"And now he's dead"

Well sort of.Wait,not really.I mean,after what Fitz told them the man that Hive had possesed is most likely alive inside of the creature.Something that didn't make anyone feel any better.

"See,when I think of someone dead,I sure as hell ain't thinking about this"Santana laughed in an attemp to light up the mood"Congrats,your boyfriend is a zombie-wanky if you ask me"

"This reminds me so much of Warm Bodies"Brittany commented.Mihno rubbed her back and turned to Daisy.

"Okay so how exactly are we planning on killing the zombie version of Romeo?"

"He wasn't--"Daisy didn't bother finishing.This little story was not Romeo and Juliet-or maybe it was a very twisted version of it-perphaps something similar to the Blacklist.Minus the happy ending that Ward didn't get.

"It's obvious,I must kill Hive"

"It's a suicide mission"Thomas simply stated.The rest turn to face the brunette boy who usually had a very crazy-yet effective-plan in these situations"You can't kill Hive"

"You haven't seen my power--"

"This thing can control you,can't it?Plus of it has all these Inhumans at its side,what makes you think that you can win?"

"Because Grant won't hurt me"for her to use his name meant that she was in an emotional rollercoaster.Things weren't looking good for them.

"Yeah but that thing isn't him.These two scientists don't have valid evidence that Ward can overcome Hive"

His words were smart and confident-for a change-Brenda and Mihno were nodding in agreement.Agent Johnson knew when she was defeated-and sure she could just slip out,walk away-but this would probably put the rest in danger.She couldn't have that...not again.

"Brittany,can you take us to the shelter?"

"I can try"

"So that's your plan?Run and hide?"Brenda questioned.She knew that this was the most reasonable plan but that wasn't the normal Thomas.He was doing things rationally and put them in danger but that was just him,this,seeing the bigger picture was not him.

"Yeah pretty much"

Bleachers,23:00

"Don't you want to take a break?"Mike smiled at Harriet with comfort.The girl shook her head-though she was tired as hell-she couldn't show a weakness like this.When you are weak,you sleep,and when you sleep people die.

"We have movement at ten o' clock"Tina stated while raising her gun.Harriet grabbed a pair of binoculars,this was the point where she should add that these people were awfully prepared,and looked at the direction.

"You have to be shucking messing with me"she mumbled.Mike and Tina shot her a confused look that she chose to ignore as she ran towards the other side of the fench.

"What are you doing?"

"Welcoming!"she shout back"Go get Thomas,now!"and with that she ran like the wind.Harriet just hoped she'd get there before the Cranks decided to dinner.

Meanwhile they looked awful-not thin or something-but their bodies were weak.Covered in dirt and mud as if they had been like this for at least a week.

When Harriet reached the other side of the fench she stopped.Maybe it was a hallucation or perphaps the two Gladers were pass gone.She didn't have more time to think about it,as soon as the alarm began ringing,Thomas and pretty much everyone else were by her side.

Trembling and shaking bodies everywhere while the two others were just staring.Thomas went numb with his throat dry.Mihno went to take a step forward and open the fench but Sonya held him behind.

"Let go"he growled at her.The blonde laughed as she pressed a gun against his chest.

"Mum"it came out from a broken person and it broke anyone that heard it.Quinn held Noah's shirt while fighting the tears.Santana turned to Sam and Ryder with a stern look.

"Open the door"

"We don't know if they have been th--"Santana glared at Sam causing the boy to flinch.Ryder nodded and opened the door.

Quinn didn't wait for them to come in,she ran to her son and hugged him tight.Newt hesitated at first but then wrapped his arms around her.Teresa smiled next to them as Kitty and Artie approached her.

"Tes?"

Teresa turned to see them and nodded.She put her arms around her mother's neck and cried.Once Teresa was done hugging her parents she turned to her other family,the Gladers.She looked at Thomas-who was still shocked-and smiled.

"You're alive"he stated.If something he was happy that his friend-almost something else-but he still couldn't believe that she was alive.A building had fall on top of her!

"Yes I am,and Thomas"she stopped as she put a hand on his shoulder"I don't regret what I did but I really hope you can forgive me"

"I have"

"That's all I needed"she smiled and turned behind him.She awkwardly waved at Brenda-who she didn't like at all-and ran to hug Mihno.

