my maze runner (Gally x Reader, Newtmas)

Antonia's pov/ Y/N pov

Ugh, I have been running around the glade for ages trying to find Thomas. Where the shuck did he go? I ran around homestead when Minho came up to me. "Hey Antonia, what are you doing out this early?" He asked.  "Long story. Aren't you supposed to be running at this point?" I replied. "Yeah, I was just running a bit late today. Ben's probably waiting for me." He said. I nodded. "Well have a good day running," I told him. "Are you sure you don't need some help, you look stressed?" He said. "Yeah go on, you don't want to be late," I said and smiled at him. He nodded and ran towards the entrance of the maze and stopped to look back at me, worriedly. I gave him a two-finger salute and he ran off into the maze.

Alby came up to me next. "I need you to do something."He said. "What do you need?" I asked. He handed me a knife and I took it but looked at him weirdly. "Follow me." He told me. I did what I was told and we walked up to a piece of maze wall that had names written on it. I saw Thomas on it and knew he had already come. "Your one of us now. Go ahead and show it." He said and gestured towards the stone. I smiled at him before carving Antonia into the wall. Once I was done, I handed Alby back the knife. "I have to go find Thomas now, I'll see you later," I told him before walking away.

"Hey, Antonia." Someone said as they came up to me. I looked to the side to see Newt standing there. "Heya," I replied. "What's wrong Antonia?" Another boy said. I looked to my other side and saw Chuck trying to keep up with my fast pace of walking. I slowed down a bit so he could keep up a bit better. "Nothing." I almost growled. Chuck stopped for a second, shocked at my tone, before walking with us again.

"Sorry, I just can't find Thomas anywhere. We got in a fight this morning. ." I said in a lighter tone. "About what?" Newt's accented voice asked. "Well..." Before I could finish the breakfast bell rang. "You can tell me later, Thomas will be at breakfast. Hopefully..." Newt said, he whispered the last part like he knew something. I frowned before nodding and smiling at him before going back to my frown.

As we got closer to the dining area my breathing started to pick up. Oh god, not this again, please. As soon as I saw Thomas getting his food my breath calmed down a little. "Come on, I'll go with you. Chuck, go ahead and get food." Newt said. Chuck nodded and left. I pushed my way through all the guys until I got to Thomas. I grabbed his arm to turn him around to face me, and said, "Thomas please let me explain." He glared at me, shoved my hand off, and walked away. He was almost at a table before I got to him with Newt following close behind me.

I jumped in front of him. "Please! Just let me explain!" I exclaimed. "Explain what Antonia?! That you're in love with Gally?!" He yelled in my face. Most of the gladers have gathered around in a circle around us by now. "Woah, what?!" Someone yelled. "Not only that! She nearly kissed him!" He yelled out. Newt had a shocked look on his face. "I can't believe you like Gally," Frypan said. "He's the worst guy in the glade!" Thomas yelled again. "He is not! He is more understanding towards me than you are!" I yelled back. Apparently, Thomas had had enough of me, because he shoved me hard and I fell to the ground- caught off guard. It knocked all the breath out of me, and I was coughing and wheezing on the floor trying to regain it.

I got on my knees to try to help me get my breath back easier, but it wasn't helping. Although, my coughing had gone down a bit. "Toni?!" I heard someone shout. Gally pushed easily through the boys and was soon at my side. "Are you ok?" He asked me, worried. I nodded, but my breathing was still heavy and I had a hand over my chest. "Antonia, I'm so sorry." I heard Thomas say. I was trying to speak, but still couldn't. "I'm sorry." He said and walked quickly out of there. "Here," Gally said and helped me to stand up. The heavy breathing had stopped, but my chest still hurt. Newt looked at me with an unreadable expression. It looked sad, confused but also look like he kind of knew what was happening. He walked, well limped, away after Thomas.

I looked back at Gally with tears in my eyes. "Shh, it's okay. Come here." He said and pulled me in for a hug.  I slowly put my arms around him and lightly cried into his chest. "I'm sorry." I told him as I pulled away. All the other boys had already sat down and had started eating. "For what?" He asked confused. "Everything," I said. "You have nothing to be sorry about." He replied and gently grabbed my face with both of his hands before wiping my tears with his thumbs. P put one of my hands on his and leaned into his. "I have to go talk to Thomas," I said. "I can go with you?" He offered. "No, I already feel bad about this morning. I don't want it to happen again." I replied, referring to his black eye. "You sure?" He questioned. I nodded my head and he dropped his hands to his side. "I'll see you later," I told him and stood on my tiptoes to give him a kiss on the cheek before walking off to find Thomas.

I looked around all the tables but couldn't see him anywhere. However, I did find Newt getting his food. "Newt!" I called and jogged up to him. Newt looked at me before looking away just as quickly. "Newt, I know you know where Thomas is. Tell me." I demanded. Newt turned to me."He feels really bad Antonia, but he doesn't want to talk right now, he wants to be by himself." He said looking a bit sad. I was so confused. I quickly grabbed a plate of food and went outside to the tables where I found Gally sitting next to the other builders. "Hey," I said as I sat next to him. "Hey, you get things sorted with Thomas?" He asked. "No, I couldn't find him, and Newt wouldn't tell me where he was," I replied. Gally nodded and apologized. "It's fine. I'll just talk to him later." I replied and gave him a small smile. He nodded and we ate the rest of our food in silence.

The other builders tried to talk to me, but I would just nod my head. I was almost finished eating when a boy even had the nerve to come and sling his arm around my shoulder. Gally glared at him whilst I shrugged his arm off. "Ah, come on, don't be like that." He said. I turned to face him, smiled right in his face then punched him, hard where the sun doesn't shine. He howled in pain and went off, swearing. "That's enough," Alby said as he came up to us. Alby sat down across from me. "What do you need? Is it Thomas?" I asked hurriedly. "No, calm down." He chuckled. "I was just going to tell you that you'll be working with Frypan in the kitchen." He finished. I nodded. "Will Thomas be working with us?" I asked hopefully. He shook his head, no. "He's working with Newt today." I nodded my head sadly. "You'll start after breakfast." He added before leaving. I looked at Gally who looked back at me. "I'll see you later then I guess," I said. "Yeah, we need to keep going with your hut, come on shanks." He said the last part to the builders and I nodded before going into the kitchen.
