Chapter 35: It's Been a Crazy Ride

"Won't you hold my hands over my heart?
I want you to close my eyes when it grows dark"

"We thought you died". Gally told Aaron who looked back to him.

"Walkie died. Not me. We got out just in time". Aaron clarified, crossing his arms over his chest and let out a deep sigh. "She hasn't left his body for almost ten minutes". Aaron said.

Gally shook his head softly.  "I can't believe he's actually gone.  Out of everyone, Newt should've been the one that stayed".  Gally kept his composer but on the inside he was screaming.

Aaron looked at Gally sadly then to where the others were standing at.  "Sorry about your friend".  He said honestly before he made his way over to Clara.

"Clara, come on.  We have to go.  We have to get Thomas-"

Clara finally looked away from Newt and gave Aaron a harsh shove in the chest. Since he was squatting down he fell flat on his ass.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" She shouted then covered her mouth with her hand, closing her eyes as she didn't want to yell. She felt bad for doing so in front of Newts body.

"Not yet..." Aaron whispered, standing up.

Aaron held his hand out towards her. Clara removed her hand from her mouth and looked at his hand before grabbing onto it. Aaron pulling her to her feet.

"I'll get Thomas". She told him.

"We all will". Aaron said.

"I will go inside, alone". She corrected. "I have something I need to do".

Aaron looked at her seriously and when she turned away he immediately stepped in front of her. "Clara, you have to get the idea of killing Janson out of your head. Look what's happening around you". He gestured with his hands.

"It's over. Think about your life for just once...please".

Clara didn't say anything and sighed. "Just let me get Thomas". She looked at him, waiting for a response and he merely nodded. Clara wrapped her arms around him, giving him a tight hug for a moment before pulling away, her hands behind her back.

"Radio?" She asked and Aaron handed her one.

"Keep me updated"

~~~

Clara ran down the hall as she heard Thomas and chaos happening.  The sound of glass breaking and Thomas shouting once more made her quicken her pace.  She came to a stop when Janson and Thomas flew through some glass.  Clara instantly changed courses and went down a different path as the two continued to fight.

Janson pulled out his gun and pointed it down at Thomas with a smirk.  "Ok.  That's enough". 

"You're right.  That is enough".  Clara said and through a punch in his face.  He didn't fall but the explosion that came their way certainly did.

"Get out of here.  I'll take care of him".  Clara told Thomas and Teresa as she slowly stood back up.  Janson was taking shots at them which made Clara grab his arm and move the gun upward.

"You little bitch".  Janson hissed.

"Your vocabulary is very low".  Clara twisted his arm a certain way before she decided to snap it, making him let out a cry. 

Clara gave him a shove, pushing him back and when he got his hand on his gun again he aimed it at her.  "Tell Carter I say hi".  His sickening voice filled her ears and when he pulled the trigger nothing happened. 

Clara then pulled out her gun and aimed it at him.  "You should really count your bullets".  She moved the gun and aimed at his leg, pulling the trigger as a bullet flew into his right leg, making him stumble before another bullet in his left leg.

Clara then shot him one more time in the side before she removed the walkie talkie and pressed the button.  "You guys are going to want to get here now.  This place is about to blow".  She said.

"What do you mean?"  Gally's voice came through the line. 

Aaron's head snapped over to her words before he felt around his torso, noticing something was missing.  "Shit".  He muttered.

"Bye Janson.  I hope you burn".  Clara told him as she took out a grenade, setting it down beside her, before taking the pin out.  That's when she started to run again.

"Clara!"  Janson shouted at her.

The building shifted making Clara shuffle in her spot, making her way up the stairs as best as she could.  Flames filled everywhere and when she opened the door to the rooftop she went over to the two, noticing Thomas was injured.

"Shuck."  She whispered as she went on Thomas other side, looking at Teresa but the two didn't say anything.  Clara stood back up, taking the radio out once more.  "We're here!  Where are you?"  She asked.

"I'm sorry.  I tried".  Teresa cried to Thomas.

"I know..."

The craft appeared, blowing wind their way and Clara smiled widely.  "It's about time.  Let's go."  She went back over to them, helping Teresa get Thomas up as the hatch opened.

"Give me your hand!"  Vince reached out along with Minho.

"Get closer!"  Teresa yelled.

"Jump!"

"We got to get Closer!"  Gally yelled to Jorge.

"Up you got Thomas".  Clara said as her and Teresa shoved Thomas over.

"Come on!"  The others reached out for the girls.

"Clara."  Aaron said from next to Gally.

Clara looked over to see part of a building falling their way. She grabbed onto Teresa's arm as when the building made contact with the roof, it sent them to the ground.

When the girls stood back up, Teresa looked over to Clara with tears in her eyes.  "I'm sorry for everything that I did".  She told her honestly and before Clara could get a reply out, Teresa used all her force and shoved Clara towards the craft, multiple hands gripping onto her.

"Noooooo!"  Thomas screamed as the roof finally collapsed, sending Teresa falling.

Clara watched in shock at Teresa's figure getting smaller and smaller then wiggled a bit as she was hanging out of the craft still.  "Can someone please get me up?"  She asked as she was yanked up by Gally, Minho, and Lucas.

Clara took a second take on Lucas as she was surprised to see him.  "I thought you were dead".  She told him seriously.

"Why would you think that?"  He asked as if it was the dumbest thing in the world.

"Because you showed up and then never came back.  Did you hide?"  She smiled a bit.

"I did not hide".  He grumbled.

"Yeah.  Ok".  Clara snorted.

"You're bleeding".  Aaron came down beside Clara, looking at her torso where Newt got her.

"It's fine.  Only a scratch".  She reassured him.

"That is not a scratch.  You're getting checked once we get back and we are going to have a talk about taking grenades".  He scolded her like an older brother would do.

"Oh, come on.  I had to do it".  Clara only kept smiling.

"Why?"  Aaron asked.

"For Carter...you know how he always wanted to use one".

