We make a bonfire and sit on some tree stumps around it. Nobody talks, only Newt who checks up on me and says

"You alright love" I shake my head and he pulls me into a hug. Minho is the worst, I think he thinks that it is his fault because he was the one that agreed to let him go. He his also keeper of the runners so he thinks he is responsible fo everything. All the Gladers go to bed apart from me, Minho and Newt. We walk to our hut and sit down.

"Y/n this can't of happened again. We can't have lost another person" He says,

"I know Minho but the maze is a dangerous place, Sam wasn't ready for that. Like George he did this out of his own will and it's just unfortunate that he didn't make it" I say,

"Do you think there is the slightest chance he will make it" Minho asks,

"I think that the Grievers come out at night and that they will find him, they might not kill him but he could get stung and turn mad. You saw what Nick nearly did" I reply. 

"Ok" Minho whispers. We all fall asleep and wake up. Minho and I run to the maze doors and see the piece of paper we left there. Sam had written us a note.

Dear Minho and y/n

I am not going to make it. Thank you for making me feel safe and happy here. I just wanted to let you know that it is not your fault. I fell over - just like Nick did but this time I wasn't there. I found your note probably 2 hours after the doors closed but I can see Grievers everywhere. I have got stung and it is starting to hurt. I am really so-

Then the note stops. The word which I expect to be sorry had been cut off. 

"Minho I think we should take our day off today okay"

"Alright" He replies. We make Sam a grave and put it right next to George's. This time we wrote, this shank thought we could go solo. We all stand around it for a few minutes and then leave. I'm about to go to the homestead but someone grabs my arm.

"Y/n ready for that date" Newt says. I smile. He takes me to a cliff edge and we sit down. By this time it is 4:45 and it is getting pretty dark as I am assuming it is winter. He gives me blanket and we put it over us. He opens a basket and brings out some food. There is popcorn there! Newt sees me looking at it and says,

"Haha Minho helped me with that"

"Looks yummy" I reply. We look up at the sky and see the stars starting to form. We lay on our backs and hold hands. "Thank you Newtie," I say. He grins. We look at them for a while and it is nearly pitch black. Newt brings out a lantern and we put it between us. He looks into my eyes and we kiss. He pulls apart and says

"Promise me you won't die" He says,

"I promise" I say laughing. We pick up the stuff and go back to the homestead. I jump into Newt's hammock and we fall asleep.
