"Do ya have a nickname? Tommy or somethin'?" "No, just Thomas." It's 1962 and gangs rule the streets.

5 years later and Thomas didn't forget about that day. He knew he had to move on. But what if something happen after all this time? He knew it was impossible. But he also knew it wasn't something from his imagination, It was real. He was real.

Thomas never planned for his life to be the way it was. He never planned to be living on the streets, never planned on drugs, drink, death. He never planned on the journey to an early grave. Newt never planned for his life to be the way it was. He never planned to be living in an asylum, never planned on medication, solitude, insanity. He never planned on conversations with the voices in his head at night. Neither boy planned for their paths to intertwine with each other. (Everything belongs to James Dashner)

Newt is a reserved small boy who's rich British accent draws attention away from his noticeable limp. Thomas is a confident star athlete on the track team who also excels academically. The private campus of Southern New York Glade University is a place for fresh starts and big dreams. Now of course I guess nothing really turns out quite how it is in the movies... Exposed to the real world of heartbreak, secrets, agonizing classes and awkward encounters they both realize that the most important thing that anyone can have is someone to lean on, sometimes in Newt's case, literally.

Thomas is writing letters to Newt, who seems to be the other side of the coin he's stuck to. ( tmr highschool au feat. newtmas with a dash of bromantic minewt )

❝ What did they find? ❞ Thomas looks back at him, and there is anguish clearly written on his face. ❝ You have Alzheimer's, Newt. ❞ His breath catches in his throat. Alzheimer's. ❝ There's no cure for that, ❞ he says. ❝ No, ❞ the other whispers, and Newt is struck by just how old he looks-Thomas isn't young anymore, certainly, but now his face seems to have aged ten years. Determination, however, lights his features as he continues. ❝ It'll be okay, though. You're on medication right now. That-that'll slow it down. And I'll take care of you. I won't leave. We'll get through this together, just like the way it's always been. ❞ Newt is dying, and the worse part is that his mind's too fucked-up for him to realize it.

"The maze broke his spirit, the fall broke his leg, the flare broke his mind, the end broke his heart. He was the glue who fixed everybody but himself." Newt's life seemed pointless until the new newbie arrived. Could his life be worth living again?
