The Maze Runner Newt x girl Glader

Chapter 5: This Isn't Goodbye

As Newt and Thomas finish talking, they come back in and we come up with a plan to save Minho. First they lure Teresa and take her here when she's done for the day and then they interrogate her why she would betray us and how we break in W.C.K.D.

"Teresa...why did you do that? Hm? How could you do that to us? To me? You're my sister. Instead you took advantage of our trust and betrayed us." I ask her angrily. She looked down in guilt.

"I know, I know! But...I thought of our mother and then I remembered the Cranks. The world is suffering, Jacqui. They promised they'd find a cure. I made a deal with them. I'm trying to do the right thing." Teresa says guiltily.

"Do the right thing? By what? Betraying us, working for W.C.K.D., have them torture us the rest of our lives? Don't you realize? That place...they...they made us create the maze and watch our friends die and suffer. They even tortured us! I even saw in my memories that I couldn't do what they told me to do and they hit me! They threatened me! They locked me in a dark, cramped room for hours! I went through hell! And you don't even care that W.C.K.D. would do it to me again! If our mother was alive, she wouldn't like this at all. She wouldn't want you to betray me, after all I have done for you. You felt left out while I was the favorite daughter, but I was there for you. You were my favorite sister. I loved you. And you do this to me? This is the thanks I get for being nothing but kind to you and being there for you?" I scold her as tears stream down my cheeks.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know what I was doing! It's just...they promised! They promised they'd find a cure!" Teresa cries.

"There is no cure! Like Chancellor Paige said, it's incurable! W.C.K.D. tricked you! I know they're trying to find one, but they made you think they're trying to find one! It's incurable!" I yell at her angrily. She flinched at me yelling.

"But...But what about when Brenda had the Flare? She got cured. And Doctor Mary said that there was something Thomas could do. What if the cure has something to do with Thomas?" Teresa says. I realized she's right.

"I don't know..." I reply as I'm trying to piece everything together.

"But, anyway, I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was doing..." Teresa apologizes again as she starts sobbing. I start to feel bad for her. Yeah, she betrayed us, but she thought what she did was right. She didn't know what she was thinking. W.C.K.D. tricked her into thinking that there was going to be a cure but the Flare is incurable. As soon as Teresa broke down in tears, I walk over to her and hug her as a sign that I forgive her.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I yelled at you. It's just...You should've told me earlier before you told them our location and I would've understood." I say as I hug her.

"I tried to, but I didn't wanna hurt you." Teresa's voice breaks.

"I know. But you already hurt me when you didn't tell me and gave away our location and let them find us anyway." I respond.

"Again, I'm sorry. And you're right, our mother wouldn't like this. She'd be pissed off." Teresa says as she sobs on my shoulder.

"I know. I forgive you. And...even though you betrayed us, well, back there I overreacted, I will always love you. Cuz you're my sister. We're family. No matter what you do, I'm always gonna forgive you. Sisters forever?" I say to her and hold out my hand. She shakes my hand in response and wipes her tears.

"Sisters forever." she replies with a smile. I smile back. We hug.

*time skip*

When they get ready to go in, Newt tells me to stay in the berg with the others. I sigh in defeat.

"Okay. But again please be careful." I sigh as tears fill my eyes.

"Don't worry. I will. And once we rescue Minho, we'll get back here in time and they'll use the serum to save me from the Flare. Okay?" Newt whispers as we lean our foreheads.

"Okay. And in case you don't make it...g-goodbye, Newt..." my voice breaks as I come close to sobbing. Newt wipes my tears and kisses my cheek and then embraces me tightly, it literally felt comforting. He rubs my back and rocks us back and forth.

"Shh...don't think about that, okay? This isn't goodbye. Remember, don't give up on us and don't lose hope." Newt whispers in my ear while hugging me.

"Okay..." I whisper.

"I love you so much, Jacqui." he whispers as he looks at me in the eyes.

"I love you, too, Newt." I smile sadly as a tear streams down my cheek. We lean in and kiss one last time, but I hope it's not our last one. I stay in the berg with Jorge and Vince. Brenda and Frypan are part of the plan, too, so it's just me and the adults. I watch as I see Newt, Thomas, Teresa, and Gally break in. I tear up as I see Newt turn his head to me while going inside with them. Suddenly, I just heard his voice and he didn't even move his mouth. Could it be...telepathy? Nah.

"I love you...remember that..." his voice said to me. I looked at him back.

I love you, too... I thought and then he smiled and then blew a kiss to me which I returned. He heard me! Our love has grown even stronger that we're able to communicate with telepathy now! They run inside and now they're out of my sight. I tear up as I don't see Newt anymore. I just hope they rescue Minho and make it out alive. As the door for W.C.K.D. shuts, I start bawling and fall to the ground, feeling weak to even stand up. Even though our love has grown stronger, I can't stand the thought being separated from him. Jorge catches me and holds me in his arms, trying to comfort me. I look up to Jorge as if he were my father. I cry in his shoulder as he rubs my back.

"It's alright, hermana. He'll be okay." Jorge comforts me.
