"Alby may think he's the leader but he's not. It's all Y/N." You tiptoe closer as you hear your name. You were walking towards the kitchen in the Homestead when you heard Gally and Newt talking. You stop just before the door to Gally's bedroom.

"It's not nice to talk about Alby like that." Newt says, rebuking Gally. "Come on Newt. You know good and well that Alby will do anything Y/N says. 'Alby,'" Gally says, mocking your voice, "'I don't think we should build this building.'"

I don't talk like that. You think.

"'Alby. This isn't right. We need to wait and see if the walls close.' Newt. Her judgement on our first night here almost got me killed!" Gally yells. "Gally-" Newt interrupts but Gally just keeps going. "She doesn't know what she's doing half the time Newt! She's a girl and has no reason to be poking around with us. And Alby just listens to her!" You gasp. You didn't think-

"Y/N..." Newt says softly. You shrink back from the doorway, quickly wiping a stray tear that had trailed down your cheek. "What?" Gally asks. "Y/N is behind the wall. I heard her walking towards us." Newt states simply, but you can hear the remorse in his voice. He knows they've been caught.

"Y/N?" Gally calls out. You sheepishly step out from behind the wall, wiping yet another tear that has come free. You look down at the table once you step into view of the two boys and spot an almost empty bottle of Gally's drink(with secret ingredient) with two other empty bottles beside it. Gally's been drinking. You think.

"Y/N. I'm sorry..." Gally starts. You shakes your head. "No. You're not. You're drunk. Not sorry." You say. Your voice is monotonous, without emotion. You're just trying not to cry. Gally stands up from his seat on his bed and starts to walk towards you. You stumble back, not wanting to be near the boy who trash talks you behind your back.

"Y/N. Please. Listen to me. I didn't mean-" You snap. "Oh but you did Gally. But you did!" You yell, pushing his shoulders. He stumbles back from the force of the push. His eyes darken considerably. "You don't know what I meant!" He yells. He grabs your arm and pushes you against the wall. You let out a squeak in shock.

"You. Don't. Know. What. I. Meant." He says, enunciating every word. You try to break away from his grasp, but instead he just tightens it. Your breathing is erratic as you try to look over Gally's shoulder for Newt, or even Alby. "Look at me Y/N!" He shouts. You smell the rancid smell of liquor on his breath.

"Gally. Calm down." You say, trying to stay calm. "Calm down?!" He shouts. You flinch away from him. "Gally. Please. You're hurting me." You plead. His eyes shift to his hand that's tightened around your wrist. "Y/N. I-" He lets go of your wrist and steps away from you. You run out of the room, looking desperately for Alby.

You didn't mean for Gally to get hurt.

If Newt hadn't have been there Gally would've died!

The battle ensuring inside your head makes you somewhat delirious. You slam into a solid object and fall onto the ground.

You don't know what you're doing! You're a girl. You just need to leave.

No. Alby loves you. He needs you. You love him.

"Y/N." You look up to see none other than Eva herself standing above you. You scream in fear and scoot away from her. "No no darling. It'll all be over soon..."

Alby's POV

She thrashes around on the floor of the homestead, fighting an unseen force. I look down on her, fighting my own tears. My fault. Her condition is completely my fault.

"Gally!" She shouts as a Griever stabs Gally. She runs towards my fallen friend, zig-zagging away from the Griever.

I stand frozen to the spot. "Newt! Newt! Please!" She shouts. "Alby!" She yells. I stare at my bleeding friend as a Griever sneaks up on Y/N. I don't do anything. It's needle comes out of its body, plunging into Y/N's back, and pulls out with a sickening squelch. She falls to the ground and starts to convulse. "Y/N!" I leap forward and pull her close to my body. She whimpers and thrashes around.

The flapping of feet against stone is heard and Newt appears next to Gally. He immediately wraps his shirt around Gally's wound and turns to us. "She's been stabbed." Newt states. I nod my head, though I'm obviously in denial. "No. No. She can't..." A hand is laid on my shoulder. "She's fighting it. She's strong."

If I had only been quicker. If I had only not stood there. If only...

"Alby. Stop beating yourself up over this." Gally says, putting a hand on my shoulder. "But I can't Gally. I love her and I failed her."

"No Alby. You didn't. Like me. She's fighting it. She'll get through it. We just... We need to wait." Gally suggests. I nod, wiping my face free of tears. "I just... Maybe if I can get through to her, she can beat this. Right?" I ask, hopeful. Gally just shrugs. "I don't know Alby. I don't know."

He pats my shoulder once more before leaving the room. I walk over to Y/N's body and kneel down next to her. "Y/N. I know you're in there. Please. Fight this. Kick its ass. I need you Y/N. I love you." I place a soft kiss to her forehead before sitting on the couch to watch over her and make sure she doesn't hurt herself.

If only I had been quicker. If only I hadn't have just stood there. If only...

Hi. So, I know this doesn't make a lot of sense but you've been stung by a Griever and this first bit is you going through the changing. And then the second but in Alby's POV is the night you got stung. I know this so all jumbled up. Don't judge me, but I updated. When people start reading again I'll update more I guess. But I want requests. So, bring it on!! I'm on break. Might as well write.

I love you guys. Sorry for the long 6-month break.
