Hey guys, I'm Anna and this will be my first fanfic! I've written fanfics before but they were about PJO (Percabeth) and on a different site. I'm really excited and, well, I hope you like it!! Please remember, I'm still in school so I most likely won't be able to post every day. Maybe twice or three times a week. Enjoy!
All of us made it through the Flat Trans. All of us except Brenda.
On the other side, it was paradise. The sun was setting and there was a little village off to the left.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Thomas walk over to a hill. I knew he probably hated me for "betraying" him, but I had to talk to him.
"Tom," I say. "I'm so sorry about Brenda. I mean-"
"Why couldn't it have been you?!" He screams at me. "Why did she have to die? It should've been you!"
I stand there in shock. But just for a moment. Just a second later, I'm running away from him, as far as I can go until I bump into someone. I look up and see that it's Newt.
"Teresa? You okay?" He asks as he helps me up.
"Yeah, if by 'okay' you mean that I want to curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out." I say.
"Teresa," Newt says. "Don't ever waste your life crying because of something that upset you. Seriously, what happened?"
"I was trying to talk to Tom and he...he said that he wished it was me who died instead of Brenda." By then, a couple of tears are already slipping down my face and Newt pulls me in for a hug.
"Hey, it's okay. Tommy's just being a bloody shank," he says. "Don't listen to him."
"But...but I think I still love him..." I say with a sniffle. "Of c-course though, he'll never forgive me. He doesn't understand. They said they'd kill him if I didn't "betray" him! He just...doesn't understand. I really did mean that kiss in the Scorch."
"Shh," Newt says while rubbing my back. "I'll talk to him."
"Thanks, Newt." I say and pull away from the hug. He was like a brother to me. He knew I loved Thomas and never meant to hurt him.
"No problem. Let me go talk some sense into him." He says and smiles.
As he walks away, I think of any way I can repay him. He didn't have a girlfriend and I met a girl that he might like....
Her name was Rose and she was from Group B. She had dark brown hair and bright green eyes. Just like him, she held everyone together.
I went to go get her.
"Rose!" I shouted. "Come here!"
She runs to me as soon as she hears her name.
"What's up?"
"Well," I say. "You know Newt? From Group A?"
"Yeah...what about him?" She asks and looks at her feet, as if she's never seen them before.
"Do you like him?"
"What do you mean?" Rose says and looks up at me.
"I mean do you have a crush on him?" I know I was being kind of persistent, but I had to know.
"He is kinda cute...." She blushes.
"Yes!" I scream and look around for him. He must've finished talking to Thomas because he's standing near the village with Minho.
"Stay here," I tell Rose and run as fast as I can to Newt.
"Newt!" I grab his arm and start sprinting back to Rose. Minho just looks at me like I'm crazy.
"Teresa! Calm down, I can't run that fast!" He says, but I only slow down a hair.
We finally reach Rose and after pushing him into her, I yell, "Have fun!"
While I walk back over to Minho, I look back and see them talking. Rose's blushing and Newt is telling her something. It must be funny because she starts laughing.
"Playing matchmaker, are we now?" Minho asks with a smirk on his face.
"What? They're perfect for each other!" He just shakes his head so I say, "You know, maybe you and Sonya would be good together...."
"Haha." Minho looks at my face and asks, "Wait, you're serious?"
"Maybe." I smile, but it quickly fades. "Have you seen Tom anywhere?"
"Yeah, he's in one of the houses." He says.
"Thanks." I say and walk into the village. I stop when I come across a house with its lights on.
I open the door and walk up the stairs. One of the bedroom doors is open, so I peak in.
Thomas is sitting on the bed with his head in his hands.
"Tom?" I whisper.
"Go away, Teresa. I don't want to talk right now." He says but I don't stop.
"Look, I'm not trying to ask if we can be best friends. I'm just asking if you can forgive me. They told me that they'd kill you if I didn't. I cared too much about you to let that happen." I say and sit next to him on the bed. "I still do."
He shakes his head. "But do you know what it feels like to have your heart broken? To have your best friend kiss someone else right in front of you?"
"Tom, I really am sorry. I never meant any of that. I wish I could take all of it back, but I can't the past is in the past and it can't be changed." I say.
"I..."
That's Chapter One!! I hope you liked it! As I said before, I'm new here, so please don't judge if it's bad. Love you guys,
Anna
