When we get back we discuss with Fry, Brenda, and Jorge about our way in. "No. There's gotta be another way." Thomas speaks up.

"Like what? You've seen the building. She is our only way in." Gally makes a point.

"I completely get your point but you really think she's gonna help us?" I look at him across the table.

"I don't plan on asking for her permission." He says.

"Am I missing something here? This is the same girl who betrayed us, correct? Same dick that basically killed Liz's mom because she called Wicked?" Brenda laughs causing me to nod my head.

"I like her." Gally points as Brenda.

"What's going on?" I ask seeing the look on Thomas's face as he paces.

"You don't actually care about Ellie because you're afraid your other little girlfriend's gonna get hurt? Hmm? Because this has obviously never been just about rescuing Minho. Has it?" Newt finally speaks up making Brenda grab my hand.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Thomas asks confused.

"Teresa. She's the only reason that Minho's even missing in the first place like Ellie already said. Now we finally have an opportunity to get him back. And what? You don't want to because of her? Because deep down inside you still care about her, don't you? Just admit it. The part of you that was before the maze." Newt gets all up in his face making him walk backwards.

"Newt, I..." Thomas gets cut off.

"Don't lie to me! Don't lie to me!" Newt shoves him up against the wall and I'm taken back starting to tear up. "Sorry. I'm sorry." Newt apologizes looking back at us before leaving.

I leave the room to follow Newt up to sit on the roof, "I'm sorry." Newt says as I sit next to him.

"Don't be. I know how you feel and I feel the same why." I lay my head on his shoulder and I see him mess with his right arm. "You okay?" I ask him causing him to sigh.

"I'm sorry, I've been hiding it." He raises his sleeve and I see all the veins.

My eyes start to tear up and I can't stop them from falling. "Newt..." My voice cracks as I put my hand over my mouth.

"Yeah." He sighs pulling it back down.

"Why wait to tell me? Newt, me? You should have told me right away... I'm your best friend. We're supposed to be best friends forever." I cry to him.

"I know but we just got you back after six months and you went through a lot... I couldn't do that to you. I didn't want you to worry about me. There's nothing we can do."

I just cry more, "But there is... My mom helped Brenda and look at her she's just fine. If we wait too long we can't help you. I watched my mom when she took Thomas's blood making the serum. I can do it for you."

He wraps his left arm around me pulling me into him, "We don't have the things we need to do that and right now we need to focus on gets Minho back." He kisses the top of my head.

"I hate you Newt. When it comes to yourself you never care." I cry looking up into his eyes.

"Like you? You always put others before yourself too." He kisses my forehead as Thomas comes out so I leave giving them to space to talk.

As I go back inside I see Gally at the table messing with things so I join him. "Oh you're back..." He looks at me for a second before snapping his head back, "Why are you crying?" He takes me by my shoulders only making me cry again wrapping my arms around his waist.
