I slowly wake up in a tent. I hear the sound of waves from a beach, seagulls, and familiar voices. I don't even remember what happened. Everything that happened started coming back to me. I felt like my life just flashed before my eyes. The Box, the Glade, Ben, the maze, Teresa, the Griever attack, Chuck, W.C.K.D., my mother, the Cranks, Winston, Brenda, the Right Arm attack, Thomas, the Flare, Newt...

"NEWT!" I scream as I jolt up and quickly rush out of the tent and look around. Where am I? I heard the familiar voices. I walk to see where it was coming from. I see my loved ones.

"Thomas?" I say with a smile. He turns around and walks to me and we hug tightly. Then Minho walks over to me and hugs me. Then Frypan, Brenda, Jorge, Aris, Sonya, and Harriet. I just shake hands with Gally and then we hug it out anyway. I noticed someone was missing.

"Wait. Where's Newt? Newt?! God, is he okay?!" I frantically ask them. They look at each other and smile. They back up to reveal who was behind them. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Newt. Alive and well. The serum worked. We walk over to each other slowly while smiling as tears filled my eyes.

"Newt...you're okay...!" I cry tears of happiness and relief. Newt chuckles and hugs me tightly. I hug back. I cry happily in his shoulder. He kisses my ear, my cheek, my head, and then my lips. His kisses were filled with so much love.

"I missed you so much, love." Newt whispered with a smile that I haven't seen since we escaped the maze. I haven't even smiled like this since we escaped.

"God, you don't know how much I missed you. But wait. How did you survive? I thought..." I get cut off by Thomas.

"Don't you remember?" he asked me.

I try to remember but I remember a little bit but not much. I shook my head in response.

"You bloody saved me..." Newt says with a smile.

"I...I did?" I asked in shock.

"Yeah." Frypan responds. I finally remember everything.

"Oh yeah...I remember now." I say as I remembered how I saved Newt.

"Jacqui, I'm glad you came. If...If you didn't come, I would've became a full-Crank or I would've died. You saved my life, Jacqui. You saved us." Newt looks at me in my brown eyes as I look in his brown eyes. I tear up and laugh at the memory as I realized what I did.

"Oh my God, I did!" I say while crying tears of joy and then Newt and I hug tightly.

"That was really brave. What you did." Sonya said. I smile at her.

"That reminds me, um, Newt? Remember I was gonna tell you something back at the Right Arm but I got cut off cuz of the helicopters?" I asked Newt to make sure he remembers that day.

"Yeah. Why? What was it you were gonna tell me?" he asks curiously.

"Um, well I told Sonya first. So now I need to tell you. Okay, here it goes. Newt...Sonya is...your sister." I finally told him. He widens his eyes and then looks at Sonya and asks her if it's true. She nods in response with a smile.

"I saw it. In my memories. I needed the right time to tell you but I was afraid how you were gonna react. Also her real name was Lizzie." I admit to him.

"Bloody hell..." Newt responds as he smiles since he realizes that he has a sister. Sonya smiles.

"Brother..." Sonya whispers.

"Sister..." Newt whispers.

It warms my heart seeing my boyfriend and my new best friend reunite after not knowing they were siblings. They embrace.
