Lost

The Talk

It was afternoon, almost evening but Thomas and Minho weren't back yet. I ran to all the doors, still can't find them. I was worried, or more like feeling terrified because the doors were about to close.
'No one has ever survived a night in the Maze.' Newt's words echoed in my head. He told me at the bonfire. The Grievers- half spiders, half robots come out at night, they kill whatever that comes in their way. That's why if the Runners don't make it back in time, they are as good as dead.
" Thomas! Minho! Has anyone seen them?" tears running down my cheeks, but I don't care. All I cared was their safety.
Thomas might be the only family member I have left. I can't lose him!
Newt ran up to me, however his limp slowed him down.
" Newt, do you see Thomas or Minho anywhere? " sadly, no news on his side either.
" Doors will close in half an hour." he said, not even looking at me. So we waited, since it's against the rules to go into the Maze for us. Suddenly, we saw two figures running toward us. It were the two missing Runners ! They made it back into the Glade.
" I thought I lost you, you slinthead!" I cried in Thomas's arms and he hugged me back.
" Sorry, sis. There was a Griever on our way back. Please stop crying, I hate it when you cry."
" Wait... Sis?" the blonde looked confused and shocked. I looked back at him.
" I had a dream last night and I remembered Thomas. He's my older brother." Minho jogged in our direction.
" Wow! Since when did you have such a hot sister? " the Asian boy winked at me.
" Hey, back off ! No one's allowed to hit on my sister! You will have to go through me first ! " Thomas, being an overprotective brother, hugged me even harder and gave the boys a dead stare.
" Tom... Tom... Brother ! You are squeezing me ! I can't breathe ! " I complained.
" Sorry, little sis. " he slowly let go, still gives the other two stares.
" How did you remember me, big bro?"
Now that I think about it, he didn't tell me anything !
" It was the moment I saw you so I remembered, I was just waiting for you to remember. " I raised my eyebrows.
" And what if I never remember you ?"
" Then I guess sooner or later I would tell you myself."
I could tell that Newt was staring at me the whole time.
" Nikie ? " the blonde asked. I turned around.
" Yeah ? "
" Can we talk ? "
" Sure." he looked at Thomas then back at me.
" In private ?"  I just nodded and followed him.
Newt's P. O. V.
I saw Nikie ran to him. To Tommy, one of my best friend... and love rival.
" I thought I lost you, you slinthead ! " she said with that sweet voice that I couldn't get enough of to Tommy while hugging him.
I felt my heart sink.
So that's it ? After everything I have done for her, she chose him ?
I didn't know what to say. My mind was blank, nothing matters anymore until Tommy replied.
" Sorry, sis. There was a Griever on our way back. Please stop crying, I hate it when you cry."
I came toward them and was shocked.
" Wait... Sis ?" Nikie looked back at me with a smile that could melt my heart. She explained that Tommy's her brother.
" Wow ! Since when did you have such a hot sister ? " I mentally rolled my eyes.
Great !  Now I have a new bloody love rival to deal with !
Tommy warned us to back off of his sister and gave both Minho and me nasty looks. The two continued to disgust how Tommy remembered her when I finally had enough.
" Nikie ?"
It's now or never. I thought.
" Yeah ?"  just looking at her takes my breath away.
" Can we talk ?"
" Sure." I looked at Tommy and then back to her.
" In private ?"  I ignored another nasty look from Tommy and walked away. I need to tell her. She needs to know I love her.
