Cruel World {Minho}

Chapter 15

I sit there beside the girl with Jeff and Clint. I try not to look at Alby. I know he's dying,and there's nothing that can be done about it.

"When is she going to wake up?" I ask Clint,who's handing random things to his partner Jeff.
"How are we supposed to know that,look I'm sorry but we have no idea. I know it's good for you though,and I know why you want her to wake up."
"Why?"
"Because she's the only other girl in this place. I'm pretty sure everyone else wants answers."
"Answers?"
"Yeah. For that note that came up with her. I don't know how we expect to survive."

Then suddenly Newt,Minho and Thomas walk in. I smile slightly at Minho..

"What's going on with her?" Newt asks as he walks over to Jeff "Come on,what's the matter with her why won't she wake up?"
"Hey man I've got my job the same way you do." Jeff sighs.
"What about the note?" Thomas asks.
"We'll worry about the note later." Newt mutters.

Thomas looks at him,raising his eyebrows..
"I think you should worry about it now."
"Can everyone just stop!" I demand "Stop worrying."
"Just wait until we starve to death!" Thomas snaps "You won't be peaceful then!"
"What I'm trying to say is stop panicking,just continue as usual,she'll know something when she wakes up. Someone's gotta know something. Bye."

I walk out after that and back to the slaughter house. They're all silent. Just chopping up the meat.

"Is everyone okay?" I ask Winston in a quiet tone.
"Of course not. They're all panicked about the box. Do you think it's over,this society which took years to build?"
"It's not over,it's just going to be-"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" A voice screeches.

"What the hell was that?" I demand.
"Come on." I follow Winston outside then see a crowd of Gladers around the lookout tree. Items which are dropping down on them from above,I look up to see the girl. I smile to myself and feel myself start to giggle to myself.

I see Minho,Thomas and the two Med-Jacks run onto scene. I run to Minho and smile at him,letting out a laugh as he does the same.

Luckily after a while Thomas gets up and manages to convince the girl for him to join her. Maybe it's because she knows him. From when she called his name a few days ago.

We sit there for what seems like hours. Me,Minho and Chuck watch the girl and Thomas.

"What do you think is happening up there?" Chuck asks me.
"Nothing."
"But Thomas is going to be okay right?"
"Yes,of course." I pull Chuck into my arms and hug him tightly,then ruffle his hair.

I can't tell him the truth,I can't even admit it to myself. I know that we get out now or we die.

That's the only option.
