TW ⚠️- Mentions of Panic attacks, self harm and eating disorders/under eating.

I woke up by birds whistling. I opened my eyes and looked around me. I was in a wooden hut, next to me was a small table with some medicine on it. It felt like the Glade.

Am I in Heaven?

I got up from my bed and remembered what had happened to my side. I lifted the shirt up that I didn't remember wearing before, someone must've changed my clothes. I looked at the wound that was covered with a bandage.

I walked out of the hut and got blinded by the sunlight for a second. When my eyes got used to it I looked at the area.

There was a sea in front of me, the waves hit the beach in calming way. I turned my head and saw lots of other huts and hammocks. People where everywhere and it looked quite peaceful.

I started walking towards the more crowded area, and then my eyes caught Minho and Newt sitting on a piece of wood. I walked over to them.

'Hey, Raven.' Minho looked up and so did Newt.

'Hey.' I said.

Newt got up from his seat and hugged me.

'Where are we?' I asked once he let go of me.

'Welcome to The Safe Haven.' Minho walked over to me and gave me a hug too. 'Everything is over now.' He said.

'Where are the others?' The three of us sat down.

'Brenda, Frypan and Jorge are with Sonya and Harriet, Vince is doing some leader stuff and Thomas is still asleep. Gally, I don't know.' Minho replied. 'Thomas has got some great stories to tell tonight, and so do you.' Minho smiled. 

'Yeah, who was that man?' Newt asked.

'He said he was my dad, but he wasn't. He also said he wanted to run some tests on me, but I ran away, then he shot me and then I was on top of the building.' I quickly explained.

Suddenly Minho got up and started walking towards someone. Newt followed and I did too. I saw that Thomas was awake and he hugged Minho.

'Hey, Tommy.' Newt said and he gave Thomas a hug, so did I.

Thomas looked confused and Minho quickly explained what had happened and why we were here.

'What happened to you, by the way?' I asked.

'I got shot.' Thomas moved his shirt and I could see a bandage.

'Hey! Me too!' I said in a sarcastic way. Minho and Newt laughed.

'Who shot you?' I asked Thomas once we sat down.

'Janson.'

'Not him again.' I rolled my eyes.

'Some Cranks attacked him and he's dead right now, and so is Ava.' Thomas explained. Then he looked down and seemed to hesitate for a moment. 'And Teresa.' He said quietly.

'Oh.' I could only say.

'We have come a long way together.' Vince stood in front of a fire. I was sitting in the crowd of other people and listened to Vince. 'So many have sacrificed so much to make this place possible. Your friends and your family. So here's to the ones who couldn't be here.' He raised a cup. 'Here's to the friends we lost. This place is for you. It's for all of us.' Vince stepped aside and revealed a big stone.
'But this, this is for them. So, in your own time, in your own way, come make your peace. And welcome to the Safe Haven!'

'Yeah!' People shouted and they all celebrated.

I walked over to the stone with a light in my hand. I putted it down on the ground and started writing 'Chuck' with a knife.

After a while I got back to the others again.

'Hey, Raven.' Minho motioned for me to get closer to him. 'You had this in your pocket.' He handed me a necklace.

'Oh, thanks Minho.' I looked at the necklace. It was the one that Newt had gave me.

It had a small tube on it and I inspected it. Eventually I opened the tube and a piece of paper rolled out of it. I folded it open and saw a handwritten letter. I walked away from the others and started reading.

Dear Raven, or how Minho likes to say 'Shortie',

I think this is the first letter I've ever written. I don't know if I'm going to write any more ever again (except for Tommy's letter), but I just wanted to tell you this.

I remember. I remember you laying in The Box unconscious. All of us were so confused, and at that point I didn't realize that the love of my life was laying there.

The next day I wanted to go check on you, but you were gone; you ran into the maze.
Minho reached out and brought you back, and I remember you not wanting to say your name.

You were stubborn, and you still are (in a good way) .

When I gave you the tour I called you 'Greenie' and then you told me your name 'Raven'.

Slowly I started to like you more and more. At some point Minho started confronting me with the fact that I was in love with you, but I didn't believe him. Minho knew it even before I did.

I remember the pranks we played on each other. Me and Minho had stole your clothes, and you sure got some revenge by putting salt on our food, I still don't forgive you about that though.
Then Minho ruined your room, so you had to sleep in mine. Oh yeah, I now know that the only shucking reason he did that was because he wanted us to sleep together (If that wasn't obvious).
I guess he can cross that of his bucket list.

I don't like to mention this, but I remember the things you did in the Glade. The panic attacks and the self harming. I wanted to help you so badly, but you were stubborn.
You thought it would be better to not eat, because of some stupid voice in your head and boys who were looking at you. But I get those boys, I mean, who doesn't want to have such an perfect body?

And then, I remember our first kiss. It was in the Deadheads. And our second, in the hospital room. You were trapped in the maze for a night, so that's why we were there. I asked you if you regretted our kiss and you said no, then you gave me a quick kiss again.

I also know the small fight we had, and I remember exactly what we said:

'You're not completely healed yet.' I had said.

'No, but it won't take that long until I do.'

'I won't let you go in there again.'

'But I want to.'

'I won't let you.

'You can't force me.' You were stubborn.

'I'm the second in command, if I want I can force you.'

'Okay then, second in command.' You got closer to me.

'Raven, that's not going to change my mind.'

'Really?' You looked me in the eyes and got even closer.

'I don't know what you're try-.' Before I could finish my sentence you pulled me into a kiss.

'Good night.' You smirked.

The next day I asked you to be my girlfriend and you said yes, but of course Minho had to walk in and catch us. The next day he had told half of the Glade.

When we got out of the maze and into the Scorch I remember being really mad about the fact that they tortured you. I still am mad, cause if I ever see that guy then I'll- not the point.

Anyways. The last thing I remember is, maybe one of the greatest moments in my life, is that we did it. And you know what I mean with it.
But of course, for the thousandth time, Minho caught us. I don't know why he keeps doing that, maybe he wants to join? Nah, just kidding.

And the last thing is something that I don't remember, but I know:

I love you.

- Newt.