"Wow easy there lady shank"he laughed"You're ruining my hair,do you know how much time I s--"

"I missed you"she cried/laughed,not even she was sure about what she doing.Mihno hugged her back and whispered"I missed you too"

Rachel patted her son's back while she may-or may not-have been pushing him towards the Puckermans(Fabrays).Quinn's body tensed at the sight of Thomas.But she knew him and she knew his mother,the way they stared at someone they care was the same.

To answer your question,yes Quinn was aware of her situation with Rachel.She knew that they hadn't exchange a word and if they did,it would only ended up in a fight.However,she also knew that Rachel loved her dearly and she sure as hell didn't believe for a moment that she still had feelings for Jessie.It was just an easy excuse to make.

"Tommy!"Newt exclaimed as he wrapped his arms around Thomas.The other boy held him with fear as if he was going to sleep away again in any moment.Newt pulled back and faced Thomas with a heartbreaking smile.

"Do you two need a room?"Mihno's voice brought the two boys back to reality and may have caused Teresa to punch his arm.

"I must agree to that"Santana cut in"We are in an urgent situation so we better get moving."

"You heard the woman"Mihno laughed"Get up you lazy shanks!"

Teacher's room 23:30

"Hey"

"Hi"Santana whispered while picking up her guns.Mihno wondered around the room as he gave her occasional glances.Santana decided to ignore it-since she didn't even have the time to pay attention to her son-and sighed.

"What happened?"

"I have packed some food,Mike and Tina are taking the gun--"

"No I mean,what happened to you?To us?"

"I don't think this is the right place or time--"

"It's my family,I deserve to know"he told her sharply.Santana stopped her job to look at him,he had the same look with Brittany when Santana happened to tell her *white* lies."Did you cheat on her?"

"No I did not"Santana argued"Your mother is delusional like--"

"Don't you dare say always "

"No,like everyone in this situation"she scoffed.For real,now,what did happen?That was a painful memory to remember.

The Warblers were struggling after their loss to New Directions.After some new found scandals came to surface the money were running low.So since the ex-Warblers were a bit responsible for the competition fiasco-even though many found it poetic-they decided it was up to them to help.

Long story short,Blaine had this not so great idea of the group working part time at Breadstixs.Luckily for them,Jake agreed.

"I don't want to be here"

"Too bad"Quinn chuckled as she made her way through the drunken teenagers and sat on a booth."The Warblers lost because of you and you need to pay them back.Pay him back"

"I didn't ask him to serenade"Santana argued with crossed arms.Quinn shrugged while picking up her phone.A goofy smile appeared on her face as Santana laughed.

"Wanky"

"Excuse me?"

"Did Rachel text you?"

"Yeah,in fact,she did"the blonde smiled proudly at herself.Santana wrapped an arm around her best friend before turning to the stage.

"Oh my God,there we go"

"Behave Lopez"

Sebastian:I don't wanna hear you've got a boyfriend

Sometimes you're better off alone

But if you change your mind, you know where I am

Yeah if you change your mind, you know

Where to find me

'Cause I don't ever wanna be your boyfriend

Three of the Warblers,one being Blaine-and the others were Nick and Jeff,maybe-,accompanied him.Blaine made eye contact with Quinn who turned to Santana with a smirk.

"Not interested"

And never did I think that I

Would be caught in the way you got me

Push another girl aside and just give in

"Oh come on!"Quinn almost yelled at her.

"If it makes you feel better,I'll give him a point for using Panic"

All:Girls love girls and boys

Girls love girls and boys

And never did I think that I

Would be caught in the way you got me

But girls love girls and boys

Sebastian:And love is not a choice

"San,if you still like Brittany then maybe you shou--"

"I don't like Brittany"she replied sharply"I mean,I love her and always will but that's not what I want now"

Pose, you've gotta save your reputation

They're close to finding out about your girlfriend

But if you change your mind, you know where I am

Yeah if you change your mind, you know

Where to find me

'Cause I don't wanna save your reputation

Quinn dropped the subject and Santana was very pleased.She returned her gaze to the stage the exact moment Sebastian's eyes landed on her.

And never did I think that I

Would be caught in the way you got me

Push another girl aside and just give in

All:Girls love girls and boys

Girls love girls and boys

And never did I think that I

Would be caught in the way you got me

But girls love girls and boys

And love is not a choice

She wasn't in love with him-at least she didn't think she was-but he did make something to her.All this time she had to fight for Brittany,she did it all the time with Artie,Rory and even Sam.However,Sebastian was a whole different case.He was someone who wanted to fight for her.It was nine for a change.

