"Yeah, thanks, Minho."
"Sorry," he nudges me.
"I think I'm going to take Joshua's word for it, and sleep."
"Good idea."
We both separate to our rooms, but I'm not about to just lie on my bed for three hours. I know for a fact I'm not capable of falling asleep now. Instead, I sit in front of the t.v, and watch random clips of Newt.
I come across the video of his fall. I say fall, I mean jump. His jump off of the Maze wall. The cracking of his bones are so distinct now. It pounds in my ears, makes me cringe.
I miss you...
I hear a knock at my door. I jump to my feet. I'll take anything for excitement now. Boredom could be the death of me...
I open the door to see Joshua. He pushes me in the room, and locks the door. "Listen to me, and listen to me good." He looks around the room. His glance stops at the t.v, and he rushes over to it. He unplugs it, and looks back at me.
"Hey, I was watching that-"
"No, you listen to me," he walks up to me, "WICKED is not good, you hear me? You'd better hope this 'cure' works."
"What's your problem?"
"Like I said, enjoy anything, and everything while you can. While you still have it."
"Tell me what's going on. Now."
"I can't. You just need to trust me." He walks over to the door, and unlocks it.
"You're WICKED too, yanno?"
He gives me one last glance, and leaves the room. What the klunk? I stand, astonished, in my room for a few minutes. Who can I tell? I think about it for a moment. No one. He told me to trust him, and I should give him a reason to trust me.
"McKenzie." It's that dumb communication thing. I turn around and look at the holographic Ava.
"What?" I ask sternly.
"I have completed the cure early. Meet me in the cellars." She disappears.
I breath a heavy sigh, and make my way down to Below Ground Level. "Back so soon?" Newt asks as he steps close to me.
"Ava told me to."
"Oh." He looks hurt.
"But...I'm glad she did." I smile at him. I spin around when I hear the sound of Ava's high heels, making her way towards us.
