"You are going to keep on making stupid mistakes leaving others to rescue you until it will be your last and you will find no one there to save you! "
You awaken in the glade, surrounded by guys... though your gaze rests on one boy alone. You make a...
Thomas, Ben and Minho wake up at the crack of dawn to run into the maze and map it. Winston was not feeling too well and had been puking the whole night, so he takes the day off and Thomas takes his hammock. One hour passes and you awake with the others and you all go to eat breakfast.
As you work and get to know Chuck and Newt better, the day passes quickly.
"It has been a while, the runners should be back," Newt states.
"I hope they are alright."
"You mean, you hope Tommy is alright," Newt chuckles.
It is nearly sundown and you are worn out, laying on the grass staring up at the clear sky. You then see people walking past you and over you and they start shouting at one another.
Following the noise, it leads you to the front of the maze where Ben was groaning in pain on the ground all covered in blood.
"Where are the others?" Newt asks.
"Thomas and Minho were right behind me, a Griever was fucking chasing us!"

They help him up and take him to the homestead when the walls start to slowly close. Chuck points into the maze, "It's Thomas!"
You push past the boys and see him with blood dripping down his right leg, limping. He is not going to make it, you think. He would need about a minute until he reaches these walls but these walls have around thirty seconds.
"S-someone needs to help him!" You yell at Alby.
"Noone has the guts to, we aren't runners anyway."
You glance at Thomas and decide that this isn't going to be the last time you see him. If a Griever doesn't get to him, he will surely bleed to death, "If you aren't going in, then I am," you whisper and run inside once again. You catch up to him and he yells at you to go back,
"Y/N no! We will both get stuck this way, are you crazy!"
"I couldn't leave you hanging," you wrap his arm around you and start to jog with only about ten seconds before the walls close. You hear Newt calling your name and telling you to hurry with only less than ten seconds left.
Thomas groans, inches away from the walls, "Shit! We are not gonna make it!"
"You're right, we won't. But you will!" With only a split second left, you push him outside and the walls close.
He slams onto the ground hard and the medjacks hurry over to help him up but he yells at them.

"Y/N! Fuck!" He kicks the walls in anger as the others stand in silence all in shock of what they have just witnessed.
You stumble back and hide behind a corner once you hear the Griever. You can barely hear the muffled words of the gladers outside before you remember that Minho never made it out. So he must be hurt, you walk further in trying to locate him but not calling him so the Grievers don't find you first.
"Y/N?" He mumbles while on the floor.
"Minho!"
"What are you doing here?"
"I kinda just helped Tommy out because the other Gladers you have out there? They are all a bunch of cowards!"
He grins at you before groaning and you see blood gushing out fast from his hip.
"Oh my god, we need to cover that! Can you take your top off?"
"I can't fucking move!"
You remove yours, luckily having a tank top underneath, "Here, lean forward a bit for me."
You tie it around his waist and make a tight knot on top of the deep cut. Fortunately, it stopped it but not fully. He winces in pain and leans his head back when you glance up at the now black sky. You feel a gush of wind blow past you and get goosebumps, "Shit, I'm going to freeze to death I guess," you whisper afraid you might get hyperthermia.
You decide to jog around to keep your blood flowing and to warm up. An hour passes and you are only getting colder and more tired so you sit down. You tense up, your teeth chattering and you are snuggled up close to Minho trying to get some warmth. He is already passed out, exhausted and you close your eyes.
*******
The sun rises and Winston finds you and Minho, "Over here!"
Thomas limps right behind him before leaning down in front of you, you are unconscious and Minho wakes up.
"Why isn't she waking up?" Thomas yells and Minho struggles to sit up.
"Sh-she gave me your top so I wouldn't bleed out and I suppose her body is too cold to wake up."
He is right, you have no shirt, your pants are ripped and you stayed up late trying to warm yourself. "So you think it's hyperthermia?" Thomas asks.
"Yeah, but on top of that, this is all too much for her. She has been traumatized and she is exhausted mentally too," says Winston. "Then why would she run into a situation she knows is dangerous?" Minho asks.
Winston glances at them, "Because she is in love with him."
