Thomas' POV

"So you must be excited... that your girlfriend is coming," Dylan stated. Will, Dylan and I were sitting on a table. We were having a short break after shooting since morning.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I am," I replied, slightly off-track. "You don't seem like..." Dylan mumbled as he crossed his arms. "Dude you haven't showed us picture or anything of your girlfriend," Will said.

I looked at him with confusion, "Am I supposed to?" Will nodded and I just shrugged. "If you want to know who she is, you can search her up. Or... you can wait for half an hour," I said as u looked at my watch.

Ellie's plane had landed an hour back and she messaged me that she was almost outside.

I got up from my seat. "I'll be back after a while. Just inform Wes that I've gone to pick up Ellie," I explained. With that, I was on the way to the airport.

***********

Ellie's POV

I walked out of the final airport check, towards the exit. There was a long area where on the other side, people could meet whoever was coming from the planes.

I looked around for Thomas but couldn't see him anywhere. I went a bit ahead, gradually getting closer to the airport exit. Still, no sign of the love of my life. I frowned.

Maybe he's late, I thought. Maybe he didn't come. Maybe he forgot.

All of a sudden, I felt something on my shoulder. I turned to look and found a red rose resting. I quickly turned back, to be greeted by the arms of my Tommy.

"Thomas!" I squealed and hugged him tight. He lifted me a bit and placed a kiss on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck, his were around my waist. When we pulled away I kissed his cheek.

"I thought you forgot about me!" I said as I softly punched his shoulder. "Me forget you? Of course not!" Thomas said and gave me the rose. I smelled it, loving its fragrance.

We walked, hand in hand, towards his car. He helped me with my trolley bag. We caught up on everything that happened while we were apart as we drove back to the Maze Runner set.

Dylan's POV

"What's taking so long? He has been gone about 40 minutes!" I complained. Will sighed, "Chill man. They should be back by now."

Just then I saw two people approach us. I sat up in my seat when I recognised it was Thomas. He had a girl with him. "Dude, dude, It's Thomas!" I alerted Will and slapped his shoulder.

"That's probably his girlfriend," he said as we both stood up. "She's hot!" I sort of whispered. Will just glared.

Ellie's POV

I saw two guys stand up from their seats. Obviously, I recognised both of them: Dylan O'brien and Will Poulter.

"Hey guys," Thomas said as we neared them, "This is Eleanor." Thomas looked at me, "You probably know who they are."

"Hi I'm Dy-Will" Both of them introduced in unison, I would have called one of them Dywill if I didn't know their names. They both stared at each other, making me chuckle.

I shook their hands and smiled, "You can call me Ellie." They both smiled. We all stood there awkwardly until Dylan spoke, "Hey, have you been around the set? Met everyone else?"

"Well I-" I started but Will interrupted me. "Yeah okay, we'll take care of that!" The both grabbed my shoulders and guided me. "I was actually going-" Thomas tried to stop them but it didn't work. I laughed as I watched Thomas stand all alone, while Dylan and Will blabbed about who knows what.

I gestured for Thomas to take my hand and he smiled and followed behind.

**********

I met all the cast members and they're all so nice! We all had lunch together, followed by filming of a scene.

Most of the cast and crew weren't doing much since they were scheduled for a night scene. Thomas explained to me that it was the one where all the Gladers have a party to welcome the character Thomas.

We all sat at a table and got to know each other a bit better. I was kind of the main subject of conversation, but I tried my best to ask about the others present. Everyone just wanted to know more about me.

Night fell soon and all the actors required for the scene went to the make up and costume trailers to get ready. I stayed with Thomas as he got ready. He really is the perfect Newt!

"Okay everyone, gather around!" Wes called out to all the guys around. I sat on a chair next to Kaya Scodelario, who plays Teresa in the movie.

"This is going to be a good scene!" She commented as we watched the group in front of us discussing. I smiled with agreement. I had read the script and there was a fight scene going to take place between Thomas and Gally.

"Hello girls," Thomas walked up to Kaya and I with a smirk. Just then someone called out 'Thomas'. Thomas started to walk towards the source but I held him back. "What?" He questioned.

"Uh, I don't think they're calling you..." I said and pointed in front. Thomas looked ahead, "Oh."

He took a step back to where he stood next to me. "It's got to be confusing having a character called Thomas in the movie and an actor called Thomas," I stated and he just shrugged. I laughed at his expressions and he smiled.

