Spinning me around to face him, our lips touch and move in sync. Kissing Newt made all your worries go away like you were free from pain, but then reality comes and you realize you live in the Glade. Where all your troubles never go away.
Rose is se...

It has been 3 months since Charlie died and I have finally forgiven myself for not taking the knife instead of him. Dean had also gotten banished after he killed Charlie, no one was very sad about that, especially Newt and I. Newt had managed to beat Dean up before throwing him in the maze, telling him he deserved every bit of pain for even trying to harm a hair on my head. I just smiled at his dedication and care for me.
Today though was Greenie day, I stood holding on to Newt's arm waiting for the box to come up. It turned out to be a young boy maybe twelve, he was chunky with curly brown hair and red cheeks. He was thrown in the pit because he kept trying to run.
I was helping unload the box of all our supplies, we were almost done when I stumbled upon a small instrument. I picked it up and examined it.
"What's that babe?" Newt asked, looking over my shoulder.
"I'm not sure, but it seams familiar." I replied, it seemed really familiar like I have used it a hundred times. I jumped out the box and sat on the grass trying to remember how to use it.
-Newt's POV-
She had sat there for maybe two hours, using that funny thing, when she finally came running over for dinner. She sat on top of the table looking at us.
"I remember what it's called." She said smiling. "It's called a ukulele."
"A uku-what?" Minho asked, she scrunched her nose in response to his sarcastic response, it was so cute.
"A ukulele." She said rolling her eyes. "I also remember how to play a song. You wanna hear?"
"Of course." I said smiling at her. She started to strum on the small instrument and sang the lyrics to the song.
You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me When the road looks rough ahead And you're miles and miles From your nice warm bed You just remember what your old pal said Boy, you've got a friend in me Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You got troubles, I've got 'em too There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you We stick together and see it through 'Cause you've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me
Her voice was beautiful, it went with the melody so well, trapping you in a trance listening to her voice. No wonder the creators sent the ukulele up in the box they knew we needed to hear her sing.
Some other folks might be A little bit smarter than I am Bigger and stronger too Maybe But none of them will ever love you The way I do It's me and you, boy
And as the years go by Our friendship will never die You're gonna see it's our destiny You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me
She finished with a smile on her face, I looked at every one at the table. Alby, Gally, Frypan, and Minho all had bewildered expressions on their face, just like the way I felt. I grinned at them.
"Wow, Rossy." Minho said. "Who knew you had so many talents?" She chuckled at his remark.
"I didn't either." She said still smiling. "A bad thing of not remembering yourself before the maze."
"You sounded amazing." I said and she returned it with a smile.
"Did you mean it?" Alby asked.
"Mean what?" She asked raising her eyebrows.
"The lyrics, is it true? Do we really have a friend in you?" He asked with a distant look on his face.
"Alby, why would you ask that?" I asked taken aback by the lack of faith in Rose, she had proven that she was a friend and a great girlfriend.
"No Newt it's fine." She said placing a hand on my shoulder. "I do mean it Alby, I will always be here for anyone of you. You do have a friend in me no matter what." She got up off the table walking off to the Homestead.
-Rose's POV-
I placed the ukulele against one of the poles holding up the Homestead. I sat on my hammock, thinking about what Alby had asked, did some of the Gladers still not trust me? Haven't I proven my loyalty to them over and over?
"Baby are you ok?" I heard Newt ask walking up to me.
"Oh, Yeah." I said looking up at him. "Just thinking about why Alby would ask me that. Do some of the Gladers still not trust me?"
He sat down next to me placing a hand on my back. "No I think they all trust you including Alby. I think he just really started to like Delilah and she had said you never helped her. He probably just still morns her and is probably shaky in trusting you fully." I nodded.
"I wish I could've helped her." I said sighing.
"And that's why I love you. You want to help someone who wanted you dead, I could never." He said kissing my cheek.
"Oh but I think you would." I said smiling at him, he was the most selfless person I knew. "You would do it for anyone here, even Gally." He laughed. "All I did was help myself from being banished, I didn't think to help her from that fate."
"NEWT!" Someone yelled for him.
"I better go." He said kissing my forehead. "Meet me in the Deadheads later tonight." He walked off to the person who called him.
