Group C

Chapter thirty-one

They were gone. Flo. Annie. Both gone. Into the maze.
"....Newt...you can't go...no again..." Lou said looking at Lena with deep sadness in her eyes.
"What are you talking I have to go after them" I said, angrily. Lou turned to me.
"You can't, for one it's against the r-"
A massive noise erupted from the maze. The doors. Panic rushed through my body.
"WE CANT JUST LEAVE THEM TO DIE!" I shouted, addressing the group of gladers. I felt a hand on my shoulder, Tommy.
"She's right you know...you've done enough"
"How can you say that?" I said. I couldn't believe I was hearing this.
"THEY'RE OUR FRIENDS!" No one could meet my eyes. Not a single glader. Anger now rushed into me. I didn't know what to do. I was helpless. I turned to the door. And before I knew it, with one , fatal crashing noise, the doors closed. They were gone. I was breathing heavily. I couldn't think. I couldn't...I just couldn't. Before I knew it I had shoved Tommy's hand of my shoulder and ran, full pelt, to the forest. I heard people shouting, but I ignored them. I started crying. The tears rushing down my face as I ran. I didn't stop until I was deep in the forest. I stopped at a tree and climbed up it, to the agony of my leg but finally reached the top. I collapsed there. Crying. I cried and cried, until there were no tears left. My friend...she was gone. Sure I'd only known her a few days but...she was still my best friend. And now she was gone. I didn't like to think of what would happen to her. It hurt to much. Way to much. I felt like something had been ripped out of me. By the time is stopped crying, the sun had long set and the sky was filled with darkness. I couldn't sleep, not now. I didn't know how long I lay there but at some time a voice barged itself into my head, Tommy.
