"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...
On the way to the Right Arm, we had given Chuck the serum. We arrive and see Jorge still awake with Aris and Winston, waiting for us. Brenda, Minho, Chuck, and Newt get out of the vehicle to cure the poor guys but I don't move. I can't move. I stay completely still in the middle back seat, staring out into the darkness. Trying to find a single star in the sky, just to feel something-anything... but I can't. I just sit completely still as I feel the darkness wash over me until I don't see anything but black.
I awaken to the light of the sun, shining on my face. I have seen the sunrise a thousand times before, but this time just feels different. I look out of the window and see everyone speaking and just sitting around, I am guessing they all know what happened. I somehow manage to open the door of the jeep and walk out to my friends. Jorge spots me and gives me a hug, not saying anything to me. I walk away to find Newt, but Winston walks up to me, "Would you like anything to eat for now Thomas?" He asks. I smile at him, "You-you're alive," I answer.
"Yeah, it worked... Y/N's blood worked," he states.
"She was special," I say.
He sighs, "I'm so sorry man." He pats me on my back and walks away. I look around to find Newt, and I see him sitting on a ledge in the distance. He is all alone and I'm not sure if he can hear me, but I sit beside him. I notice his tear-filled eyes when he makes eye contact and quietly speaks, "She was my sister man... she sacrificed herself for us."
I remember that I am not the only person mourning for Y/N's death at the moment. She was important for Newt too, he loved her just as much as I did.

We sit in silence, staring out into the horizon, but I don't want to speak. I can't get myself to open my mouth anymore as I picture the horrifying scenes of yesterday. Y/N's last words, her bloody body, and the moment her eyes shut when I knew I had lost her. Memories of when I had let her down and yelled at her, keep flashing in my mind and it makes me just want to jump off of this ledge.
Then I remember all the good parts. All the times she smiled, the time we reunited, and the time I had chased after her into the maze. The day I met her, she was so scared of all of us, and thinking about it makes me want to laugh. I let out a chuckle and Newt glances at me, "Remember that time when I got her drunk?" He asks.
"That was pretty funny, I'll give you that. I didn't think that at the time though, but I have to admit it now. You know... you can't blame yourself for what happened. You were always there for her when I wasn't, and you're the reason she became a runner. Because of you, she figured the way to escape the maze!"
"Thomas, that was all her."
"Yeah well, she was pretty damn smart... and stubborn."

Epilogue
It's been two months.
As I was looking around for some extra clothes for the winter, I found Y/N's jacket. I walk outside to the others with it in my hands as Minho notices it. "She left that thing here?" He asks, looking at me.
"Yeah. The jacket she wore the last time we saw her, wasn't this one, it was Newt's actually. It was a black one." I sigh and look down at the brown jacket, before wearing it.
"Does it still smell like her?" Minho asks looking at the bloodstain on it. I exchange glances with Newt, "Not anymore..." I answer quietly.
The day passes and I wait until everyone is asleep, and I decide to sneak out to the vehicle. I start it then drive away, back to the WICKED tower. I make my way inside with the key card and I look for Janson. After a while, I find Janson by himself on the second floor. He sees me pointing the gun right at him, "Thomas..." he says raising his arms. I show no mercy and whatever pity I had ever felt, is now gone.
I close my eyes, I can still remember what she smelt like as if she were standing right in front of me. But I open my eyes and she isn't there, she never will be ever again. I only have Janson to blame for that and I am going to make him pay for all the harm he has done to us all. The only way to do that is to get what I want...
Revenge.
