Lovers Maze

High

Chapter Twenty

I sit in the bed, it's been two days since the rain storm and things have cleared up properly. A few of the Runners managed to find their balls and go back into the maze too.

Alby also made a good recovery and came to me earlier telling me of his memories from the Changing.

~earlier~

Alby sits the the chair beside me bed and sighs "It's horrible, we don't need to escape from here" he mumbles frowning.

"Alby, the box isn't coming back up... Ever again" I say slowly and carefully.

"It's horrible Bill, the Flare, the Scorch. People, dead" he says slowly.

I nod "I've had the memories too Al, though. None of the outside, just of the Gladers, especially Newt" I explain mumbling the last part.

He sighs "It's horrible, we don't need to go back"

"I want to live"

~present~

Slowly I manage to stand up and I pull on a jumper that was lying at the end of my bed and I slip it on. I goes over my shorts and I shrug and exit the room and quietly make my way downstairs and outside into the hot sun.

"Billie! You shouldn't be out here!" Flint exclaims running over.

I shrug "it's too boring" I pout like a child and stick my bottom lip out.

He sighs and walks back to the Infirmary and I smile victoriously. As I walk again I notice that I have a limp in my right leg.

"It never really recovered from the frost bite"

I turn and see Minho, I smile and he hugs me. He's always been a brotherly figure.

"How bad was it?"

"You died"

I gasp putting my hands to my mouth "Teresa had some miracle life saver stuff with your name on and it saved you" he explains as we walk around the Glade. Well I limp.

I nod "things are going to change Minho"

"Things are already changing"

I nod and I hear thuds and we turn around. A figure jumps onto me wrapping their arms around my waist hugging me tightly.

"Newt! Shuck dude!" Minho shouts clutching his chest.

I chuckle and hug Newt "hello to you too" I say.

He plants his lips on mine and I melt into the kiss "EWWW! They're eating each other faces again! Cannibalism!" Minho shouts at the top of his lungs.

We part and turn to Minho who had one hand cupped around his moth, the other pointing at us.

We laugh "are you guys even together!" Thomas shouts.

Newt turns to me and I shrug "I dunno"

"Dude ask her!"

"Go on mate!" Someone shouts attempting an Australian accent.

As Newt turns to me I burst into fits of laughter "Whoever tried the Australian accent is shucking awesome!" I exclaim like a child.

"Dude is she high or something?"

"I've never seen this side of her before"

"We need to find what was in the serum and get more of it"

"Shut up! I'm not high I'm just...!" I shout angrily and stop to think and the Gladers go back to work after laughing and I smile.

"Damn your girlfriends hot when she's mad" Minho says smirking.

I clench my fist "want to see how mad this chick can get?" I ask.

Then he begins to run away leaving Newt and I alone.

I turn to him and smirk "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks in a whisper.

I shrug "aren't I already your girlfriend?" I ask and he smirks.
