First Time Maze Runner [Newt Love Story]

Hidden Room

Thomas's POV

Why was it that everything around here involved Maddie?

Why was she so connected to this place?

She mentioned she felt as if she created this place, a lot of things showed proof that she did, but his little sister couldn't do that right?

Everything was just so confusing, nothing made sense, but at the same time it did.

"Where the hell did that door come from?" Newt huffed, pulling Maddie close, he lost her once he wasn't going to lose her again.

"I don't know, how did you know your charm went there?" Minho questioned, looking at Maddie.

Thomas just looked at the door, then at his sister.

"Everyone here has a charm, I think once we take the advantage and go into this little room, our charms will unlock each door." Maddie explained, thinking it out through the process.

Newt thought about it and nodded along with her.

"She has a point." He admitted.

Thomas on the other hand, just stared at the door.

"What if it's a trap.." He spoke up finally, making eye contact with everyone.

"What do you mean a 'trap'?" Aris broke into the converstation.

Aris was so quiet and so kept to himself everyone always forgot he was even in the same dorm as them.

"Don't you think it's weird how we're all of a sudden finding a hidden door?" Thomas protested, looking at them all.

"Aren't they usually called 'trap doors.' Also?" He concluded, crossing his arms.

"Thomas does have a point." Minho nodded, grabbing Thomas's hand.

Since everthing that has happened to them in the past week, they hadn't been able to spend so much time with eachother.

"How about this, we worry about the door tomorrow or later today, right now, we just need to relax and spend some quality time." Newt suggested, giving Maddie a small peck on the cheek.

Everyone protested at first, but as time went on and they actually thought about it, it sounded like a good idea.

Thomas and Minho went to their bunk where they wrapped themselves together and just cuddled and talked.

Newt and Maddie went to their bunk and Newt engulfed Maddie in his warm embrace, kissing her cheek.

She smiled and buried her face into the crook of his neck, wrapping her arm loosely around his waist.

"Newt.." She murmured, her body slowly relaxing.

"Hmm?" He hummed, he was too busy playing with her hair.

"What if this is a sign?" She played with the back of his shirt.

"What kind of sign? Like, a warning sign or.." He questioned, pulling her closer to himself.

"A sign that either things will or won't be okay." She managed to spit out and she looked up at him.

"What if we actually can get out of here, but I don't make it out with you." She spoke quietly, her eyes glossing over.

"Maddie.. Don't say that. We're all going to get out of here, and once we do, everything will be alright." He assured her and kissed her forehead.

"I hope you're right Newt." She sighed, looking at him once again.

He looked back at her and slowly leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

She smiled slightly, kissing him back softly.

That is ti'll they heard a loud groan.

"Do you guys ALWAYS have to be kissing when it's dead quiet?" Minho exaggerated, but giving a small grin.

"Well yes, yes we do." Newt grinned slightly, leaning back to Maddie and kissing her again.

Minho raised his eyebrows then turned to Thomas.

He thought for a moment before crashing his lips against Thomas's.

Aris on the other hand sat uncomfrontably on his bunk.

After a few minutes had passed, everyone was asleep.

It had been a long day, even if they hadn't gone exploring.

Doing a lot of work in one week is exhausting.

Everyone was fast asleep, warm and cozy with eachother, besides for Aris who was snuggled up with a pillow.

***DREAM***

"I want to go into the room." Maddie complained, looking at her older brother.

"Maddie it isn't safe, something about this hidden room doesn't feel right and I don't want you to go in there." Thomas protested, crossing his arms.

"Thomas, what if it's our way out of here, we could finally go home." Maddie exclaimed, looking at her brother.

"I know Newt wouldn't approve of this and I know the rest won't either. You are not allowed to go into their until we know more." Thomas ordered, looking at her sternly.

"You are the worst!" She yelled, tears falling down her cheeks.

"All I'm trying to do is help, and you won't even let me do that!" She cried, her hands clenched into fists.

Thomas watched her, a sadness seeping into his heart.

Those four little words, hitting him so hard.

"Maddie.. We just want to protect you.." Thomas choked out, a hurt expression all over his face.

"Thomas.. I-I'm so sorry.." Maddie studdered, guilt washing over her.

"I didn't mean it- I swear!" She cried, running up to him and hugging him tight.

Thomas hugged her back but said nothing.

That only made her cry harder, she didn't mean what she said, she was only angry at him.

But now she ruined everything she once had.

***DREAM OVER***

Thomas woke up, sweating, breathing heavy.

Why did he keep having these dreams?

Did they mean something?

It was quite early in the morning, he decided it was best to try to go back to sleep.

But all he could think about, was that hidden room.

It had a secret.

A dark, secret.
