Save Me - The Maze Runner AU

Gunfire

Thomas's pov

Newt begs me to kill him.

I can't. I just can't. I know he'll kill me if I don't. The only way that I can avoid doing what he says is to get away

I can't think of how to convince him to stop this so I know I have to get away. I role over so I'm on to of him and the gun was partially in my hand already, so I can easily wrench it out of his hands. I run before he can react. I run a few blocks away. I hide

I start to think. I hate myself. I start thinking about chuck. I couldn't save him. I couldn't find his mom.

I stare at the gun. It could all be over. I could be with chuck and all my troubles could be gone. No more wicked, no more, scorch, and no more cranks. It could all be over.

I put the gun to my temple and pull the trigger.

"Thomas? Thomas!"

In that split second that I heard Newts voice I realized I didn't want to die. Right before the bullet pierces my skull I pull it away. It hits my leg. I see blood gush from it and hear footsteps. If cranks find me they would eat me alive. I was wounded and vulnerable.

I see Newt come running down the street with a worried look on his face.

"Thomas! What happened!?"

I groan. It's the only thing I can manage to communicate that I'm still alive.

And then I black out.
