5. Don't touch me right now
27. Is there someone else? Don't lie.

It was late at night and my thoughts were keeping me awake. The room was filled with the soft snores of the other gladers and I was of corse the only one still up. We were staying in an abandoned building in the Scorch for the night and I was laying in my sleeping bag staring at the ceiling. I thought about everything. I thought about the future and what it'll be like when this is all over. I thought about what if I don't make it that far and what could even possibly happen after we get through this. But the main thought that kept me up is Minho. I look over at Minho who was sleeping a few feet away and sigh to myself. He's been really distant lately. I thought that maybe it was just because he was in serious mode to survive but he was only acting this way around me. He was still the same Minho to everyone else. Especially, Brenda. I was worried that maybe he lost feelings for me and had some for her. Ever since I came up in the box, we've been super close and eventually became more than friends. Lately it seems like him and Brenda are closer now than we are. I could always tell when sometime is wrong with him or bothering him, and I'm afraid that it's me.

I hear ruffling which causes me to sit up and look over to see Minho turning in his sleeping bag. "Hey, what are you still doing up?" He asks while rubbing his eyes.

I don't reply and look at the ground.

He sits up, "what's wrong?" He crawls over to me. He goes to place a hand on my shoulder but I stop him.

"Don't touch me right now" I say with a blank expression, not looking up at him.

He's taken back. "Are you ok?" He pauses and a worrier expression appears on his face. "Y/N do you have the Flare?"

I shake my head "No"

He sighs in relief, " Then what's wrong."

I was embarrassed to tell him, mostly just afraid to find out the truth.

I look up at him. "Is there someone else? Don't lie"

"What? Who else would there be?"

I point at Brenda who was sleeping across the room.

He chuckles, "Please tell me you're joking"

I don't reply.

He sighs, "If you haven't noticed, her and Thomas have something going on between them"

"Oh but if they didn't you would-"

"No that's not what I'm saying" he cuts me off

"Even if you didn't like her, do you still like me?"

"Why would you think that I wouldn't?"

"Lately, you've been distance. I thought maybe you lost feelings" I said and looked at the ground again.

"Y/N" Minho says as he puts his hand under my chin and makes me look up on at him "I could never loose feelings for you. I knew you meant so much to me when I first met you. Not Brenda, or Teresa, or anyone could take those feelings away. I've been distance because....I'm scared. I want to have a future with you and everyone else here, but there's just so much going on. I don't want to get distracted and get someone or myself killed. I'm sorry for being distant, I guess that just how I cope with what I'm feeling. I guess I thought being serious and all business would get us through this. I didn't know that it was affecting you."

Looking into his eyes makes me forget about everything. It feels like the whole world is just me and him and that nothing bad is happening.

"We're gonna get through this. I know it"

Minho smiles, "You're right. I love you so much."

Next thing I know, his lips are on mine.

"Would you two bloody shut up and get some sleep" I hear Newt say from across the room, which causes us to laugh.

I knew that everything will be alright. I knew that we were gonna get through this.
