Wishing On Dandelions | Minho |

Letting Go

"And if they don't?" Thomas asked again, standing closer to Newt.

"They're gonna make it." He repeated firmly. "You okay?" Newt asked the girl sitting near him, watching has she tried to hold herself together.

"I'm fine."

"You're a terrible liar." Newts thick british accent spoke as he sat beside her.

"He has to make it, Newt. I don't want to think of life without him." Her usually chirpy voice was dull and hopeless. No one had ever seen Aria like this before, she was always the happy one helping everybody.

"I know." Newt sighed placing his hand comfortingly on her shoulder. "He'll make it."

Ariella stormed up from her seat, walking out to her and Minhos spot in the trees. She didn't care if she got sick from the rain she just had to get away from everyone. She needed space by herself, away from everyone's chatter about the chances of her boyfriend making it out alive or not. Newt and Gally were the only ones bringing her comfort but even then that wasn't enough. All she could think about was that she needed him. She needed his arms holding her tight, ensuring her that everything was going to be alright. But he's wasn't with her. Instead she was alone being able to do nothing but hope he was alive and safe.

The rain had now stopped but her clothes were soacked through, her hair sticking to her face. Ariella's brown eyes stayed fixated on the doors, too scared to look away. The runner picked a dandelion from the ground, admiring the plant. "Come back to me." She whispered, closing her eyes as her breath blew against the seeds, sending them flying gracefully into the wind.

"We're gonna go wait by the doors, you coming?" Gally softly spoke as he walked over to the small teen. Ariella just simply nodded, standing up from the ground, her body dripping from the rain that drenched her.

"Come on guys, can't we send someone after them?" Thomas asked as all the galders gathered around the doors.

"It's against the rules. Either they make it back or they don't." Newt said sadly.

"Let me go in there, Newt." Ella spoke up.

"Can't risk loosing anyone else." Newt dismissed the idea straight away not wanting anyone else to get hurt.

"She's a runner, let her go." Thomas argued for her, the girl sending him a thankful smile.

"She's not going anywhere." Gally disagreed, pulling his sister closer to him. He was scared that if he let go he'll never see her again, knowing she'd do anything for Minho.

"No. No. No." Panic flooded Ariellas senses as the large concrete doors began to close.

"There!" Thomas exclaimed pointing into the maze. Gallys grip on Ella's waist tightened as Minho's grunts could be heard as he appeared from around the corner, carrying Alby with him.

"Something wrong." Aria's voice shook, seeing Minho struggling to support their leader.

"Come on, Minho, you can do it!" Chuck shouted encouraging words at the runner.

"Gally, let me help him!" Ella pleaded, trying to pull herself away from his grip but it was no use. "Please."

"Minho, you got to leave him!" Gally shouted. He knew there was no stopping Ella so the only thing to do was hope that Minho left Alby in the maze and run through at the last second.

"They're not gonna make it." Newt realised as they all continued to watch Minho struggle.

"I love you, go." Gally kissed the blondes forehead as he let go of her. It was the hardest thing Gally had to do. He knew their survival chances were low surviving the night in the maze but Aria would have never forgive him if he continued holding on to her.
