They finally escaped the maze and Julianna couldn't be happier. She keeps getting flashbacks and more about the past is revealed. She hopes that they will finally have happy lives but something seems off. People who she thought she knew and could tr...
Thomas and I laid awake staring at the bottom of the top bunk. Thomas's arm was wrapped around my waist, holding me close as we stared at the bed in silence. Then there was a loud banging sound which seemed to be coming from underneath our bed. "what's that?", I whispered to Thomas who just shrugged. "Hey.Down here", someone whispered. Both Thomas and I looked under the bed to see a boy waving at us. "Oh, my God", I whispered. "Come on. Follow me", he whispered as he began to crawl into the vent. I stood up and made my way under the bed. "what are you doing?", Thomas asked. "going to see what the boy wants to show us, duhhh." He rolled his eyes but followed as I crawled after the boy. "Hurry, this way.Come on", the boy said, urging us on. "Hey, wait a second", Thomas said, pushing past me. "Thomas!", I whispered shouted. "sorry!What the hell are we doing?", he asked the boy after apologizing to me. I stopped for a second to fix my tank top straps because

they kept slipping down my shoulders. "Come on, we're gonna miss it." "What the hell am I doing?", Thomas muttered. "we're crawling like babies to see what this boy wants us to see. Who knows? It could be helpful", I shrugged. "What are we doing?", Thomas asked again as we reached an opening. "Come here.Watch", the boy said. We silently watched as the doctor stood by a door and other doctors rushed what looked like containers(idek) which seemed to have bodies in them from what I could tell. The girl opened the door with a keycard and urged them to go into the room. Before I could see what was inside the door shut. "What the hell was that?", Thomas asked as I kept trying to look into the room though it was no use. "They bring in new ones every night like clockwork", the boy continued. "You know what they do with them?", I asked nervously because who knows what they do with those poor kids. "I don't know. This is as far as I've ever gotten. The vents don't even go into that section. But once they go through that door, they don't come back out. I don't think anybody ever really leaves this place." The last thing the boy said sent shivers down my spine. I felt my face flush and I felt light headed. "Come on. We've gotta go before somebody notices we're gone", he said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Why did you show us this?" "Because maybe the others will listen to you two. There's something weird going on here. And I know you guys think so too", he told us just as we made our way toward the bed. I could see the mattress through the metal poles that held it up. Just as I was about to get back into bed I looked under the bed, whispering to the boy. "Hey, wait. What's your name?", I asked as he turned around. "Aris." I nodded as he crawled off. Thomas pushed me over toward the wall. "we have to get some rest", he told me. "no shit Sherlock.I can't sleep though. Especially not after seeing that." "come here", he said, opening his arms. I hesitantly moved closer to him. "I got you ok? Nothing..no one can hurt you." I looked up at him but I felt like my throat was closing. I started breathing heavily, sitting up trying to breathe. I felt dizzy and I could feel my body begin to tremble. It felt like I was losing all control I had. My body felt too hot like I was in the hot desert wearing too many layers. Sweat dripped down my neck and I felt as if I were choking. It was getting harder to breathe and it felt like my heart was running a marathon at the rate it was beating. My chest began aching and that's when I realized. I was having a panic attack. Thomas sat up next to me and stared at me with a worried expression. "Jules are you ok?", he asked, placing a hand on mine. He felt how hot I was so he pushed the blanket off me and brought me closer to him. "Breathe Jules Breathe. Think of something happy!" I tried but all I kept seeing were the doctors bringing the bodies into the room. Thomas noticed that didn't help so he began thinking. He rocked me back and forth thinking of something to help the panic attack that seemed to be taking over me. "Ok open your eyes and look at me. Ok focus on me. Breathe in and breathe out. Jules you need to relax. Please calm down. Breathe." I looked at Thomas staring into his eyes as I followed Thomas's instructions. I was still not breathing enough. Thomas put his hands on my face and looked into my eyes before leaning in and pressing his lips against mine. I was shocked at first but closed my eyes and relaxed into the kiss. I breathed through my nose and then Thomas pulled away. My breathing finally became normal once again and I stared at Thomas. "are you ok?" "yea i'm- i'm ok." "i'm sorry it was just in the moment and I didn't know what to do I just...thought it would help and I really didn't have any clue what I could do to help you and i'm- i'm sorry." "Thomas. it's ok. It was actually...kinda nice." "I uh- I know we didn't meet to long ago but I know i've met you before and I just wanted to tell you this. I uh- I love you Julianna and I don't know if you feel the same but...I love you." My eyes widened in surprise but a smile made its way onto my face. "Thomas. How could you say that? Of course I love you. So so much." "uh...will you be my girlfriend?" I nodded, smiling as I threw my arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. After we pulled away he pushed me down on the bed and laid next to me, his arms wrapping around my waist. "night." "night Tommy."
