Unbroken [maze runner fan fic]

Chapter four: Leave me be

Elenas POV~~~~

Why was this even happening? It was a damn book! Thomas, and Dylan.. God they look so sad. But all I can do is call them by their names here, which I don't like.. It tells their endings. I tried closing my eyes for what seemed like hours and the finally..

'You can't do this! You know how it all ends! They die, some of us make it and there is NO cure!' I was screaming at this point. 'You're going to change it all Elena' the woman looked back at me. 'I hate you. I hate all of you.'

My eyes flew open, I couldn't catch my breath. What is this? A panic attack? 'Thomas? Can you hear me?' I felt like i was practically screaming inside of my head. 'I'm here. Are you alright??' His voice made it easier to breath. 'Come find me' I said to him, I didnt think I could choke out anymore words.

"Are you alright? You look like bloody hell"I recognized the accent in seconds. I sat up and looked over to Newt, with that stupid confused look on his face. Yet apart of me was happy to see him.

"I'm alright, just a rough dream" I said lying back down onto the hammock. Newt took the oppurtunity to plop down right beside me. I couldn't help but laugh. "How's Thom-"

"Are you alright?! You scared me!" Before I could even finish my sentence Thomas came running over. I rolled my eyes, great.

"How did she bloody scare you? She's right here. You're the one who got knocked out last night" Newt said, thankfully not understanding how Thomas knew. I threw Thomas a glare and he nodded. "Yeah I did, and it wasn't fun. I really don't like him. Not one bit" Thomas was getting heated and once again I couldn't help but laugh. "Thomas are you going running with Minho in a bit? Newt asked moving positions and standing up.

"I am! Which means I have to go, Elena be safe! Newt, i'll see you soon" and with that Thomas ws off.

"You two are close, yeah?" I asked as Newt sat back down. "I guess so, he's a good kid. He's got good intention. We've learned more from him being here then in the past-"

"3 years you've been here?" I said, Newt looked at me in pure shock, but i really didn't care. I knew everything abou him, everything about Thomas, and pretty much everyone in here. "How did you know?" he asked, and for a second, just one second I thought he was going to cry. Apart of me wanted to pull him into a hug, knowing what he himself was about to endure, but I ignored the feeling and continued talking to him.

"I read the books.. Can I ask you something?" I said, I knew I was about to step over a boundery, but I had too. "Why did you jump Newt?" He stared at me for a moment and then looked straight down to the ground kickingthe grass below him. After a few moments of silence he looked back up at me, "Shouldn't you know the answer to that question?" He said, he sounded hurt, in pain,and angry all at once.

"I do know, but I want to hear it from you" I grabbed his hand "I want you to tell me Newt". He looked at me once again, patted my hand and took a deep breath in. " I was living life as a runner, things were okay. I had high hopes we were gonna get out of this bloody place, and after months of searching I started to his reality. We were never getting out of here. The days began dragging on, the nights became sleepless ones, and I didn't wanna live anymore. There was no reason. I lost any hope I had left, and I fell into darkness. Alby found me one day lying on the ground."  he took a deep breath in, almost trying to catch his breath. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Enough. That's enough" I smiled at him and he attempted to smile back. There was still a small part of Newt that wanted to live. And I intended on giving him a life again. A happy one. We sat there for what seemed like hours,not a single word said by one of us. I couldn't stop thinking abut what lied ahead. I closed my eyes.. and darkness took over me.

'Elena' I looked up to see Jansen standing above me as I held onto Dylan and Thomas's limp bodies. 'What are you doing to them?' Anger rose in me. 'You'll understand. They will be fine' I stood up stepping away from them. 'Screw you! You told me you weren't sending anyone else up! You swore!' Jansen through me into the wall. 'Don't talk back to me Teresa!' I glared at him 'That's not my fucking name' I started to walk towards him. 'Elena!' the voice sounded so familliar. 'Elena!'

I jolted awake. Only to see Newt and Thomas staring right at me like they had just seen a ghost. "You guys scared the hell out of me!" I said as I shoved my way past them.

"You?? I came out of the Maze to Newt shaking you to wake up! You looked like you were in serious pain!" Thomas said stepping in front of me. I rolled my eyes, although it was nice seeing them care for me. I wanted to tell them about the dreams I was having but I couldn't. Not yet anyways.

"I'm fine! Thank you though. Where's Minho? We all need to talk." I said patting Thomas on the chest. His heart was racing.

"Present! What's up greenie?" Minho said laughing his way over. Great. I forgot how fun Minho could be.

"What did you find?" I said turning the corner. I lookd up to the sky, it was getting dark awfully fast.

"We found the greiver hole Elena. You were right. It's there" Hearing those words made me smile. I turned around to find Thomas, Newt and Minho all looking at me. "What? We leave tomorrow." I said beginning to walk away. Then fear struck me. Chuck, oh my God chuck. No fuck! No! I turned quickly to the three of them.

"We need to talk about something.. I haven't told any of you yet." I  walked back towards them. "Not all of us make it out." I said grabbing Thomas's hand. "Us four. We do. A few others as well, but Chuck he.. He doesn't make it out of the labs." Thomas looked at me with wide eyes. He began backing away from me, staring at me like I was a freak.

"Thomas please we can.." He ripped his hand out of mine "How could you hide something like that from me?!" He turned away from me and began walking off "Thomas!" I shouted, but he was already gone. "I'll go find him, Newt stay here" Minho said jogging after Thomas.

I sat back onto the wooden table. Fuck. Newt sat down next to me. "Don't worry, we'll figure something out. He's not bloody dead yet" I looked over to Newt who had his head agaisnt the walls, he looked over to me and straight into my eyes. His eyes... They hid so many things. I couldn't help but stare, because for some strange reason as I sat there staring into the broken boys eyes, I felt clarity. " I know he's not. I won't let him die" I finally said breaking the silence. Newt looked over and stood up.

"I need some bloody air" and with that he left. I stayed sitting there being eaten alive by my thoughts, and doubts.
