The Glade 14
Side note there is spoilers for the Kill order so I request to skip the first paragraph, and remember Wicked is good.
Gemma wanted to wake up, but she couldn't. Gemma started to remember things, like the time she came to Wicked. Her parents worked at Wicked and they got the Flare when Gemma was four. Her parents brought Gemma to work every day so she knew the other kids. Her parents dropped her off and told her sorry but they had to leave her there, they were turning into Cranks. Gemma didn't make friends right away, but she did hit it off with her roommate well. Her name was Deedee. Wicked took Deedee and named her Teresa. Teresa worked for hours in the Wicked headquarters. Teresa and a boy named Thomas. Gemma was lonelier than ever, she would eat her means alone, she had no one to talk to only Teresa. When Teresa came to the room it would be late at night and would leave early in the morning. Teresa couldn't tell Gemma on what they were working on, it was a secret. Thomas, the boy who was always with Teresa, was roommates with two boys. One of the boys had a weird accent, the other one was always sassy. The one with the weird accent name was Newt, Wicked changed his name but he wouldn't tell me because they would get him in trouble. The other boy's name was Minho, Wicked had changed his name too. Wicked didn't change Gemma's name because everyone in Wicked knew her as Gemma. Well Gemma had spent a lot of time with them because they we're trying to find out what their roommates were building. Gemma got close to Newt, she was friends with Minho but Minho would always leave them to go play with the other kids, Newt never left her because he knew that she didn't have anyone. One day when they both were thirteen Newt came inside of Gemma's room and was crying.
"What's wrong?" asked Gemma hugging Newt. He came over to her bed and sat next to her and hugged her. Newt didn't say anything for a while. He finally said something.
"I know what they're doing," said Newt still crying and hugging Gemma. Gemma was very curious and couldn't help but ask.
"Teresa and Tommy made a Maze," said Newt almost in a whisper. He told her everything that happened in the Maze and that they would find a cure for the Flare. Newt said that they had already sent four boys and that he was next.
"You can't go," said Gemma crying with Newt and holding him closer. Newt would hug her back.
"I have too, they said that I'm going in tomorrow, I only have one night left," said Newt trying to control his tears, but he failed.
"Why don't they take someone else?" asked Gemma crying.
"They can't, they have a line-up, if I don't go I'll mess it up and I'll be a coward," said Newt.
"No, you won't be a coward Newt you're only thirteen you're still a kid," said Gemma looking up at Newt. Newt looked down at her, he didn't want to leave her, who would take care of her? Minho was going to go in the Maze in a couple of months.
"I can get into the computer and change the line-up so you don't have to go," said Gemma getting up and putting on her shoes.
"How are you going to get inside the headquarters?" asked Newt.
"I have Teresa's card," said Gemma. "Come on," said Gemma.
"What if we get caught?" asked Newt getting up from her bed and going out the door.
"Well they can't do anything to you, but I don't care, they could kill me for all I care," said Gemma closing the door. Gemma walked quickly but Newt stayed back, Gemma got tired of telling Newt to hurry so she got his hand and locked their hands together and Gemma pulled him. They got inside the headquarters and nobody was inside.
"What do we do now?" asked Newt getting nervous.
"I'm going to find the computer that has all the information and I'll hack into it," said Gemma sitting in a big chair in front of the computer screen. After many attempts to login inside the computer, she finally got something.
"Look! I can see the line-up!" said Gemma. She was about to read the names but she took out a hair tie and put her hair in a ponytail. She looked at him and smiled, she grabbed his hand and locked her fingers with his. He smiled back at her. She started to read the names out loud.
"Alby, Nick, Wes, James, Newt…" she stopped talking and clicked some buttons and tried to change his name but she couldn't.
"Why won't it work?" asked Gemma, she was getting frustrated. She didn't want to lose Newt. Newt was the only person she had. Newt put a hand on her shoulder and told her it was okay. Gemma got madder.
"No it's not okay Newt, you don't understand you're the only person I have, you're more than a friend Newt, you're… you're…" said Gemma with tears coming out of her eyes. Then something hit Gemma. Newt had kissed her, she didn't realize he had kissed her. It was her first kiss, she kissed back. When they separated they smiled at each other. Gemma tried harder but she didn't know the password to the account. Newt looked over her shoulder. As Gemma worked for about thirty minutes someone came in. It was Janson, he had a grin once he realized how was there.
"What are you doing here, Mr. Newton and Miss Gemma?" asked Janson with a smirk.
"Oh, nothing we just wanted to find out about the news," said Gemma clearing out the computers search history. Janson pushed Newt out of the way and grabbed Gemma by the arm and looked at the computer.
"So you just wanted to know about your parents, right?" asked Janson. What Janson had said made Gemma very angry, but she had to hold it in.
"I guess you can say that but we both know that if my parents have turned into cranks they would be eating your brains right now," said Gemma smiling at him. She got a hold of Newts hand and led the way out.
Later that night Newt slept over in Gemma's room, Teresa was working overnight so it was okay. Gemma made room for Newt in her bed. Newt went to her bed and he held her close to him. He hadn't realized but he loved her, he really did. Almost ten years they have been together and it took him that long. Newt had to tell her.
"Gemma," he said looking down at her face. "I love you," said Newt. Gemma was surprised, but she knew that she loved him too.
"I love you too," said Gemma giving Newt a kiss on his cheek. Newt smiled down at Gemma.
"You know, if we ran away I would marry you," said Newt.
"Where would we live?" asked Gemma, smiling.
"Wherever you want, we could build a cabin in the mountains and start a family," said Newt laughing. Gemma laughed with him, she was going to miss this.
"I'm going to miss you," said Gemma with tears coming out of her eyes.
"Don't cry, I'm not worth crying," said Newt hugging Gemma closer to him.
"Newt, you're worth every tear, you're worth a lot more," said Gemma. Newt didn't say anything else all he did was hug and hold Gemma they both slowly fell asleep.
