Maze Runner One Shots (Requests Open)

Forgotten (Harriet)

The Safe Haven is paradise. After all, we did everything to make it that way. We fought tooth and nail to get here, and we deserved to finally be safe and sound with our friends. I could finally be with the girl I love.

Until I couldn't. I had gone through document after document. The anger in the pit of my stomach couldn't be described with words that even exist. For hours I had scanned every word as if it could change what I was seeing. Every time it was the same thing. Aris, Sonya, and I weren't mentioned once. Our rescue truly was a coincidence.

"Hey Y/N,"Harriet, the last person I wanted to even lay eyes on, greeted. My hands started shaking as I clutched the papers.

"What do you have there?"She asked, leaning over my shoulder. I shoved them into her hands. She was caught off guard until she realized what she was holding.

"Why don't you tell me?"I spat. She couldn't even look me in the face as she set the papers to the side.

"Well? What are they?"I asked in a lower and colder voice.

"I can explain,"She stated.

"Oh. This should be good,"I scoffed.

"We always planned to save all of you. We weren't going to leave you behind. We just-"
"When were you going to save us? When we were stuck in the city? When we were being tortured day after day? When we were covered in blood? When we were nothing more but bodies in a room? Why don't you enlighten me on when you were coming for us?"I interrupted.

"It was all one plan, and it worked. You're all here,"She defended.

"By coincidence Harriet. Drop the act. I know who your priorities lie with, and it's not the friends who have been there with you for years. It's not your girlfriend who did nothing but love you,"I reminded her. She still didn't look at me, and that was probably for the best. I don't know if I could handle seeing guilt after knowing what I do.

"We risked our necks for those strangers. They could have ruined everything for Aris and I, but we threw ourselves head first into danger to help. Do you know the things we did for them? We're the only reason they're even alive. Did they tell you that?"

"Y/N-"
"No. I'm not done. I have done nothing but love me, and this is how you repay me? Repay us all? I mean Sonya was the one helping clean us up, and she had just gotten out too. She shouldn't have been doing that,"I pointed out.

"Y/N, I promise we were going to get you all out,"She repeated.

"Who's name were you all yelling when you banged on the train?"I asked as more pieces of this messed up puzzle fell into place. I just want it to be a few hours ago when I didn't know this.

"That's not-"
"Who's name were you yelling?"

"We were yelling for Minho because we thought you would all be on the same cart,"She tried to reason. The more she explained the more my rage grew.

"You just assumed? Or maybe we mean nothing to any of you,"I scowled. She snapped her head up to look at me. The tears in her eyes only made this worse.

"Do you want to know how I'm sure we were all a second thought?"I asked. She didn't say anything as she wiped the tears that were finally spilling.

"Ask me how!"I demanded.

"How?"She whispered.

"Because you weren't going to go back for one man so you weren't going back for three. In fact, you weren't even someone who left,"I reminded her.

"I would have for you,"She attempted to assure me. I couldn't stand being around her any longer. Without a word I stormed out of the house to confront the other jerks around here.

"Y/N, wait,"She called, going after me. I didn't bother to answer as I scanned the Safe Haven for them. After a moment my eyes landed on Thomas who had the nerve to be talking with Sonya and Aris.

"Thomas!"I yelled, attracting stares that I ignored. Harriet was still desperately trying to get me to stop.

"Did you think nobody would find out? Do you think we're stupid? Huh?"I asked, shoving him back. He tripped over his feet.

"You are such a fake friend! Do you understand that?! You're a no good, two faced, disgusting, liar!"I yelled. The confusion in his eyes was replaced was fear. I'm normally calm and level headed, but I couldn't be that right now. Everything I thought about them is a lie.

"Y/N, what's happening?"Sonya asked, knowing there was a reason for this anger.

"Here. See for yourself. In fact, here you go Aris. You can have one too,"I snapped, handing them each a paper. They took a look before their expressions changed to what I had first been feeling. Complete devastation and heartbreak at the realization that we were nothing to anyone.

"There has to be more. This can't be it,"Sonya denied.

"I looked through everything. I tore the room apart. This is all there is,"I explained.

"Come on Y/N. We risked our lives for them. They wouldn't leave us. This has to be wrong,"Aris frantically tried to convince himself.

"But they would. Isn't that right Thomas?"I asked, glaring at him. Before he could ask what was happening I threw the rest of the documents at him.

"Operation Minho. Operation save Minho. Step one of saving Minho. Minho, Minho, Minho. Where are we in this? Were you all just going to let us die? Huh?!"I interegated.

"It's not like that,"He tried to assure us.

"Save it. Harriet already said everything I need to know,"I snapped. My friends turned to look at her. All she could do was stare back.

"Do you remember your response when Aris said it took you guys long enough to rescue us? You said it was good to us too. Obviously, you didn't care though."

"Listen to-"
"No! Aris ran at a crank with nothing but a bat to help you guys! I got hit by lightning so Minho wouldn't! You would all be worse than dead without us, and this is how you show you appreciate it?!"I screamed. The entire Safe Haven was dead silent as people tried to put together what was happening. All the attention was on us now. As humiliating as it may seem it also goes towards the people that deserve it.

"I don't care about you though. I care about the fact that the girl I counted on, the girl I loved, the girl I planned an entire future with, decided we don't mean anything. If I don't mean anything to you Harriet then you can have this. I don't want anything to do with it ever again,"I said as I took the ring out of my pocket and threw it at her feet. She picked it up and just looked back at me with pleading eyes.

"I don't want to marry someone who picks strangers over the people who have supported her. I don't even want to date someone like that. We're over Harriet. I'm done,"I promised, holding back angry tears as I walked away.

Even though so many people were involved they don't truly matter. At least I discovered things before I proposed.

If I could go back before I dropped the ring under that box I would though. Seeing two words was all it took to ruin everything, and there's no getting it back.