Sebastian:I am just a villain vying for attention f rom a girl

A girl who can't decide and here's the reason why

Girls love girls and boys

Girls love girls and boys

And never did I think that I

Would be caught in the way you got me

But girls love girls and boys

And love is not a choice

The crowd applauded as Santana and Quinn stood up.Santana caught Sebastian leaving the stage and going outside,so she made a go for it.

"San!"

The latina had already ran outside.Sebastian looked at her emotionless.Her heart was racing at the sight of him but she wasn't going to let it show.She couldn't.

"Aren't you going to say something?"

"Say what?I know what you're going to tell me"

"I don't like what you're doing.I don't like you keep trying to get me while hurting others.Look where that got you"

"You think this is for you?"he questioned"I'm trying to help the Warblers because I made a mistake."

"So you want me to believe that this wasn't planned?That you and Blaine didn't make a clever pla--"

"I'm making a fool of myself"the words were like knifes that hurt more than they should.She could swear her heart skipped a beat."I'm done trying to get you because I know you don't want me.I guess you were right all along,you were drunk and I took advantage of it and turned it into something else."

"Don't take the blame by yourself"

"I should"he told her as he fixed his coat"Point is I'm going to do what you said,leave you alone"

Choir room,23:55

"Are we okay?"Thomas was brough back to reality at the sound of the voice.The brunette boy was sitting in front of the piano staring at it for at least fifteen minutes-Newt counted them-lost in his thoughts.

As for Newt's question,it wasn't meant to bring him back,it was a genuine concern.The two boys had shared a hug when Newt first came but didn't really exchange a word.

Newt thought things were okay between them...

Maybe he was wrong.

"Why shouldn't we be?"

"Well last time we were together,things happened"he meant to add how things were said too.Hurtful things.But most importantly things that Newt didn't mean to say.

He really didn't.

But he was afraid about what Thomas felt when he heard them.What if he believed that Newt was speaking the truth?Why not believing that Newt hated him?He was the reason that they got in the Maze,he was the reason that Newt tried to kill himself.

Newt should hate him.

They both knew that and it would be a lie to say the opposite.

Then why he didn't?Why he couldn't?

"You didn't mean it"Thomas simply replied.Though the answer came out more as a question.But what was yet to be answered was whether it was to Newt or himself.

"I didn't"Newt half-smiled and sit next to him"I appreciate what you did and I-I feel horrible for making you do it"

"That was your wish and I had to make one thing right for a change"

"Still,you had already lost a lot."

"I'm just glad you're okay"and that statement was enough for Newt to feel happy.So there he was,asking himself again,why didn't he hate Thomas?

Because he loved him.And no,this wasn't some self realization when he figured out he was gay.It was far from it.Back in WCKD when his memory slowly came back to him...Thomas also came back to him.

At the moment he believed that it didn't mean a thing.People change and so do the circumstances,you can be in love with someone and then stop because he/she changed.You changed.

"Do you play?"

"I don't know"Thomas whispered as heplayed with the piano tiles."I think I knew at some point but"

"Can you play it again?"Thomas looked at Newt confused but nodded after.It was actually pretty simple,he just played five or six tiles that made a smoothing melody.Newt hummed to find the lyrics when Thomas changed the melody.

Thomas:I'll find the places where you hide

I'll be the dawn on your worst night

The only thing left in your life

Yeah I would kill for you, that's right

Newt smiled at Thomas proudly while the other boy tapped his foot.Yeah that melody seemed right-familiar he could add-but about right.

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

Actually everything felt right at the moment.The piano,the song,Newt-definetly Newt-Thomas liked the scenery.He felt like he was normal again and not the WCKD subject,not the supposed-to-be the hero.

I'll put your poison in my veins

They say the best love is insane, yeah

I'll light your fire till my last day

I'll let your fields burn around me, around me

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

At the end of the day,why should Thomas save the day?There were more people that could make the difference and he just hopes they would.Perphaps in this story he could finally be a second character and not the hero who messes up and looses everything.

I'll run now, cause this time

Oh, my love is true

Tell me, something I wouldn't do

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted

Oh God,was he wrong...

"Who would guess you had it in you?"Newt chuckled.

"What can I say?I'm full of talents"

"I'm su--"

"Guys we're ready to lea--oh"Rachel stopped herself as soon as her eyes landed on Thomas sitting with Newt"Nevermind,you go ahead and continue while I slow them down"

"Rachel w--"

"Don't pay attention to me and continue!"she shout while walking away"If you need to have sex,use protection!"
