After the Death Cure 2 ( The Maze Runner )

Chapter 16 | Newt

Hurry, Kenzie. I need you. I've been here for over a week now. I lose my conscious, then gain it back. I think she's fake, then real. I wish I could be ok again. I wish we could be ok again. When will she be back for me? I sit up from my curled position on the floor. I scratch at the floor below me. I can't tell whether it's the Flare, or the silence that is driving me insane. I hear the elevator open. I perk up as I wait for whoever it is to appear. Minho.

And Kenzie.

I jump to my feet. "You guys need to get me out of here." I look over at Kenzie. She's standing behind Minho. Obviously hiding from me. "Please."

"We can't until you put on your big boy pants," Minho says with a smirk.

"Anything but these. I haven't showered in a week."

"See, look. He's barely crazy anymore, Kenzie."

She steps out from behind Minho, and stares me in the eye. I can't look away. It's as if she has me in a trance. "Ava is working on it," she mutters.

"How long?"

"Sometime in the afternoon. You can cure yourself, you know?"

I laugh. "No. No, I can't." I turn around so I don't have to face her anymore.

"Would you just-"

"No!" I try to calm down. I pull at my hair, and turn back around. "No..."

She just stares at me with those big green eyes. She almost doesn't blink. "Whatever, Newt. Ava will be down later." She turns to leave.

"No, please! Come back!"

She looks at me over her shoulder. "I'll be back later."

I rub my face with my hands. "Ok..."

I listen to her footsteps, and Minho's. I hear the ding of the elevator, and it closes. Silence. And these stupid guards. I take a seat on the bench, and burry my face in my hands.

I miss you...
