Running (Thomas x Reader)

A girl named Teresa

You watched as the other Gladers take Alby from Thomas and Minho. Everyone seemed happy to see that not only Alby was alive but that you all managed to see out the night in the maze. You sighed as you watched them go, even Chuck followed along with Minho. This left you alone with the one person that didn't go past you and that was Thomas. "We need to talk (Y/N)" he said as he come to stand along side you. You turned your head towards him. "Yeah I think we do but could it wait untill I less get a change of clothes?" you laughed softly as you wondered if he wanted to talk about what was on your mind also, the kiss you shared back in the maze.

"alright, I'll meet you back here" Thomas said as he walked off ahead off you. You sighed softly, you felt so tired but you did really want to find out what he wanted to talk to you about. But before you could even head back to camp you heard the alarm for the box going off. "What on earth?" you muttered as you began to run over. You remerbered someone around the fire the night before last, saying that the box only come up monthly and you were pretty sure you hadn't been there that long.

As you reached it, you saw you were not alone, Thomas as well as Newt were running over. Once you got there, the three of you looked into the box. There laying on the bottom was another girl, near her was a note. Newt being Alby's second jumped down into the box, he went over to the note first. As he picked it up he opened it, you watched as his eye scanned the note before he handed it over to you. "she's the last ever" you read out. "Well I'm unsure if that's a good or..." before you could finish talking, she woke up. she didn't looked at neither you or Newt but right toward Thoman. "Thomas" she said sofly before she passed out. It was clear to you then, that you were not the only one who know Thomas before the Glade. As you stood there looking down at her your mind went fizzy as you began to remeber something.

*Flashback*

It had been three days from when you and Thomas last had a chance to be alone. Your work was taken up all your time or at least you though so. You brushed hair from out of your eyes before lifting your head up to look towards Thomas. You smiled before you looked back down to your work.

Next to him was of course the one person you didn't really like and that was Teresa. She hadn't done anything wrong but it was every time she looked at Thomas or even spoke yo him, you felt uneasy. Almost as if she was planning something. You spent most of your day at your station untill break come around. You wanted to ask Thomas if he'd like to eat with you but as you looked up, you saw he was already gone. But so was Teresa. You sighed as you got to your feet and headed out the room to find him. No soon had you done so you heard voices. You stopped around the corner from them. "I can't do this anymore" you heard the familiar voice of Thomas said. "Thomas we're so close to finding something" Teresa said. Your heart sunk in your chest as you closed your eyes. Your mind already thinking the worse, he was seeing her behind your mind. Before you could hear anymore you ran off.

*end of flashback*

"Y/N" Thomas said as he touched your arm, this of course brought you back out. Without thinking you brushed his hand off. "Are you alright?" he asked softly. You simply gave him a nodded. "Teresa" you muttered softly as you looked towards the girl. When you finally looked to Thomas he looked confused, you couldn't blame him. There was a good chance just like you, he didn't remember life before being put in the box and sent up into the Glade. You brushed hair from out of your eyes before you jumped into the box. "Come on, let's get her out of here" you said softly as with the help of Newt, you passed her up to Thomas. By now there were a fair few Gladers, a few went with Thomas to take the girl off to be seen too. "I have a bad feeling about all this" Newt told you, you couldn't help but nodded in agreement. That girl was bad news but you couldn't yet work out why.

One thing did go though your mind, how did she know Thomas. Once out of the box, you watch Newt go after them, most likely not only to check on the girl but Alby also. It was then you remembered the griever, yes it was an odd time to remember something like that. But when would you get another chance to check the creature out. Sure it was most likely firmly smashed to peices between the two parts of maze wall it was sandwiched between, but it did seem now was the best chance to look it over. You turned and looked towards Thomas. "I have an idea an insane one but an idea non the less" you said softly. Thomas turned around and looked towards you. His eyes were enough to make you melt on the spot but you had to look away again. Just to save yourself from blushing.

"What is it?" Thomas asked as he walked over to you, you of course looked up to him again. "Well I was thinking we go back into the maze" you said softly, you waited for the look of shock that you thought would appear on his face. But you never got one. All you got was a warm smile from him. "Your thinking what I'm. we need to look over the griever and hopeful learn from it" he said softly. "Couldn't agree with you more" you said to him, but know you both needed to talk about the kiss sooner or later. "Hmm can we talk?" you asked. Thomas looked over to you. "After, I'll just go get us some help. Meet you back at the maze entance" he said, it was then he reached forward and moved some lose hair from your eyes. "I like it better when I can see your eyes" he said before he jogged off. You felt your cheeks warm after he did this.
