I stayed up all night, mainly because of my nightmares, but also because I was scared. Scared that those creatures were going to come back. I watched Minho sleeping peacefully, not in a creepy way but in a loving way, he's so perfect.
I removed Minho's arm that were wrapped around my waist and slowly got up, careful not to wake anyone. I looked around careful incase those creatures were lurking around.
I climbed to the top of this sort of hill and sat at the top looking out into a broken city. The sun shining and glaring down on me. I felt a hand touch my shoulder and I whipped my head towards it and quickly stood up.
"Hey hey hey, it's just me." Thomas said quickly as he realised my panicked expression. I calmed down quickly and sat back down, he took the seat next to me and spoke, breaking the silence. "So what are you doing up so early?" He questions.
"I haven't been to sleep." I say feeling Thomas's glare on me.
"And why not?" He says and I turn to look at him. "I just couldn't sleep." I say looking away again.
"I don't believe you." I don't say anything and he sighs before continuing. "Malia if it's about your nightm-" he says before I cut him off. "No, well I- well yes but not just because of that." I stutter out.
"Then what else." Thomas said. "I was scared." I finally say. His eyes soften at my words. "I'm scared of losing one of you. Anything could happen and I don't know what I would do if I lost one of you. I also can't sleep because of my nightmares, I'm scared of having them again." I finally say.
"Malia you need sleep. I know your scared but so am I, so is everyone. I promise nothing will happen to us, I'll try my best to not let anything happen and as for the nightmares, what did I say about that?, they're not real Malia, they may seem real but they're not okay?" I nod at him and smile greatfully at him. Thomas is like my big brother, he always knows what to say and he's always there for me.
I hug him and he hugs me back. "Thank you Thomas." I say and he smiles. "So you and Theresa huh." I ask as he chuckles at me and rolls his eyes.
Thomas soon goes to wake up the others as we get ready to start moving again. I walk over with Thomas to help. I see Minho and smile at him, but he just looks away. I ignore what just happened as I see Winston struggling to get up. I walk over to help him up. "Hey Winston you okay?" I ask. "Yeah yeah I'm good thanks Malia." He smiles back.
Everyone gets packed and starts to head up to where Thomas and I were before, overlooking the broken city.
"What the hell happened to this place?" Frypan said out loud as we walked through the city. I see the falling buildings that surround us. I look towards Minho who hasn't said a single word to me.
"I don't know. It doesn't look like anybody's been here in a long time." Newt answered from beside me.
"I hope the whole world's not like this." Aris spoke up.
