Go check out the song Fiction by Khloe Rose (at the top) its my literal life. So good!
Thomas POV:
That night I decided to keep what I heard to myself and talk about it in the morning when Teresa isn't here. She can't know that I know because she might not do the plan WICKED wants her to do.
I get into my bunk with Teresa under me. She got realeased today because of the whole incident Jorge thought she was safer with us. And she is. I try to close my eyes and sleep but everything replays in my mind. I forgot that I had a recorder from the meeting with Jorge. Jorge wanted me to use it in case I needed to remember something. I used it to record the whole conversation. Obviously I can't play it right now but I remember the conversation even without the recorder word for word.
" Teresa, Teresa, Teresa. You know I didn't think you guys were that stupid to come to a place with lots of people and not think that one was working for WICKED. Now since you got your memories back I guess that you remember the plan we or should I say Thomas made?" The man says.
" You know if we were a bunch of stupid kids than how did we escape a top security building and make them feel threatened that they had to place a guard here?" Teresa asks.
" Now you see, everything is being recorded all through this wallow talkie so if you don't agree I can take you to WICKED right now." He pauses then continues, " Since Thomas made this plan and you're going along with it right now you can either not do the plan which will end with you and your friends dead and is taking Thomas or you can go along as normal and help children in need. As you know WICKED is good."
" You must think that WICKED is so smart, but I don't because didn't the plan say I would get some of my memories back. Yet the doctors messed up and I remember everything. Like how Janson is only at WICKED because he has the flare and wants the cure for himself, or that WICKED is good is actually WICKED is good at controlling minds and people, and how about the fact that Janson and Ava Paige are actually married and I'm their daughter. So maybe you need to really check your equipment." Teresa says.
" Well we definitely will, anyways you'll stick to the plan, but it's been changed. So instead of you leading Thomas to a green, glass box you will actually call Janson on this walkie (sorry last chapter it probably said wallow cause of autocorrect) talkie and send him your location whenever you find the Right Arm. I recon you still know how to do that." He pauses again and Teresa just nods, " Good so that is settled and we want you to make Thomas feel so betrayed that he hates you and we will try to take one of the subjects..."
" Don't you call them subjects!" Teresa shouts and cuts him off, " I'm pretty smart I can figure out the rest of the plan and go before someone catches you." Teresa says.
One thing that stands out to me is her saying that she's Ava Paige's daughter. How could a mother lie to her own child and put her through the suffering she's been through. I look down at her bunk and she's turned facing the wall hopefully sleeping, I just wish that I remember as much as she did so that we could both get through this. And my plan means her going away for who knows how long. Right now I know trying to sleep is pointless so instead I'll just lie awake staring at the ceiling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometime in the night I actually fall asleep and wake up in the early, early morning. Newt is awake staring at the bottom of Minho's bunk.
" Hey Tommy?" Newt whispers
" Yeah?" I respond back.
" Is Teresa okay? She looks down and not herself."
"Maybe she's just drained because of all the medicine and pain?" I lie to him.
" Yeah probably. But I don't think that's it. It's like something is bothering her. She's acting depressed." Newt keep pushing.
" Aren't we all. It's taken a toll on me, I mean we've been through hell and back and now we don't even know what's going to happen to us. Heck maybe escaping wasn't worth it." I say. I'm surprised I did though because that's what I've been thinking about this whole time.
" It was worth it. All of it. Even though we left some behind, they would be proud of us today and how far we've gotten." Teresa says.
I look down at her bunk and she's looking up at me. I just raise my eyebrows hoping she gets my question.
" Yes I've been listening the whole time." Then I forget that I probably talked to her in her head because I was thinking it. I just chuckle to myself.
" Okay well I'm going to go back to bed so have fun lovebirds." Newt says while turning away.
" Can you come down." Teresa asks.
" Of course I can." I respond.
I go down the latter and sit on her bed. She rolls her eyes, sits up and puts her hand on my chest pressing me back against the bed. I get under the covers and lay down. She lays down on top of my chest and grabs my hand, intertwining our fingers. I rest my head on top of hers and right now it feels like I could sleep for a million hours. I listen to her breathing as she plays with our fingers.
" Teresa, just know that I trust you." I say.
" I know Tom and know that I trust you." She says back.
With that we both fall asleep.

Teresa POV:
I've been awake all night thinking about the plan. I fell asleep with Thomas but only go 30 minutes. I can't betray Thomas and the others, they would never trust me again. But if i don't do the plan then there will be hell to pay. Thomas stirs under me and wakes up. I move off of him and lay down next to him. He turns his body and faces me. He eyes are droopy and his hair is messy.
" How did you sleep?" I ask him quietly since the others are sleeping.
" Honestly that was probably the best I've had. And you?"
" I only slept for like 30 minutes. But those minutes were the best." I decided that I'm not going to lie to him so maybe he'll trust me more. All he does is he puts his arms around me.
" Try to get some sleep." He tells me. I nod and lay my head on his chest, I start to drift off but I feel him kiss my head before I do.
Hope you liked that chapter it was a filler but gave some important information. Anyway if I have any typos it's probably because I just got acrylic nails and it's hard to type. Anyway hope you have a good day and check out the song at the top!