~~~

After Clara got looked at.  She only walked away with seven stitches, telling Aaron that it was nothing.  Of course to her, it was nothing.  As she walked out to make her way to where Gally was she stopped when Minho was only a few inches from her.

"I was going to check on you but I see you're fine".  Minho said and Clara gave him a faint smile before he wrapped his arms around her, giving her a tight hug as tears fell from his eyes.  Clara didn't hesitate to hug him back just as tightly.

"It's just the two of us now".  He told her and Clara nodded into his shoulder.

"Yeah..."

"We have come a long way together.  So many have sacrificed. So much to make this place possible.  Your friends..."  Vince stood among everyone, making a speech.

"Your family".

Clara felt Gally grip her shoulder from behind, Clara instantly placing her hand on his as Aaron sat next to her, holding Carter's bandanna.

"So here's for the ones that couldn't be here.  Here's to the friends we've lost.  This place is for you.  It's for all of us.  But this.  This is for them.  So in your own time, in your own way, come make your peace and welcome to the Safe Haven!" 

Everyone cheered as they raised their cups.

~~~

"You done yet?  You done yet?  You d-"

"I thought I was supposed to be the annoying one".  Clara told Aaron as she was carving into the stone.

"Oh, come on.  We all know that Carter is the annoying one.  You're the scary one, and I'm the hot one".  Aaron said and Clara only shook her head. 

"I think I'm the hot one".  Gally corrected Aaron.

"Whatever you say".  She stopped carving, wiping her hand over the name she carved in.  She took a few steps back so she was standing between Aaron and Gally.

Carter

"He would be here".  Aaron looked from the name to Clara beside him.  Clara smiled slightly as she wrapped an arm each around the two boys, pulling them closer to her as she looked from each of the familiar names, that she held close to her from the glade.

She nodded before correcting Ron;

"They all are still here".
