Aspen gripped the pistol at his side, staring at Gally with waiting and watchful eyes.

He watched as Gally's stern expression faltered as his eyes began to well. For Newt, and for Aspen's future.

He stalked towards the boy, gripping the gun as Aspen closed his eyes.

The faint sounds of Minho interjecting and Frypan's sobs filled his ears before a gunshot rang through the air, and the world went silent.

Death's door was opened, and Aspen welcomed it.

All to see Newt one last time. All so he could fulfill his promise that everyone would be okay, that he'd come back to him.

It just so happened to be in the afterlife.

"Dear Thomas,

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, it's likely to be my last. I want you to know, that I'm not scared. Well, not of dying, anyway. It's more forgetting. It's 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 used to hit the Glade at that perfect moment right before it slipped beneath 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 even remember his own name. But from that moment you ran into the maze I knew I would follow you anywhere. And I have. We all have. If I could do it all over again, I would, and I wouldn't change a thing. And my hope for you, is that when you're looking back years from now, you'll be able to say the same. The future's in your hands now, Tommy. And I know you'll find a way to do what's right. You always have. Take care of everyone for me. And if he's still around, take care of my boy. And take care of yourself. You deserve to be happy. Thank you for being my friend. Goodbye, Mate.

Newt"

And that concludes Disconnection. The funny thing is this is the first story I've ever actually finished. I always start writing books and abandon them, but thanks to that one reader that's been here since the beginning, I pushed through. Thank you, htaed_76
And thank you to all my other amazing readers, though there are only a few of you.

I'm not gonna lie I cried writing chapter 30.

(edit)
Hi, it's me two years after this chapter was posted, go read my other book, Pretty Boy, if you're interested. It's a greys anatomy fanfic!

Anyways, that's all, bye now.
