"Listen I'm sorry, I know you don't like him but—"

"But what? Even after I told you that I saw him during the changing, And even though I don't trust him, And even though he broke more rules than I can count you made him a Runner? And what is that kind of punishment? Two nights in the pit?! Really?"

(Y/n) was walking after Gally who was trying to lose the female and let his own anger consume him, Thomas had spent one night in the pit already and was out for the day to spend it training with Minho to become a Runner

"Listen, Gally, He's got something we don't. He found more clues than I can count!" The female defends as she turns around to stand in front of Gally making him come to a harsh stop "He might be our ticket out of this hellhole"

"Ticket out? Or a ticket to our doom? (Y/n) I trust you, I've always trusted you and I still do. Do you really think that shank can get us out of here? Because I shucking don't" Gally said, His voice was stern and not angry as he looked down at her before crossing his arms 

Maybe at times, They've fought, Maybe every once in a while it got physical, Maybe, But this time (Y/n) could clearly see how she hurt the Builder, How she betrayed his trust. (Y/n) could see panic and fear in Gally's eyes as he stared down at her

"I..." Opening her mouth to say something (Y/n) stopped herself, He was right, And she was too trusting "I really do think he'll get us out here" She whispered, Almost afraid to voice her opinion in front of him

"Can you swear on your life that he'll get us out of here?" Gally asked, His arms crossed over his chest as he looked down at (Y/n) who to him looked like a scared little mouse "Will you swear of 𝘮𝘺 life that he'll find a way out"

"I am willing to swear my life he'll get us out of here," She said determinedly as she looked deeply into his eyes 

"And on mine?" Gally pushed, Gaze not flattering as he stared down at the First in Command 

"I don't have the luxury to bet on anybody's life except my own" (Y/n) answered, She was avoiding the answer and sadly both of them knew that 

"We both know I trust you with my life, We both know I trust you with my heart, my brain, And my sanity" Gally pushed as he took a step forward while she took a step back "So why are you beating around the bush, Bet on my life that the Greenie will get us out of here," He said as if daring her while she stared up at him in shock 

"I can't bet on your life" (Y/n) shook her head, Her hands were glued to her sides and were made into fists "I'm not going to bet on your life," She said and looked up at him while Gally's eyes glanced in a different direction, In the direction of the tower that stood beside them
