THOMAS POV:

Bark sat by my feet. He put his paw on my leg. He can tell when I'm upset. I closed my eyes and hugged Bark. He still had a cast on his leg. I still remember when I first met Bark. Newt was there. After the meeting was over it was confirmed that I will still be a runner once my head is healed. I also had to explain what happened that night. I told everyone about the griever and how I saw Newt. They all brushed it off as it might of just been his ghost or something. I rested in my hammock for the rest of the day. I let the gladers play with Bark while I rest. He was trained to do many things like shake, sit, lay down, and so on. They played fetch with Bark. I swear the glade might send up puppies or a female dog and they have puppies. Come to think of it I don't know if Bark was fixed or not. It doesn't matter. At night we all fell asleep. I slowly opened my eyes. "Newt" I mumbled. "Hey Tommy" said Newt.

I bolted up and hugged Newt crying. Newt rubbed my back and tried to calm me down. I relaxed and held Newt in my arms. Newt sat in my hammock and held me. I could still read his lips. "I have to tell you something Tommy" said Newt. "What" I asked. "Not here, let's go to the bon fire area okay" asked Newt. I nodded and we stood up. Newt had his crutches. Bark did wake up but I told him that he can go back to sleep. So he did. Newt and I walked to the bon fire area and sat down. "So, what is it" I asked. "Well, the box comes up tomorrow but I want you to come down in it" said Newt. "Why" I asked. "Because, I have a surprise waiting for you at WCKD but they will send him back" said Newt. "Him" I asked. "I can't say who" said Newt. "I can't go down there Newt. You died and how did you get a cast" I asked. "Tommy, the maze has to end sometime. WCKD is working on getting you out of the maze and I did get surgery to fix my leg" said Newt.

"But this isn't real. I saw a griever drag you away. You aren't even here are you" I asked. Newt laid me down and laid on top of me. He started kissing my neck. "Newt" I moaned. Newt kept kissing and I'm sure the hickey will be very noticeable. If this was real. Newt finally stopped and sat up. "You can't just kiss my neck like that and be done" I said annoyed as I sat up. Newt thought for a bit. "Well, we can continue if you top" said Newt. I smashed my lips on Newt's and tackled him. We did it and then both snuggled. I laid with Newt in my arms. "If this is a dream I never want to wake up" I said. Newt smiled. He put his hand on my cheek. "I'll see you again Tommy. Just remember I love you and it's all in your head" said Newt. He kissed my forehead and I fell asleep. I was in my hammock with my clothes on. I got up and went to the bathroom. WCKD has sent shower stuff and toothbrushes. I entered the bathroom and looked in the mirror. There was a hickey on my neck. I was surprised. It's the same spot Newt kissed me.
