"Come on we know her! She puts up a tough act when she is scared and freaking out inside. She's not going to tell anyone how she feels about what's happening to her...

Is this what it felt like? The agonising pain of waiting? Might they not make it out? Lucy's thoughts have been running on repeat for the past hours. Since they've been in the maze Lucy has been sitting at her sport on the ground next to the water.
There was no way that the girl would stay with everyone else in the world. Two people who helped her the most adjusting to the Glade were stuck in the maze. She wondered if being stuck in there was the same for them as it was for her.
She hoped not. Having at least three Grievers running at her at once was not the best experience. It was like the world was against her when she was in there and all she could hope for was that it wasn't like that for them.
She hadn't known the first time had moved until she heard the Maze doors open. Though it was like she didn't care. She didn't want to be waiting at the doors like the rest of the boys so instead, she went to her hut.
She sat on the bed in the corner of her room as she crossed her legs to bring the box that came up with her to also sit on the bed in front of her. She carefully opened the box and poured everything out onto the bed. There was a hairbrush, toothbrush, a small container full of pills, a bar of soap, a mirror and clothes. When she took all the stuff out of the box finally she finally found a small box she's never seen before.
It was a smooth, black, square box. Lucy had never seen it before so she carefully opened it to see what was hidden in such a beautiful box. She slowly opened the box releasing a silver locket. It was beautiful and anyone would see this like that and only that.
She opened the locket to see two people, one person on each side. On the left side was a photo of a beautiful redheaded woman many, many years older than Lucy, she was smiling into the camera that was taking the photo and was clearly happy. The other was of a blonde boy looking around the same age as Lucy. The boy felt so familiar to her but the girl but she couldn't put her finger on who he was.
"Lucy! Lucy!" The girl heard Chuck's voice breaking the girl out of her thoughts as he came running into her room. The redhead turned around stuffing the necklace in her pocket to meet the excited young boy who wanted to know what was going on. "They're back."
That was all she needed to hear for her to bolt out of the hut and run to the doors where Minho and Thomas stood as they all leaned over Alby. Everyone's head turned to the girl who was running straight for her best friend.
Minho moved out of the way so that he could catch the girl that threw herself at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around her waist. "I thought I lost you." She mumbled into the crotch of his neck. Thomas watched them from afar and felt a ping in his chest like he was jealous and longed for the redhead to hug him instead of Minho.
