"You jumped after me?" I ask Newt as we're following Jorge.
"Well, it seemed the right thing to do" He simply says as if it's nothing. I couldn't help the smile slowly fading away. I don't know what I hoped to hear but this wasn't it, that's for sure.
I could hear Minho laughing from behind us. His laughter filled with joy, as if he enjoyed the fact that we were struggeling to look each other in the eyes.
We both turn around at the exact same time looking at Minho with annoyance in our eyes.
"Oh don't think that, that would do any difference. You're the one who jumped after a almost complete stranger" He says as I mentioned Newt rolling his eyes.
"You do realize that she's still stalker girl right?" Minho added.
"Yes, but without her we wouldn't even be here right now so why leave her behind just yet?" He snaps at Minho.
"Well we could be here without her right now, we only needed Aris"
"Guys just shut up! I don't know if you needed me or not, but just let it be what happend and don't make it worse. Please" I snap at them as I felt myself irritating about there fighting. 
I just walk farther towards Jorge, walking next to Teresa. She looked sad and lonely and I knew exactly how she felt. She didn't want to let Thomas behind and I totally understand that, I wouldn't leave Aris behind. 
"Hey, you alright?" I ask. She looks at me, her eyes red and irritated.
"Yeah i guess" She says. Her eyes locked on me.
"I know it's hard to leave Thomas behind, but we have to keep going. We'll meet him again soon." I say, more trying to comfort myself then her. I didn't know them for that long but it still felt wrong to leave someone behind that I sort of know. Leader instinct is what I always called it.
"Well I know that I can handle it. I mean Newt would never handle it well if one of us would be left behind. Espessially you, he wouldn't jump after anyone as far as I know" Teresa says and a smile appears on the right corner of my lips. He cares about me.
"I think he would do that for everyone, he's a sweet guy you know." I say, keeping the attention away from me. 
"Well, you could also feel special for once" she says, my heart made a jump at her words. I should feel special? Am I special for him? No Lena shut up, you can't like him. You only know him for like maybe a week.
"I'm sure he would do it for anyone" I say as I look behind me, only to find a pair of brown eyes staring into mine. 
The rest of the journey I kept quiet, not knowing what I should do. I couldn't talk to Newt again after what I just heard and Teresa was having a rough time. I'm sure the others wouldn't want to talk to me either.
There it is, the sound I know all to well, the box is comming back up. A new girl would arrive in the heart.
We all run towards the lift where I see a beautiful girl lying down inside the lift. Her hair a dirty blonde with beautiful blue eyes that seem to light up in the way the sun falls down onto her face.
As I jump inside the lift she crawls away, not knowing where she was or who she was.
"Hey it's okay. I'm Lena, let me show you around" I say as I hold out a hand for her to take. She hesitates a little but then she takes my hand. Slowly standing up as she lookes around. 
"Where am I?" She asks. Her voice soft and light, almost angel like.
"We call it the heart, welcome to your new home" I say as I climb out of the lift, the girl following me.
"Can you tell me your name, where you came from or anything at all?" I ask her. I know no one actually knew something when they first get here but I could always try.
"I, I can't, why, why can't, why can't I remember anything?" She stutters. Her voice had a nervous tune. 
"It's okay, it happens to all of us. You'll get your name back in a day or two, it's the one thing they let us keep." I say as she seems to calm down a little. It's so wonderfull how everyone calms down when they know their name is coming back after a day or two. 
"They?" She asks.
"The creators, the ones that put us here." I simply answer as we walk around the heart. 
She seemed to calm down a bit but it wasn't enough for her to know about the maze around and the dangers that she would face once the doors close. 
"So you're the one that makes sure everything is going the right way around here?" The girl asks.
"You could call me that" I say, a smile appearing on my lips.
"That doesn't really surprise me if I'm being honest, I mean you're so sweet. Who wouldn't want you to be their leader"
"Well there seem to be a lot of girls who doubt my leadership"
"Why? You treat me with kindness, I doubt that you wouldn't do that to others"
"That's the whole problem if you would ask them, I'm to kind and to caring. I couldn't kill someone if I had to. Yes I had to bannish a girl or two but nothing more then that and I wouldn't be able to do that if I didn't have help from the others" I say as my heart started to beat faster and I feel myself tensing up.
Those memories wasn't what I wanted to be talking about.
"Oh, I'm sorry! It's just you're so sweet, I wouldn't want to have someone else showing me around" She says and I start to feel myself calming down.
Someone really wanted me here.
