The Truth Behind it All - MAZE RUNNER FAN FIC

Chapter Five

I sat by Thomas's bedside for days as he went through the Changing, every so often he would thrash around for a few seconds before stopping instantly like turning a switch on and off. After a couple of days, he began to stir, not like he had been. It was like he was going to wake up any minute. I opened the door and told a Medjack outside the door to get Newt, Alby, Minho and Teresa immediately. He nodded and flew down the stairs. I closed the door and ran to Thomas's side. I waited for a minute or two before Newt burst into the room, he stood behind me. Then it was Alby, he stood on the oposite side of the bed. Finally, Minho and Teresa burst into the room. Teresa knelt beside me and locked her eyes onto Thomas. I guess Thomas wasn't kidding when he said he thought he knew her, it looked like she was in love with him. Suddenly, he woke up. He sat up panting and sweating, he was panicking and breathing heavily. Teresa carefully placed her hand on his, he jumped and turned to look at her. He took a deep breath and calmed down, I stood up and placed my hand on his shoulder. He turned to me and smiled sympathetically. He said he needed Newt and Alby to call a meeting immediately before he forgot anything. Of course I wasn't allowed to attend the meeting, I wasn't important enough. I walked around the Glade with my hands in my pockets, for some reason my eyes always came back to the Map room where the meeting was taking place. I ended up lying on my bed in the homestead tossing a round stone into the air towards the ceiling and catching it. I must of been there for hours because when I finally decided to leave for food after I couldn't take my stomach grumbling anymore, it was breakfast. Everyone was there, not one person had noticed I was gone. I walked over to Frypan, grabbed my food and sat by myself. There wasn't any other seats for me anyway. I ate before returning my utensils to Frypan and taking a walk, I walked around for a while and tried to find Thomas, I didn't find him. I looked around for ages before going up to our room. Thats when I saw him.

'Hey Ethan! I haven't seen you since yesterday! Where did you go?' he asked cheerfully.

'Looking for you, waiting for you to come to bed last night, surviving...' I grumbled before lying down and turning to face the wall.

'Come on Ethan, don't be like that. Sorry I didn't come to bed last night, I fell and passed out on the way back from the meeting. Medjacks say I'm fine,' he said as I felt him sit on the end of my bed.

'Alright fine, I'm sorry,' I smiled as I turned back over and sat up.

We talked for ages before medjacks and Minho came to check on us.

'We're fine, I'm taking care of Tommy. Make sure he doesn't faint again!' I laughed as he punched my arm. 

Minho shook his head as he pushed the medjacks out the door. A few hours later I left and brought back food for the both of us. We talked for a while longer before Minho and Newt burst into the room.
