Hey guys, so I can't believe that this book has gotten almost 500 reads. Thank you so much. I know that might not seem like a lot to most people, but to me I can't be more than grateful for all the people that have read, commented and voted. It means so much.
Anyway enjoy this chapter, another one I had fun writing.

*~*~*~*~*
I stood there, not knowing what to do. I never wanted him to find out like this.
I looked up at Newt through my lashes.
He stared at me with wide eyes. "Wh- what?"
More tears started flowing down cheers as I took a few steps back.
The one thing I was scared about doing had just happened right in front of me.
I turned and bolted for the door as Newt began walking towards me.
"Elizabeth!" He called out to me, but I had no intention of turning back.
I ran through the Homestead and into the Glade. I didn't care where my legs were taking me. I just wanted to get away from here.
I had just let the biggest secret I have been keeping slip from my lips. Even worse, Newt told me he didn't want a sister.
What was I going to do now?
I ran into the forest and climbed the first tree I saw. I just wanted to be alone right now. I didn't want Thomas, or Teresa. I just wanted to be by myself.
The minute I got to one of the top branches, I sat down and let the tears fall freely, sobbing hysterically.
I felt as though my whole world had just come crashing down. Not only had my secret been blabbed, but my own brother just said he didn't want a sister. I wasn't sure if anything could be any worse.
I should've just snuck out with Thomas and Minho this morning. Either way Newt would hate me, but at least if I went with the 2 Runners, Newt wouldn't know the truth.
I sat there sobbing for a long while until I had no more tears to give and leant back against the trunk of the tree.
I started to hum to myself, not having anything else to do, before lyrics started coming to me.
I didn't know how I knew them. I just did.
You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us
Another start
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alive
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Was it all in my fantasy
Where are you now
Were you only imaginary
Where are you now
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now
Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
These shallow waters, never met
What I needed
I'm letting go
A deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea
I'm breathing
Alive
Where are you now
Where are you now
Under the bright
But faded lights
You set my heart on fire
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now
Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
I stopped singing and hid my face in my hands as another wave of tears flowed down my cheeks.
I couldn't believe how much of a mess I had made things.
What was I going to do now?
