We all sit on the hill, not knowing what to do anymore. Minho had been taken. Aris had been taken. Mary had been killed. The Immunes were gone. The Right Arm camp was destroyed. Nothing was there. Newt was holding me close to him and kissing me on the head whilst rubbing my back.
"We've lost haven't we?" I say
"I don't know, tonight for sure, but I don't know" Newt replies
I then feel a hand on my shoulder and I see Thomas standing there. I then pull both of the boys into a hug. I wouldn't know what I'd do without them in my life. We then let go of each other.
"You should get that bullet out of your shoulder" Thomas says
"Yeah, just haven't got around to it" I say
"Vince!" Thomas yells and Vince comes over
"Right the bullet, let's get it out of you shall we" Vince says and I walk with him to where the first aid was. Newt and Thomas both come with me.
"This is going to hurt a lot, just keep that in mind" Vince says and Newt grabs my hand.
"You're gonna be ok (nickname)" Thomas says to me.
Vince then inserts the tweezers and I cringe as he pulls the bullet out of my shoulder. I'm pretty sure I broke Newt's hand I squeezed it so hard.
"There, it's out. Just gotta clean it up" Vince says
"Gee I'm glad that's over, I'm pretty sure all my bones just got crushed in my hand" Newt says and Thomas laughs and claps him in the shoulder.
"Well I'm glad you had that job then" Thomas smirks and Newt rolls his eyes.
Vince then cleans my wound and bandages it up.
"That should stop the bleeding. It's the best we can do for your injury" Vince says
"Thanks Vince" I say and stand up and go back to the others with Newt and Thomas. Those few seconds of humour between Thomas and Newt had again vanished like it was never there and we were back into the miserable feeling in the air. I then notice Newt doing something. As we walk back to the others. He starts shaking his head slightly and his frown increases. He might just be tired or something, I don't let it worry me.
"Hey (Y/N), how's that shoulder of yours?" Brenda asks coming over to me
"Very sore but I'll live"
"So they really took Minho" Frypan says
"Yeah, but he'll fight them. He is strong" I say
"I put the blame on Thomas for him being taken" I hear Newt mumble angrily and he starts pacing. I was now starting to worry. I don't think I was the only one who heard him though.
"What was that Newt?" Thomas asks
"You're at fault for Minho being taken" Newt says louder
"Me at fault? How am I at fault for this?"
"Because if you hadn't of let Teresa come with us then this wouldn't of happened. I told you to leave her but you didn't!" Newt yells and shoves Thomas
"We wouldn't find out any answers if we didn't Newt!"
"Who needs answers Thomas? We still have none! We don't know why they did what they did to us, why they attacked the camp and why all this even happened. Where are those answers?"
"That's not even the point Newt!"
"The point huh? You want to to know what the point is. The point of this is that if you hadn't of helped Wicked in the first place then we would all still be here and most likely better off!" Newt yells shutting everyone up and Thomas was shocked that Newt had said this. I was shocked. Newt was the one in the glade that had said, who we were before the maze no longer mattered.
"Newt that's enough! What has gotten into you? Before you and Thomas were having a laugh and now you're fighting? What is with you? Come on Thomas, don't listen to him" I say grabbing my brother's arm and walking away from Newt leaving Newt standing there and then he walked off.
"Don't listen to Newt Thomas. I don't know what's up with him" I say as we sit down on a rock.
"He's right though, this is all my fault"
"No it's not. It's all on Wicked. It's Ava's and Janson's not yours. They forced you to do it"
"I'm sorry"
"It's ok" I say and hug my brother.
Not once had Thomas and Newt fought over anything so why now? Why had they changed?
