     For a few more days both Newt and I had to stay in bed and rest. While being there just the two of us I found out who did this to him. "I knew it. Jessica is such a snake. I am going to have a nice little chat with her once I get out of here" I said angry and ready to go find that girl. "Calm down. I already talked to Alby about this. She is in the pen. She will be banished." he said and for a moment I froze. "Banished?" I asked. "Yeah, she will be given to the maze" he answered and I started feeling bad. She deserved punishment but not the maze. I got out of the med bay quicker then Newt so I had some time to spare. One evening as I was walking to my tent I saw Minho walking towards Jessica who was still in the pen. I walked closer and hid so that  I could hear what they were talking about. "Jess I will not let them banish you. If you are going, I am going with you" said Minho with a sad tone. "Minho you already did too much for me. I deserve to die anyways. Two people almost died because of me" answered the girl. "Just listen to me, you are worthy of life. I will not let them hurt you. End of story" he said while getting up and walking away.

     Seeing Minho so broken up about it I knew I had to stop it. I knew that Jessica was very important to him, and he was my friend so he was important to me. When the day came and Jessica was about to be banished I stopped it. I told the others that killing her was not a solution. Everybody thought I was crazy but they stopped. That is when Minho ran towards her holding her tight in his arms. 

     The next day was the day. We finally got to meet Teresa. The box got up, the doors opened and there she was, laying there unconscious. The she opened her eyes and looked at Thomas "W.I.C.K.E.D. is good" she said and fainted. For days she would not wake up. When she finally did, Thomas was the only person she would talk to. Seeing them together once again made me feel good. Newt and I both tried spending some time with the two. Meanwhile I was working as a Runner with Thomas and Minho. After a few more weeks we finally found the codes for our escape: FLOAT, CATCH, BLEED, DEATH, STIFF, PUSH. None of us knew what these words meant or how we were supposed to use them to escape the maze. That night the gates did not close and Grievers came and took many of us, Gally too. We knew we had to go. There was no other way, we were not safe anymore. These past weeks as Thomas and I got closer, I got to talk to Chuck, the youngest Glader. He was such a sweet little boy. My brother and I treated him as our little brother. We promised him we would get him out of here safe. The night before we left I tried reaching out to Teresa. 'Teresa, can you hear me?' 'Yeah. (Y/N) we really have to take care of each other tomorrow. I have this feeling that when we get out we will need as many people as possible' Her words scared be a little because I had the same weird feeling. 'I agree. We will have to work together and get out of here.' This time she did not respond. We were both scared and anxious wanting this whole thing to be over.

     The next morning we were all ready to go when Minho decided to speak up "Shouldn't someone give a pep talk or something" he asked. "Go ahead" Newt answered. "Be careful" he said dryly "Don't die" he finished. We were all almost laughing. "Great, we are all bloody inspired" said Newt. Leaving the Glade felt weird. About 40 of us left but by the time we arrived to the Griever hole half of the team was dead, including Alby. Thomas, Teresa and Chuck jumped in first to write in the code. Then we all jumped into the hole and then took a slide to get into a big hall. People in white robes were standing there staring at us. Then I spotted a women and a familiar guy standing besides her. It was Gally. Who was taken away a few days ago when the Grievers attacked. How did he survive? Thomas was standing close to Teresa and Chuck keeping his eyes on Gally. The boy in white grabbed a knife and threw it towards Tommy. We were all in shock and incapable of doing anything. Then a terrible thing happened. Chuck jumped in front of Thomas. The knife hit him and he collapsed. "Chuck? This can't be happening!" I screamed falling to my knees. Newt tried running towards me but guards grabbed him. Then they grabbed me and dragged me outside. Outside a bus was waiting for us. We were all in shock, not being able to talk or do anything. The silence was broken by the voice of one of the female guards. "Everything is alright kids. We are taking you to a safe place where there are no trials. A place where there is no W.I.C.K.E.D."
