*a few days later*

Morgan's POV

Tonight is a bonfire to celebrate another greenie. That means that I have been here for two months, and Erin has been dead for that long too. I feel like she isn't dead. I know she isn't dead. She can't be dead.

I walk up to Thomas who is gathering wood for the fire.
"Hey Tom." I say. He waves back not looking up from his work.
"No words for me?" I ask. What is his deal today? He shakes his head no.
"Really Thomas really?" I ask annoyed, crossing my arms. He finally looks up with a straight face, that slowly turns into a smile.
"Hey Morgie." He says, I laugh at the nickname and uncross my arms.
"Do you need any help?" I ask. He stands up, wiping his dirty hands on his pants. He walks over to the closest wall and sits down leaning his head against it. I do the same. I look over at him to see he was looking at me. We sit like that for about 10 minutes, just staring into each other's eyes. Until he broke the silence.
"Morgan, I like you." He said out of the blue. I smiled and felt my cheeks heat up.
"Tom, I like you too." I said without any hesitation. I knew I loved him as nothing could keep me from it. I leaned in and so did he. When our lips connected there were fireworks that shot through out my entire body. Our lips practically molded together like two puzzle pieces. Then it was over. Then he got up and put a hand out for me so I could do the same. I took his hand and we walked off to the homestand.

Thomas's POV

Oh yeah that's how you shucking get the girl. Fight me. Oh yeahhhhh. I'm a boss at this.

Morgan POV

We make our way to the bonfire and I sit against a log that sat a few dozen feet away from everything else. I watch the flames dance upon the logs. All of the gladers were laughing and joking and then my eyes land on Clint and Jeff. They were joking around and playing a hand game, it was cute. I analyzed them for a bit longer, it was obvious that they loved eachother.

I few minutes later I felt a presence sit next to me.
"Hey Morgie whatcha doin." Thomas said. I look at him and nod toward Clint and Jeff.
"Did you ever notice?" I ask him.
"Notice what? I know Clint and Jeff are best friends. What about it?" He replies, God this boy is clueless.
"They are in love." I say, that's when I look at him.
"What how do you know?" He says in disbelief.
"You can't think that out of the 50 boys here that you all like girls, plus you can see the way they look at each other. They don't know about how the other feels but, they are certain about how they feel." I fiddle with my thumbs and add at the end of my statement.
"Also that's the kind of love I want." I whispered at the end.
"And that's the love you are gonna get."
