Confession

As I wipe away the remaining blood that is now dried on Tommy's hand, he is still admiring me with those sad, chocolate brown eyes that made me fall madly in love with him the second I saw his gorgeous face. His cheek bones look like they end of a blade that could cut you in two like he did my heart.

He is wearing a baby blue shirt, similar to the one he wore in the glade which I loved. I pull up his sleeve revealing his pale skin. I gently wipe away the blood from his soft hands, careful on his delicate skin. 'Thanks Newt', he mumbles sending shivers down my spine. I smile softly at him.

'Tommy', I say. He nods his head lightly making his hair fall on his forehead. 'You can't protect her forever Thomas you know that', I say under my breath slightly scared how he will react. His face drops and his eyes go dull. I scoot back. He realizes that he is scaring me and to my surprise he reaches out and puts his hand over mine. He rubs the back on my hand with his thumb, his skin against mine. 'I know love,' I know', he says. LOVE?! Did he just call me love? Surely he didn't mean to? Does he think I'm her?

My face drops and I chuckle nervously. 'Love?', I say jokingly but desperate for an answer. He looks worried 'Shit sorry do you not like it', he replies with looking down fiddling with his fingers. 'No!'. I say a bit to loud. 'I love it', I say with a slight laugh. Then he says ' Good because I love you'.

Without any warning he pulls me closer putting his warm hand on my cheeks. He kisses me passionately. His soft pink lips that I've been dying to taste for as long as I can remember. His lips rub against mine causing butterflies to fly around my stomach. I ease into the kiss putting my hands around his neck I kiss back with so much love, making sure no one will ruin this perfect moment I have waited a lifetime for.

He pulls away making sure his lips linger. He blushes and it warms my heart. In that moment I realise he always blushes around me and I've just been so tangled up in my feelings for him I haven't even considered how he feels. I was convinced he just saw me as a best friend. I forget all my worries and I just look at him. The most beautiful boy I have ever seen.

'I love you, I have loved you since before the maze'. He says. 'How do you know that we don't have our memories'. I say. They came back. My memories, they are back.

A/N Ahhh I loved writing this chapter it's adorable. This one is longer than the others but it's okay because they are so cute.

Btw sorry for being inactive I'm busy with school but I only have 3 days left so I'll have lots of time to write. Also somebody let me know if this is dragging too much or do you like it being slow and tense because I like writing this way. Anyway enjoy :))
