Thomas x reader Maze Runner II Scars You Left Behind

Flare

Your POV

We all get into our sleeping bags and prepare to sleep. Thomas finds his way to me to make sure there are enough and there is. I lay with the other girls who I now consider my friends and Thomas asks, "Hey, do you need anything? Are you cold?"

"I am alright Thomas, goodnight," I reply.

It is easy for me to fall asleep, but I wake up randomly a couple of hours later. Trying to sleep but I can't seem to, I feel bothered and thoughts start filling my mind. I never really stopped to think about why all these things have happened to all of us. I sit up and look over to the boys, I see Thomas so I walk up to him. He is fast asleep and I tap his arm hoping I wouldn't scare him. Fortunately, he opens his eyes slowly and recognizes me, 

"Y/N? What's wrong, did something happen? Are you scared? You can stay here if you want," he whispers.

"No, it's alright," I assure him, "I just cant sleep and I want to talk."

"Talk to me? About what?"

I sigh, "About everything. I feel like ever since I arrived in the glade, I haven't had the chance to ask questions or really speak to you with everything that's happened."

"Well, if it's about why we were put in the maze and how the virus started- you know that no one else here knows any more than you do."

Though it isn't just about the glade, I need to know why I am immune. Why am I the cure?

"Why isn't anyone else the cure? Why me? Are we always going to be on the run?"

"Calm down, I think only a small amount of the population are the cure. Maybe it is random. Also, maybe there are others here that are immune to the flare."

"Did you ever remember anything besides your name?"

"No...you?"

"Nothing. I wonder what our pasts were like. Do you think we knew each other?"

"We could have. I wonder if we have any siblings... what if it is someone in here right now and we don't know it?"

"I guess we'll never know."

Morning

I wake up from the noise of rustling and movement from the others. Everyone is heading outside but I can't see Thomas anywhere so I ask Newt, "Hey, have you seen Tommy?"

"Um, I think I heard him outside a while ago."

I find him and Minho having some sort of argument with Aris, Jorge and Winston so I approach them. "It's too risky to go back there, guys!" Thomas shouts.

"How else are we all going to eat and drink if no one goes and finds supplies?" Says Jorge.

"They are right Thomas... unless you want to go instead?" Minho tells him.

"I would rather stay put right here with Y/N. I promised I wouldn't leave her again," Thomas answers and walks beside me. 

"It's alright Thomas. I'm safe here and they need you," I tell him. 

He sighs, "Alright then... hey Frypan and Chuck, make sure to take care of her alright?"

"Sure thing," Frypan replies.

"Minho you better make sure he doesn't die," I tell Minho.

"Yeah, I got his back. Ain't that right Tommy? Want me to go over the times I saved your ass?"

Thomas rolls his eyes and Jorge turns on the engine of the jeep while the others load supplies in the trunk. Aris, Winston and Minho get inside and Thomas waves Newt and me goodbye. 

**********

It has been a few hours since they left and the others are panicking. "Someone should try and contact them," Teresa suggests.

"We already tried to, twice. But they are too far for these radios," Newt answers. 

I start to feel worried, what if they got caught? What if they are lost? I look into the distance and see the vehicle coming our way, "Th-they're back!" I shout. They hop out of the car but I notice something is wrong with Aris and Winston. Thomas and Minho help them out of the jeep and they fall to the ground. They both look really sick and Aris has red eyes, looking exactly like a crank. They must have gotten bitten. "What happened?" Frypan asks.

"They caught the flare," replies Thomas.

"Caught? So they weren't bitten?" Chuck exclaims.

"No, the disease is also airborne."

"That doesn't make any sense, why isn't Thomas and the others infected by it?" 

"We must be immune."
