After Thomas, Newt and Gally had gotten back, you discussed the plan Gally had come up with - which involved having to interact with Teresa.
Thomas wasn't keen on the idea of using her, which you didn't fully understand. She's betrayed all of you and was the reason Aris, Sonya, Minho and so many other kids suffered.
"No. There's gotta be another way." Thomas argued, placing back and forth. You were sitting beside Gally, separating him from your brother.
"Like what? You've seen the building. She is our only way in." Gally spoke, outstretching his arms. "You really think she's gonna help us?"
"I don't plan on asking for her permission." Gally said, furrowing his brows. "Am I missing something here? This is the same girl who betrayed us, correct? Same dick?" Brenda spoke up.
"I like her." Gally said, pointing at the girl. "What's going on?" You asked your brother, looking at him. He didn't meet your eyes, meaning he hid something from you.
"What, are you afraid your little girlfriend's gonna get hurt. Huh? Because this has obviously never been just about rescuing Minho. Has it?" Newt spoke up, growing at Thomas.
You knew Newt better than yourself, and by his body language, you could tell he was extremely pissed of. "Wait, what are you talking about?" Thomas asked.
"Teresa. She's the only reason that Minho is missing in the first place. Now, we finally have an opportunity to get him back, and, what, you don't want to because of her? Because deep down inside, you still care about her. Just admit it."
"Newt, I-" Thomas tried explain, but was interrupted when Newt pushed him back slightly, his back hitting the wall. "Don't lie to me! Don't lie to me!"
Standing up, you put your hand around his upper arm softly, pulling him away from Thomas. Releasing what he'd done, he apologized before walking off towards the rooftop.
You and Thomas followed after him, seeing him sitting at the edge of the roof. He looked back at you before his eyes settled on Thomas.
"Sorry about that back there. I guess I can't hide this anymore." He spoke, pulling up his right sleeve so his arm was visible. Black veins crawled over his skin.
You gasped slightly, sitting down next to him and taking his arm in your hands. You traced the veins, tears in your eyes. There wasn't a permanent cure, so, one way or the other, you were gonna loose Newt to the flare eventually.
He kissed your temple once he saw the tears streaming down your cheeks, whispering a soft "I'm sorry." In your ear.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Thomas asked, crouching down next to your boyfriend. "Didn't think it would make any difference. All I know is that WCKD must have put me in that maze for a reason. Maybe it was literally just so they could tell the difference between immunes like you and people like me."
"You know, we can still fix this, Newt. Okay? We can." Thomas said, looking at Newt's arm. "Don't worry about me. This is about Minho. Now he needs us. So if there is even the slightest chance that we can save him, that we can get him out of there, then we have to take that. No matter what the cost."
"Okay. I hear you."
