chapter 44 || letters and getting better

Thomas' POV

I sat on the Berg's floor as I stared at Y/N's lifeless body. Brenda and Teresa broke out into a fit of sobs as Minho, Fry, Gally, and I stared at the girl.

"Let's get her up onto a bed to heal her wound" Vince ordered.

Minho quickly grabbed ahold of her, carrying her to a room in the Berg that was besides Newt's.

"Teresa! Come in here!" Vince ordered the brunette. 

I watched as she wiped away her tears, walking to the room that we lay Y/N in. Teresa lifted up Y/N's shirt, revealing a hole in her abdomen. It made me want to puke. Blood dried blood was on her shirt and new blood was still processing it's way out.

"Can you help her?" Vince asked as his tone softened. Teresa nodded slowly as she was given a first aide kit. 

She rummaged through the large box, searching for gauze and bandages.

"I'm going to check on Newt" I said to them, walking out.

"Wait! Thomas!" I heard from behind me. I turned around, and Teresa stared up at me.

"Here. Bring Gally with you" She said, walking back into Y/N's room. 

I only nodded as I stared at her, puzzled. I looked into the tiny vial, curiously. A blue liquid lay in it as the vial read "W.C.K.D". The cure.

"Gally" I called out into the Berg, as he emerged from the main part of it. "We need to give this to Newt" I held up the glass vial as he nodded.

"Gally, are you sure this is going to work?" Minho questioned as we stared at the boy holding up a knife.

"Yes, I'm sure. Lawrence and his men did this on me. I'm positive it'll work" Gally reassured us. "Wait, where's the Bliss?" 

"Right here" Brenda said as she walked in.

"Okay, I'm going to cut him open, and I'm going to need you guys to pour in about 10 vials of the Bliss, okay?" Gally asked us as we all nodded.

I watched as Gally made the first incision, Minho, Brenda and I began pouring the Bliss in, one vial at a time. I watched as the blood mixed with the blue liquid, almost hypnotizing me.

After the ten bottles, Gally began stitching up the boy. His hands covered in blood. The veins in Newt's neck began to disperse and lighten up.

"Did it wor-" Brenda asked as a loud gasp escaped from the blond boys mouth. We all stared in shock as we witnessed the boy pop back to life.

"This had to have been crazier than Gally coming back to life" Minho said as he let out a small laugh.

"Thomas? Minho?" Newt asked, his frail body sat up a little.

"Newt!" Minho and I exclaimed as we ran to lightly hug our best friend. He too had stared up to us in shock.

"What happened?" He mumbled as his eyes switched from each person.

"You killed yourself that's what happened" Minho scoffed as he patted his friend on the back.

"Wha- Where's Y/N?" Newt asked, coming to realization that she wasn't apart of our group huddle.

"Oh shit, Thomas, pass me the cure" Gally said, interrupting my thoughts.

I handed him the serum as he injected it into Newt's body. The boys eyes and body lost all of their veins in a matter of seconds. 

"She's getting stitched up by Teresa..." Minho said.

"Teresa? What is she doing here?" Newt questioned.

"Y/N saved me" A girl's voice said. We all shot our heads to the door, revealing Teresa in a stained white shirt and orange cardigan.

"How'd you know Gally would be able to bring Newt back to life?" I asked.

"Gally was brought back to life somehow, I figured he'd know" 

"It didn't cross my mind until you guys said something" Gally defended himself.

- - - -

We all sat in a smaller room on the other side of the ship. Well, all of us besides Y/N and Newt.

"Hey, just thought I'd drop this off" Vince said as he popped into the room, placing down a rather wrecked journal. 

It wasn't in the worse conditions, but there were blood markings on the cover and on the back.

"What's that?" Brenda asked as I picked it up.

"I'm not sure..."

I flipped through the pages, not caring to read through them, until seven envelopes fell into my lap. All of them marked with a name. One of our names. I turned back a few pages, reading "Love Y/N" written effortlessly on the paper in black ink. I dropped the letters and the journal on the table as tears brimmed my eyes. 

"What is it?" Minho asked as he too picked up the journal before slamming it back on the table.

The other's did variations of the same thing, as they then began to let out small sniffles as well. I just hoped that Y/N was able to live. For my sanity, and for Newts. 

"What do we do with the notes?" I asked.

"We open them duh, that's what Y/N wants us to do" Minho said as he pointed to a part of her journal. 

We all quietly grabbed our envelopes that had our names on them none of us dared to open them as we admired her hand writing. We left Newt's in the middle of the table, waiting before handing him the envelope.

"On the count of three" Minho said.

"One" 

"Two"

"Three"

I slowly opened the letter, my eyes brimming to tears as I began reading it. I noticed the others had tears as well.

Dear Thomas,

You always struck me as interesting. Ever since the first day you came up in the box, and tripped over your own to feet as you ran through the Glade, I knew you reminded me of someone. And that someone was me. I remember myself in your shoes, except I was thrown to the ground instead of tripping over my shoes! You've been our clue on how to get out of this world, and now we're free! Thanks to you!

Thomas, you've been an amazing leader and a great friend to us all. You deserve honestly the world, and I don't know where we would all be without you. Almost all of us would probably be Cranks or dead. 

I can't tell you enough how grateful I am to have been stuck in a maze with you. Whether it was falling into the maze with you on your second night, or following you into deadly situations in the Scorch, I've always trusted you. I trust you to take care of all of them in the Safe Haven, and I know you'll make the right decisions.

Thank You, Tommy. I know you'll be amazing. And don't blame yourself. It's not your fault and none of this ever was.

Love Y/N
