Just breath. In and out, fill your lungs with oxygen and then release the bad feelings from within.
I can't cry nor can I yell.
What can I do?
Newt left five minutes ago, yet I couldn't bring my self to walk away from this specific part of the glade. People walked by me, staring and whispering at the foolish girl standing in the middle of the glade.
Did I do the right thing? At least I thought I did. But If I did then why does my heart painfully ache? Why is it telling me I'm wrong. How can my mind and heart be so different. Torture me like this.
I hate Newt.
I hate him because I can't let him go.
I should be mad and frustrated for what they did but instead i'm left feeling like shit. Like I hurt them.
"What are you doing?"
I turned around catching sight of the maze in the distance, which was above Chucks blonde locks. His eyebrows knitted and forehead lines wrinkled.
My feet began moving past Chuck like they had a mind of their own. I felt a rush of energy encouraging me to go to the maze.
"Hey! Where ya going?"
I ignored Chuck; and continued to walk towards the maze.
I stopped right in front of the open doors, looking directly straight a head and into the maze. "What do you want from me?" I asked no one in particular.
"What do I do?"
Run.
"From who?" I responded back to the voice.
From them.
Them?
They lied to you. Why are you hesitant?
"I-"
Foot steps crept from behind me. Then shuffling against the dirt. "You're worrying Chuck." Minho said.
I looked over my shoulder not expecting Minho. I thought it had been Chuck. He must've told Minho when he saw me earlier.
"What happened?" He asked and walked over to stand on my side. I stared back at the maze. "Chucks always worried." I stated.
"I'm not talking about that shank." I looked at Minho confused, "I'm talking about Newt. He looked ill- I've never seen him like that before," Minho bit his bottom lip, anxiously.
I let the wind pass for a moment of silence. To carefully organize and collect my thoughts.
But Minho couldn't wait another minute without talking.
"You're different. Ever since you got back from the maze something's been off," He admitted, "The maze changes people, I know that-But how much can it change a person?" Minho waited for my response.
I felt his eyes dig deep into my skin. What was she thinking? What was going on inside of her head? Is that what he was thinking?
Be careful. Liars love to lie.
I couldn't ignore the words appearing in my head. They never disappear after being said. Are they warning me or is this just a game?
I turned to face Minho. "What if it's not the maze that is changing a person? What happens then?" I asked him.
His calm demeanor changed. "If someone is hurting you in the glade-"
You are that someone.
I cut Minho off shortly. "You'll do what?" I charged, "Help me? Be there for me?"
"Lilah-"
"I don't need you too," The words came out harsh and I could no longer deny my feelings. Or what I saw yesterday.
"I'm done."
Minho frantically glanced around. "Done with what?-"
It was on the tip of my tongue. Two words that i've held back,"Your lies!" I shouted.
Minho looked taken back.
"What the hell are you talking about? Why would I lie to you? Lilah?" He stared his eyes into mine. They were genuine, which confuses me.
Walk away.
And I did. I didn't want to give Minho another chance to speak. To say all these things that would only hurt me even more.
I heard Minho run after me "No!" Minho yelled, blocking me from walking. "You don't get to do that- You don't get say all of that and walk away," He said, drawing attention to us.
"Stop it! Just stop!" I felt a burning sense of anger swell up. My bones were craving for it. The desire for anger was controlling me.
Don't just stand there...do something.
So I pushed and pushed and pushed.
It was a big blur. I couldn't remember when everyone began to coward around and watch me loose it. As I yelled at Minho.
"Wow, wow."
Thomas pushed himself through the large coward surrounding Minho and I, followed by Newt and Gally.
I felt my body get pulled apart from Minhos, dragged away and back to reality.
"Put me down," I yanked myself out of their grip. "Don't touch me."
Thomas helped Minho up and off of the ground. Then he looked at me as if I was unrecognizable...They all did.
As I caught my breath my eyes trailed from left to right. The looks. The looks on their faces- The look on Newts face. He couldn't even look me in my eyes. I stared at him waiting for something, anything, but nothing came.
And in the end I felt like I was going crazy.
Teresa came in a rush, "Guys, it's Alby! He's awake," The brunette lowered her voice noticing the strange tension among the group. Then she looked directly at me. "Alby wants to see you, Lilah."
All heads to snap to Teresa who is startled by the attention.
"He's been asking for you."
