Always and Forever [Book 3]

To Be Continued...

Rachel's POV
I am in our base away from the destroyed WCKD. I gave my blood to cure the infected ones and now i sit on a chair with my hand on my forehead. Then Thomas walks in.

Thomas :You were right. Everything was fake. It was all just a scenery.

I scoff.

Thomas:What are you gonna do now?

Rachel :I don't know... I might return to New Orleans. How about you?

Thomas:I don't know. I didn't have the luck for my family to remember me.

He gets up to leave.

Thomas :Oh and Rachel. Newt gave me this to give it to you.

He hands me a piece of paper and walks away. I open it and read it.

Dear Rachel,
This is the first letter I can remember writing. Obviously I don't know if I wrote any before the maze, but even if it's not my first, likely to be my last, I want you to know that I'm not scared. Well not of dying anyway, it's more forgetting, its losing myself to this virus, that's what scares me. So every night I've been saying their names out loud. Alby, Winston, Chuck, and I just repeat them over and over like a prayer and it all comes flooding back. Just the little things, Like the way the sun use to hit the glade right before it hit the walls and I remember the taste of Frypan's stew. I never thought I'd miss that stuff so much. And I remember you... I remember the first time you came up in the box, just a scared little greenie, who couldn't remember even her own name, but from that moment you ran into the maze, I knew I would follow you anywhere. And I have. We all have. Even if this WCKD case happened I don't care. If I could do it all over again, I would, and I wouldn't change a thing. And my hope for you is when you're looking back years from now, you'll be able to say the same thing. The future's in your hands now Rachel, and I know you will find a way to do what's right, you always have. Take care of everyone for me and take care of yourself. You deserve to be happy.

Thank you for being my friend. Goodbye

Newt

A tear falls from my eye down on my cheek and I let out a small laughter. I stand up and walk outside. I see my family getting ready to leave along with Damien. I walk towards them. They all look at me.

Rachel:I'm ready to go home now.

Katnice:You sure you're OK?

I nod

Rachel:Always and Forever right?