TIME SKIP: THE NEXT MORNING
"Alice. Barry. Walt. Edgar. Samantha-", Janson spoke into the microphone as people scrambled to get up. Thomas told them all about the door and everything that Aris showed us last night. "I wanna know what's through that door", I whined. "Aaron." "Now, we've been over this. You said they were covered up, so you don't know what you saw", Newt said. "Dennis." "It could've been anything under there", he finished. "I know exactly what I saw. They were bodies. Jules saw it too she knows." I nodded in agreement with Thomas's statement. It had to be bodies, it was the only reasonable explanation. "Sally." "Aris said they bring "Aris said they bring in a new batch every night," i told the boys, fixing the strap of my tank top. The shirts they

gave us were too big and the straps kept slipping down my shoulders. At least we had clean clothes though. "Who the hell is Aris?," Minho asked. I pointed to where Aris sat examining his food. "Henry. Tim." "Well, I'm sold", Minho said sarcastically. "And last but not least, David. Thank you for your attention. Enjoy the rest of your evening", Janson finished, walking away from the mic as the kids followed."Okay, until we know anything for certain, we should just keep our heads down... and try not to draw any attention to ourselves, all right?", Newt said but I paid now attention. My gaze focused on the man who held a key card which he swiped, allowing Janson and the kids to leave the room. Without thinking I got up, Thomas following behind me. "What are they doing?", Chuck asked in disbelief. "I think they're drawing attention to themselves", Frypan said. I went to go out the door and follow Janson but the man pushed me back.This bitch just touched me I- "Hang on. You weren't called", he said pushing Thomas back as well. "I know, I'm just gonna be a second", I assured him "This is a restricted area, kid", he said, continuing to push me backwards. "we just wanna see our friend. Can you let us through?", Thomas said. "Get your asses back in those chairs", he said poking our chests. He really just fucking touched me again..ok. I turned around and began walking away. Thomas stood beside me but while he kept walking I turned back toward the man and shoved him forcefully. "Back off!", he yelled pushing me back. I shoved him even harder. "What's your problem, man?", I shouted, continuously shoving him. "What the hell, huh? Back off!" As I pushed him, my hand subtlety slipped into his pocket grabbing the keycard and slipping it into my bra. He pushed me back into Thomas and Newt. Chuck just stood there in shock. "Why won't you let me see her?," I pushed on to make it believable as the boys pulled me back. "Control your friend!" "What's happening here?", Janson shouted pushing through the guards. He saw me in the middle of it all as he looked at the guard before turning back to me. "Julianna? I thought we could trust each other. You know we're all on the same team here", he said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Are we?", I retaliated. "Get them to their bunks", he told the guards. They pushed us along, gun pointing to my back. "Get your asses in there! All of you!", one man shouted pushing us into the room and shutting the door behind them. "What the hell was that about? You didn't really think they were just gonna let you through?", Newt said. "Nah, of course I didn't", I grinned, pulling the keycard out of my bra. Thomas smiled as if proud that I started the fight. All for the keycard. "I'm gonna find out what's on the other side of that door. Thomas wants to. I know he does." "Right", Newt said shaking his head. "Newt, they're hiding something. Okay? These people are not who they say they are", Thomas defended.
heyyy! so this chapter was super long but ya. finallyyy I got to write their kissing scene. I thought iof many possible ways to do it but most were so cliche so I wanted to do something less common. the panic attack just added to the list of problems they face since it becomes more of a problem when they are in scary and stressful situations so I think it adds to the suspense and creates a whole new problem. btw if you didn't like the outfits, as always think of whatever you like. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. love you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️
