BROKEN HEART - the maze runner

06

My head was bursting with too many thoughts. I didn't understand what the hell was going on there. Teresa, with whom I didn't have a great relationship from the beginning, touched and packed my things. Then he says I'm ready to go. In addition, she left Danny's room, who had also been behaving strangely the day before, and... well, no.

I jumped up from the chair, causing it to fall over and hit the floor with a bang. I passed Teresa, stopping myself from nudging her with my shoulder at the last moment, and stormed into the bedroom. I could hear my own teeth grinding in my ears.

I didn't know which emotions that were tearing at my heart at that time should I focus on the most. I felt anxious, angry, irritated and completely confused at the same time. But when I saw Danny's indifferent expression, something inside me stirred

-What does that mean?

It was just one of many questions I wanted to ask him at that moment. And I was going to torment him with them until everything became clear

The man didn't look at me. He played with the strap of his watch, playing dangerously with my patience, which I didn't have much of at the time.

-If you wanted me to leave, you should have told me -  I growled. I pointed to the door. - You didn't have to drag Teresa into this whole drama.

-Teresa just did me a favor - he finally said.

-I don't care what made her do it! - I shouted. My ears were ringing. If it weren't for the sore throat, I wouldn't have even realized that I had started screaming. - I'm more interested in what you mean!

I no longer cared that just beyond the thin wall there were a mass of pairs of ears listening to us. To be honest, I didn't really care what they thought about me.

-Ellie, calm down - he growled sharply. - You have the right to be angry. But you can't...

-Don't lecture me!

I went crazy. I felt my legs trembling, but as if there was no ground under them, even though I was standing straight. I saw him saying something to me, but his words didn't reach me at all. I breathed deeply, but my lungs were burning and struggling for any amount of oxygen. All I saw, heard and felt then was fear. He was overwhelming me. I was choking on him.

-Shut up! - I screamed and tangled my fingers in my hair, pulling it hard. -Shut up, shut up, shut up!

Someone entered the room. he grabbed my arms, but I pulled away. I was afraid. It was loneliness that stretched out its arms to me. Danny pushed me into her embrace. Why was he doing this to me?

Fear has grown into my body like a weed.

I looked tearfully towards the bed; at terrified Danny, who would be standing next to me if he could. I was glad he couldn't. I didn't want him to touch me. I was disgusted by him. He was abandoning me.

Why did he want to leave me?

-I hate you! - I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I heard my heart break.

I had to escape. I felt the walls begin to close in on me. They laughed. No land. Oxygen. There is only noise around. Where am I? 

Someone put their hands on my shoulders again. He tried to stop me, but I was already running. I felt tears on my cheeks; my soul cried. My name was shouted from somewhere behind me, but the whispers in my head were immediately drowned out by hers. I didn't go on the road. I was running.

Scream. Way. Whispers. Pain. Ellie. Darkness.

Fear.
