DISCLAIMER- all of these ideas are the wonderful JAMES DASHNERs. I am not capable of coming up with such a great book idea. I only own willow:) hope you enjoy

Gally's prospective
"Are you getting tired?" I asked her. Her eyes getting droopy.

"Yeah, a little bit. " She yawned "But I'm okay. "

"Ok. You want to stay out here and talk a little more?" I asked and she nodded her head in response.

"So who do you think you could trust here in the glade so far?" I asked her, hoping for an honest answer. She started to lean closer to me. I had thought she was just messing with me.

"Willow?" I asked. Was she ignoring me? Maybe she is just playing with me. I looked down at her to see her eyes closed and taking deep breaths of slumber. She was leaning into my chest gently. My gosh, why am I doing this? I can't like Willow. I just can't. I've gotta stop.

I stood up gently trying not to wake her up. I grabbed under her knees and shoulders carrying her bridal style. I started to crunch through the leaves debating to take her to her sleeping quarters or to my bed. She was complaining about how cold it was. Of course, I would take the floor for willow. Stop! You can't be doing this Gally. I thought to myself. My thoughts were right. I can't be falling for Willow, I have never gotten attached to someone and it needs to stay that way. I was out of the woods and heading towards her sleeping bag near Chuck and Thomas. Newt came walking out of the homestead with sleepy eyes and his hair ruffled in all directions.

"What the bloody.." He trailed off when he saw me carrying what looked like an unconscious Willow.

"Shh! She's asleep!" I whispered at Newts' shocked face.

"It's nearly midnight Gally! What were you doing with Willow in the woods?" He asked with a concerned face. I'm glad I'm not the only one in the glade that is looking out for her.

"Oh calm down Newt we were just talking and she fell asleep. I'm taking her to her bed now." I said in a casual tone.

"Alright, buddy." He said in a sleepy tone and then walked off towards the kitchen.

I walked to the back of the homestead where Willow slept and laid her down gently so she wouldn't wake up. I covered her with a blanket so hopefully, she wouldn't freeze.

I headed up to my room in the homestead and changed from my dirty clothes from the day. I plopped in bed and staring at the ceiling letting my thoughts wander. I started to think of how peaceful Willow looked when she was sleeping. She makes me feel like I could actually get to know her. She makes me crazy. My thoughts running wild on what had happened that day. Replaying the same images of Willow through my head. I can't let myself fall for Willow.
