(Y/N)'s P.O.V.:
It has been a few hours since Ben's banishment. I woke up ,in the middle of the night, feeling my whole body sore and my eyes dried out. I had cried myself to sleep under the tree I had hid behind. I got up and streched. I closed my eyes and listened carefully. I could hear some Grievers' growlings in the distance, the animals' bleats and faint snorring sound bou other than that nothing, silence as prevalent as death reigned over the Glade. In other word very quiet. I yawned a sigh that told me that I needed to go sleep. I started walking towards my hut to go and get some more sleep. When I reached my hammock I lay down to it. I was so tired of this day, so tired of crying, so tired of everything. I took a comfortable position. A few minutes later I changed it. I did the same again and again. After the 32nd time I figured it wasn't about the position. I just couldn't sleep. I turned the other way for the 24th time and looked out the window. Lucky me I had a clear view of the moon at that time of the day. It's funny how looking at a sphere made of metal and dust makes you feel peacefully inside.
'I wonder if Ben is watching the same moon right now, that is if he is still...no he IS alive I shouldn't think negatively'
I felt my eyes get teary again but I had enough crying. As I trying to get a hold of myself I saw a figure more like a shadow waliking in the moonlight outside. Without thinking I got up and went outside to see who it was. I tried to listen to the sound of his footsteps to find him and I followed it. The figure stopped in front of the walls.
"What are you doing?" I asked a bit roughly. The mysterious boy ginally turned around. "Thomas?!" I said surprised to see him. "What are you doing out here at this hour?" I continiued asking him.
"I could ask you the same thing." He talked back, he looked pissed "I couldn't sleep" he answered softer. He had probably regreted talking like that to me.
"Why?" I asked softer too.
"What..." he hesitated "What will happen to him in there?" He asked.
The question I didn't want to answer and ask myself and the answer I did not want to accept. He made me do all of it.
"He's gonna die Thomas!" I said loudly so I could hear it myself. "He is gonna...die if he isn't already dead" I answered calmer.
"I'm sorry" He said and looked away. His apology brought me back to my senses.
"You did nothing wrong so don't apologise. You didn't bite him nor killed him. So don't apologise." I said.
He looked at me then at the ground. I was facing the walls the whole time but this was the only time after a long time I felt trapped in here.
"Why is this happening to us?" He started "Why are we forced to live like this?"
"I wish I knew" I said and sighed "I want to leave this place" I said with a logging tone. Thomas looked at me. He looked like what I said caught him off guard.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing...It's just that I wasn't expecting you to feel that way." He explained. He probably saw my offended expresion and realised he had to explain this further. "You see every time I talk to Alby about thas he looks angry and when I try to talk to Newt or Chuck the don't want to listen to me and are evading the subject. It's like I'm the only one that doesn't want to be here" He finished. I totally underestood that.
'Now that I think about it when did I stop thinking like that? and why did I stop thinking like that?'
"I get it, it was like that with me too but, as time went by I got quite used to it" I expressed this thought out loud for the first time to a person. Silence followed.
"Can I trust you with something?" He asked.
"I guess you can, I mean if you feel like you should tell me or you just want to trust me, I won't tell anyone". I answered.
"I've been having these strange dreams the nights I've been here". His confession reminded me of my situation so naturally I was curious.
"Like nightmares?" I asked
"No, like strange more like...memories" He was obviously struggling to explain.
'What there is no way! It is like mine..It can't be can it?"
"Do you remember what you see?" I asked desperate to learn more about it.
"Not completely, I remember something about 'wicked is good' or something along those lines, labs , the maze oh and a girl with dark hair and blue eyes. They don't actually make a lot of sense." He looked at me hoping that I would underestand and would explain to him.
"I see" Was the only thing I managed to say. He looked dissapointed. I wasn't sure if I should tell him about my dreams, afterall I didn't even know this guy that well, then again it would feel nice to tell somebody about these-
'What are you doing Y/N! You can't get close with him you gave a promise!Just change the subject'
"Ah by the way I didn't have the chance to introduce myself I'm-"
"Y/N ,I know" He interrupted me.
"How do you know my name?"
"Everyone keeps talking about you wherever I go and since you are the only girl here it made recognising you very easy. Also Chuck told me about you in the infirmary" he completed.
"Oh so you like gossiping about me?" I teased him.
"Wha- no that's not-" He tried to explain himself. By that point his face looked as red as a tomato, he looked like a puppy that made a mistake. I couldn't hold it anymore I started laughing. When he realised what was going on he seemed more embarassed but laughed too. I was looking at him.
'He should definitely laugh more'
I thought and smiled at that thought. As I was looking at him he faced me too and we made eye contact. None of us turned the other way, instead we kept looking at each others eyes for a small time period that felt like ages.
'Y/N what are you doing stop!'
"A-Anyway" I said braking the eye contact. I got up I had to get away from there. "We better go and get some sleep. Afterall we have work tomorrow" I told him and offered him my hand to get up. He took it and followed my example.
'His hand is warm and soft just like last ti- STOP Y/N!'
I turned my back and as I was ready to leave I remebered something.
"Oh and Thomas, about your dreams and stuff, don't tell anyone else about them, the are gonna get you in trouble." I warned him. He seemed sceptical about what I had just said but he nodded. The night ended with each of us taking our way to our hammocks. When I arrived I fell flat at it.
"Ugh, what's the matter with you Y/N! It literally has only been a few hours and you just go and break your promises just like that!" I nagged myself out loud so I could hear me and sighed. The next thing I tried to do was to find a good enough excuse why I broke the promise. In the end I found none.
"Ok that's it, starting from this morning I will keep me distance from him" I announced and went to bed. Tomorrow would be proved to be a big day afterall. The day that would change everything- no the things had already started changing two days ago, but still, I would need all the energy I could have.
