You lay on a dirty mattress,legs curled up to your chin... Just waiting for the sweet release of death. You were a Crank,you knew your fate was sealed. Night falls and you make your way up the broken steps and to the balcony,placing your hands on the dirty railing as you watched the stars shine in the night sky like diamonds. You just longed to love the stars you lived under because they were the only things that ever stayed the same.

"Ain't it bloody weird,how we look up at the same stars and see such different things?" You turn around to see a blonde boy,pale face but eyes that still shone.  "Shit,sorry. Did you want to be alone?"

"I want the opposite of that," you say as he stands beside you,looking up where you're looking. "So... Crank?"

"Yeah. A bloody crank. I never thought I'd be alive at this buggin' point anyway. Names Newt," he holds out his hand.

You shake it with a weak smile- "Y/N."

"My friends are looking for me," he explains "they think there's a life to live out there,what kind of a life? This is our extinction event."

"There is a place for us out there somewhere... It's just a shame we'll never see it. Just the same old boring stars." You sit yourself on the railing. He climbs up wincing,you take his hand and help him up. Your arm stays on his shoulder as you notice it was his leg holding him back;you decide not to ask. Everyday that you both were was already dead anyway.

"I wish I met you before the world ended. You seem cool Newt. Where were you,before this?"

"I was in the trapped in the maze. We called it the Glade,with my friends."

"How do you get out of it?"

"Tommy found a way. Just like he always does. But now... now I'll never get to tell Tommy I'm was happy he was happy."

"Were you happy?"

"I was."

You sigh and close your eyes for a few seconds. "you wanna know where I was before all this?" You ask and he nods in response "I was just drifting around trying to live,to survive. I was nobody. Nothing. Some scared girl who lost everything. I can't remember a normal,happy life but I still miss it. "

"That's how it's supposed to be,people like you deserve that."

"I wish I could just change. You're made for the way things are now."

"I'm just used to this,things being ugly. But... you're not."

"I'll be gone soon Newt."

"Stop."

"I will. You're gonna be the last man standing... you are. You're gonna miss me so bad when I'm gone."

"I haven't lived. We haven't lived like teenagers should."

You raise your brow- "What do you mean?"

"I've never... been to a party,danced,loved... I've never kissed someone."

"I... Can change that," you whisper. "Make me immortal with a kiss."

He shuffles closer to you,letting out a shaky breath as he places his warm hand on your cold cheek. He gulps and rests his head on yours- "There's still good people,ain't there?"

"I don't think the good ones survive..." You whisper as he presses his lips to yours...
