"Oh hey Lovebirds!" I heard Newt say as he came over to us.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked confused of the term "lovebirds". I looked over at Thomas and he just scratched his neck.
"Oh nothing it means nothing" Thomas said before Newt could say anything else.
"Well Green- I put a finger up to Newt. He looked stunned.
"Y/n that's my name nothing else" I said and put my finger down.
"I'm pretty sure that's her thing putting a finger up and, shutting you up and then her speaking her mind because she's done that to me and now you." Thomas said laughing a bit. I smiled at his comment I think it is my thing.
"Or it's just because your the only girl and we don't wanna be a shuck face. We want you to have a voice too." Newt said smiling then something behind me caught his eye he instantly got serious. I looked behind me and Thomas turned too. I saw Gally walk over to me and he gripped my shoulders and shoved me to the ground. He looked at my jacket which the light blue was an orange looking from the flames. I got up but, my arms were soon bounded by someone. I tried kicking them off but, that did work. I was surprisingly still standing by how hard they were fourcing me down to the ground. Which they failed but, there grip was another power I couldn't win. When I tried to escape there fingers would tighten around my wrist and I winced. I forgot about the thing that was in my pocket I remember telling myself to look at it when I had the chance but, I never thought much of. Gally must have seen what ever it was. He took the folded peace of paper and opened it. He looked shocked. He turned it to me and it read.

She's the last one EVER

I read over it again and I looked up at him and his face was infuriated with anger. 
"I knew it! You had something to do with this place!" He screamed at me. I looked at Newt and Thomas and they were about to step in.
"Leave her alone she probably didn't know anything about it." Thomas said calmly. Gally looked at Thomas then looked at me. He staired me in the eyes again.
"Did you"
"No" I said too quietly.
"DID YOU!" He screamed again. I got angry and I screamed back at him.
"NO! I didn't you asshole!"
He staired in my eyes and I staired back. He sighed and the person who bounded me let me go. I glared at them and rubbed my wrist. My wrist in the faint light of the fire they were red and they had the biggest mark. I looked at Gally and to expect another lecture but, I saw him and his goons just walking to the Homestead. I sighed looking at my wrist again. I saw Thomas and Newt come over to me with worried looks.
"Are you bloody alright?" Newt asked I nodded and tried to hide my wrist by keeping them behind my thighs. I hoped they wouldn't notice. I then saw Thomas looks at me weirdly. He noticed me hiding my hands and got in front of me and grabbed them I winced at his rough hands. Newt and Thomas gave me a horrified look. My eyes started to tear at his grip on my wrist. Which was light but, it was that badly hurt that I couldn't bare someone touching them.
"Y/n..." they both said.
"Thomas... My ... Wrists" I said and Thomas instantly dropped them a tear left my eye running down my cheek. They both looked so worried for me.
"Guy please don't give me that look don't let me ruin your night!" I pleaded they looked at each other. They looked at me and smiled but, still looking a little worried. We soon were seated on a log I was in the middle of them Thomas on my right and Newt on my left. I ate a few moments ago and it was delicious. Newt had a drink in his hand and handed it to Thomas. He took a huge swing and coughed some of it up.
"That was shucking disgusting!" He yelled. I tried to hold in a giggle and I managed.
"I don't even know what Shucking or Shuck or whatever you said but, I love it!" I said smiling and then eyeing the drink Newt seems to notice.
"Wanna try some Gree - y/n?" He said almost calling me Greenie again. I shrugged my shoulders and took the big glass. I took a tiny sip and it burned my throat but, the taste was so tasteful I needed a big swig. I swallowed falling in love with this taste. I stopped when the glass was almost gone. Thomas looked at me like I just killed someone.
"The taste is good just the bitterness in your throat I love it!" I said trying to sound artistic. I earned a chuckle from the boys.
"That my friend is the term of being drunk" Newt said. I didn't quite know what he meant. I handed the glass to Newt and he finished it off. I felt light headed.
I looked at Thomas and he looked at me shaking his head again and laughing. He was really cute. I felt like I'd known him for years. I leaned closer to him and I poked him in the cheek and Thomas looked at me weirdly. I giggled quietly. He had never heard me laugh and that was just a giggle he smiled at me.
"Hey can I ask something" I said to both of them. They both nodded.
"Is there any like things out there?" I asked.
"Well we call them Grivers. There nasty looking things Tommy over here killed one when he wasn't supposed to - he eyed Thomas- go into the Maze but, he helped some lives so he's a Runner now." I was amazed with the story other than there were Grivers I wonder what they looked like. I heard a graveled noise and it was coming from the closed walls of the Maze.
"What is that?" I asked looking at the walls.
"That my friend is the Maze changing" Newt said. "It changes every night."
"How long have you guys been here. Haven't you found a way out yet?" I asked Thomas looked at Newt and Newt looked at me.
"We've been here for 2 years other than Tommy, you, and Chuck. You three are the recent. We've tried but, Tommy might be finding something out tomorrow I would hope to come but, my buggin' legs got me since a few months ago" he said pointing at his leg. I looked at his leg concerned. I didn't push any more questions because I probably wouldn't get any answers.
"Welp I'm going to bed" Newt said.
"Goodnight" I said and got up when Newt did and hugged him softly I sat back down and looked at Thomas. He had said goodnight and looked at me.
I sat down off the log and leaned against it.
"Are you sure your alright?" He asked taking my hands softly. I felt my face heat up at our hands.
"I'm okay there probably going to hurt tomorrow but, I'll handle it" I smiled at him and scooted closer to him. I looked up at him and he looked towards the wall. I looked at him worried.
"I think someone needs and hhhuuugggg!" I sang and opened my arms he smiled at me and cocked his head at me and opened his arms I hugged him around his waist and hugged me around my shoulders. He laughed as I laid on his chest.
I looked up at him and he looked down at me. I smiled and he chuckled. I made a confused face.
"Your adorable you know that?" He said I felt my face get warm again and he smiled at me. I put my face in his chest. He chuckled again. I looked up at him and I sat up a little higher so I could be his level. I unwrapped my arms around him and leaned closer to him. He looked at me and I looked at him. I leaned in and kissed his cheek. I looked at him again and he had redness all around his nose and face. It was so cute. I leaned up against him again. I soon fell asleep on him.

Thomas had felt Y/n lean into him again and he smiled at her. He soon felt her soft breathing and he looked at her face she was asleep. He cuddled her into his embrace and started to stand up. He noticed all the other Gladers had left to go to bed. He looked at y/n and he thought she was the cutest thing in the world. Even though he had only been not even one day with her he seem he was falling for her. He hopped she would feel the same. He eventually got to her hammock and softly rester her on the silky smooth sheet. He softly kissed her head and he went to bed. He watched her move in her sleep. She was adorable. He fell asleep looking at the girl he loves.
