After an hour or so of playing truth or dare, we all got sleepy and decided to call it a night. Just as Thomas was going to leave with Newt and Minho back to their cabin, I called him over.
"Hey, Tom! Can I talk to you?"
"Yeah, sure," He replied.
After saying goodbye to our friends, we began to walk towards the cliff.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
"Us," I said nervously.
"Uh, what do you mean?" He asked.
"Well, I want to be friends with you again, Tom."
"We are friends."
"Not really, it hasn't been the same... Ever since The Scorch Trials."
"And whose fault do you think that is?" He replied, voice tinged with annoyance.
"Wha-? Are you serious Tom?"
"Yeah."
"Look, I know that I betrayed you. I know that I really hurt you... But I was forced to! WICKED said to betray you or else they'd kill you!"
"I understand that... But you went too far..." He frowned.
"I guess I might have, but I didn't want to take any chances! It's WICKED for crying out loud!"
"Teresa, I.. just don't think things will ever be the same between us. I trusted you with all my heart and you completely crushed me. I don't know if I can ever get over that."
"Tom, I know I said that I knew what I was risking when I betrayed you. That ruining what we might've been was worth it as long as you weren't dead. But I can't."
"Can't what?" He asked.
"Get over you, idiot." I choked out, tears forming in my eyes.
We finally reach the cliff and sit down next to each other. Not a single shucking word being spoken. After a few minutes, Tom broke the silence.
"Guess what?"
"What?" I asked, confused.
"I can't get over you too."
With that he leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. He pulled away, slightly blushing. I felt my face turn red.
"So does that mean..?" I asked, hopeful.
"Yeah, it does," He replied, a small smile on his face.
"So what now?"
"Let's take it slow. I don't want to rush this."
"Okay," I replied, a smile forming on my lips.
With that we hold hands for a while, not speaking. Simply enjoying each other's presence until we part. Each heading to our cabin. Not knowing what's going to happen next.

A Not so Wicked Paradise
Fan-FictionHello everyone! I read The Maze Runner Trilogy and decided to change the ending, which I disliked. The only changes are that Brenda sacrificed herself instead of Teresa, and Newt is immune. This story revolves around the Immunes' new life in Paradis...
