I've never been this more panicked in my entire life. Distraught before. Several things were running wild in my mind. As I tried to soly focus on one thing at a time.
The speech I gave was confusing. What was on that card? Why did I rip it? What happened after I said all of that? Is that I was sent into the maze? Or was it for experiment purposes only?
We all collectively glanced between each other. All this information was eating us alive. I felt it in my bones. I'm sure they did too. How could they not?
I watched the shoes on my feet. Swaying back and forth in comfort.
Minho broke the thick layer of tension, "Were you a rebel?" He asked.
Silence.
And I felt it. Their stares companied by their silence. I slowly tilted my head up, making eye contact with Newt then Minho.
Anxiously, I licked my bottom lip before landing my eyes on Thomas. Who stood right next to me, "Was I?" I asked him.
What the-
My head ached, pounding in my skull. A memory came forward. Actually, a set of words spoke.
***
"What are you going to do!" Shouted Thomas, "What were you thinking? Now she'll be watching us."
"I don't know! I-I just couldn't, Thomas. I couldn't say what they wanted me too!"
Thomas stepped closer, gently wrapping his arms around me, "I know, I know. It's not your fault," He whispered before placing a small peck on my lips.
I leaned forward and eagerly pulled him closer. We stood in an empty lab room, melting into a kiss.
***
My lips parted as my jaw dropped. I ignored everyone's weird looks that were aimed at me. Everyone expect for Newt who had concern written all over his face.
"Lilah, what's wrong?" His voice was soft, making me feel worse. Everything was wrong. This was all wrong.
Thomas and I? We-
Wait a minute. I thought back to our conversation on our way here. Thomas had something to say. Right then and there I pieced everything together.
My head snapped towards Thomas. Shock plastered on my face. He stared at me worryingly and then it faded. He knew. He was trying to tell me that earlier.
Thomas stared back at me, knowing why I was in such a state of bafflement.
That why he's said it doesn't just affect us...Because of Newt and Teresa.
It only normal I'm reacting this way. It's was so out of blue. Not once did it ever cross my mind that Thomas and I were a thing before we got a minds wiped. Most importantly, this doesn't change a thing. I care about Thomas. Just not in the way I use too. And there's nothing wrong with. I know for a fact Thomas feels the same way.
I've seen the way he looks a Teresa. She someone special to him. Even before the maze. We all had a special bond. Some closer than others but at the end of the day we all cared about each other.
Now things are different. We've both met new people and grew apart. We might not be madly in love, anymore. But there's always room for friendship.
Thomas was my best friend and will always be my best friend.
"What? What is it?" Minho asked starting at Thomas and I, suspiciously, "What happened to no more secrets?-"
"I went against W.C.K.D," I interrupted the boy. That wasn't a lie. It was true. I just did not mention the other part. The part about me and Thomas.
We still need to have a conversation about that and figure things out before telling the others. It would make things difficult if I were to have to talk about this with Thomas, in front of everyone.
"Do you think that why they threw her in the maze, Tommy?" Newt asked Thomas. The brunettes gaze fell on him and he moved closer, "I don't know. There's still so much we are missing."
"Right, you two only gained a portion of your memories back," Winston added.
Newt folded his arm out in front of his chest, "We will go back to this later," He said to all of us, "We aren't going to get anymore answers here."
Minho glanced back at me. He knew something was up. I nervously swallowed dryly. Why was I nervous? Maybe because of the stern expression on his face? Minho could be scary at times. In this case, that time was right now. Nothing can get past him. Minho was too smart for that.
"What do we now?"
Everyone in the room one by one looked over to Thomas. It was that we would trusted Thomas a lot more than he thought. We trusted that he knew what was best.
"We get the hell out of here."
As if fate was on our side. On cue a hallway became visible to the eye, opening up to a long hallway.
Our freedom.

A/N: Short chapter but the plot twist makes up for it.
Did you guys see that coming? I wrote this then I reread it and I was shocked myself. Like how is Newt going to react when he finds out? And does Teresa already know?
