The video goes perfect with this chapter,this is the final one then is the epilogue. So I hope you like this chapter and thanks for supporting me with this story and I hope you check out some of my other stuff.

(Newt POV)

"Hey Newt. It's me. Thomas. You still remember me right?"

Just seeing his face brings back everything he did. He killed me,he killed Alby. This is all his fault.

"I bloody remember you Tommy. You just came to see me at the Palace,rubbed it in that you ignored my note. I can't go crazy in a few days."
"Then why are you here?"

I want to tell him about Izzy,the crank girl. But I can't. He won't care. Not about me,not about her.

"It comes and goes,man. I can't explain it. Sometimes I can control myself,barely know what I'm doing. But usally it's just like an itch in my brain,throwing eveything off-kilter just enough to bother me- make me angry."
"You seem fine right now."
"Well I don't know what else to do. I just watched a young girl cut herself then demand I stab her so she wouldn't go crazy. Life's a bloody,whacky world!"
"Newt,come with me this time,right now. We can take you somewhere better-"

I let out a laugh,as I feel the itch in my brain get bigger. "Get out of here Tommy. Just go!"
"Just come with me!" Tommy begs "I'll help you get better... And,I'm sorry about that girl"
"Just shut up. You shuck traitor! Didn't you read my note? You can't just do one bloody thing? You always have to be the hero. I hate you."
"Newt..."
"It was all your fault! You could've stopped them when the first creators died. You could've figured out a way. But no! You had to keep it going,try to save the world,be the hero. And you came to the maze and never stopped. All you care about is yourself! Admit it! I hate you. I wish you was dead. I wish you were dead instead of Alby,Zart,Winston,Chuck,that girl,all these crazy horrible Cranks!"
"Newt you need to stop. They're going to shoot you. Just stop and listen to me! Get in the van now!"

I let out a scream and knock him to the ground,so I straddle him. My heart is racing around as the sweat pours from my fore-head,I feel the tears in my eyes...

"I should rip your eyes out!" I spit at him "What do you want? A bloody hug? To sit down and talk about our good times in the Glade?"

Tommy grabs his gun but I slap it away and pull out my own and press it into his hands.

"Do you wanna know why I have this limp,Tommy? Did I ever tell him? No,don't think I did."
"What happened?"
"I tried to kill myself in the maze. Climbed halfway up one of those walls and threw myself right off. Alby found me and dragged me back to the Glade right before the doors closed. I hated the place Tommy. I hated every second of everyday and it was all your fault."

I then push the gun onto my fore-head and Tommy grabs it,his fingers trembling as much as mine..

"Now make amends! Kill me before I become one of those monsters! Kill me! I trusted you with the note. No one else. Now do it!"

I know this is the right thing to do.

"Newt, maybe we can-"
"Shut up and do it!"
"I can't.."
"Do it!"
"Kill me or I kill you!"
"I.."
"KILL ME!"

And then something ticks,like something's coming back into place. I see something. I see Chuck,I see him smiling laughing, I see my parents. I see Winston,helping me,I see Alby. Holding me close,his lips against mine. Those were the reasons I lived. And those are the reasons I should die.

"Please,Tommy. Please."

Then he pulls the tigger.
