Inverted love//The maze runner// The story of Bella and Thomas

Part 4-My name, I can remember my name!

I can't move, open my eyes or my mouth. I'm just laying here incapable of doing anything at all. I have no idea where I am right now but I'm not laying in the grass anymore. I'm probably in one of the huts because I can hear voices from a distance, not like they're whispering more like it's a wall between us. The voices outside the medjack are suddenly drowned out by the sounds of computers clicking and shoes walking around in the room. I'm no longer in the medjack, I'm in some sort of a lab. Pictures are flashing before my eyes, some staying longer than others. All of a sudden a woman appears."Everything will be alright, just remember Bella. Wicked is good"

Bella, who is Bella?
She looks me straight into my eyes, it's me I am Bella!

I wake up in the middle of the medjack, with her words echoing around in my head."Everything will be alright" "Wicked is good" "Bella"

I jump out of the bed and run out to the open field. Everyone stops what they are doing to look at me.

"-My name, I remember my name!! I'm Bella"
Everyone gathers around me and starts cheering and hugging me.

"I'm happy you finally got your name but you really shouldn't be up running right now. You just woke up" Alby said, looking at Jeff, nodding at me so Jeff would take me back to the medhut.

"No, Alby I'm perfectly fine. I'm not dizzy at all, it just feels like I've just woken up from a long nap." I try to look as convincing as possible but he still doesn't believe me. He shakes his head.

"Bella it wasn't just a nap, you were asleep for a week"

A week, how the fuck is that possible. It had to be a joke. I know the fall from the ladder was at least twice my own height but it couldn't be that bad. When I woke up it literally felt like I just woke up from a good night sleep.

"A WEEK?! Are you kidding me? Was I in a coma or something??"

Alby looked at Jeff, who looked at me. He looks like he doesn't know how to explain what had happened. I can feel my body heating up, my steady heart beat in my chest and my hands getting all wet. What if something's seriously wrong with me? Am I sick? He just keeps looking at me, trying to read my facial expression. I myself think it's pretty clear I'm stressed about the news and I would prefer if he would tell me now instead of just letting me overthink this.

After what feels like hours he finally opens his mouth looking like he's about to say something, just to seconds later change his mind.

"Omg Jeff just spit it out!" I didn't realize how loud I had screamed that until it was too late. Everyone and then I mean EVERYONE turned too look at me. My face got even more red, I didn't even think that was possible but I guess I was wrong.

"Yes you were in a coma. The coma was caused by severe lack of sleep. You need to sleep 7-9 hours per night you know? And i would assume you haven't even slept 3 hours every night the last few weeks." Jeff's usually happy face was now replaced by a concerned face.

I've had some issues with falling asleep but I didn't think it would affect me that much. Especially not causing me to fall into a coma.
It's almost scary to think about it, they didn't know if I would have ever woken up again. But here I was, wide awake.

Jeff gave me a look, I knew what it meant and I just did as I was told. I walked back to the medhut with him right behind me.

"Bella you'll have to take a few days off and just focus on getting some rest. And if you don't want to fall into a coma again or even worse, you'll have to upgrade your sleeping schedule a few hours."

I just nod at him as he walks out of the hut to go talk with Alby, probably about me. Ever since I came up in the box a few months ago Alby's been super protective about me, almost like I was that little sister he never had. Or at least that he couldn't remember.

The hut was so quiet. No voices, no boys walking around with loud steps, nothing. I wasn't used to this, my hut was placed right next door to the sludge hammers. The only times it was quiet was when everyone was in there own hut trying to sleep and even then I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep when it was too quiet, cause then I could hear those horrendous sounds coming from the maze. The maze was something that could have me up thinking all night. What was that place? What were all those terrible noises? The noises of a so called "Griever" every time I heard that sound i froze, I could feel the cold creeping through my body.

Besides being quiet it was also quite dark in here even though it was around 11am. I sat down on the bed placed in the middle of the room. It was actually kind of nice. I remembered what Jeff just said about my lack of sleep, I don't know if it was my brain trying to trick my body or if I was actually tired. I went from sitting to laying down on my back looking up in the roof. I felt my eyelids getting heavier as I was slowly falling asleep. Even though I had just woken up from a coma it felt like I hadn't slept for years, how could I be so exhausted from being in a coma...? It didn't really make sense but I was just seconds from being fully asleep. And for the first time in days I actually allowed myself to go to sleep, not having to listen to the grievers running around in the maze. For some reason they're only in the maze in the night. So I didn't have to worry about them right now.
