Make Up or Break Up

Thomas' POV

It's been three days since we broke up. Now all we do is fight all the time. I still feel heart broken, but she doesn't seem to mind.

This morning, I woke up and went running with Minho just like I usually do.

At dinner time, we both came back to the Glade and sat down with Newt, Chuck, and Marissa. She wouldn't even look at me, and I wouldn't look at her either.

"Alright this is rediculous!! Why can't you guys even look at one another! Three days ago you couldn't stop staring at each other!!!" Chuck said irritably.

"Yeah seriously! What is up with you bloody shanks?" Newt added.

"Nothing. Marissa just likes to see people in pain." I said.

"Seriously, you can say that to me? Look I was doing it for the best of both of us!" She said back.

I swear I wanted to strangle her right now.

"What are you talking about?" Minho asked confused.

"You can tell them since you think you're so smart." I said to her.

"Alright well ThomasandIwereathinguntilIbrokeup
withhimthreedaysagoandnowheisreallymadatme." She said in less than five seconds.

"What? I didn't catch any of that." Newt said.

"Thomas and I liked each other, and I kissed him but we broke up three days ago." she said in a sad voice.

"Alright well this has to end! Both of you are going to clean up the the Bloodhouse, which is the place where the sloppers prepare the food before we eat it. You will clean it by yourselves after dinner." Newt said.

"Do I have to do it with her? She is kind of a life ruiner with a pretty face."

I think I may have gone to far. I saw her lips tremble, and a tear slide down her cheek. She ran off to the Bloodhouse, so no one would see her cry.

"Thomas, I think you may have crossed the line." Chuck said once she was gone.

"Come on shuck face! You really hurt her feelings!" Minh said.

I sighed and got up from the table to go find Marissa.

Marissa's POV

I ran into the Bloodhouse and sat against the wall in the corner. I put my head in my knees and cried.

I feel so embarrassed! I let Thomas, Chuck, Minho, and Newt see me cry!

The three days I've been apart from Thomas have been the worst three days of my life that I remember (not that I remember a lot of them). Ever since I broke up with him, I have either wished I had him back or fought with him.

I am sure that he couldn't feel any worse than I did about the break up. I screwed up big time. He called me a 'life ruiner!' Obviously he hates me now.

I was snapped back to reality when I heard footsteps come into the Bloodhouse.

I could here them getting closer and closer to me and the person crouched down to my level.

"Hey, um the Bloodhouse is kind of a nice place." the voice said awkwardly.

I looked up to meet Thomas' eyes and gave him a look of disgust.

I walked away from him to go get the cleaning supplies from the Bloodhouse supplies closet.

When I walked back over I said, "I really don't want to talk to you right now."

"Look Marissa, I am sorry about what I said to you at dinner. I just got...mad. I really loved you, and then you broke up with me. These past few days have been hard for me." he said.

I sighed and put down the cleaning supplies and said, "They've been hard for me too. I am sorry that I broke up with you. I was just frustrated and embarrassed that you told everyone. I loved you too."

"Loved?"

"Well, I love you."

"I love you too."

I realized that we were so close to each other. I could feel his warm breath on my face.

Before I knew it, he grabbed my face and smashed his lips on mine. The kiss got more and more heated and his hands kept traveling lower and lower. Once they got to low for my liking, I finally pulled apart and said, "Thomas, I cant."

"I'm sorry. I know. Uh we should clean this up before Newt gets here and sees that we haven't been doing anything."

"Oh right." I said awkwardly.

We cleaned up all the machines and all the blood on the floor. When we finished, Thomas walked me back to my room.

"I'm going to go to bed." I said.

"Alright, I should get back to my room too." He said and started to walk away.

"Wait!! Uh I want you to sleep next to me tonight." I was trying to make sure I didn't sound awkward about it, but it didn't work.

He smirked and said, "Ok."

I walked into my room and found a pair of clean clothes that I could sleep in. I went to my bathroom and locked the door to take a shower. Could you imagine Thomas accidentally walking in on me?!! That would literally be so embarrassing.

When I finished showering and putting on my clean clothes, I walked back in my room to see Thomas already asleep on my bed. I slid in my bed trying not to wake Thomas, but it didn't work. He pulled me into the spooning position and wrapped both arms around me. I smiled and fell asleep soundly knowing that Thomas was next to me.
