Y/n's POV: (Two days later & five days till Y/n goes back home)
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It's been two days since I've arrived at Lawrence's place. I've been checking in with my parents daily over the walkie. They're doing well and safe. WCKD hasn't checked in since the last time but we're sure they're going to again. It's been really fun living here hanging out with Gally and Oli all day has me in a more positive mindset. We've been joking around, pulling pranks, even going on watch together. My hand has healed but I still need to wear a bandage so it won't get infected.
Gally and I have been getting closer but not the same way Oli and I are. It's different. But I don't like to think too much about it. Right now I'm laying on my bed. My head hanging off the edge. I'm reading one of Lawrence's books. Something about wizards and magic. I thought it was pretty cool. "Hey N/n, get over here we're having a bonfire on the roof! You coming?" Yelled Oli as he poked his head through my doorway. Gally's head poking in after Oli his head on top of Oli's.
"Ah!" I said as my book fell to the floor. "Hey! I lost the page I was on!" I say as I got up from the bed. Gally picked up the book and placed it on my nightstand. Oli stood near the doorway arms crossed and said, "Good! You read too much about magic it's getting to your head!" Gally spoke up after Oli, "Yeah, he's got a point. Yesterday you waved your dagger at me and said 'AvAdA kEdAvRa!' What does that even mean!?" I start laughing as Gally and Oli stare at me dumbfounded. "Oh, nothing."
"I've got my jacket. Got my boys. My work here is done." I say as I slide my jacket on walking out. Gally speaks up from behind me, "Uh... we are not her boys." Then I hear Oli say, "Yeah we are." With a defeated sigh Gally says, "Yeah we are." I let out a little laugh and say, "Now about that bonfire, let's go!" "Yeah! Atta girl!" Oli says as he gives me a piggyback ride and starts running I yell, "To the roof!" Pointing to the stairs. Gally just follows behind us playfully rolling his eyes.
We got to the roof where several other people old and young were gathered around. Over the past two days, I've met most of these people, small talk, or just a simple hello. As Gally, Oli, and I are walking around we say our hellos, "Hey Carol!" "Hey, kid I heard about that prank y'all pulled." Said a random lady I met as we walked by. "How's it going nick!" Yelled Oli from behind me. "Pretty good. Aye, words goin' around you guys are the trouble makers of this building." A random boy I've only shared a hello to yelled as we walked past.
We got to our usual spots near the bonfire. We sat down I was in between Gally and Oli, Oli to my right and Gally to my left. We were just joking around telling stories. A day after I got here I had told Oli my story so so had he. Oli told me about how his sister was being taken away by WCKD but WCKD ended up killing his mom and sister. And how his dad had died a crank a few months ago. He had nobody left but I'm glad he now has Gally and me to call family. Oli is such a positive person and I still don't know how he does it. "Let's play a good game of truth or dare," Oli said as he passed me a drink he had in his hand.
I took a big sip of the drink as I drank it I felt my throat burn I wanted to spit it out but I just dealt with it and swallowed it. Gally saw that I took a big sip and said, "Woah. Woah, slow down." Taking the cup out of my hands before taking a sip himself keeping a straight face. "How can you drink that so calmly. What is that?" "It's Gal's secret recipe." Says Oli as he snatched the cup out of Gally's hand. "Well, what's in it?" "Can't tell you otherwise it wouldn't be a secret." Said Gally as he shrugged. "Well whatever that was, it was gross," I said. "Don't worry you'll get used to it," said Oli as he laughed.
"Now seriously let's play truth or dare just the three of us," said Oli. I nodded in agreement and so did Gally. We played a few rounds of truth or dare now it was Oli's turn he chose dare just like he had done the past six rounds. I looked and at Gally then back at Oli and smirked, "I dare you to go over to Carol and confess your undying love for her in a made-up accent." Oli's smile faded "Ew. Carols like forty. But I'm up for a challenge!" He said as he put his cup down went to sit in front of Carol and started yapping away. At this point, Oli had gotten distracted and started talking to some guys about work and other things. So now it was just Gally and I laughing about the time a greenie almost hammered his hand to a wall.
Gally's POV:
I was telling Y/n about the time a greenie almost hammered his hand to the wall. My story seemed to make her laugh I love it when she's laughs. I was about to say something else when I felt her head on my shoulder. I turned a bit to look at her. She fell asleep that drink must've made her tired I put my arm around her shoulder and let her sleep on my shoulder for a while. Oliver had come back from speaking with the others and whispered, "Woah dude I've never seen you smile like that."
Was I smiling? I rolled my eyes, "Will you shut up. You're going to wake her." Oliver looked at me with a 'really' look on his face, "Well Gal It's your turn truth or dare?" "Truth I don't want to get up and wake her," I said pointing at Y/n. "Is it true that you have feelings for Y/n?" "I'm not answering that!" I said in an annoyed voice. "Oh come on! I know that you've only known her for three days but just admit it, you love her!" Oli said with a straight face wow he was serious.
I got tired of him going on and on about it and I finally burst, "okay maybe I do have feelings for her maybe even love her but she doesn't see me that way!" I said in a whisper yell. Oliver smirked happily he got to hear what he wanted. "Well, you won't know until you ask and confess you have nothing to lose I'm sure she won't stop being your friend even if she doesn't feel the same way." "I guess you could be right I'll tell her tomorrow now help me get her to bed," I said as I put her arm over my shoulder and Oliver helped me lift her legs.
We got to her room set her on her bed and tucked her in. Before we could leave Y/n pulled on our sleeve, "Thank you both for everything I love you guys, goodnight boys." she said before falling asleep again. Oliver kissed her forehead and whispered, "Night Y/n, love you too." before patting my shoulder and walking out. For some reason when Oliver kissed her forehead it didn't make me jealous but when other guys talked to her it did. maybe it was the fact that Oliver and
Y/n acted like siblings.
I walked over to her and brushed her hair out of her face. She had a small smile on her face and looked so peaceful. I looked down at her arm where her brother's bracelet laid. "I'll help you find him. We will find him." I whispered before kissing her forehead and turning around getting ready to close the door I heard her faint voice, "Thank you, Gally." I nod, "Good night, Y/n." "Good night, Gal."

A/n: Yes I used a TikTok sound reference, I might be doing that once in a while. I know short chapters next chapter might be longer. Also, I am purposely not mentioning Y/n's brother's name because I want you the reader! To find out who her brother is at the same time her brother finds out. One more chapter till we get to meet Newt and the Gladers I'm excited. Don't forget to vote! Thank you for your support.
