The girl from the scorch

13

So it turns out Bertha was an old rusty car but somehow it still worked. All 10 of us just about managed to fit into the car with me squashed my minho in the middle seat.

Jorge was driving the car, being the only one of us who knows how to drive and where we're going. Newt had managed to claim the passenger seat which he looked all too pleased about, a wide smile plastered on his face the entire journey. However having the most space also meant he had Mollie on his lap for the journey. Then there was Thomas, Minho and me squashed in the middle seats with Minho sat between me and Thomas. Finally in the back of the car was Aris, Fry, Teresa and Brenda.

I don't think anyone but Newt, Mollie and Jorge were particularly comfortable.

None of us knew where exactly we were going so know one knew how long it would take to get there so we all took this time to relax. Teresa seemed to have fallen asleep in the back of the car rather quickly into the journey only making Fry soon follow her. Aris too was drifting out of consciousness as his body clearly begged for sleep.

Newt was turning round in his chair the majority of the time to talk to Thomas and Minho whilst letting Mollie fall asleep on his lap.

"You know if you were gonna talk to these two the whole time you should have let me have the front seat" I say jokingly to Newt.

"Yeah... no. I do not want to be cramped next to those two" he laughed back. At his comment both Thomas and Minho faked offence as I laughed, silently agreeing with Newt.

After that, I mostly zoned out of the conversation. My body begged for sleep after not getting much that night so eventually I closed my eyes, leaning on the window allowing my eyes to close.

Newt's POV

As I looked back from the passenger seat again I noticed Y/n had fallen asleep against the window. She looked peaceful as she slept, like everything in the world was okay.

"What are you staring at?" Minho suddenly asks with a laugh, pulling me out of my daydream.

"Oh Urm.... Nothing" I try to respond but it was obvious I was staring at her. Both Thomas and Minho clearly saw as. The both began laughing at my flustered reaction.

"You like her. Don't you?" Thomas suddenly chimes into the convocation.

"I... Urm"

"Just admit it hermano" Jorge suddenly says from the drivers seat. "It's obvious the way you look at her"

I can feel my cheeks start to heat up at his comment as I get more and more flustered. Even Jorge could tell. Was it that obvious?

As a way to end the convocation, I turn back around in my seat and focus again on the road ahead. There was barely a clear pathway through the sand however there was enough road to drive on. Much better than walking atleast. My legs have been killing me for days now I'm just glad we get an opportunity to rest.

I look behind me again to see Y/n still asleep but this time with her head on Minho's shoulder. It's clear he feels weird about it as he gives me a look asking what to do.

"Should I wake her up?" He says as if it's the smartest idea ever.

"No just let her sleep"

"But she's literally asleep on me" he complains

"Yeah and? Get over it" I laugh again. Turning round to face the front again.

We start approaching some taller mountains close by however Jorge has to stop the car as he notices all the other cars blocking the road I front of us.

He pulls the car to a stop rather quickly causing everyone to be jolted forwards, waking up anyone who was asleep.

"Good sleep?" I hear Minho ask Y/n as she slowly wakes up, lifting her head off his shoulder.

Y/n's POV

"Good sleep?" I hear a voice ask as Im woken up by the car throwing me forwards.

"Ughhhh" I mumble out as I roll my eyes and start sitting up. It's only now I realise I had seen asleep against Minho's shoulder probably the entire journey.

"Oh god. Sorry I fell asleep on you. I didn-" I stammer out but I'm quickly hushed by Minho.

"Hey. Hey don't worry about it. Your fine" he assured me as he just laughs at my awkwardness.

Eventually we all pile out of the car and walk forwards in a group. Everyone starts looking through car windows trying to get an idea of what happened here.

Me and Thomas both approached one particular car that seemed to have holes in the window. Suddenly realisation hits both of us as we realise those are bullet holes.

Then suddenly with no warning, we are being shot at.
