Reys POV
I woke up from what I thought was a nightmare, but it was seemed way to real to be just a nightmare. Before I knew what was happening i was laying on the ground on the ground and the last thing I heard before everything went black was Newt saying "REY, WHATS HAPPENING? REY....REY. MINHO GET IN HERE, SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH REY!........"

Newts POV
I stayed glued by her side, refusing to move even an inch, minutes slowly turned to hours, just hoping - her eyes would flutter open or for her to squeeze my hand but nothing. Eventually those hours turned to days, four days to be exact. The world around me slowly fading away. Somewhere anger began to cripple in. "Wake up, Rey!" I wanted to yell at her "Damn it, Rey, wake up!" i wanted to scream but against every fiber of my being, I didn't. I stayed silently beside her. Trying to keep it together, trying to keep up the illusion that I was fine. Feeling so powerless next to her unconscious body, a weight of about 1000 bricks falling on my shoulders. Every Minute that passed, the helplessness and the anger grew, feeding of me like vultures feeding of a dead corpse. Inevitably, in my mind there was no more hope for her, no hope of her waking up.  

"Okay Newt, you need to eat" Minho said concerned as he handed Newt a plate of Frypans stew "No Minho, I'm not eating until she wakes up" I replied "Newt its been four days, she will kill you if she finds out you haven't eaten the whole time she's been unconscious." Minho told me sternly. "Fine, give it here and you go and get Ben and go into that maze." Newt responded angrily.

"Are you okay?" Minho asked me again concernedly, with tears in my eyes I responded  "No Minho I'm not okay, my girlfriend has been shucking unconscious for, four days, FOUR FUCKING DAYS NOW, and I don't know how to function without her, so please just leave me the fuck alone." I screamed at Minho before putting my head on Rey's shoulder and falling asleep. 

The Next Day
I woke up in tears, before everyone was awake, the maze doors weren't open yet but they were due to open any minute. So I got up and ran out to the doors, waiting for them to open and as soon as they did I ran in. I ran until I found the tallest wall in the maze and I climbed up the ivy till I reached the top of the wall and stood up there for about twenty-five minutes trying to psych myself of what I was about to do, but if Rey is never going to wake up than I don't wanna live in a world without her in it. I was going to jump, but just as I was about to jump a freaking beetle blade wouldn't stop coming close to my face so matter how many times I shooed it away from me, it kept coming back, so I decided to look directly into the camera in hope someone was listening and shouted at it."

"You bastards can fly that thing close to my face all you shucking want but if she's not waking up than I'm not living without her" I screamed at the camera, and with that i closed my eyes and jumped. Before I blacked out the last thing I heard was three really loud snaps.

Minhos POV
I ran into the maze at my normal time and after running for a while I started hearing groans of pain and distress. When I rounded the corner of where the grunts were coming from I saw Newt hanging by his legs on the wall, his left leg deformed, and he was tangled in the ivy. I quickly managed to get him down and ran him straight back to the glade to find Clint and Jeff, who were thankfully already in the med-hut checking up on Rey when i burst threw the doors. "Oh Jesus Christ Minho what happened to him?" Clint asked staring at the limp boy in my arms. "Uh um, I think he jumped, I found him entangled in the vines on a maze wall. I think he's broken his leg, it looks bad." I said while looking at the passed out Newt really worried. "Okay Minho, put him down there next to Rey. It will be easier on him and more comfortable that when he wakes up he's next to someone he trusts and loves." Jeff quickly explained. "Okay!" I immediately did what Jeff ordered me too. 

"Clint can you go get Alby, we need to tell him" I quickly asked the blonde medjack. "Yeah, sure" the keeper of the medjacks answered before running away to find the leader. "Jeff what do we do, Rey needs to wake up. I need my sister and Newt needs his girlfriend. 

Few Weeks Later 
Newt woke up about a week ago and is straight back to sitting with Rey and occasionally laying next to her. He is extremely mad at himself for jumping in the first place but he's now also beating himself up over the fact he's now left himself with a permanent limp to his left leg. Rey hasn't woken up yet but Jeff is saying it should be any day now. 

Reys POV
My eyes flutter open and I look at Newt and Minho who were asleep on either side of my bed. I feel Newts hand in mine so I take that opportunity to squeeze his hand tight and as I sit up I threw one of my pillows at Minho who woke up almost instantly. "Hey, little bro" I manage to squeak out weakly. "Love your awake!" My boyfriend asked. "Yeah, how long was I out?" I asked Newt while looking at my brother. Newt and Minho both exchanged a look as to say do we tell her. "Jesus guys just tell me." I said scared. "Three weeks" the boys spoke in unison. "Three weeks?, I was out for three weeks. What the fuckity shuck happened to me?" I asked while my eyes slowly got drawn to Newties leg. "You had a memory and passed ou-" Newt started speaking before I cut him off "Baby... Newtie? what the shuck did you do to your leg? and yes you have to tell me otherwise I don't tell or show either of you anything from my memory and believe me you'll want to know." Rey warned. "Okay, well promise not to get to mad at me Love." He started "Five days in to you being unconscious I got really low and was under the impression that in my mind you weren't waking up and I didn't want to live in a world without you in it. So one morning I ran into the maze and found the tallest wall I could and I jumped off it." Newt paused and looked at me which by now I already had tears streaming down my face as i was leaning on Min's shoulder. "But to my luck of course my legs got all tangled up in the  ivy on the way down and I snapped my leg in three pieces. I don't know how long I was suspended in the  air entangled in the ivy before Minho found me but I woke up in here a week ago and I've left myself with this ugly shucking limp." Newt finished explaining in tears. "What happened in your memory?" MinMin asked me. 

"Well for starters, Newt and I were dating before we all got sent up here, and you both had cute nicknames for me. Newtie you always called me Reri and  you Min called me Ree, I still called you both Newtie and Min and MinMin occasionally." 

"What else happened Ree?" Minho asked using the familiar nickname. "This guy called Janson, who we called Rat-Man always separated Min and I for experiments, while they made him listen to my screams and then i discovered after one of the sessions as they liked to call it, I had this."

I took off my top to reveal the massive scar that wrapped around from my abdomen to the middle of my spine.

After Rey showed Minho and Newt her scar the three of them all broke down crying until Rey spoke up. "The scar is ugly and horrible and I hate it." "First of all the scar is not ugly or horrible, it's beautiful and secondly it means that you survived and that your strong." Minho spoke his words of wisdom which strangely gave Rey a sense of Deja Vu. The teenagers went to bed. Minho crashed on a mattress in Newts hut so he could keep and eye on his sister and his best friend.
