Newt's POV:
Thomas and I walk into a room once we'd had our showers and we see Frypan.
"Guys, you're ok" he says and we have a group hug.
"I guess, that white room was ridiculous" Thomas says
"Yeah, my mind was playing up a bit. How'd you guys handle it?"
"I just cared about if you guys were ok"
"Having the flare didn't help. I was going crazy. I wouldn't stop screaming and the pain wouldn't go away. That was until Thomas came" I say
"I guess you were like that because, one colour, especially white, confuses the brain and it can't think straight anymore and starts sending you insane"
"How do you know that?" Frypan questions and I was thinking the same thing. Thomas was about to say something until we hear another familiar voice.
"You guys are actually here"
"Minho!" Thomas says excitedly as he comes over and gives us a hug and I see Teresa and Aris behind him.
"You guys ok?" Minho asks
"We are now, now that we're out of those shucking rooms" I say
"Aris, good to see you man" Frypan says clapping Aris on the shoulder.
Teresa just remains at the back.
"Teresa, come here and you can explain what happened like you did to me" Minho said and Teresa walks over.
"I'm so sorry guys. I got my memories back and... It just feels right to find the cure. Just thinking about all the people who have to suffer" she says and I stiffen. Knowing that I was one of those people still scared me. I scratch the back of my neck as I do when I'm nervous and Thomas grabs my hand, noticing my sudden nervousness.
"I guess we can forgive you, they still got us anyway" Frypan says "plus, Thomas was one of them originally as well so, it'd be unfair to hate one and like the other"
"Oh and one more thing guys, there's someone he who will surprise you. Aris, can you go and get you know who?" Minho orders and Aris nods and goes to find whoever they were talking about.
"Let's have a seat while we wait shall we" Teresa says and we sit at the only table in the room. It takes five minutes for Aris to get back and when he does, fear and anger surge throughout my body, igniting a flame inside, getting the same feeling I had in the room.
"Gally?" Thomas questioned.
Hearing his named encouraged my rage and I started to tense up, fighting the evil inside. My head pounded, deafening all sounds around me. Before I could stop myself, I'm heading towards Gally and I attack him. Pinning him on the ground and punching him. He also tries to fight back but it was no use. I was stronger.
"Newt stop!"
I feel Thomas and Minho dragging me away from Gally.
"Let me go! Let me go! He deserves it! He deserves to die! He should be dead!"
"Newt calm down! You're letting it take control. Fight back" Thomas says and makes me look at him. My anger then starts to fade and I shake my head.
"I'm sorry" I say realising what I had done.
"What the frigin hell just happened?" Teresa questioned
"I thought you guys would've known already" Frypan says
"Know what?" Aris questions
"I wanna know why Newt is so shucking crazy that he bloody attacked me on sight" Gally says
I feel tears spilling from my eyes and Thomas rubs my back to keep me from breaking down. I try to keep it quiet.
"The reason why Newt acted that way is because..." Thomas starts and then looks at me and I get up and start walking away but stop and slouch slightly as more tears spill from my eyes and I turn my face towards them and let it out.
"Is because... I'm a crank" I say
"What?" My friends question. I just look away again
"And yet he's not a fully gone one but is stronger than me" Gally says and I hear someone punch him, I predicted it to be Thomas. My anger starts to rise again. A chair stands to my left and I grab it and throw it across the room but that's all I do. I lean against the wall and breath. I then feel a hand on my shoulder and I look at them to see Thomas standing there and I turn away. I feel him put one of his hands on my hip which sends shivers up my spine at his touch. I then turn around.
"Remember what I said. You're not alone on this one" Thomas says and I nod.
"How about we show you where we're all staying?"
Teresa, Gally, Minho and Aris lead us to a humongous dorm, like the one we were in before running into the scorch.
"And here we are once again" Frypan says
"It's not that bad, Wicked have kind of kept their promise with what I asked of" Teresa says and I scoff and she gives me a look.
"I said kind of Newt"
"Still what ever" I reply
I see Thomas walk over to her and she nods at whatever he said to her. Probably just to ignore my attitude. I look to my left and see Gally glaring at me slightly. I don't think he had changed from what he was like in the maze. A bully. A real bully. No one knew apart from himself of course, of his actions of violence and verbal abuse towards me.
"Thomas I wanna know how you knew that fact you stated earlier. You are not usually that smart, no offence" Frypan says
"None taken. I suppose I should tell you guys but, I don't know if I'm allowed to but who cares"
"Spill it"
"To get you and Newt out of those rooms, I had to do something for Wicked"
"What?" I question
"I had to get my memories back"
"So you have them?" Teresa asks
"Yeah, that's why I knew the fact of a room, all the same colour, could drive someone insane"
"And looks like it actually worked on someone" Gally said looking in my direction.
I had had it with him. He was starting to go at me again. I then stand up and slam the door and stand in the hallway. I then hear some arguing going on from inside the room. Minho then walks outside.
"You ok?" Minho asks me
I just remain quiet, not looking at him.
"Gally didn't mean anything by it. It's Gally, you should know that"
"He's right though" I say and kick at the floor.
"Newt..."
"No he is, I'm the only one who lost it. But I have a reason, even though it's lame. I should've had more control"
"Newt, the flare, it changes you. You can't keep your emotions balanced, particularly anger. Just try to ignore Gally ok"
I shrug but nod as well.
"Good that" Minho says "let's head back inside"
Thomas' POV:
Newt and Minho enter back into the room. I had given Gally a bit of a talking too, but he was still as stubborn as usual. I then walk over to Newt.
"You ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine now. Just needed to leave the room"
"I gave Gally a talking to, he better be on the lookout of what he's saying about you because, I will hurt him"
Newt then laughs
"Remember Thomas, never harm another glader"
"Yes Alby"
We both chuckle
"But seriously, I won't let him hurt you" I say
"Thanks" Newt says and then yawns.
"Looks like you need a sleep" I laugh
"Yeah, haven't had any for like a week"
"Seriously?"
"I was being literal when I said I only screamed in that shuckin room"
"Geez, you get to bed right now mister"
"Yes mum" he says and I slap him on the back as he walks over to his bed and then nods off.
"I'm following Newt's actions, I'm tired" Frypan says
"Yeah, you three especially need your sleep. Wicked are going to be training us to see where we're at with fitness" Teresa says
"Yeah, well, night everyone" I say and take the bed above Newt's.
"Night"
