Minho Love Story (Maze Runner fan fic)

Eight

"Oww." I groan as I wake up. There was no light which meant it was night time and there was a poorly lit lamp next to me. I was in a med jack tent. I look in front of me and see Minho, sleeping in a chair but he wasn't the only one. Alby, Newt and Gally joined him. They all looked so peaceful and I was torn between waking them up or staying silent and wait for sleep to welcome me back but I was too slow.

"Katie?" I hear a British voice and I look over to see a very worried Newt looking into my eyes. I give a weak smile and he quietly makes his way to the side of the bed before taking a seat and holding my hand. I give a small squeeze to assure him.

"What happened?" I ask and he smiles.

"You were cut my a griever. Thankfully, you weren't stung though." I give him a small nod before wincing in pain. Man my side hurt. 

"I see we made it back before the doors close." I tell him and he nodded with a smile.

"Yeah obviously." He answers. I look in front of me as I see Minho move and he flutters his eyes open which then widen with happiness as he sees my brown eyes peering into his. He rushes to my side and kisses my head, tears in his eyes. I feel Newt let go of my hand and leave the side of the bed. I look to him.

"Newt." I call and he stops to look at me. "Thank you." I say to him and he nods before walking out of the tent. Now I was just waiting for Alby and Gally to wake up. I couldn't decide if I'd kick them out or not but Minho probably had that decision made up in his mind. 

"Are you OK?" Minho asks me and I nod.

"Yeah, a little sore but OK. Did the new greenie arrive?" I question and Minho nods.

"Yeah. I guess you got out of it after all. Alby was in the middle of the tour when I came through the doors. You should've seen the poor kid. He seemed so concerned but also confused as what had happened." Minho laughs and I laugh with him, wincing at the pain it bought me. Minho frowns. "Sorry." He apologises and I shake my head.

"It's not your fault." I whisper while putting my hand to his cheek, which he leans into. I look in front of me and notice Alby and Gally had left. Now I felt bad. "I want out of here." I announce and Minho laughs at me. 

"You know the rules. Tomorrow."

"But I want my bed. These ones suck." I frown and he, again, laughs at me.

"You'll survive. Now, I'm going to go get you some food. Be back soon." He gives me a kiss on the forehead and walks out. Leaving me alone with my thoughts but not for long, as Alby makes his way back into the medjack tent. 

"Hey Alby." I say, trying to sound upbeat. He gives me a smile. 

"Hey shuckface. How you feeling?" He asks and I give a small shrug. Even that hurt.

"Oh yeah. Sore but I'll be OK." I assure him and he gives a small nod. "How's the new greenie?" I ask him and his eyes widen. "What?" I laugh.

"The party. I forgot." But just as he says that sentence we see orange flames and the sound of the boys having fun.

"I don't think they forgot." I giggle and he smiles at me. "Go on, enjoy the party. I'll be fine." And with that he runs out of the tent and I give a small smile. Man I am glad to have these guys as friends. 

As I lay in the tent I see Newt and Minho standing in the corner looking at me. I get a little scared and hold the thin blanket that is covering me.

"What are you planning on doing to me?" I question and they give a smile.

"You hate missing a good party." They answer and I smile before allowing them to help me out of the bed and walking over to the bonfire and sitting me on the ground against a log. 

As everyone is partying and having a good time I realise just how sad the place can be, mainly due to the lack of music. I then decide to start humming a song I used to love before the trials and still somehow remember. Before I know, I start forming words and have gathered an audience. 

"But nothing ever gets me high like this
I pick my poison and it's you

Nothing could kill me like you do
You're going straight to my head
And I'm heading straight for the edge
I pick my poison and it's you
I pick my poison and it's you."

When the song finishes I finish and everyone is looking at me like I just committed a crime. Then they all start clapping mad I know what they are staring at. My cheeks turn a deep shade of red and I bury my head in my hands; a clear sign of embarrassment.

"Hey that was awesome. Why are you embarrassed?" He asks.

"Because I am shy when it comes to that stuff. You know that." I say and he nods his head.

"I know but, you should really do that more often. You're really good at it." I laugh and shake my head.

"Never in a million years." I say and he laughs as he engulfs me in a hug.
