Eyes as black as night.

When we were strangers

Before it began, his eyes were chocolate brown with small hints of yellow. It was the one thing I really remembered about him.

Escaping that maze was the hardest thing I've ever done, I think, as you know none of us member anything before that sodding hell hole. Now the institute wasn't that bad but they had secrets. I will tell you all I remember like it happened but belive me it's hard to tell a story you wish wasn't true.

I woke up with my head resting on Thomas's chest. It was hard to wake up when all I could hear was the helicopter all I could see was it's piercing lights but i knew I had to. I heaved my heavy body to sit up and look around. All of my friend surrounded me, my sister, my bestfriend, Thomas, my N- oh no, hang on that's just Newt, never mind.

I spent a moment just looking between all of the grieving people and momentarily did wonder what all the sadness was about. Deep inside me somewhere I knew they were gone but my head wouldn't let me see the facts clearly. Truth and opinion, reality and wishes all smushed together and made my head spin.

"Mia. Mia. MIA!" I shouted at my sleeping bestfriend while kicking her side. She wouldn't budge, I knew she could sleep but bloody hell Mia, that's ridiculous. Not wanting to wake anyone else up I carefully moved myself towards my stirring sister. "Reesy? Teresa are you awake?" I mean I know I said I didn't want to wake anyone else up but she didn't count, my life's goal was to annoy her. "What do you want YN?" She said keeping her eyes firmly shut and moving the bear minimum to be able to speak.

"Never mind Reesy" I said looking out across the dark, sandy valley. "I hate you so much" she said opening her eyes to death stare me, trying to scare me like she normally did. "Oh boo hoo, am I supposed to care?" I laughed to myself like I often did- I am a really funny person okay- and she swung her legs around to kick the bottom of my back.

Before I could get another word in the captain radioed over from the eye as they called it. "We'll be landing in about five minutes folks, so if you could get your stuff together and get ready to run, that would be greatly appreciated" What did he mean run? What were we running from? What the fuck was going on?

"Mia! Oh for God sake Mia get up now!" I was shouting loudly next to her ear and hitting her pretty hard now. That didn't seem to wake Mia up though, it did seem to wake everyone around her up however. "Mia, I know your boyfriend just died and all that jazz but could quite kindly wake the fuck up before you join him too?" It was brutal but it seemed to do the job. It had made everyone uncomfortable as they packed away in silence but at leat it stopped her dying. "What the fuck did you just say?" She said sitting up tears glistening across her eyes. "Mia, I'm sorry, it's just you wouldn't wake up and we have to go" I felt really bad for bringing it back up and making her cry.

She really loved Gally but he had died and even then she didn't cry, she was the strongest girl I had ever met but I had broken her. I can't say I knew how she was feeling becuase the boy I loved was still alive, sitting across from her, but I would never have admitted that. I did know Gally very well though, I knew how much he loved my bestfriend, how happy he made her and how special she felt with him. It seemed like they were the best of friends as well as being in a relationship with eachother.

Now I didn't have a relationship but I did have a bestfriend who made me feel so loved. Thomas was like my Gally, just minus the romantics. I really did love him and after my track record of gladers it was best for him to be my best mate rather than anything else.

Mia had stopped crying eventually and managed to get herself together just in time for landing but... oh shit, Thomas was still asleep. I was going to have to let someone else deal with him, I had someone I owed a big apology to. Oh yeah and I should probably go and kill Teresa too.
