I went off to the big building we had built to sleep in. It was one big room. People had hammocks to sleep in. Me and Newt managed to scrap up some blankets to use as a bed because we couldn't both sleep in the same hammock. It was in a little corner a bit further away from the others so we had a little more privacy. Underneath our blankets, there was a lose floor board that I kept my journal hidden in. I was about to get it out when I heard someone enter so I quickly shuffled under the blankets pretending to be asleep. I felt someone slide under the blankets next to me, it was just Newt.

"Love, aren't you boiling in that?" He pointed to my hoodie.

"No" I pulled down my long sleeve so it covered my arm.

"Ok, well get some sleep then" he kissed my head.

I had a pretty disturbed sleep. I kept waking up then falling back to sleep again every hour or so. Still, I tried my best not to wriggle a lot because I didn't want to disturb anyone else. When I woke up again, I heard shuffling. So I opened my eyes and saw Newt shoving things in his bag. What was he doing? I didn't get up and pretended I was still asleep so I could observe him and find out what he was up to.

"Newt are ready yet?" Fry asked.

"Shhh!" Newt whispered "Quiet you'll wake her up!"

"I still don't understand why we're leaving her, can't we just take her with us?" Fry whispered back.

"Because it's too dangerous, I don't want her getting hurt, she's better off just staying here and getting to the safe haven"

"Fine, but Thomas is going to say the same thing about us"

"Screw what Thomas thinks, we're going with him weather he likes it or not, if he wants to rescue Minho, he needs help, he's not going alone"

They quietly left the building and I sat right up. They were planning to sneak out to rescue Minho? And they were just going to leave me? Not on my watch! I quickly got up, slipping my jacket on and grabbing my bag. Shoving in anything I would need including my journal. When I finished, I tiptoed out of the building, into the cold, dark night. Standing from a distance, I watched to see what they were doing.

"Newt" Thomas said.

"Look, we started this together, may as well end it that way too"

Thomas looked annoyed and let out a loud sign.

"Fine"

I stepped right out into the open, drawing their attention to me. Newt cursed under his breath and looked over to Fry with a scowl.

"I told you to be quiet!" He scolded.

"Hey it ain't my fault!"

"Oh shut up!" I told them "I'm coming with you"

I strolled towards the truck but Newt grabbed a hold of me.

"No, you're not, it's not safe"

"Not safe" I laughed " I survived the maze, the scorch and a wicked attack with all of you and you're going to tell me I can't go because it's not safe?Bullshit"

"Language" He warned" look, Y/n, just stay here and go to the safe haven"

"No, you need me" I folded my arms.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, how do you really think you're going to get Minho out of wicked on your own? You've never been there before, you have no idea what it's like. But I know it inside out. You need me"

Thomas pursed his lips and sighed again "Newt she's right she knows that place better than we do"

Newt groaned and combed his hands through his hair in frustration.

"Fine!" He gave in " You can come with us"

"Yes!" I cheered, climbing into the back of the truck.
