You were sitting on boulders, overlooking the camp. You cuddled yourself further into the thick jacket you were wearing, enjoying the warmth it radiated.
Over the last couple of months, you'd come to appreciate the calmness. Your life had been so stressful ever since Thomas came up in the box, a few minutes of silence were rare.
You were glad to be here, glad to know that you and your friends were finally safe. "I always knew we'd meet each other one day." Mary spoke up from behind you.
You turned around and smiled at her, gesturing her to sit down with you. "How is Brenda doing?" you asked, concerned for your new friend.
"Thomas' blood won't cure her, but it'll give her a couple of months." you nodded in response, looking down at the floor. "Can I ask you a question?" you asked.
"Of course."
"Did I really go up into the glade because I was in love with someone?" you asked. The thought of you being so lovesick you'd risk your life seemed crazy to you. On the other hand, you would do the same thing for Newt now.
"I never knew for sure, it's what Thomas told me. He said you fell in love with a blonde boy who got sent up. It pained you to see him that way, so you begged to be sent up."
"Was that boy Newt?" you wanted to know. "I guess so, yes. When you two look at each other, it's like you're the only people on the planet. That's something special."
"Thank you." you smiled at her. She smiled back at you before standing up and walking away. Soon, Newt, Minho and Fry joined you. Upon seeing all of them, you stood up and gave each of them a hug, kissing Newt in the process. You sat down next to him, your head placed on his shoulder.
He interlaced his gloved fingers with yours, giving your hand a firm squeeze. After a while of comfortable silence, Thomas joined you. He ruffled your hair and smiled at you before sitting down.
"I wish Alby could have seen all this." Newt sighed, looking over the camp. "And Winston." Fry spoke, looking down sadly. "And Chuck." Thomas mumbled.
"He'd be proud of you, you know, Tommy." Newt said. "All of them would." you smiled at your brother, making him nod in response. Fry looked over towards Aris.
"Hey, Aris!" he called out to the boy, who waved at him. "Hey, guys!" he exclaimed. "I kinda like that kid." Fry admitted. "Yeah, I still don't trust him, though." Minho chuckled, making all of you laugh.
"Hey, where's Teresa?" Thomas asked, now noticing she wasn't here. "She went up there." Newt explained, pointing towards a cliff. "I'm gonna go check up on her."
It was the last moments of piece you would have in a long time.
