29. Back To The Beginning

Newts POV

Paradise, so far, has been... well amazing.

We've rooted out who's immune and who isnt, by running a whole lot of less scary tests then the Maze Trials.

Of course I'm one of them but thanks to Thomas we've all managed to get the cure to fight it off.

So... for the past couple months theres been... peace.

And it's strange.

At this point, sitting here on the beach, it's been almost a year since everything came crashing down.

"Hey!"

Minho came and sat beside me, he looked the same.

Probably the only person that looked the same in all this was Minho.

Nothing had changed!

His hair was the same length, his eyes just as bright as ever, he hadnt lost or gained weight.

He was just the same.

And in some ways that was... a good thing.

"Hi."

I smiled at him as he clapped me on the back,

"You ok?"

I shrugged,

"...yeah. fine."

"Liar."

I chuckled, just as Thomas came out to sit with us.

He'd changed.

He'd gotten bigger, more muscular, and his hair was just a little longer.

Plus he had a tan, thanks to our life on the beach.

"What we all talking about?"

He asked, sitting on my other side.

"This shank is being a dumby and wont tell me what's wrong-"

"Well if you shut up long enough maybe you'll hear what's wrong."

I sass and Thomas and Minho both laugh.

"Sorry sorry- continue."

I sigh,

"I just- it's been a year here and it just seems so..."

"...quiet?"

"peaceful?"

"Boring?"

They both added they're own input and I nodded.

"I wouldnt say boring but- when the majority of your life that you can remember is just... death, and dispare. It's hard to accept the good stuff you know?"

I say,

I learnt from when Janson had taken us into his compound that trusting all the good stuff in life isnt always a smart idea.

Minho nodded hesitantly.

"Dont tell Vincent but... I... I've been wanting to go back."

He said and Thomas and I starred at him in horror.

"No! Not like- to the maze but- I... I wanted to see what became of people."

He shrugs, clearly embarrassed.

"Didnt mean to bring down the mood."

He says and I shake my head, starring at the sand that I sit on.
