The Maze Of Love - Maze Runners - Thomas x Y/n

Glimmer of Hope

Chapter 4: A Glimmer of Hope

Y/n spent the next few days in a state of emotional turmoil. Thomas's words echoed in her mind, but she couldn't shake off the hurt and jealousy that had consumed her. She distanced herself from Thomas, avoiding any interactions that could potentially deepen her feelings for him.

During this time, Y/n threw herself into her duties in the Glade, finding solace in the familiar tasks that kept her occupied. She focused on maintaining the supplies, helping in the gardens, and assisting in any way she could to distract herself from the complicated mess of emotions.

One evening, as Y/n was tending to the crops, she heard someone approach from behind. She turned around to find Minho standing there, a concerned expression etched on his face.

"Hey," he said softly, "I noticed you've been keeping your distance from Thomas lately. Is everything okay?"

Y/n sighed and looked down at the soil beneath her feet. "I don't know, Minho. It's just... It's hard to be around him when he's so focused on Teresa. I can't help but feel like I'm being pushed aside."

Minho nodded, understanding her pain. "I get it, Y/n. It's tough to see someone you care about paying attention to someone else. But you have to remember that Thomas cares about you too. Maybe he's just trying to figure things out."

Y/n looked up at Minho, searching for some reassurance. "But what if he chooses her? What if I'm not enough?"

Minho's eyes softened as he placed a hand on Y/n's shoulder. "You are more than enough, Y/n. You're strong, brave, and one of the most important people in this Glade. Don't ever doubt your worth."

His words resonated with Y/n, offering a glimmer of hope amidst her turmoil. She realized that she couldn't let her insecurities consume her, nor could she allow them to destroy the relationships she had built with the others in the Glade.

Taking a deep breath, Y/n nodded and mustered a small smile. "Thank you, Minho. I needed to hear that."

He squeezed her shoulder gently. "Anytime, Y/n. Remember, we're all here for you."

With newfound determination, Y/n decided it was time to confront her feelings and have an open conversation with Thomas. She couldn't let her fear hold her back any longer. That night, as the Gladers gathered around the campfire, Y/n sought out Thomas, finding him sitting alone, lost in thought.
