A Love For Minho

Chapter 4: Settling

    It is hot and I'm sweating, and running. I hear gun shots everywhere and I see black vans and people in suits grabbing people and putting them in the vans. I don't know why I'm running, all I know is that I need to run.
    I hear people calling my name and see Hank and my little brother Charlie, no in the maze they will be called Minho and Chuck.
"Rosalie!" Hank calls to me.
Charlie is crying a bit, "Rosie! Ro! Big sis come back don't leave us!"
Do they think I would leave them?
I hear a gun shot then......

I wake up and look around the room. I'm laying in a bed in some sort of room, I don't know how I got here though.....
I look over and see Minho sitting in a chair, leaning forward with his elbows resting on his knees and his head bowed. He is sleeping.
I go to sit up but I feel a hand on my shoulder and I look over where I see the boy with the blond hair. Newt.
"Don't try to get up without help, don't argue." He says with a British accent.
I nod and he puts his hand on my shoulder blade and slowly helps me up. Even though I could've done it myself.
When I'm sitting up with my back leaning against the wall I turn to him and ask, "Where.... Am... I?" My voice is very dry.
"Here have some water," He walks over to a unstable table and grabs some water, turns around, walks back to me and hands it to me. I take a long, long drink before looking at him and asking again, "Where am I?"
"You're in one of the rooms in the Homestead."
"How long have I been out?" I look out a window like thing, it's already dark.
"A couple of hours, maybe."
I nod and look back over to where Minho is.
"He refused to leave until you woke up.." He walks over and shakes Minho's shoulder, "Minho. Minho wake up, she's awake."
After hearing that Minho's eyes snapped open and he looks over to where I am.
"Hey," I say
"Hey. How are you?"
"I'm fine..... I'm used to this...... kind of.."
"What was that," Newt asks
"I think it's this thing called a panic attack. I rate them small, medium, and hard. Small ones aren't that bad, my vision gets blurry and I lose my breath. Medium ones are the same but it's harder to breath and I start to pass out, but not completely.. Hard ones, well you just saw one. it's the same thing only a lot worse. Also I pass out. I can feel a panic attack coming on. My hands start shaking, I start to stuttering and I can't breath well. Also after I have a small one it's hard for me to walk but I still can. But with a medium or hard one I'm not able to walk for awhile. So I'm going to be here for a little bit longer..."
"Oh, okay... Alright you don't leave I won't leave," Minho states while leaning back and crossing his arms.
"Minho you have to eat and get some rest, for your work tomorrow." Newt states
"I'm not leaving."
"Minho."
"No."
"Minho, you don't have to stay. I'll be fine," I look at him but I quickly look away.
Minho gets up and walks over to me. "Fine." He reaches down and picks me up bridle style. "I'll carry you to the room you will be staying in so you can get settled."
I freak out for a couple of seconds and I feel myself blushing so I look down, letting my hair fall in front of my face.
"F-fine."
"Yuki are you okay? Your stuttering again," Newt looks at me concerned.
"I'm fine. It just startled me."
Newt smirks. "Well okay. We are in a room on the first level but you will be staying in one of the rooms on the second level."
I nod and Minho turns and walks out of the room. As soon as Minho walks out of the room all eyes are on us. There are a lot of guys in the room and they are all starring at Minho and I. Minho ignores them and walks up the stairs.
When we get to one of the rooms he pushes open the door with his foot and walks in. He sets me on the bed and walks out again.
"Um thanks. I guess." I mumble to myself
Minho walks back in with a tee-shirt in his hand. "Here. You can wear one if my tee-shirts until we can get the Creators to send up some clothes for you." He hands me the tee-shirt and smirks, "Do you need any help changing? Cause ya know I'm always of assistance."
I can't help looking him up and down. His black hair, tan skin, his muscles.... I blush again. "I think I can handle this."
"Alright. I'll leave you to do whatever then. Hey they are all having a bonfire if you want to come later.."
I nod and he turns and walks out but stops at the door. "Hey Yuki?"
"Yeah?"
"If you need anything I'm here. I'll protect you and I won't let anyone touch you okay? I'm always here if you need anything." He walks out closing the door behind him.
I sit on my new bed with his shirt in my hands shocked. Did he really just say that? Oh my. I shake my head and take off my shirt and pants and put on Minho's shirt. Minho is a lot taller than me, I only go to his chest so his shirt falls down halfway to my knees. I crawl into bed and think for a bit. I think of how far I have come from the day I was sent into to the maze to now. I smile because I know my life is changing. I can't help but think of Minho also.
I shake my head and start to fall asleep. Even though I don't want to admit it. I know I'm starting to fall for him.
