The First Person in the Maze

3. Please Be Okay

Y/n POV
After Thomas and I had our conversation, we figured it would be best if we didn't tell the others quite yet as Thomas just found out about his name. But, after the Ben incident and how I ran up to Thomas to hug him after the others took control of the situation, we had no choice. We had to tell them because they got suspicious of how we managed to become so close in just the span of one day.

"So, you two seriously are.." Gally starts, shocked with what we just told them.

"Yep! Brother and sister," I confirmed.

"Well this just got more interesting, didn't it?" Minho remarks. "On this note, I think it's time Alby and I head out into the maze before anything else pops up."

And that's exactly what he and Alby did as they made their way through the doors that led to the maze while the others were still processing and completely baffled about the new information being thrown at them. It wasn't until some time later that it finally seemed to click-in that this was true.

"Then I guess we have our first ever sibling duo in the glade now," Gally concludes.

"I guess so," Thomas replies with.

Later that day, as the rain began to clear up from earlier on, we went out to the entrance of the maze to wait for Minho and Alby. From the looks of how things were going, it wasn't looking well for them as the doors were soon going to shut.

"Come on, guys, can't we send someone after them?" Tommy asks, clearly worried and impatient as it was taking this long for them to get back.

"It's against the rules," Gally stated. "Either they make it or they don't."

"We can't risk losing anyone else," Newt remarked.

Just then, the doors started to shut.

"No," I muttered under my breath as I realized this may be the last time I see my best friend.

All of a sudden, Tommy pointed in the distance.

"There!" he exclaimed.

I looked over in that direction and saw Minho. But, where was...

"Wait a minute, something's wrong," Newt notices. Sure enough, I spotted Alby as he was being dragged by Minho.

What the hell happened in there?

Shortly afterwards, we all started to shout for Minho as encouragement, but it was not looking good. I could tell from here how tired he was looking from dragging Alby's body.

"He's not gonna make it," I announced.

Then, I looked over at Tommy and saw this look of determination in his face. He was going to go after him.

"Tommy, no." He looks over at me with this sad look in his eyes. "I can't lose you again."

"I'm sorry," he said as he took off and ran into the maze.

"NOO!" I screamed.

Without thinking, I started to run after him, but I didn't get very far. As I looked behind me, I saw Newt had grabbed my wrist to hold me back from going any further, shaking his head no. I looked back towards the maze and saw the doors were shut, so I couldn't do anything but comply.

Afterwards, I couldn't stop worrying about Tommy. I mean, for all I know, he could be dead by now. Dead. I literally just lost him when I just got him back in my life. Why though? Why would this be happening to me? Why is ANY of this happening? It just doesn't make any...

"Would you please stop pacing," Gally said, clearly annoyed.

I glared at him.

"That slinthead did this to himself so, sorry to break it to you, but he's gone," he continued on saying.

I just rolled my eyes and walked away.

As I was making my way to the tree house, I heard someone call out my name. It was Newt. I sighed and turned around, seeing him make his way over to me.

"Hey," he said when he reached me.

"Hey," I replied with.
"Do you wanna talk about it?"

I chuckled bitterly. "What is there to talk about, Newt? My fucking brother just went into the maze and I can't help but wonder if he's dead or not! I just got him back and now there's a chance of him being dead?! After two fucking days?!"

He just stood there and listened. So, I continued.

"Two days, Newt! TWO! I got my brother back for two days and now he's gone again! Why, just why is this happening to me?! Does the universe hate me that much or something because I swear I..."

I am interrupted by Newt's lips on mine.

Wait he's.. HE'S KISSING ME!

"What- what was that for?" I question when he pulls away.

"To calm you down," he said, but it sounded more as a question than a statement.

There was this unsettling silence between us.

"I'm just- I'm just gonna go," Newt says after awhile.

As he was about to walk away, I decided to take a big risk. "N-no! Wait!"

He turns back around and that's when I did it. I kissed him. It caught him off guard a bit, but he ended up kissing back as he cupped his hands around my cheeks.

We pulled away after awhile and just stared into each other's eyes, enjoying each other's presence in this intimate moment.

"He'll be okay, alright?" Newt reassures.

I could only hope this was true.

The next morning, we all decided to wait by the maze doors in hopes that Tommy and Minho actually managed to survive the night. It was a long shot, but there was no way I was going to accept the fact I lost my brother for good this time. So, we all waited..

And waited..
And waited.

Nothing.

Newt places his hand on top of my shoulder. "I'm sorry, love," he softly said as he began walking away with the others.

Letting out a shaky breath, I slowly walked away as well.

However, I did not get very far as one of the gladers spoke up.

"No way," he said. I turned my head around to what he was looking at.

"Yeahhhh!" Chuck exclaimed.

Holy shit. It was Tommy, Minho, and Alby. They made it. They're alive!

We all scurried over to help them with Alby and, the second I got a chance to, I hugged Tommy.

"I'm okay. I'm okay," he murmured against my ear.

"Did you see a griever?" I asked as I pulled away from the hug.

"Yeah, I saw one," he responded with.

Then, Minho chimes in. "He didn't just see it," he pauses to catch his breath, "he killed it."
