" she said looking at me with saddened eyes I cut her off "-but you don't think it's a cold, do you? When did he start feeling sick? Can I see him?" I said feeling worried. No, it can't be the flare. I can't lose him to it. "He's only just begun to feel sick yesterday, I've given him medication. But it seems to be getting worse and I don't know what to do anymore," she looked on the verge of tears. I pulled her into a hug as she cried letting out sobs. My poor mother was afraid to lose her lover and I was afraid to lose my father.

I held her until she stopped crying and led me to my dads' room. "Hey, dad. How are you feeling?" I said as I sat on a chair beside him and held his hand. "N/n, I'm so happy to see you," he said as he hugged me, "I'm feeling better." I could tell he was lying. "Dad please don't lie to me I can tell you're not doing well I can drive back and get you some serum I'm sure I can find someone who's selling them," I said with a serious tone.

Mom walked out of the room to get something. "Y/n I need you to promise me something big!" He said in a serious fast tone. "Dad, what is it, anything." He coughed a bit then said, "Y/n I'm sick, it's the flare. I don't know how long I will last with the serum but I need you to promise me to look after yourself and your mom. I need to be killed once I get out of control I don't want to lose myself to the flare and hurt you two. One last thing, no matter what anyone tells you don't give up on your brother, I never did. I started some research a while ago. He's alive he made it through the maze, Y/n. He's still out there!" I was in shock processing every word he had said.

He wants me to kill him if it comes to it. And my brother he's alive I knew he was and this helped me have hope. "I promise dad I promise to look after mom and I promise I'll find my brother, but I can't promise to kill you. I can't there has to be another way or cure if I can find a cure- I can turn myself into WCKD, in exchange for the cure." I rambled on as tears rolled down my cheeks. "Hey. Hey, you are not turning yourself into WCKD, you never will no matter what happens. If things start getting worse here I need you to travel far away from here, get to your Uncle Jorges place that map over there has the coordinates and everything on it for you to get there do you understand?!" He said as he wiped my tears. I let out a shaky breath, "Yes dad I understand." He nodded and kissed my forehead. After a few minutes, mom walked in with an Iv pole and set it up near his bed and attached it to his arm then kissed him.

(A few weeks later)

Dad was still sick getting worse by the day, the serum only helped a bit. Lawrence had sent someone to bring the serum. I noticed my mom slowly become sad and not as happy as she used to be. Today Gally and Oli came by to visit. Once their car came into view and they had parked I ran into their arms. It had only been a few weeks and I missed them so much. "Ow, buttercup I need to breathe!" Oli said as he pulled out of the hug. I hugged Gally and we shared a kiss. "You love birds might want to stop eating each other's faces off, your mums coming this way," he whispered and pointed in the direction of the bunker. Gally and I quickly pulled apart and walked to greet my mom.

"Oh, it's so lovely to meet you two!" My mom said as she shook Oli's hand. "Oliver. Or Oli it's what your daughter calls me. So what are you cooking for dinner?" he said as he smiled at her. I poked his side "Oli!" "What I'm hungry!" "You're always hungry!" I said as I smacked the back of his neck. My mom laughed and moved to shack Gally's hand. "Gally. It's nice to finally meet you" Gally said shaking her hand. Oli spoke out "Or Gal! Don't forget Gal." I let out a little chuckle as Gally gave Oli a really look. "You must be Y/n's boyfriend." She said letting out a small laugh at Oli's comment. We didn't do much we just hung out in the garden and looked after my dad.

(A few months later)

Over the few months, Gally and Oli have come by now and then to visit and bring supplies. Gally and I have been dating for a couple of months. Things are starting to feel different between us and I know he knows it too. It doesn't feel like we're in love anymore or at least not for me. It might sound cliché but we might be falling out of love. The last time we hung out it felt like more of a friendship than a relationship. I'm going to talk to him about it before our relationship gets too far. They're coming next week I'm a bit nervous about it I hope he feels the same way.

Gally's POV:

It's been months since N/n and I started dating it has been a healthy relationship. Everything was going so well but I feel that we aren't meant to be. When we saw each other last time it didn't feel like we were dating, it felt off. I still love her, a lot but I think a relationship isn't for us and I have to tell her that. We promised to never lie to each other. So I am going to visit her today.

(Outside her home)

Y/n's POV:

I heard a familiar knock coming from the front door of the bunker. As I got to the front door I knew who it was, Gally. Had he been thinking the same thing. How would I start? I opened the door welcomed him with a hug and walked to the garden. "Gal why are you here you were supposed to come next week, not that I mind just wondering," I said to him as I fidgeted with my dagger. "I've been wanting to talk to you about our relationship, have you been feeling off? Like we're falling out of love?"

I sighed and said, "yes I thought it was just me. I don't think we're meant to be recently when we hang out it feels like we're just normal friends nothing more." Gally nodded and said "yeah I feel the same way. You will always have a special place in my heart. You were my soulmate but I wasn't yours, and I understand. We will always be best friends and I want you to be happy."  I gave him a hug, "I'm glad we're on the same page, Gal. Friends?" He laughed and said, "For life."

A/n: Hello reader, I hope you are having a wonderful day! Wow I published two chapters in one day, that's an improvement. I don't have a schedule for this. I usually do it to escape my reality and create my own. ALSO, the reason I had Gally and Y/n date for months was so that we could get a little development of Y/n growing from it and have her learned from Gally what love really is. The next chapter will be when she meets Newt and the Gladers. It might be a long chapter I still haven't decided but prepare yourselves!

            Love,
