The Maze Runner Imagines

Cheat on You with Teresa | Minho | Part Two

Step one, pretend you don't know.

You sat at dinner by yourself. Minho was still gone. You didn't want to think about anything they might be doing. You stirred the stew, not really feeling hungry.

"Hey y/n," Thomas had his own bowl of food in his hands. He placed it right across from you and looked at you as if asking if he could sit. You nodded your head without really looking at him again.

"Uh, how are you?" He was looking directly at you. He seemed worried for some reason. You looked at him and gave him your best smile.

"I'm okay, Thomas and yourself?" You continued to twirl the spoon in the stew with your right hand, while your left hand rested on the table balled in a fist. You were digging your nails into the palm of your hand. Thomas's right hand landed on top of your left hand. His hand was cold on top of your warm one.

Slowly, he opened your hand, so that it was no longer in a fist. You looked up and stared directly at Thomas.

"I—um," you saw him gulp, "I saw what happened. I'm sorry if I was overstepping, but I saw you walk out there alone. I uh I always see you. I decided to follow you like I always do..." after he sees the look on your face he continues quickly, "After what happened with Ben! Not like a weirdo . . . I didn't want anything to happen to you. So, I followed you again and well . . . I saw what Minho was doing."

You bit your lip and looked back at the Stew. That was definitely embarrassing. You always told Thomas that you couldn't hang out because you were waiting for Minho. Now, you both know that while you were waiting for Minho, he was hiding somewhere with her.

It just clicked why it was weird that Thomas was always out "early".

You wanted to cry all over again, but you couldn't show anyone how heartbroken you really were. Instead you looked up at Thomas with a warm smile and rubbed his hand.

"I'm okay, really. Thank you for looking out for my, Tommy." You heard was still in his.

"Whoa! What's going on here?" Minho chuckled. He wrapped his arm around you. Thomas instantly backed his hand away. You couldn't help but clench your jaw.

"Nothing," you said through gritted teeth, "where were you?"

"Looking for you. I found this," Minho took the crushed bracelet out of his pocket. "You dropped it without noticing," Minho scooted away so that he could put it on you, but you shook your head.

"Nah, I threw it away on purpose," you smiled at Minho. For a moment, he looked upset.

"Oh.." he scratched the back of his head, "why?"

You did your best to look eager, "Oh because..." you weren't sure what to say. You turned to look at Thomas and smiled, "Thomas is making me one! Isn't that awesome?"

You noticed Minho clench his jaw. You smiled wider. Slinthead.

"Is that true, Thomas?" Minho said through gritted teeth. He did his best to smile, but you knew him . . . or at least you thought you did.

"Uh, yeah. I mean that bracelet is old and it's not that pretty anyway. She was telling me how much she hated it, so we tossed it while we were walking."

Yes, Thomas. You couldn't help but smile at him. You were thankful that he didn't tell Minho the truth.

"You were with her?" He raised his voice, but then turned to you. "I thought you took those by yourself? You told me it's what you did while I was gone because . . . you missed me," he seemed hurt. You wanted to laugh. This boy had hidden so much from you.

All you did was love him, yet he took advantage of that and went and cheated on you. Suddenly, you felt sad again. You wanted to hug Minho and cry in his arms.

Stupid.

"Yeah. Thomas is actually great company. I love hanging out with him. She's so funny, sweet, and so good l—" you pretended to act like you were about to blurt something out.

"What?" Minho was staring at you with disbelief in his eyes. He was clenching his jaw again.

He is staring at me with disbelief in his eyes? I know you cheated!

"Nothing. It was nothing," you stated to irritate him.

You were tired again. You thought it would be fun to mess with him, but the more you spend time with him the worse it gets. He cheated on you. He cheated on you. cheated on you.

"y/n, baby, why are you crying?" Minho tried to wipe away the tears you didn't know you had, but you pushed him away. He was surprised.

Thomas had come around the table. He pulled you into a hug.

"Don't touch her," Minho didn't bother to hide his jealousy anymore. He pushed Thomas back.

"You, out of all people, need to shut up. You're an asshole, Minho. You had everything."

Well now he knows that you know.

Thomas hugged you again, but this time helped you on your feet. You were grateful for Thomas. You didn't understand why you never paid enough attention to him.

Minho stood where he had been just staring at Thomas taking you away. He seemed to realize what it was all about because he cursed.

"Y/n, please let me explain, please," Minho was now besides the two of you. Thomas had a protective arm around your waist. "She means nothing to me, y/n! I swear it. Let me make it right."

You laughed heartlessly, tears were still cascading down your cheeks.

"Don't worry, Minho. I have Thomas. He's all I need." You didn't even have to look to know that it hurt him that you said that.

Step two, crush his heart like he crushed yours.
