Remembering Us [Maze Runner - Minho]

IV // I remember you..

 A younger version of Jessica and Newt ran around a yard of bright green grass. Newt and Jessica's everlasting smiles cheered up the Mother and Father standing hand in hand on the front porch of a small house.

 After a while, the mother called them inside, as they protested to stay out for longer. Jessica jumped on her brothers back as he walked back into the small house. They laughed and giggled until they reached the small kitchen, where therewas a table set for four to eat a feast.

 "Mum! Can me and Jessi go outside after dinner!" Newt's young british accent made his mother smile from ear to ear. She nodded swiftly before opening her mouth to speak,

 "Of course! just stay in sight, and take care of your sister, ok?"

Newt's smile widdened as he placed his fork down on the nicley foldednapkin beside his plate, "I always do, I always will"

Jessica sat up with a pounding headache, that made her want to pass out once again. She grumbled fron the sunlight beaming through the small room she slept in. Her clothes lay on her dresser, folded and ready to go. Jessica pulls off the white shirt and black shorts she was wearing the day before, and replaces them with a grey shirt and tan shorts. She throws the silver necklace with a heart charm on it that she has worn ever since she had shown up in the box. Jessica didn't have any idea why she wore it, but she decided it was something important to her past self, so she kept it on.

Her bad posture and grumbling made Newt chuckle as he met her walking down the hall of the homestand. Jessica was dead tired from all of the dreams she had had last night. She had another one of Minho, but it was just their cute meetings after testing when they were a few years younger than they were now. Jessica tried so hardto push everything she felt towards Minho, but he is all she could think about latley. She wished to fall asleep in his arms like the memories she had, and Newt began to notice the unusual sleeping patterns she was having. Newt seemed to bejust getting dreams about himself and Jessica, but he told Jessica he saw Minho and her together in one of the later ones.

Newt had an answer to his memories and dreams, and they knew about it, but Jessica was missing a huge part to hers. She would wake up in the middle of the night and wish to be beside him, even though all she knew were old memories, and they had never actually fallen asleep next to eachother. At least not since she ended up in the glade. The praying and hoping that he would remember began to fade away like dust that was thrown at a fan that was on full blast.

"Have you seen Minho today?" Jessica asked her brother as they exited the homestand. Newt thought for a second before answering,

"I saw him this morning... He left looking confused, and flustered... It was very unusual, and he wouldn't answer my question on why he was leaving so earley in the morning,"

Jessica wondered what had gotten into him. He was lost in thought last night when he dropped her off, and it fits the description Newt had just given. She wanted to talk to him, but he was out running, so Jessica would go with Newt to work and sit around daydreaming. Since she was a girl, she got out of not having a job, but it would be sooner or later when Alby would make her pull her weight around here. Jessica had this pulling sensation that directed her to being a runner, and she loved the feeling of wind in her hair, and feeling like she was free when she ran around the Glade. Even though she knew Newt, Minho and Alby would never let her run in the maze, she still kept her hopes high. The other jobs seemed to be boring and dull, and Jessica enjoyed having fun and fooling around in the Glade.

Newt started to work as soon as he reached the gardens, and Jessica felt lonley and bored, so she told Newt she was going to explore the Glade for a while, and she would be back at dinner.

Jessica's footsteps are faint as she wanders through the forest. Sunlight peaks through the trees, making their leaves seem to be a lighter shade of green. The smile on her face widened as she wandered towards a small stream running through the forest. Her reflection in the water made her question her facial expression, but she didn't need her reflection to know that she was beautiful, inside and out.

The sound of leaves crackling made Jessica poke her head up and examin the strange sound. Her feet lead her towards a small clearing in the trees, where she saw the dark haired boy, also known as Minho standing there, his shoulders slouched as he rested his hand on a tree, leaning on it. He seemed to be deep in his own thoughts, maybe even drowning himself over one thought that had been bugging him for the whole morning. Minho was the keeper of the runners, he was as fast as lighting when he ran, he was pretty much the fastest in the whole glade, maybe even the whole human race, concidering they didn't know who and what was left.

A deep sigh left his lips as he lifted his head from staring at the earth floor. Jessica sucked in a breath before she called out his name, careful so only it could be heard by his ears. His head turned to her, his eyes widening before he quickly ran towards her, hugging her tightly. Jessica was taken back at first, but Minho soon losened his grip and pulled back to look her in the eyes.

"I remember you.." He started off quietly, Jessica gave him a confused look before her continued, a little louder this time, "I remember you!" He cheered.

Jessica's face flushed with excitment and happiness, also confusion, but that seemed to be washed away by all of the happy thoughts. Minho placed his forehead against hers, as all of the memories that Jessica had remembered had came back to her. Their breath was heavy, and in sync with eachother, making everything around them fade away and all they could focus on was eachother.

"And guess what.." Minho said as they stood in a comfortable silence until he broke it just then.

"What?" Jessica asked in return in a hushed tone.

"I love you, all over again.." Minho said before he pressed his lips to hers.

 Hellooooo! Sorry for the sappy chapter, this was kinda just a filler, on their romance before and during the maze trials. I promise the next chapter will be more exciting and active, maybe a bit sad... Idk ;). Hope you enjoyed!
