"So Y/N?"Aris trailed off.

"We are literally trapped in the Scorch with this strange man while Thomas missing. What the hell could you want?"

"You should be-"
"No,"I interrupted.

"Why?"

"You're still delirious,"I sighed.

"It's been quite a while, and he seems fine. I think that you are just in denial,"Newt butted in.

"When we got to safety you, Minho, and Aris are dead."

"Sounds good to me."

"Aris, I am going to take you out first,"I said before I could catch myself. Once I did I cursed under my breath. He was going to take that the complete wrong way on purpose.

"Just tell me when and where, and I'll be there."

"Go screw yourself,"I scowled.

"Hey Aris, I'm not saying you have terrible taste, but I am saying that you are picking someone who hates you,"Frypan added.

"She could never hate me. Right, Y/N?"

"Shut up,"I mumbled.

"See? If it was anyone else she would have just said yes,"He pointed out. To be fair, he was also right. He was probably the only thing I could handle, that I wanted around. I wouldn't admit that to anyone though. Ever.

"To be realistic, you are her only friend,"Minho pointed out

"I hate all of you. I hate everyone and everything,"I grumbled.

"Is there anything you actually like?"Aris questioned.

"No. Everything sucks. I hate being stuck out here. I hate how we're always on edge. I hate that we're never safe. I hate that we're always lied to. I hate that we can never just live our lives. I hate that I don't even know what I hate everything. Most of all I hate that the only thing I can't hate Aris, and I hate how I love him,"I absentmindedly confessed. The silence that followed was so loud it actually hurt my ears. Has I truly just blurted out something that mortifying?

"Would you look at that? You actually were the exception. What a cliche,"Minho stated.

"I hope I get struck over the head and never have to deal with this,"I mumbled.

"Don't wish for that. I still haven't asked-"
"I will never be your girlfriend,"I repeated.

"So you love him, he loves you, and the thought of admitting that mortifies you?"Jorge clarified.

"Nobody loves anyone. Besides, relationships when you're young don't even last. Why would I want to deal with that?"I pointed out.

"Maybe to learn?"He suggested.

"I'm not taking advice from some guy who tied me up,"I promised.

"I've got it,"Aris spoke up.

"I swear if you ask me-"
"Five years,"He interrupted.

"What?"I asked.

"Five years. Five years when we're older I'm going to ask again."

"You'll find someone else. It's not-"
"Then, you'll have nothing to worry about,"He reminded me. At this point I would do anything to get him off of my back.

"Fine. You're not going to do that anyway."

"I'm determined when I believe in something, and I believe in you,"He said firmly.

"Sure. Whatever you say. Now can we get some sleep before we get to the Scorch City? Going in this place when we're not awake sounds like a bad idea,"I pointed out.

"Good job avoiding the topic Y/N. You didn't even insult someone."

"Hey Minho?"

"Yeah?"

"You're at the top of my hit list now."
