"Yeah... I walked straight into that one didn't I?"

All me and Jeff do is like he said - bandage up the slicers. We do though get some builders though. I'd sort of hoped I would see Win but I mostly and mainly didn't as I didn't want him to be hurt in the first place.

"Jeff!" An angry voice yells.

"What? I'm busy with Ricky, Tegan's coming!" Jeff yells.

I was currently watching how thick Jeff was putting a bandage on Ricky so then I jumped up then walked into the main part of the medi-hut.

"Gally?"

"Yes, it's me. Can you help?" I cross my arms and I observe his bleeding forehead, soaked in blood at the top right corner.

"Yes but what's the magic word?" I mutter sarcastically.

"Please."

"There you are, much better. Manners don't cost a penny Gally. Now what the shuck did you do to your head?" I ask whilst grabbing the necessary stuff to help him.

"Urhhh, a hammer was being chucked down to me from the lookout tower but I werent paying-OW!" (I just had dabbed a cotton wool on the bleeding part), "Not so hard! Anyway, I weren't paying attention - I was deep in thought - and well, I didn't catch it. That's where it landed."

I laugh at his absent-mindedness, "Well done Gal."

He now groans as I wipe antiseptic on the open gash, "Too much antiseptic!" He says flapping his hand around.

"Sorry." I say genuinely.

I then proceed to finish Gally and before he goes Jeff comes up to check on it. I tell him what I did.

"You're a natural Tegan."

I smile, "Thanks, Jeff."

Thomas' POV

I see my little sister Tegan come out of the medi-hut so I jog to her.

"Hey! Sis!" I yell then engulf my slender sister in a bear hug.

"Hey Thomas." She greets happily, I'm so glad she was doing okay before I came up.

I can't imagine how it felt to be her then.

"Let me walk you over to Newt and the other track-hoes. Frypan says the baggers will meet you there. Hey what are baggers?" I badger my sister.

"They're the ones who bury the bodies." Tegan says solemnly.

"Oh." I pause, "You going to be okay?" I ask concerned as we're walking along the emerald-green grass, a light and fresh breeze blowing in our faces gently.

"Yeah."

She doesn't look it though.

"Tommy! Tegan!" I hear Newt yell in his British accent.

"Tommy?"

"Newt calls me it. It's our bromance thing." I say quietly.

Tegan laughs then we stop as we arrived and stood in front of Newt.

"Hey." I respond to Newt.

He nods to me but giggles at Tegan.

"What's so funny?"

Oh my lord, she's on her period and she sounds so pissed it's hilarius. I think it's one of them mood swings things.

"Just... Nevermind."

He takes her hand and pulls her close to him and he hugs her really delicately and rubs at her lower back. She groans in happiness and satisfaction as Tegan gets chronic back pain when on.

"Thanks Newt." I hear her whisper into his ear and I see a grin spread across his face.

An extremely tall guy with greyish skin and sunken, hollow and black eyes shuffles towards us. His eyes darting at the three of us. His mouth is strung in an odd and creepy expression. His massive hands are drenched in mud. His lower arms are feckled with blood. This guy is disgusting and creepy.

"Tegan, this is Ed. He's a bagger." Newt comments, looking at Tegan's reaction of Ed, "He's going to take you to the deadheads, a part in the far forest away from you which is slowly dying. That's like our graveyard. You'll be joined by Emmanuel."

I look at Tegan and yank her in for a hug and I whisper into her ear: "Scream if you need me."

She nods.

"Tell Emmanuel no funny business. You as well Ed."

Ed grins almost evily.

He gives me the heebyjeebys and I give him the death stare. Ed nods slowly. Eyeing up and down my little sis. I don't really want her to go with these guys. At all.

"Off you go." Newt commands, though his face screams worry and anger.

"Guessing you don't like them guys?" I question one of my best mates.

When we talked a while the other day we became - along with Minho - back to our previous best mate trio.

"No. I don't like any of the baggers. They're creepy and make horrible, morbid and crass comments. I said no funny business because you wouldn't believe what these guys said they'd do if a girl came up in the box..."

"Why'd you let her go with them guys then?!" I question angrily now walking a tad closer to Newt.

"Woah Tommy, Alby's rule. Every person has to try every job. At least once. Other than the runner job. And hey, Minho has the day off so he's running the Glade. Especially the deadheads. That's what I was discussing earlier in the meeting." I feel much happier now.

"Good." Newt shakes his head at me, "What?" I ask him.

"You're really protective of her aren't you?"

"She's my sister, so I would be. Anyway. You're really in love with her, aren't you?"

He laughs nervously, looking at his feet.

"Yeah... I walked straight into that one didn't I?"

I chuckle, "Yep."

He blushes slightly and I go up to him and clap him on the back.

"Do you think she loves me?" Newt whispers, barely audiable.

I stare at him, and his stupid comments.

"Newt, I've just come up. And I don't remember anything like the rest of us. But a, I knew when I first saw you two together that she loves you. The way she looked at you. It was mesmerising to watch." Newt nods, boding me to continue, "B, she's told us all that she loves you when she remembered. C, when Winston, Frypan and Minho remembered they said you love her and she loves you."

Newt nods again, "Sure?"

"Sure."

"Sure? Really sure?"

"Sure as sure shank."

Newt chuckles, "Finally got the hang of Glade slang then?" Newt jokes, still looking longingly to the direction of the deadheads.

Two hours pass and Newt spots Tegan and Minho walking out onto the Glade towards us. He yells and summons them here. I give Minho a bro hug and Newt does too. Then Minho says for me and Newt to have a bro hug so we do.

Tegan's POV

"Bromance much." I joke, "Anyway, I gotta go to the sloppers-"

"Hang on." "Hold up." "Wait missy." My version of the golden trio says.

"What?!" I say, exasperated.

They all burst out laughing.

"How was Ed and Emmanuel with you?" I think about Newt's question.

Guyyyysss. I've just realised I've been spelling Aspergers wrong. It's not spelled Aspergeous. It's Aspergers. I don't know whether any of you noticed but I apologise. I spell things how they sound. That's why on the 27.11.17 I went through all my chapters, correcting it and other things. Like I have a certain idea for Newt and Tegan's first kiss in the Glade. It will be in the next two or three chapters.

Next is anyone want to suggest any feedback? I really do love your comments. Speaking of feedabck, koodos to crazy_mjb for proof-reading the first couple of chapters, (about chapter five or seven); and giving me advice on some character development as I have yet to read the books. And as you guys already know, I'm basing mine on the Maze Runner series books and films but mine will end differently. It's sort of like an au but it's still set in the Glade. As you guys already know.
