'A normal life' had never been something you knew. Growing up within WCKD's hands shaped your imagination of a normal life.

'Normal' was something you considered to be waking up, getting ready, having breakfast, being experimented on, hanging out with your friends, having dinner and going to bed again.

Occasionally, you and your friends would have sleepovers without WCKD knowing. Your brother, Thomas, and your friend, Teresa, were never with you during that time.

You were never okay with the fact that they worked with WCKD. Thomas just wanted to do his job, you knew that, but what WCKD did never sat right with you.

When Alby was sent into the maze, you knew Thomas wasn't confident in his job anymore. He started questioning WCKD's intentions and if what they did was right.

It was only a matter of time until he would do something stupid. It was only when he found you crying in your room, holding your boyfriend's shirt close to your chest, that he reached his breaking point.

You and Newt had been dating for around seven months when he got told he would be sent up as well, three months after Alby. He didn't know how to break the news to you without hurting you.

Let's be honest, that wasn't even possible, and he knew that as well. He considered breaking up with you. Maybe you would be happy if he was sent up after he broke your heart.

But he couldn't do that. Even though he'd never told you, he was deeply in love with you. Neither of you had ever said the big three words. It would hurt even more to say it now.

What hurt the most was seeing him slowly loosing hope. Every day, he'd run the maze with Minho, coming back without hope every day. You knew he couldn't do it much longer.

You begged Ava Paige to send you up, but she refused. You knew it might have been dumb asking her that, but you loved Newt with your entire heart, and you knew you would find back to each other even without your memories.

When you started rebelling against WCKD, around one and a half years after Newt was sent up, WCKD decided to send you up as well. This is where your new life begins.
