A Love For Minho

Chapter 2: Escaping

      We have to either run or hide. Now.
    I look at him and whisper, "Hide."
   I pull my arm out of his grasp and grab onto his hand and run down the wall a bit and stop abruptly. I turn to him push him to the ground and push him under the vines and follow in pursuit myself. As I cover us up so that the thing can't see us, the guy whispers to me.
    "What's your name?"
   "Yuki, now shh."
   "Okay."
   After a bit the click, click, whir grew louder and louder. I scoot back away from the the edge of the vines and feel his chest against my back.
  To close.
   I scoot up just a bit where I can barely feel his chest.
     Finally after about ten minutes the sounds of the Griever grew distant. I take a deep breath and look out from under the vines. Nothing. Good that's good. I crawl out and reach down and pull the boy out from under the vines.
     "Alright you have to hurry. I don't know what you call those things but they close in about ten to fifteen minutes. You better run."
  "Okay. I know that," He grabs my hand.
   I don't know why but that little contact sends sparks up my arm and down my spine.
"W-what are you doing?"
     "I'm not leaving you out here. One it's not safe, two Newt would kill me if I did leave you out here, and three I don't want to leave to leave you out here."
    "Okay. Let's go, lead the way."
     He nods his head and picks me up bridal style and smiles at me. I feel the heat go to my face.
    "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
  "Your barefoot so I thought I would carry you."
         I jump out of his arms and look at him completely serious, "I can run by myself and barefooted. I've done it many times and you never saw me."
        "Okay. Wait what do you mean by 'I've done it many times and you never saw me,"' He asks me while he starts running.
    I start running as well, "Nothing, just nothing."
     "Alright. We better hurry. Doors close in ten minutes."
   "Okay," I run faster.
      After a while of us running and not talking I realize I still don't know this guy's name.
    I open my mouth to ask him his name when he turns to me to ask me something too. I close my mouth and let him continue.
      "How long have you been in the maze?"
      "Uhh.... It only feels like a couple of weeks but its been about a year maybe a year and a half," I answer his question while looking at him. His eyebrows shoot up and his eyes go wider.
    "A year?! How did we never find you? Newt is going to be shocked!"
    "Well one thing, you guys aren't very observative I follow you around everyday. You have heard me cause you have looked back to see if anyone is there. I hid but not very well until the Grievers came. I was hoping one of you guys would find me because I didn't know how you guys would react to the....... uhh..... Doors opening and there be a girl standing there... I didn't know how you guys would react to well me.."
    "Wow. Hey I'm pretty sure. No I know that they will love you."
   "Okay. Hey I was going to ask you something."
"What?"
    "I still don't know you name. I have to know the name of they guy that rescued me. What's your name?"
   He smiles at me,"Minho."
      I feel butterflies go to my stomach when he smiles at me. Minho. Minho. He is going to be the guy that drives me crazy I already know it.....
      I look away from him still smiling at me and concentrate on whats ahead. That's when I see them. There are already more people in front of them, waiting for Minho. I stop dead in my tracts. I can still turn back now, not have to worry about all that is to come, I can leave and put this behind me. But that would mean leaving Minho, I look at Minho who is ahead of me but has stopped and is waiting on me. I cant leave. I take a deep breath and continue running, continue going towards the place that will change everything. I keep on running towards the Doors.
