It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair, it wasn't fair, it wasn't fair. Teresa had found the cure. She had the way of saving the world right in her hands. She had the answers that people were starting to doubt would ever exist. She had the way this could have been stopped years ago.
And she gave it all up. She had given it all up for Thomas. For the boy who left. For the boy who hadn't been on her side. For the boy who hadn't understood her. For the boy who never knew who she actually was. For the boy who never realized how selfless she actually is. For the boy who hadn't made her feel what you did.
Thomas. She had given it up for Thomas.
She had helped with his gunshot as you were distracting Janson. She had been carrying him to the roof as you were waiting for them so you could somehow find safety.
Though if you were honest, you had actually been waiting for her. Despite the flames surrounding you, all you could bare to think about was Teresa.
You were near the edge of the roof looking out. You knew there was no point in doing anything else. You had just stood there while the star crossed lovers cried, accepting the others embrace.
Then, you saw it. The Berg. You saw your way out. To freedom. To hope. To normalcy. To a better life. To everything you had dreamed of.
As you turned around to tell them though, you saw it. Teresa with her lips pressed against Thomas's with a passion that seemed to be radiating off of their very souls as tears streamed down their faces during their kiss.
You had watched them as your heart broke in your chest and your breath being stolen. In just a few seconds you had lost the only person you could call home all over again. Just as you had thought love could be real, you were proven that it was.
It just wasn't meant for you.
Teresa stared at you, her hand outreached as tears picked her eyes. As you stood still, not accepting any of the help or chance of life, she swore she could feel something being ripped away from her, as if you held parts of her flesh and bones.
"Please?"She begged, being so close to the edge that she could feel the fire reaching for her arms. Not that she cared. All she wanted was you. All she ever wanted was you, safe, with her forever. A life full of love and happiness. A life worth living.
Not a life with Thomas. He could never truly give her that, and she knew that if she accepted his love she would be settling. And Teresa does not settle, and she will not start today. It's either you or nobody.
You didn't want this anymore. Every day you just felt more and more unworthy of anything good. You had spent years isolating yourself to find the cure that would have saved your family. Then, Teresa did, and while you were more than happy about that, it was gone. Even if it wasn't, there would soon be nobody left to give it to. Everything you knew would be ruined. Even those city lights Teresa made you see the beauty in would be no more.
You didn't think she felt the same though. It didn't cross your mind that the fear of death and emotions of seeing someone who brought pain and love overwhelmed to the point where kissing Thomas seemed logical. All you saw was that she had kissed him in a way you didn't think she could ever kiss you.
Looking up at her, you managed to give the girl you love a small smile as tears streaked down your cheeks. Realizing exactly what you were doing, she attempted to make you give in and grab you by force, not caring or even thinking about the burns she would get.
It was too late though. The second her hands that had shown you softness touched the flames the building collapsed, sending you with it.
Watching the one person who truly understood her willingly die, she broke down in tears. Seeing the way you looked up between her and the stars you had missed, the smile and tears still etched onto your face, it all hit her.
You were her only reason to stay. If she went back to the Safe Haven, she would never fully be trusted to not put the world first again. She would never be truly forgiven for the blood people kept saying was on her hands. She would never have someone who knew her pain and how to make it okay again.
She wouldn't have you. She wouldn't have a home, and without a home what was the point of even being alive?
As she tried to fall into the fire with you, Minho pulled her back. Screaming and crying and pleading to be allowed to be with the girl who means everything, she felt something else break. Something that could never, ever, ever be fixed.
Because the only person that would have been able to fix it was you.
