Runners (Teresa x Y/N) [Book 1]

24 - It was you...

Y/N Pov

"Hey Y/N" Newt says as I walk over taking a seat and a plate of food as well, I smile a little bit "Hey Newt, Hi Thomas" I say, Thomas waves at  me as I dig into my food having barely eaten all day "Someone's hungry this evening hey" Thomas says watching me eat, "She's barely eaten all day so I am not surprised that she is so hungry" Newt says eating his own Thomas looks up hearing that.

"Wait? Really? Why have you not eaten much Y/N" he asks, I look at him with a small smile avoiding his question "She's also been avoiding Teresa again" Newt says to him "Wait huh? That can't be easy when you sleep in the same space together" Thomas says I rest my head on the table groaning in stress, I finish my food standing up after "I'll see you guys later ok" I say, I hear the sound of them whispering quietly as I leave the area.

I start heading back to the tree house hoping Teresa isn't there as I just wanted to go to sleep without talking to anyone else tonight, I climb the ladder opening the hatch then closing it behind me being very gentle, I then turn to see Teresa sitting on her hammock.

"Oh... Hey.." I say, she suddenly stands up and grabs my arms carefully slamming me against the wall holding me down, "What the hell.." I say trying to get her off "I'm looking at you're stomach or so help me lord if you are infected again" she says taking deep breaths, she lifts my shirt up dropping it back down along with dropping me as well.

"What was that for Teresa!" I snap at her "You have been avoiding me!" she exclaims, she ties me to the tree, checking me all over for sting marks, she backs up confused, I start to panic struggling to get free "Teresa... Untie me please" I plead with her, she just remains completely still and silent.

"I'm not mad... I'll explain it please.." I plead with her, I feel tears start to roll down my cheek quickly as I pull the ropes, I start to hyperventilate quickly, Teresa notices and wastes no time in undo the ropes I fall to my knees.

"I... I can't.. breathe.. I can't.. Make it stop.." I gasp, she rushes over to me crouching down right beside me "Hey... Look at me.. I'm sorry.. I am so sorry.. you are safe.. I promise.." she says rubbing my back which begins to help me calm down slowly, "It's ok.. You're ok.." she says softly.

I calm down and she helps me up and over to the couch as I was shaking so much I sit on the couch leaning back staring at the celling quietly, "Hey.. I'm sorry.." I say looking at Teresa she looks at me with a frown "Why... I pushed you into a panic attack.." she says not proud of what happened, she takes a seat too.

"I've been avoiding you again, You had a right to be angry with me, you were just making sure" I say I sit up more, glancing at her with a sigh "I just want to know why.. Why have you been avoiding me again Y/N, did I do something?" Teresa asks.

I stay completely silent for a moment thinking about the next words to leave my mouth "It's the memories..." I mumble she raises a brow concerned "Did you have another bad one.." she asks looking worried "No.. Not exactly, it was a good one.. it had that girl I told you about in the other ones.." I say she nods at me "I see" she says as I pause a moment "the girl... It was you.." I say looking away momentarily.

"That explains a lot then, and shows a clear answer to the sexuality question I guess" she says chuckling a little "That is what you get from this" I say as she gives a playful grin "You know just because we were something then and feelings were a thing doesn't mean it needs to now right? Unless.. You want it to?" she says I grab a pillow and chuck it at her as my face goes red "What.. The hell Teresa" I laugh very very awkwardly.

I just told her about being in love and a relationship and she decided to tease me with it, after we both had it wiped completely, She bursts out laughing as do I as she drops the pillow onto her lap "I wouldn't be made you know, look at me I'm harmless" she says I look at her roll my eyes "You know you are so fully of yourself right Teresa" I laugh she just smirks "Everyone knows that, especially you" she says as also winking.

"My lord you are just terrible" I laugh rolling my eyes once again playfully this time, "Who is terrible and why?" we heard a voice say as the hatch gently opens, up comes Newt, Thomas and Tara.

"Oh hey guys" I say as I very quickly adjust my position on the couch, Thomas goes to walk over but spots the rope on the floor by the tree, "It's not what it looks like!" I panic very quickly, "I was teaching her how to tie a tight knot" Teresa explains glancing at the others "Ok then" Tara says taking the rope from Thomas handing it to Teresa quickly.

"Anyways Teresa we have some stuff to do" Newt says breaking the awkwardness taking her hand helping her down the ladder followed by Thomas leaving myself and Tara up in the tree house, she takes a seat next to me on the couch with a big smirk.

"What's with the smirk?" I ask her raising a brow "I know she wasn't teaching you to tie a knot Y/N the boys may be stupid but I'm not" she says I sigh looking down "Fine... I had a memory.. And she was the girl that I loved.." I explain.
