Promises

What Are We Waiting For...

Newt was running as fast as he could. He couldn't keep it bottled up any longer. Every time someone said his name, his chest burned. Teresa was an amazing person, and out of everyone in Paradise, she deserved the most. 

He arrived at a cabin. "Should I really tell someone," Newt thought. He shook it off and knocked on the door. "No going back now", he whispered. "

The door opened. "Hey you ugly shank!" Minho pulled Newt in for a hug. "Whats up." Newt took a deep breath, "we need to talk...alone." Minho nodded slowly, and closed the door behind Newt. They went to the kitchen and sat at the counter. 

Before Newt could say anything, Minho said, "whats that little red, blinking thing on your neck. It looks like a camera. IS THIS A PRANK!" Newt immediately looked down and felt his neck. "mirror?" he questioned. Minho pointed to the one on the wall. 

Newt examined the device. He didn't know what it was. Until it hit him. "WCKD", he thought. "Ok, Minho before i say anything, I need you to get this camera out of my neck." Minho pulled out a drawer and took out a first aid bag. "Its gonna hurt a little, but I promise I won't cause any extra harm. Just stay calm." Newt sighed and sat back down. 

After 10 minutes of Minho grunting and Newt squirming, the camera was finally out and was disposed of. Newt took a deep breath of relief and looked at Minho. Before he told Minho, Newt had to clear some things up, "Minho what I'm about to tell you will be really hard for you to understand, but all i need you to do is listen, and you can ask questions when I'm done." Minho nodded.

"I wasn't alone when i woke up. Once I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital bed hooked up to a machine in a white room. After a little while, a man walked in, " Newt paused, " Jansen's brother.  He told us that he was apart of WCKD and that they weren't done." "us?" Minho questioned. Newt gave him a look and just continued, " immediately after he walked in, he told me that I would be joining you guys in the Paradise in a few hours. That's how I got here." Minho looked confused. "and you're right, I wasn't alone. She was with me. Teresa." Minho stood up from his chair and grabbed his hair, almost like he was going to rip it out. "TERESA. THE BETRAYER. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING WITH HER. SHE DESERVES TO BE DEAD. AND ALONE!" Newt started to tear up, he pulled Minho back to his seat and just stared at the ground for a moment. He continued,

"She's the reason I'm alive. Minho, she found the cure. Not only that, but she helped me get back to you shanks. Teresa felt horrible about how she left us and she still doesn't forgive herself. SHE FOUND THE CURE MINHO! All we did was abandon her and forget her. Before I left, they dragged her away. Jansen's brother said that she would never see us again, and kept telling her that her only purpose was to find the cure. Not to be loved, or to love anyone. He kept torturing her with the thought of Tommy as well. Anyways, I promised myself that I would save her, but she told me to drop it, because it would be better off if you guys thought she was dead. She said you would be happier. Minho, its been nearly two months since i left her there to suffer. SHE DOESN'T DESERVE ANY OF IT. "

 Minho took a moment, but he realized that Newt was right. Minho had actually grown quite fond of Teresa for the short time that he knew her. He had nothing against her until the Scorch. Even then, he still cared for her a little. Teresa had always been kind and encouraging to him. All she wanted was to help people, and they had abandoned her because of that. 

"she's like a sister to me, Minho", Newt was sobbing. He couldn't stop. 

Minho opened the door and looked at Newt, "then what are we waiting for. Let's go get our sister back!"
