Glader Woods NEWTMAS

Chapter 12

THOMAS POV:

The woods is actually created by witches or something. Mostly to curse humans. However there is a theory that the gladers can leave the woods if they have a good reason. Like seeing their soulmate. It sent chills down my spine. The woods has power though. It grows the fruit to heal anything. Even stuff we don't have a cure for. It only grows in the girl's side of the woods. They had a war and ended up splitting sides. The war was about how girls were still treated differently then boys. Which to be fair it was the 18 hundreds. However I'm sure that today the boys have moved on and would agree to treat the girls better. During the war the girls poisoned the bushes that grow the healing fruit so it wouldn't grow again on the boys side. Which means the girls used fruit from their side of the woods to heal me. I wonder why? I also wonder if Newt is my soulmate. He could be. I do love him. I finished and put the books back. I headed home and started to make some dinner. It was pretty late.

I poured myself a glass of juice and heard a sound from the hallway. I put the juice and cup down. I started walking over to the hallway slowly. "Mom" I asked. There was no response. I saw a figure enter my room. I followed them. I turned on my light and saw Newt holding my rubric cube. "Newt" I asked. Newt put it down and turned to me. Had he been crying? His face was a little red. Newt walked up to me. He looked into my eyes with anger. Newt pulled out a brownie that was wrapped in a napkin from his sweater pocket. I slowly took the brownie. "Newt what is this" I asked. Newt didn't respond. He just had tears in his eyes. I looked at the brownie in my hand and then at Newt. Newt put the brownie to my lips. I put the brownie in my mouth. Something inside me screamed not to eat the brownie. If I ever cared about Newt that is. I took the brownie out of my mouth and gave it back to Newt. He was surprised that I didn't eat it.

"I'm sorry Newt. I did what I thought was right. Maybe it wasn't but, I still love you. Can you ever forgive me" I asked. Newt said nothing and vanished with the brownie. I signed and left my room. I was relieved to see Newt but I guess he is still mad at me. I wish I could go back and not enter those shucking woods. Then again, if I did Minho wouldn't of found Ben and fell in love with him. Plus we would still be losers. I'm sure Minho is happy to be a glader. I remember seeing him smile. Not a fake or sarcastic smile he always gives it was a real smile. I went back to the kitchen and finished making the dinner. I tried to eat but I just kept thinking about Newt and the others. Maybe I should go back to glader woods and become a glader. As if they will accept me. They probably think I'm happy as could be with what I did and how I fooled all of them. I'm not happy. I ate dinner and then went to bed. I laid on the bed in pain. The gladers said something. Newt signed and kissed my lips. He put the numbing gel on my lips and after they were numb he turned me into a glader. Maybe it's what I wanted all along.
