The Broken Glader

Part 30 - Not my problem

- Y/n pov:

I was smoking in my hut when someone knocked at the door. It was Minho.
I opened it and stood there tiredly.
"What do you want?" I said coldly.
"We have decided to escape the maze. Tonight at dinner we are going to make an announcement. All we are going to say is that you got your memories back and you know how to get out. You and I both know that Josh can't know that you guys are twins so we decided to keep it as simple as that." He said.
"I assume that means I need to come to dinner?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Yeah." He said quietly.
"Fine." I said shutting the door.
Normally I would be nicer to Minho but it's not like there was much point. Everyone hated me so why bother being nice to them. I was happy though that we were leaving this hellhole. I mean it's not like anyone but Minho, George and Alby spoke to me so even if outside was a trap, I might at least be able to fine friends. Minho had been great though. No matter how rude I was or broken, he was there for me.
The noise of the glade quietened and I knew it meant that it was dinner time.
I picked myself up off of my floor and walked over. When I entered all eyes turned to me. I hadn't come to any meals for at least 2 weeks. I walked past where Fry was handing out food, and sat down next to Minho. I ignored everyone burying my head in hands.
After about 15 minutes of normal chatter, everyone went silent.
I lifted my head up and looked toward the make shift stage. Alby stood there waiting for everyone's attention.
"I have an announcement. Gladers, we have a way to escape the maze."
Everyone sat, jaws dropped, staring at Alby. "Y/n has regained her memories and therefore knows the way out. We were all tested in for years before being put here, so Y/n was told the escape before entering. We leave tomorrow morning." He announced.
All eyes turned to me. I just sat, not even flinching, dead inside.
The hall erupted into shouts and conversations as everyone processed the news. I stood up and walked out slamming the door as I did.
I didn't want to sit there any longer.
I went back into my hut and started to pack up my things. Just the essentials; pads, cigarettes, cat food, my notepad. I stuffed some clothes into it as well and then zipped up the back pack. I picked up another cigarette and started to smoke it. My mother hated me smoking. It was bad for me and could kill me but just like now, I hated my life and don't care. If she ever caught me, she immediately took them away. I enjoyed the freedom I had at the moment to smoke without her interference. That was all going to change.
The glade filled with noise again and I hid myself in my wardrobe. I knew what was coming. There it was.
Outside my hut were many shouts and questions. People banging on the door for me to open it. I just sat hid away in the closet waiting for it to end. When, after 5 minutes, it didn't, I forced myself to go and respond. I opened the door. There was a crowd of boys standing there shouting for me.
I just stood there was they all shouted at me, making everything they said inaudible.
My chest started to tighten and my palms started sweating. I felt the panic attack coming over me. I was struggling to breathe. Someone cut through the crowd and pulled me off to the side. Minho. Oh thank god for Minho. He sat me down on the grass and I started to breathe again.
"Thank you." I whispered to him, as he sat down next to me.
"No problem." He responded smiling.
He walked over to the crowd and started to shout something at them. They all dispersed once he had finished, allowing room to go back into my hut.
I headed back in with Minho. I went to pick up the packet of cigarettes when his hand stopped me. I looked at him rage filling my mind.
"Please Y/n. Smoking kills." He said staring into me.
"I don't really care Minho. I love how it feels and who would give a shit if I died? My mum certainly wouldn't." I snapped back.
"I would care Y/n! You are so important to me. I wouldn't be able to go on if I lost you." He shouted.
I stood silently before releasing my hand.
"Fine." I said back through gritted teeth.

- Teresa's pov:

I was sat at dinner with Newt and Thomas. Everything was normal until Y/n walked in. Something was up. Y/n never came to meals anymore. Well not since Newt broke up with her. I mean she definitely needed it. She was much skinnier now instead of being a fat pig. She sat down by Minho, no food, her head in her hands. Suddenly the dinner hall went quiet and I turned to see Alby standing on the Makeshift stage and he started to speak.
"I have an announcement. Gladers, we have a way to escape the maze."
I already knew what was coming so I acted a little so they wouldn't realise I already knew how to escape.
"Y/n has regained her memories and therefore knows the way out. We were all tested in for years before being put here, so Y/n was told the escape before entering. We leave tomorrow morning." He announced. The entire dining hall turned to face her. She looked as though she was completely dead inside. The thought made me smile. I quickly hid it. She stood up and walked out slamming the door. Everyone started to shout and talk about what had just happened. I just continued to eat my meal. After dinner I headed back to my hut, Newt following. Since he was second in command, I assumed he had already been told. A crowd had formed just outside Y/n's hut but I just ignored it. Not my problem.
I slipped into my pyjamas and hopped into the bed. Newt joined me after a minute and we cuddled.
I was overjoyed to be able to see Ava again. She was like my second mother. My mother got infected when I was 7. She would get these visions and scream at night. One day I came home from school and I went down to see her. There was blood all over the room and she was sat on the bed facing the wall. I asked if she was ok and she said that the visions were gone, she had taken care of them.
She had taken out her eyes.
That was the moment I knew I would do anything to find this cure. Me and Ava share the same desire to find the cure. I don't know what happened to my mother but at this point she is most likely at the last stage of crank.

After a few minutes I fell asleep.
