As I came to my senses and my eyes slowly opened I heard a voice.

"Anne, wake up."

My heart sped up a bit at those words. The first person I imagined being next to me was Chuck. My little brother. The reason I was in this position in the first place. In some way, him being taken could be seen as a good thing. I've met all these wonderful people... who I guess I will have for the rest of my short life.

But when I woke up more I realized it wasn't my brother, it was Minho. I noticed we were in cargo hold where there was an array of furniture. I was on a couch with a blanket on top of me.

"We made it?" I asked, my throat dry.

"Yeah. We did. I hate to say it but I'm glad Brenda was here. When we got on the Berg she took the bullet out of you and fixed you up in the medical area. We brought you here to sleep with the rest of us," Minho informed me.

I sat up a little with the help of Minho. My shoulder still hurt like a bitch. There was some bandages over it, concealing the stitched up wound. I saw that Newt, Thomas, and Brenda were all lying on a couch or a reclinable chair. All them were passed out.

"Why'd you wake me up?" I asked the boy.

"You were crying in your sleep. I thought something was wrong."

"I saw my br-" I began to cough before I could finish. "Can I get some water?" I managed to get out.

"Yeah, one sec." Minho stood up and exited the cargo hold.

When he came back he had a glass cup in his hand. Just seeing the water sloshing around made my mouth seem dryer then it was. When the coldness of the glass touched my fingertips I instantly brought it up to my mouth. I chugged the water down so fast it felt like it barely touched my tongue.

"Thirsty, huh?" Minho chuckled.

"Damn right I was thirsty. I could drink the whole ocean if I had the chance."

Minho smiled. "So what were you going to say?"

My face dropped. "I saw my brother, Chuck."

Minho's eyebrows furrowed. "Oh, I'm sorry, Anne."

"No, no. It's okay. I felt like I got to say goodbye to him. I don't know if I'd ever get that opportunity."

The black-haired boy grabbed my hand. "Well I'm happy. At least something good happened to you in this jacked world."

"And I'm grateful for it."

Minho then sat next to me. He traced the veins on my hands ever so delicately. It was calming. That calmness brought an abundance of thoughts to my mind. One of which, was Newt. I thought back to when I told him I had loved him... and how we kissed. I don't know what would be worse, telling Minho, or letting him be blissfully unaware. He had an extremely hot head. Who knows what he would do?

"Whatcha' thinkin' about?" Minho said, interrupting my thoughts.

I escaped out of my mind fir a moment to answer him. "Just all of this. Everything that's happened to us."

I felt guilty for lying. How could I not? I loved Minho. He's never given up on me. How could I lie to the boy who's never lied to me?

"Minho, I have to tell you something. You're going to hate me after I tell you, but I'll understand. I just can't not to tell you. It'll drive me more crazy than this disease in my head."

Minho squeezed my hand. "I already know."

My eyes widened. "What? How could you possibly know?"'

"Newt told me you guys kissed."

I let out a shaking breath. "He did?"

"Yeah. It was when Brenda was ripping the bullet out of you. Now, I was shucking mad. I was going to strangle him. But, when I saw you on that table, bleeding, I knew it was pointless to be mad."

I was shocked. "How could you not be mad?! How are you even near me right now?"

"I wasn't mad because you could have died on that table. Life is so short, Anne. You could be gone at any moment. And I know that you don't love Newt now, you love me. That's all that should matter. And it is."

I smiled. Utter joy filled my soul. "I do! I love you so much, Minho. Even with my brain making me act like a different person at times, I still love you. That's always going to be true."

"You are so shucking beautiful," Minho said, looking into my eyes.

I placed my hands on his cheeks and brought his face to mine. We kissed like the world was going to end. His lips on mine made me feel like I was at home again and I had nothing to worry about.

Minho got to his feet and held out his hand. I took it in an instant. He led me out of the cargo hold into a different room. This room had a sink, cabinets filled with food, and a few chairs and a couch. It must serve as a resting room to eat, or talk with people. But that wasn't what we were here for.

Minho brought me to the couch and sat me down. He sat next to me before kissing me gently. His hands ran down my body. His touch made me tingle on the inside. His hand landed on my back and pulled me closer. We pulled apart for a moment and Minho grabbed the bottom of the plain, blue t-shirt I had on.

"Can I?" He whispered.

"Please," I answered.

Minho eagerly, but gently, took my shirt of my body. I felt timid at first, but I knew it was stupid to be. He then reached around and unhooked my bra. As he stared at me, my cheeks heated up.

"Wow," he said quietly. "You're so amazing."

I smiled before kissing him. I ran my fingers through his dark hair that I loved so much. He began to trail kisses down my body. His lips touched places I've never been touched before. And I felt emotions I had never felt before. My shoulder was hurting, but I didn't care.

I took off his shirt and pants and he took of mine. We laid on the couch kissing, touching, being close. But, we didn't feel close enough. Soon, we were completely naked.

"Are you okay with this?" Minho asked me.

I kissed him on his pink lips. "Yes."

We laid on the couch feeling closer then we ever have before. Our hot breaths mixed together. My nails ran down his back as he gripped on to the couch cushions.

"Oh, Anne," he breathed. "I love you so much."

The feeling of Minho was so over whelming that I couldn't tell him that I loved him back.

"Do you love me?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Say it. Say that you do."

I breathed in heavily. "I love you, Minho," I moaned. "I love you."
