As I was leaving the Glade, I overheard Newt telling everyone that Thomas and I weren't together, which tore my heart over and over again with every word that left his lips. I choked back a sob as I quickened my pace and made it back to my little home.
I took a sip of water and bit into some bread while thinking about everything. Laying down in my hammock, I began to wonder what my decision would be.
Should I go back to the Glade or not? Well, what's the point if Thomas and I aren't together?
I decided on staying in the Deadheads and hoping that everyone would forget about me all over again. Thomas might decide to date that beautiful comatose girl, which I didn't mind. I wanted him to forget me.
That night, I was wide awake in my hammock, playing around with my knife. I decided to take a stroll around the Deadheads and clear my thoughts.
I slung my quiver over my shoulder and gripped my bow; You never know when something might strike. I trotted around the Deadheads listening to the crunching of leaves under my feet, the soft breeze whistling in my ears, the swaying of branches. Everything was so peaceful.
I took a glance up and admired the glistening stars shining brightly in the sky. I sighed contently as I readjusted my quiver and continued walking. Until I hit one of the Maze walls. The smile on my lips soon faded in a disappointed frown. I'd forgotten that we were all trapped inside of a nightmare.
I reached my hand out and grazed the ivy lining the wall. I shakily ran a hand through my hair and drooped both of my arms down to my sides. The grip on my bow started to loosen while I hung my head low.
We're never gonna get out of here. Those words swirled in my mind and stung my heart over and over. My bow was suddenly snatched out of my hand and I whipped around to see Thomas. I sighed and snatched my bow back from him.
"You scared me," I muttered. "Sorry." Thomas put his hands on his hips.w
"Why are you even here? You're supposed to be asleep," I whispered.
Thomas took a step closer to me, our chests almost touching. He shrugged. "Got bored." I rolled my eyes. "You can become friends with the other Gladers y'know. You don't have to be with me all the time."
"But I like being around you." He looked at me with puppy dog eyes. I sighed. He grinned, leaned in and pecked my forehead.
"Newt can't stop us from being together. There's nothing else I wanna do more than spend my time with you," He whispered to me. "More than you wanna get out of here?" I asked. He nodded.
That lifted my spirits a bit, but the comatose girl popped into my head. Her stunning looks, gorgeous hair. I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck at the thought of Thomas leaving me for her.
Thomas frowned. "Something wrong?"
"Yeah, but it's stupid. You wouldn't care."
"I'd care about anything you'd have to tell me, N/N."
"Fine, shuck-face. I'm being insecure, that's all."
"About what?"
"That new girl... she's so much prettier than I am. I'm scared you'll like her more than me."
"Y/N, you're beautiful. And that girl isn't even awake. How would I like her more?"
"Because she's beautiful."
"Beauty isn't everything, Y/N. It's just a perk."
"Really?"
Thomas nodded, pulling me in for a hug. That night, I was reassured that Thomas would always love me and would never leave my side. No matter what.
