Chapter 56: Olivia is a Newtmas Shipper (Stan Her😼)

Start from the beginning
                                    

I look between Newt and Thomas, and see some heavy eye contact going on between them.

Then something clicks inside of me.

I know Newt is gay. He's told me. And, Newt has been the one, other than Chuck, to help Thomas with everything. The second in command and Greenie have spent a lot of time on together. Now, I don't think that's a coincidence.

I also happen to know that Newt can have a dirty mind sometimes, so right now I completely dread whatever is going on in that boy's mind.

But then a plan forms in my mind: Operation Cupid. Objective? Get Newt and Thomas together, stat.

Suddenly remembering I was in a Gathering, I tune back in.

"Wow" Gally remarks, clearly a lot more angry. What the hell had happened?

"Gally-"

"Nah, Fry" Gally pushes him away, however both Frypan and I follow him outside anyway.

"Gal-" I start, but this makes him whirl round and glare at me.

"Why would you go back in?" Despite his hard exterior, I could tell there was a layer of hurt underneath it all. He was hurt I would put myself in danger again. He was hurt that I didn't tell him. And most of all, he was hurt that everything was going to shit.

"I just want to get out of here, Gal" I finally say, daring to look at him.

"No. No! We're safe here. You understand me?! WE'RE SAFE HERE! You're not leaving. Ever. I'm not letting you. You're staying here. Go back to our hut, Olivia"

"WHAT?! NO!" I exclaim. "I'm not just some puppy that you can order round! I'm leaving this shit hole as soon as I can, and you can't stop me. Whether it's with or without you, I'm going" This makes him push me into a nearby tree and press his arm against my chest so I can't get away. His other arm rests by my head. His face is mere centimetres from mine, and if he wasn't angry before, he sure as hell was now.

"Let me get one thing clear. Ok?" His tone was hushed now, wavering as he tried not to yell again. "You're my girlfriend. You know what that means? It means I have to protect you. And right now, protecting you means not letting you leave. There's a reason that we're in here with no memories. Maybe, just maybe, it's because the world has gone to complete shit, and this is the only way for humanity to survive. Now go back to our hut and don't you dare leave"

"No-"

"Stop arguing! I'm just doing what's best for you and our child!"

"You mean what's best for you. All you want is to keep me here, a prisoner, forever. I won't let you. Just because you're my boyfriend, it doesn't mean that you get to control my life! If you wanna stay here, then fine, be my guest, but you can't make this decision for me. You got that?" I was treading on thin ice now. The fact Gally hadn't yet exploded was scaring me, and I was dreading the moment when he would release all the anger he was trying so hard not to let surface.

"You're staying here. End of story!" With that, he storms off before he can say something he could live to regret.

I made my way over to the Deadheads, desperate for some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, that didn't last for long.

"Liv! Liv!" Chuck's head of curly brown hair comes bobbing into view. His arms are waving madly and he has an excited look on his face.

"What's wrong?" I get up from my previous sitting position and go towards the out of breath boy.

"The girl is awake! But... she's, uh... You know what, come see for yourself. But be careful!" Chuck grabs my hand and leads me to the watchtower. What was the link between the girl and here?
