After the Death Cure 2 ( The Maze Runner )

Chapter 39 | Kenzie

My lips slightly part, beginning to mouth the words I've wanted to say to him ever since I broke up with him. "I love you."
He doesn't say it back. He just stares at me. I don't mind; I know he loves me. He's proven it many times before, and still continues to prove it.
Chancellor Paige still stands at the podium, waiting for the guards to get the fighters under control. Sonya, Lily, and Harriet follow my lead by staying in their seats. I'm glad for it, too. I want to hear what Ava has to say instead of having to wait longer for the guards to get them quiet and cuffed.
It takes at least fifteen minutes before she can finally speak. She clears her throat, irritation planted all over her face, "The Maze will be the same, all except for the Grievers. In their place will be a more horrifying animal. If we kept the Grievers, it could possibly trigger the memory of the trauma that they caused, giving you your memories back. And we can't have that. Those who have been cuffed will be taken into the cellars until it is time to go into the Maze. Those who kept quiet, thank you for your cooperation. Enjoy your last few days together. Until then-"
"Tell us what's going to happen to us!" Minho yells, tears falling down his face.

Woah...

"Am I going to forget her?" Newt asks before Ava can respond. It was quiet and inncoent. Almost as if he didn't mean to say it.

She laughs, "You still don't remember her. None of you remember anything." She looks around at all of our confused faces. "You don't have your real memories. Everything you think you know is fake." I draw my attention to Joshua, who I just noticed was standing behind Ava. He looks at his feet once making eye contact with me.

He knew this whole time.

I clench my jaw, feeling my face turn hot from my now boiling blood. Ava looks down at me, and sees how angry I am. "Oh, you really thought you were engaged? It was all for variables. We've been studying you this whole time." She turns to Thomas, "Brenda never loved you. Her death was just a unplanned kink that was easily fixed. And the soldiers fighting Right Arm...they were with us this whole time. The rock that fell on Kenzie's head, planned. The war with the Cranks, planned."
I grip the ends of my chair to the point of pain. "You kids are owned by us. We adopted you. We can do as we please. You will never have your memories back. And you will not be free from us until we get what we want. Cause any trouble, and we'll kill you off in the Maze. Understood?"
Nobody answers. We just stare at her. I never loved him? It was all...fake?
