You were helping out in the gardens with Newt when Thomas and Minho run back into the Maze, where you run to meet Thomas with a hug.

"I'm okay." He says in your ear.

You go get him something to eat when you hear everyone screaming. You drop the plate and run outside.

"Thomas?" You scream, looking around for him.

He appears from the Homestead, running to everyone who is crowded around the opening in the walls.

The openings in the wall that aren't closing. They should have been closed already. You looked down the alley way that you used to run down everyday before you broke your ankle, that's how you and Thomas got together, he ran into the Maze to save you like a dumb shank, but you two survived the night and one thing led to another.

"This is all your fault!" Gally yelled at Thomas. "You show up and everything goes shucking wrong!"

"Gally! Lay off," you shove him away from Thomas. "You two throwing punches is the least of our worries right now."

That's when you see it.

The Grievers turning the corner of the Maze, coming right at you.

Thomas turns to Minho. "Go get every weapon you can find." Then to Chuck. "Chuck, go round everyone up into the Homestead."

"Everyone run!" Thomas yells as the Grievers take off, running at you, who is running away from them.

You run into the cornfield, Thomas holding you close to him. You had this feeling in your gut, a feeling that you weren't going to make it out of this.

That you were going to die tonight.

"Thomas," you say but he ignores you. "Thomas."

He turns to you, his eyes reading fear. "I love you, okay? This isn't your fault. I love you so much."

You lean forward and kiss his lips, enjoying them one last time.

The Griever starts picking you off one by one, while you hide in the cornfield.

Then Fry comes and you run to the Homestead.

But the Grievers stop you short.

"Get behind me." Thomas says, pushing you behind him.

He starts to step forward but Newt and Minho throw stakes into it, shoving us toward the Homestead.

*sometime later*

You step into the grass, taking in everything around you.

Everything on fire, everything falling apart, everything destroyed.

Everything you worked so hard to build, destroyed to shreds within an hour.

Thomas put an arm around your waist, sighing beside you.

"This is your fault!" Gally came screaming towards Thomas.

You take a step forward, your fist colliding with his jaw, knocking him down.

"Shut up." You say, hugging Thomas tightly.
