The Girl in the Maze

Ch 11

Okay so I changed Sky's boyfriend to Newt, sorry to all the hopefulls out there who wanted me to give
Y/N Newt as a boyfriend. But since no one has replied to my question of love or survival, I'm keeping the story newtral. (Pun intended.)

I was at the bonfire with everyone else. I had started off with the electric, then put that away and brought out the acoustic.
"Okay, guys!" I called. "Everyone clear the floor except for those two lovebirds!" I said, gesturing to Newt and Sky.
They both blushed.

What the bloody hell are you doing?

Just... Making it interesting.

I don't know if I trust your idea of interesting.
Last time I said okay to your interesting, we went into the maze and you fought all except for two grievers.

That was just one time, bloody hell!

I still don't trust your idea of interesting.

Yeah, well. You can't back down from this one.

She sends an evil glare my way.
One that she took on from me, unfortunately.

Too bad.
I tell her.

Then I pick up the acuostic and start to strum.

"There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all"

"But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more"

"Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more."

By the end of the song Newt and Sky are slow dancing. They fall apart, bright red.

"And now here's another song for all you cheesy idiots!"

"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world
To find you"

"If you ever find yourself stuck in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light
To guide you"

"Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need"

"You can count on me
like one two three
I'll be there...
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there
'Cuz that's what friends are supposed to do
oh yeah"

"Ooohhhh
Ooohhhh
Ooh yeah yeah"

"If you're tossin' and you're turning and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song
Beside you"

"If you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will
Remind you"

"Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

"You can count on me
like one two three
I'll be there...
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there
'Cuz that's what friends are supposed to do
Oh yeah"

"Ooohhhh
Ooohhhh
Ooh yeah yeah"

"Ooh
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need"

"You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah"

Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah

"You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go
Never say goodbye
You know you can"

"You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
And you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah"

"Oh, oh
You can count on me 'cause I can count on you"

Everybody's sort of humming along by then, joining the simple melody.
It's nice, thinking that everyone can make the melody, add to it, even if they've never heard it before.
Everyone.
It makes us a family.