"Okay I think they're calling you now," Kaya informed. Thomas left us and we followed behind to get a closer look at the scene. Everyone got into their places. The scene they were going to shoot first was a close one of Thomas and Newt, Dylan and Thomas.

"And... ACTION!" Wes announced and the filming began. Something happened and Thomas and Dylan started laughing. Kaya and I weren't so close so we couldn't figure out what happened. Then the most hilarious and slightly appalling thing happened.

Thomas and Dylan were in a deep moment but pulled away into laughter. Both Kaya and my eyes widened at the sight, but it soon turned to smiles and shaking heads.

At least the next take was perfect with no bloopers. "CUT!" Wes said and everyone dismissed from their positions.

"Now it's the fight scene!" Kaya said. She seemed really excited about the scene. I couldn't help but look forward to it too. I saw Thomas standing among a bunch of other guys. He waved at me and I waved back.

"He really loves you, doesn't he?" Kaya said with a grin. I smiled then looked away to hide my hot cheeks.

Once again, Wes gave the director's signal and the shooting of the scene began. The fight got really intense. They had to reshoot the scene because of errors or to change the camera angles. I heard Dylan and Will say 'sorry' to each other between takes. I couldn't help but smile.

Soon the shooting finished and Dylan walked over to Kaya and me. "Girls! Fighting time!" He called out, slightly breathless. I looked at Kaya and she looked at me. "Come on, one of you needs to come here," Dylan said and smirked, "Unless you're too weak."

The other boys got closer to watch our reaction. I sighed and stood up. "What are you doing?" Kaya asked. "Going to fight," I replied while putting my hair into a ponytail.

I walked over to Dylan then took my jacket off. He grinned and I said, "You've made a big mistake." I slapper his shoulder and walked ahead.

I could feel everyone's eyes on me, including Thomas. I watched him and he looked concerned. I gave him a discreet wave and he smiled.

I got into position, a few feet in front of Dylan. It was exactly like how Dylan and Will had shot their fight scene, but without the cameras rolling. "I'll take it easy on you," Dylan said and I put my hands on my hips.

"Oh you don't need to take it easy on anyone," I gave him a fake smile. "Well I don't want you-" Dylan said but I cut him off by charging at him.

I tackled him to the ground and he groaned in pain. Everyone cheered, making me feel victorious.

I sat on him and pinned his arms and legs to the ground. "Not feeling so tough anymore huh?" I said as he tried to get loose from my grip. He eventually gave up.

Fine, you win, He said, annoyed. What? Youre not going to even try? I questioned and he shook his head. I got off of him and he stood up.

Everyone booed, even Kaya. Dylan shrugged and I couldnt stop laughing.

"Alright, whos next?" I announced to the crowd of guys around me. I dusted my clothes as I got up. When no one reacted I said, "No one?"

I scanned the crowd and found someone. Someone whod be a worthy opponent. At least, someone I'd like to fight.

I pointed at him and grinned. Everyone cheered as the guy walked towards me.

"I had a feeling you'd choose me, love," Thomas said with a smiled. I got into fight position and replied, "Why wouldnt I?"

I waited for a moment. Both of us looked at each other in the eye, and then we charged.

I tried to push him to the ground but he was too strong. He pushed me to the ground instead. My knee hit the rock, hard ground and I screamed in pain.

The cheering crowd immediately stopped. "Oh God, Im so sor-," Thomas said as he approached me but abruptly stopped as I knocked him down by kicking his feet.

He hit his head on the ground and I climbed on to him. "A trick! I should have seen that coming," He said, disappointed in himself.

"Black belt in karate... I have a brother and we had A LOT of fights and arguments. Oh, and I like to trick people!" I stated and put a hand to his neck.

I bent down and kissed him on the lips. I couldnt see anyone but I could feel their emotions. They were all silent.

When I sat up Thomas said, "Alright, you win." Everyone applauded and I smiled. Thomas hugged me and kissed my cheek.

The crowd came closer and cheered. This was the best night ever.

**********

The end of the week

I hugged him tight. I sobbed into his chest as he rubbed my back. "It'll be fine. We'll see each other soon," Thomas said, trying to make me feel better. I wiped my tears away and looked at him.

"Promise well talk every day," I said and he nodded. "I'll make sure we do," He kissed my forehead.

"At least well be doing the same thing while were apart," I said, trying to be optimistic. "That's my girl," He smiled, "I love you."

"I love you too," I replied, "I should go. I have a plane to catch." I walked away from Thomas, towards the check in counters. I looked back once last time and waved. He smiled.

I couldn't wait till we meet again, a few months later.
