The Death Cure book ending

Chapter 8

Like I said a few minutes. Enjoy!  Also I will be writing in first person because for me it's really hard to write in third person.

Teresa:

I half walk and half limp outside my tent and look at the sunset on the ocean. A sense of peace washes over me that I thought I would never have. My leg still hurts a lot but has dulled with the pain killers that Jorge gave me. I start walking toward the ocean and when I get there I sit down on the sand and just watch the waves come crashing down.

" Peaceful isn't it?" Minho asks from behind me. I turn to look at him and say,

" Yeah it's really a stress reliever."

He sits down next to me and we watch the ocean and the waves. Minho leaves when the sun goes down but I stay a little longer. I don't want to be around other people right now. I lay down and look at the sky, right now it has a little shade of pink but it's turning into a dark blue. I must've fallen asleep because I wake up to Thomas shaking my shoulder. It's dark outside so I'm guessing it's midnight. I sit up and look at him. I have always loved his brown eyes and brown hair. He was always so handsome.

" What?" He asks.

" Nothing." I respond. He sits next to me puts his hand next to mine. We sit there for a long time just looking at at ocean. I stand up and reach my hand out for him.

" Come on." I say.

" Where are we going." He asks.

" Just come on." I tell him.

He grabs my hand and stands up. I start going towards the ocean. He seems to catch on because he running and starts pulling on me.

" You know I still have a broken leg." I tell him.

He does something unexpected and picks me up over his shoulder. I scream but cover my mouth remembering that it's late. He full on runs and when we get knee level into the ocean he drops me. I get up all soaked and splash him. I then make him trip so he's wet too. We just keep splashing each other till we're too cold and get out. We walk back to our tents. But he stops at mines and says,

" You know since we're both so cold we can warm one another up by sleeping next to each other."

I roll my eyes but agree, " Fine."

After I wring my hair out I lay down. Thomas does the same but situates himself so he's right up next to me. He puts his arms around me and pulls me close. I put my hands on his chest and my face on the front of his shoulder. I can hear his steady breaths and know he's asleep. I then do the same.

Thomas:

Next Morning

I wake up to Thomas stirring in his sleep. I try to get out of his arms. I don't do this successfully because he just holds on tighter and I look down and see him smile.

" You're such a jerk." I tell him while smiling.

He opens his eyes and says,

" Well I thought I was a gentleman, holding tight onto you."

"How exactly would you be a gentleman?" I ask him.

" Well I was keeping you warm with my arms." He answers.

" You wouldn't me such a gentleman if I was too hot." I tell him.

" Then it's the thought that counts." He says.

I just laugh and sit up, sunlight shines in my face. It's on these days that feels like the whole world can just fall away. I feel a hand on my back and Thomas is right by my side. I lean into him and look outside.

" Sometimes it's hard to believe that it's all over." I say to him.

" But it is, all of it. You just have to look past the bad things that happened and look at the present." He replies.

" Yeah I guess." I say.

" Tom?" I ask him

" What?" He responds 

" Why did you forgive me so fast?" I question.

I've always wondered why he did but I never got an answer

" I just realized that it was silly for me to be mad at you. You have risked your life for me multiple times and I now know that only a true friend would do that. Plus after Newt died I also realized that we never know how much time we have left, and I rather spend good times with you instead of being mad at you for trying to save me." Thomas responds

" You know Tom, I agree, I'm trying to regain your trust in any way. I want us to become friends like we were before in WICKED. Even if you don't remember it, I do." I say.

" I remember some. I still get memories during dreams so they help. I want the same you want Teresa. Thank you for always being by my side." He replies.

I stand up and hold a hand out to him,

" C'mon lets go get breakfast." I suggest.

He nods then grabs my hand but I let go while he stands up. He falls back down and gives me a dirty look and I just laugh and run away.

" Oh there's no way you're getting away with that." He yells.

I run and limp toward that dining hall. Since Thomas is way behind I grab a plate, get some food, and sit down next to Minho.

Thomas walks in gets some food and sits down next to me.

" But I did get away with it." I whisper in his ear.

" You know there is always after breakfast to get payback." He whispers back.

I just laugh and look at him, he looks back and smiles then out of nowhere tickles me on my side. I burst out in small laughs but catch his hands and look at him trying not to smile or laugh. Obviously I fail and then just laugh again. A slap on the table gets my attention and I see Brenda as red as a tomato looking at me and Thomas with a mad look.

" Obviously there is something going on between you two so spit it out." She says.

Thomas answers,

" Nothings happening between us, Brenda just calm down and" Brenda cuts him off and yells,

" You kiss me and then you act like it never happened and go off with her. DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!"

Thomas seems to be getting a temper and stands up and says in a quiet but deadly voice,

" You kissed me Brenda so don't you go around saying I kissed you, also if I recall we were drunk and after I told you that you weren't her. So sorry not sorry."

" It's always about Teresa isn't it! She should've died under that rock!" Brenda yells then storms off. Thomas is about to go after her but I stand up and grab his hand.

" Don't. Tom just don't." I say to him.

He lets go of my hand and yells,

" She just can't talk like that about you just because I'm not with her all the time and I'm with you!"

He too storms off. I sit back down and just eat.

Well another chapter done! Anyway in the next chapter there will be A LOT of Thomesa. So sit back and enjoy the flight.
