Ok guys... Please comment! I'm gonna make it a friendship for now.

It's been four months.
You have a spear, a bow and arrows, and you are accustomed to the forest. You've been doing the gladers jobs at night, they give you some cooked food in return.
You could cook, but you wouldn't be able to stay long enough without anyone seeing or smelling.

You're sitting in a tree, singing.

"I've paid my dues
Time after time.
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime.
And bad mistakes ‒
I've made a few."
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face.
And I need just go on and on, and on, and on..."

"We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world."

"I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls.
You brought me fame and fortune, and everything that goes with it.
I thank you all.
But it's been no bed of roses,
No pleasure cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race,
And I ain't gonna lose.
And I need just go on and on, and on, and on..."

"We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world."

"We are the champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
We are the champions.
We are the champions.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions.
Of the world..."

And then an excited voice calls from below.
"Newt! Dude! She can sing!" It's Minho.
"I know! I heard!"
You freeze. Oh gods no. Oh gods oh gods oh gods no.
Then he starts climbing.
"Minho! You're gonna either scare her or she'll kill you!"
You grab hold of the branch and swing to the next tree.
And the next.
And the next. Still, he keeps coming.
"Wait!" *Pant pant* "I just wanna talk!" *Pant-pant*
You stop.
"Promise you won't hurt me or take me anywhere?" You call out uncertainty. "Yes!" He calls back. I just want to talk!" "Ok then. You have 5 minutes." You say.

3 months later...
You don't know how, but Minho and Newt managed to sweet talk you into visiting the glade once a month.
There is a bon-fire and a kareoke night when you do. Plus, you get to hangout with the other and new gladers.
You can beat Gally, outrun Minho, and slaughter any pig twice as fast as Winston.
Minho and Newt blabbed about you singing, and now everyone insists you preform.
Some boys are accually decent singers.
Newt has a pure voice, while Minho has a strong one.

---------------------time skip------------------------
Gods, you're going to kill those two. They're making you sing in front of the whole glade. But, luckily, you managed to convince them to sing too.

N=Newt M=Minho

Newt starts off softly:
Lost and defeated, but still I stand
My heart in pieces will beat again
There is a story written in the stars
That makes it worth it just to bear these scars

M: Left foot forward and then my right
It's not over, I've still got fight
You get that feeling when you cross that line
Like it was worth it just to take what's mine
Y/N: Brave enough to broken (oh-oh)
Can't see, but keep going, oh
Brave enough to be broken
There's no more fear inside
I threw my heart in the fire
I've never fallen from higher
But I'm still here
I'm still here
I threw my heart in the fire
I've never fallen from higher
But I'm still here
I'm still here
N: I've been through pain, but I'm still alive
Walked through the flames to the other side
M: You get that feeling when you cross that line
Like it was worth it just to take what's mine
Y/N: Brave enough to broken (oh-oh)
Can't see, but keep going, oh
Brave enough to be broken
There's no more fear inside
I threw my heart in the fire
I've never fallen from higher
But I'm still here
I'm still here
I threw my heart in the fire
I've never fallen from higher
But I'm still here
I'm still here
Oh, woah-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, woah-oh, oh, oh-oh
I'm still here
I'm still here
Oh, woah-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, woah-oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm still here (oh, woah-oh, oh, oh-oh)
I'm still here (oh, woah-oh)
I threw my heart in the fire
I've never fallen from higher
But I'm still here
I'm still here
I threw my heart in the fire
I've never fallen from higher
But I'm still here
I'm still here...
