It's been a few hours since Minho and Newt left to go into the Maze, I hope they find something.

Meanwhile, Thomas and I have been walking around, hand-in-hand, through the forest.

It's nice being with him, he's just so...great!

But as I walk around with him I can't stop thinking about Newt.

He was my friend from the beginning, we worked together, got along so well, I couldn't help but get feelings for him.

But now Thomas is here, he makes me realise that I love him, and that Newt would never feel that way about me.

So why can't I get him out of my head!?

Thomas sees that I'm having an inner war, he looks down at my face, concern sketched over his face.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just a little confused." I smile.

"About what?" He questions.

"Everything."

"Yeah, I understand, it's hard living in here."

"Yeah." I sigh.

Tom takes my face in his palms and kisses me gently on the lips. "Come on, let's go back."

We walk back and everyone is crowding around the doors Newt and Minho went through.

"What's going on?" I ask Alby.

"The grievers are coming and they're not back."

This can't be good.

"We need to get inside." Thomas says to me.

"N-no, but what about them?"

"It may be too late." He sighs.

"Don't say that! They're still out there, I know it."

"Well then let's go back to the homestead and wait for them." He tries to persuade me.

"I can't." I sigh "I have to stay here."

"No, Sophie, we need to be safe other wise we won't be able to help them."

"I'm not going in until I know they're safe.

"Yes you are!" He says pulling me.

"No! I'm sorry but they are my best friends!" I yell at him.

"They're mine too!! And I want to stay, but we can't help them if we get taken!!" He yells too.

I frown, he's right.

I nod and we run back to the homestead.

But just as we reach the door I heard a voice behind me.

I turn around and see Minho and Newt running back. But somethings wrong, Newt's limping.

"Sophie!" Newt yells and waves at me.

I run up to them, despite Thomas trying to stop me.

I reach Newt and hug him.

"We need to get inside, love birds." Minho says to us.

I awkwardly let go of the hug then put Newt's arm around my shoulder to help him run.

Thomas holds the door for us and we pile in, Thomas quickly barricades the door and comes over to our huddle.

"You guys alright?" He asks the boys.

"Yeah, besides Newt's ankle stuffing up again were pretty good." Minho answers.

But Newt's looking at Thomas seriously. "Can I talk to you Tommy?"

Tom nods and helps Newt up, and they walk off.

Newt's POV

We walk away from Minho and Sophie so they can't hear us.

"Why were you two still out when we got back?!" I asks sternly "You two could've been taken!"

"Y-yeah, uh.. Sorry Newt, I tried to take her back but she was being stubborn  and wasn't going to move till you two got back." He frowns.

"Then why didn't you pick her up and bring her back?!"

"I-I tried to pull her but she was trying to make me give in, but the I convinced her to come back and just as we were about to come in you guys got back." He said a little nervous.

He should've just taken her back straight away! And what does he mean by convinced?!

"How'd you convince her?!"

"I told her it wouldn't be very help full if you guys needed help and we had just risked your chances by being taken."

I sigh, he tried his best and did a good job.

"Well I'm just glad you're safe, the both of you. Thank you for being nice to Soph, you really are perfect for her." I give him a sympathetic smile.

"You too man, and thanks."

We head back and sit with Minho and Soph.

"What happened?" Sophie asked.

"Just talking." I smile at her.

"Yeah, every things fine." He smiles, holding her in his arms and kissing her lips.

She smiles through the kiss. "That's good, hope Newt wasn't too harsh on you." She giggles.

Aah... I love her giggles so much, and her smile and her feel, why does Thomas get it all and all I get is a friendly hug.

Sophie's POV

I stay sitting in Toms' arms, "So, what happened to your ankle?" I ask Newt.

He gives a worried look to Minho, "Uh, well I um, hurt it..."

"How?"

"Broke it, few years back and I twisted it on our run back." He answers, a bit awkward.

"Hmm."

"What?"

"Just thinking..... How'd it break?" I ask curiously.

"Fell on it."

"How?"

"Fell and landed on it.." He simply says.

"And where did you fall from?"

"Aah-"

"Shhh!" Minho quickly hushes us.

"What is it?" I whisper?

"Griever."

I listen, really listen, but don't hear anything but Newt sighing in relief.

I give a confused look up at Tom and he matches mine.

"Newt." Minho whispers "Alby might wanna see us."

Newt nods and they get up and leave.

"Well that was weird."

"Yeah."

"At least we can spend some time alone together." Tom smiles at me.

I roll my eyes "We spent the whole day alone together."

"Yeah, and now it's time for the night."

"I'm tired." I yawn.

"Same." He smiles and hugs me tighter.

I snuggle into his arms and soon fall asleep.
