Thomas x Teresa (Maze Runner)

"It's over,"

The phone call ended before Teresa could answer. Her boyfriend (now known as ex-boyfriend) had broken up with her. They had dated for five months! Heck, he was the one who confessed first and now they broke up. The worst thing was that the 'breaking up process' was done over a phone. He didn't even ask her to meet up with him!

She furiously dialed a number on her phone. After the third ring, a cheery voice greeted her.

"Hey Teresa, you called at the right time! I was just about to call you to..." he stopped when he heard her sobs. "What happened?" he asked gently.

"Can we meet at the usual spot?" she asked.

"Sure, I'll be there in about fifteen ," he replied as she hung up.

*Time Skip*

Teresa was already at the park behind her school, her favourite place. She and Thomas came here as often as they could to hang out. It was where they would share their troubles since they were kids.

She went to the maze at the center of the park. She knew the maze like the back of her hands and reached the end in no time. As she had expected, Thomas was already there waiting for her.

"Hey," she greeted.

He smiled genuinely.

They sat on a bench with a little distance between them.

"So..." Thomas started, "why are you sobbing when I called?" he asked with his eyes filled with concern.

"We're over," she said. She could feel that her eyes were watery.

"Newt left you?" Thomas stood up from the bench. Newt was his best friend, he was happy when Teresa and Newt became official but now...

"F*ck, I'm gonna find him!" he said angrily.

"No!" Teresa grabbed Thomas' wrist. "Don't, p-please don't. I was not a good girlfriend anyway, I guess thats was why he left me..." she started to shake. She wanted to hold her tears back but failed to do so.

She covered her face with her hands. She didn't want Thomas to see that fac when she cried. Suddenly, she felt Thomas' arms embracing her. She rested her head on his chest.

"Shh... just cry, let it all out," he said gently. "I'm here for you,"

Silence surrounded them. Only the sounds of Teresa's sobs could be heard.

"He's been a dick lately," Thomas said, breaking the silence between the two. He tried to maintain a straight face but the sadness on her face immediately broke his heart.

"Yeah," Teresa said as she continued to sob .

They stayed in each other's arms for what seemed like an eternity. Teresa felt safe and warm in Thomas' arms and she did not want this moment to end, ever.

What is happening to me? She thought. She knew she liked Thomas as more than just a friend but she thought she was over that, that was why she dated Newt. She did not think she still had a crush on her best friend that would never love her back.

Thomas felt like he could die happily. He was finally holding the girl he loved in his arms. He and Teresa had been close since they were kids but recently Thomas had realized that his little crush on Teresa had transformed into love but he didn't know if she could ever think of him as anything else besides a friend. So the million dollar question still remained, should he tell her he loves her? No, she might think that he was taking advantage of her current state. However, a different part of him mind was yelling him to do so because he might never get another chance.

Come on! He thought, you're the guy that laughs at teacher's faces and you're scared to confess to the girl you love?

"Teresa?" he said.

"Yeah?"

"I think..." he paused, he felt as if there was a stone in his throat. It's now or never, Thomas. "I think I love you." he said. He could feel her body go stiff in his arms. Thoughts were a hurricane of confusion in his head. Is she going to reject me? Will she say she loves me? If not does she still want to be my friend?

"Thomas, I-I think I love you too," she replied.

His mind could not process what she had said. She said she loved him. She just said she LOVED him. He loved her and she loved him back.

He pulled back to look into her eyes, they were filled with joy, excitement and most of all, love.

"Please tell me this is all not just a dream," Thomas said. "On a second hand, don't say anything. I want this moment to last forever," he said as he shed tears of joy. The girl of his dreams, the girl that's been his crush for the past four years actually liked him back.

"It's real Thomas. It really is," Teresa answered. Her voice immediately cooed Thomas but life was not done with throwing shit at them.

Gally, one of Thomas' worst enemy was at the same park with the asshole gang of his. As they saw  Thomas holding Teresa in his arms, they immediately strutted towards them. The gang started laughing at the two and they began shouting harsh remarks at them.

"What do we have here, another one night stand?"

"I'm surprised Teresa isn't pregnant yet."

"Teresa the slut and Thomas the playboy? What a perfect match!"

"Hmm, I wonder how long will this two last? Maybe an ho-"

"Enough," Thomas roared, he was trying very hard to not punch Gally ugly face. "Teresa let's get out of here," without hesitating, Thomas grabbed her hand and they went off. However, Gally wasn't going to let them of the hook so easily. Gally grabbed Thomas when he passed him.

"Going so soon? We only just got here," Gally sneered. Thomas could not suppress the urge anymore. He drew his fist back and punched Gally in the face. 

"Oh no you didn't."

Thomas and Gally engaged each other in a heated fight. Teresa tried to intervene, scared that Thomas would be seriously injured, but Gally's gang members held her back while she yelled and begged for them to stop.

After a few minutes of fighting, Thomas decided to give it all he got and punched Gally in the jaw, almost knocking him out.  When the gang members saw Gally in a daze they rushed over to him, fortunately forgetting about Teresa. Teresa ran to Thomas and started sobbing into the crook of his neck. He ran his fingers through her hair, just like he would do to comfort her when she fell down or lost her favorite doll when they were kids.

"I'm okay. Its okay. We're gonna be okay." He whispered quiet nonsense into her hair. She looked up and gave a kiss on his cheek.

"Yeah," she said. They would be okay, maybe not all the time but they would always find the treasure after the tragedy.
