I woke up to find Gally already gone. I sat up, stretched and yawned before walking out into the Glade. My neck was feeling much better. Teresa saw me and began walking next to me. "Good afternoon Allison. How are you feeling today?" I smiled at her.

"Much better." I looked to find Gally sitting with his building crew, watching me as I passed by. I couldn't help but blush and turn away.

"Someone has a crush," Teresa giggled while nudging me. I followed her to the kitchen to get some food, and Frypan was more than happy to see me. I sat with Teresa, Thomas, and Minho. Newt joined us shortly after.

"Feeling better, Allison?" Newt asked me. I nodded and thanked everyone for showing their concern this whole time. I was thankful that these people, who barely knew me, cared so much for my health. When in reality they could've just left me for dead. Gally would've probably just kicked their asses though. Halfway through our meal, Gally came in. He walked over to the table and kissed my forehead before grabbing some food of his own, then walking out again. I narrowed my brows as I watched him as he walked away. Teresa placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry, he always does that when he's attached to a project."

"I thought he finished the bench yesterday?"

"He did. He's working on something new." Something new? He never mentioned anything to me. I know I had been out of commision for a few days, but some communication would be nice. Seeing him would be just as satisfactory.

"I'm going to talk to him," I said while standing. Minho took my plate as soon as I left. "Gally!" I yelled at him. He turned around and stopped.

"Is everything alright?" He asked. I nodded as I approached him.

"I wanted to see you. Why don't you come sit and eat with us?"

"I just- I need to finish what I'm working on. I can't have any distractions." Being the stubborn person I was, I poked the beast.

"I want to spend time with you though. I've been held up for days, and who knows how long ago it was that we actually got to spend a day alone together." He was silent. "Please?"

"I- I can't Allison. Just go back and finish your lunch. I'll see you at the fire later." He turned to walk away, but I followed him.

"Gally-" He spun around and looked me dead in the eyes.

"Go away you little shank!" People in the kitchen and the builder's guild were looking in our direction. I had heard shank a few times, and I knew by now it was an insult. A week in the Glade and you can find out a lot. Tears formed in my eyes. "Allison, I didn't-" I started crying and ran off. Teresa tried to stop me to comfort me, but I pushed passed her and everyone else. I went to the watchtower, climbed it, sat up there and cried. All I wanted was to spend some time with him, but he was too damn focused on his work to care. A few minutes later Gally was at the bottom of the tower shouting for me to come down. "Come on, Allison! You can't stay up there all night!"

"Yes, I can! Watch me!" It got silent, then he once again spoke.

"Please come down baby...I'm sorry..." I rolled my eyes. It was going to take more than that to make it up to me. When I didn't speak, he did. "I'm coming up there!" I didn't reply, so he began climbing the ladder. When he reached the top he looked at me. My eyes were bloodshot and red, and I was a sniffling mess. He crawled over and sat beside me. He sighed and looked down, then grabbed my hand. I didn't pull away, I just let him hold it. He brought it to his lips and kissed it, then interlocked his fingers with it. "I'm not good at this kind of thing," He said.

"What kind of thing?" I questioned him.

"This. Relationships. Displaying feelings. Last time I did that, look what happened. I lost you. I've been here for 3 years, you know." My eyes widened. I didn't know that.

"3?" I asked, trying not to tear up again.

"Yes, Allison." He used the thumb of his free hand to rub the tears slowly coming. "3. From what my flashbacks show, we were happy. We were so in love, and that was taken away because of my stupidity. I don't want something like that to happen again baby. I want you forever and always. I don't want you to leave me again." I was speechless. He placed his hands on each side of my face before looking me in the eyes and kissing me. The passion in his kiss was something I'd been craving. When he pulled back he once again looked me in the eyes. "God, you're so beautiful. I can't believe I could have ever betrayed you." He put his forehead to mine and closed his eyes. I placed my hand on his wrist and smiled. This was the Gally I knew. This was the Gally I'd wanted back. This was the Gally I loved more than anything. "I love you, Allison." I looked at him and smiled before pressing my lips back to his.

"I love you too, Gally." He smiled and pecked my lips.

"Come on, let me show you what I've been up to." I followed him down the watchtower and over to the builder's guild. He had been working on a hut.

"What's this for?" I asked him, his hand in mine.

"Us. I asked Alby if I could begin building huts for everyone, and he agreed. He gave me the go to build ours first."

"Really?" I asked excitedly. He smiled and nodded at me. I hugged him then kissed his cheek. "When will it be done?"

"Should be by tonight. I was going to surprise you, but after everything that just went down I feel like telling you now is the best option." I giggled and hugged his torso.

"Gally, Alby needs you for a minute," Newt said.

"Oh, okay." Gally kissed my lips before walking away.

"I see that you two worked things out." I smiled and nodded. "That's good. I'm glad to hear it. Say, have you ever seen Gally drink?" I shook my head. "Just be careful. He's known to get pretty upset when he drinks." Without another word, Newt walked off. Gally came back over and wrapped his arms around me.

"You and I are going to have some alone time tonight princess." When I didn't reply he looked concerned. "Allison? You alright?"

"Huh?" I said, snapping back to reality. "Oh, yeah. I'm alright." He kissed my forehead and smiled. "Hey, Gally? Are you drinking tonight?"

"Yeah...why?"

"Oh...nothing." He pulled away and looked at me, arms crossed.

"Alright, what did Newt tell you."

"Nothing. Nevermind."

"No, tell me."

"I promise it's nothing, Gally." He raised a brow at me. "Come on," I said while picking up his hammer. "Let's finish this hut." He smirked and grabbed the hammer from me. I took a deep breath and watched as he went to work.
