Chapter 1

FLASHBACK

"sweetie. You know I love you. I love you so much. Please remember that", she whispered, petting my wavy brown hair which was put into pigtails.  "but mommy I don't wanna leave", I pouted. "please. it's for your safety. Take care of Chuck for me." "ok mommy", I said, wiping the tears from my face. "I don't wanna go", Chuck whispered. "me neither." "I don't want to let you go but you need to be safe." "I love you mommy." "love you too my babies." She pressed a kiss on each of our heads before we were being pulled away. That was the last time I had ever seen my mom. My amazing, beautiful, funny, smart mom who I loved very much. Her voice never failed to put me to sleep. The second we were put down with the other kids, I cried. Chuck clung to me and we both cried our eyes out. I played with his curly hair as hot tears continued to stream down my freckled cheeks. Another boy sat there, crying as well. There were a bunch of other crying kids but this one caught my attention. When he saw us crying, he wiped the tears off his face and made his way over to us. "hi", he whispered. I looked at him through my tears. "hi." "i'm Thomas." "nice to meet you. i'm J-Jules." "who's the wittle boy?", he asked, pointing to Chuck. "oh this is my wittle bwother Chuck." He nodded. "do you wanna be my best fwend?" "yes."

TIME SKIP: 1 month before Jules was sent up

"I miss him", I said to Thomas, looking at my younger brother Chuck on the monitor. "they'll get out soon, I know it", he assured me, wrapping his arm around my waist. "are you sure? Most of them have been in there for three years! Three years we've been watching them and they haven't made much progress. They haven't even found the keys. They haven't found the exit. They've been dying and working hard and we just watch them suffer! They don't even know who they are! Chuck barley knows what's going on. He's just a little boy! He won't remember me when he escapes. I'll just be one of the terrible people who put him in there and watch him. Thomas I can't live like this anymore. I don't belong here. I should have never let my mom go. I should've stayed with her no matter what. Now here I am watching poor, innocent teenagers trapped in a maze almost impossible to escape." "Jules calm down. Please. You need to relax. They will come out soon I know it." Tears began streaming down my face as Thomas pulled me into his

Everything is gonna be ok I promise. They're gonna get out", he assured me. I blushed a deep red at the use of the nickname. "angel?", I joked. "well uh- yea." "cute", I whispered.

END FLASHBACK

While we sat on the plane, memories came rushing through my head. I had a lot of time to think. I sat next to Thomas who lay asleep. He really needed it since he was very much sleep deprived in the glade with trying to find a way out.

FLASHBACK

I heard someone moving so my eyes quickly shot open and landed on Thomas who laid awake on his back, eyes wide open as he rolled around, trying to get comfortable. "Thomas?" I whispered. "yea? Why are you up?" "I could ask you the same question." Thomas turned on his side to face me."look. I'm just not tired. i've got a lot on my mind." I slowly got up and creeped toward Thomas. "you need to sleep", I whispered, grinning down at him. "move over." He looked confused but made room in his hammock. I laid next to him , wrapping my arms around him to keep me from falling. "night Thomas", I whispered. "night jules", he smiled, placing a kiss on my head.

END FLASHBACK

"Thomas! Thomas! Thomas! Wake up! We gotta go! Come on! Let's go! Let's go! We gotta go!", Minho shouted, snapping me out of my flashbacks. Thomas got up and ran after everyone else, with me following close behind.
