(Alex's POV)

A half hour later, fed and packed, each handed a weapon as we stood in front of the West Doors.

"Shouldn't someone give a pep talk or something?"  Minho asked.

"Go ahead," Newt replied.

 "Be careful," he said dryly. "Don't die."

 "Great. We're all bloody inspired," Newt answered.

Thomas looked at me "You okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine," I answered with a small smile, clearly not fine at all.

''What's bothering you, Alex? He asks softly, and I look at him.

''Nothing. It's just...what about Gally?''

''Look, Gally is beyond reason. You said it yourself. But it's your choice. Stay here or escape.''

''But-''

''How come you're taking his side?'' Gally's voice spoke and I paused and looked over Thomas's shoulder at Gally standing there.

''Gally...'' Thomas and the other Gladers walked away from them towards the maze and pointed their weapons at Gally, threatening him if he came closer.

''After all we've been through'' he said trough gritted teeth.  

Thomas turned around. ''Gally, it's over''

''Come with us'' I said. 

Gally looked down to the floor, not saying anything.

''Please'' He finally looked away from the floor and spoke.

''Good luck against the Grievers''

'' Fine! Stay here forever to rot with the Grievers. Goodbye Gally'' I said and making my towards the maze.
