newt is a reserved british boy with a past worth escaping // thomas is a track star who also excells academically // the glade university seems like the perfect place to start over, but of course not everything works out like the movies // exposed to the real world of heartbreak, secrets, demanding classes and well alcohol, they both realize that the most important thing to have is someone to lean on - disclaimer: this is an EDITED VERSION of the original. I wrote both so it's not plagiarism. this version is more mature, slightly longer and written much better. also, some scenes have changed so the long term fans of this fic can have some new content

(also on AO3 under ava_kay) WARNING: content may be TRIGGERING for some (deals with various mental illnesses) most characters from The Maze Runner by James Dashner, I do not own them. p.s.- if newt says anything that seems ignorant towards mental illnesses, please know I'm trying to portray a teenager who doesn't understand yet, and that he eventually will understand!
