So Bertha was a car. A very awesome one and Jorge was driving them to the right arm, the gladers were excited especially Newt who had a bright beautiful smile on his lips and Asterin sat on the front, it was the first time in weeks she seen the gladers truly smiling and happy.

One thing Jorge has noticed was the few glances she would give from the mirror to look at the gladers if they were doing alright, in which they are, especially Minho who soon fell asleep and everyone following close behind leaving only Jorge and Asterin in complete silence staring at the empty road and deserted land around them.

A smile grew on her lips once she noticed Minho's peaceful face from the mirror, Newt and Thomas held hands and were sleeping together, Teresa's head on the window as she was slepping uncomfortably, and Fry and Brenda sleeping with her head on her brother's shoulder. Thank god she handed Minho her jacket as a pillow or else he's neck will hurt as soon as he wakes up, the jacket smells like her, Lavender and roses making him sleep.

"Hey kid." Called Jorge the girl who was staring out the window cutting off the silence, her hair flying freely as she could feel the fresh air slapping her face, she wanted to scream in joy but couldn't cause the others are resting after a very stressful week, she turned around smiling softly at Jorge, "yeah?" She replied her voice low, "you should tell him." Asterin was confused and he could tell by her eyes that narrowed.

"That kid, you should tell him how you feel for him." He said peering over to the sleeping boy, Asterin cheek flushed red as soon as she noticed that he knew her feelings towards the boys, "I don't know-" she exclaimed not knowing what to say for the first time, "what do you mean you don't know, listen I know that we've only met for about 2 days and you won't listen from an old man like me but trusg me, he likes you a lot and you don't know how much he spoke about you while you were away, that blondie scolded him to confess his feelings and the way he would blush like a drunk whenever he talks about how pretty and caring you are, it's getting annoying." He replied making the girl blush even harder and chuckle as she tried to hide her flushed cheek.

"And I know that you like him back, so just tell him how you feel and get it over with before it's too late." He said ruffling her hair with a small grin on his face, the girl huffed in annoyance and brushed his hand away fixing her hair with a small pout, in which soon was replaced by a bright grin that Minho can't stop describing, the one where her nose slightly scrunch like a tiny bunny.

Now she knows what Brenda is talking about, how Jorge is like her father.

"Thank you." He said after a while making her look back to him once again with her arms wrapped around her knees, eyes soft and sparkling beautifully, "about what?" She asked the man who kept his eyes on the road, "for saving Brenda from that crank, she told me that you saved her from a crank." Asterin looked away and out the window her hand stretched as she stared out the road, "yeah well, I can't let her die knowing that you will blame yourself if she dies and will kill me." She said making him laugh slightly.

"Why? Did you lose someone you loved?" He asked watching as she looked to her friends with a small smile, "I lost plenty of people i loved especially my family, Chuck and Alby would've loved that we're going to the safe heaven, and I can't lose them too.." she said glancing at the gladers.

"I'm sure they're proud of you."

•°•

The car soon stopped and both Asterin and Jorge got out staring at the cars that blocked their way, she slowly knocked on the window startling Teresa who was asleep, Asterin smiled fakily at her, "guys wake up!" She exclaimed opening the door and grabbing their bags, the gladers groaned in frustration but eventually got up.

Newt and Asterin walked together side by side and she slowly backed away with a sly grin, she ran jumping on his back and wrapped her arms around his waist with a laugh leaving her lips, Newt was much taller than her and had to pull her to the side wrapping his arm around her neck holding her captive and ruffling her hair with a chuckle. "Ow! Okay sorry!" She exclaimed laughing along with him.

Newt arm was wrapped around her shoulders and her on his waist as the two smiled brightly at each other, they were best friends. "So how's you and Thomas?" She asked glancing up at the boy who immediately shushed her blushed a deep red, Asterin smiling teasingly at him and wiggled her eyebrows making him blush even harder.

"When are you telling him that you love him?" She asked the blonde who rolled his eyes at the question everyone asked him, "when are you telling Minho?" He snapped back watching as she immediately turned around with wide eyes to see Minho already staring at them with a raised eyebrow, "tell me what?" He asked making his way towards the girl who slowly backed away towards Jorge with a fake smile.

She glared at Newt who only smirked back at her, "I'mma get you back, bitch." She muttered eyeing him, Minho was confused as to why she was glaring at the second in command and what she was hiding from him, "Asterin!" He called following the girl who walked faster but a sudden gunshot echoed making him everyone hide, the bullet flew inches away from her ear and if it wasn't for her to jump off and hide behind a car she could've been shot.

She panted heavily covering her ears that were ringing, she couldn't even hear people yelling and checking on each other especially her who was about to get shot, the gladers yelled her name and the ringing got louder, taking it as an opportunity she peeked over to see if anyone was close to her and luckily Jorge and Thomas were in front of her but had a car separating them, grabbing her bag she breathed in and out before running towards them.

Jumping and dodging every bullet that was shot towards her, sliding off the car she sat between Thomas and Jorge panting heavily, the two were relieved to see her alive cause she didn't answer them earlier, Jorge suddenly took out a bomb and handed it to her, holding the lighter in his hand, "everybody get ready to sprint back to the truck and hold your ears!" Ordered Jorge and nodded at the girl who was ready.

"1."

"2."

Just as he was about to say 3, a gun was suddenly cocked in Asterin's head and she heard a female's voice, "drop it. NOW!" the girl yelled startling the boys while Asterin clenched her jaw and dropped the bomb to the ground without blinking, she had her hand in the air in surrender and looked behind to see a brown skinned girl about her age with narrowed eyes and another with blonde.
"On your knees, especially you. Right now!" She ordered pointing her gun at Asterin who did as told with a glare, "NOW!" yelled the girl in furry watching as Asterin raised her eyebrow not a single blink of fear in her eyes as she backed away backwards, "easy there darling..." she said with a sly grin and slowly stepped backward with Thomas and Jorge behind her.

"You two also move, don't be stupid!" She exclaimed gesturing to Newt and Minho to get on their feet, Asterin was thinking of a way to charge without getting them shot, "I should say the same thing darling." Replied the black haired girl calmly looking straight into the girl's eyes.

The girl on the other hand looked away and her eyes stopped on one of the gladers, "Aris?" Following her gaze she narrowed her eyes at the boy who's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the familiar voice of one of his closest friends, "oh my god Harriet?!" As he was about to walk over to the girl, Asterin placed her hand out stopping him from moving any further, "you know them?" She asked suspicious, she didn't trust them.

Aris nodded with a smile and Asterin let him go watching as Harriet pulled him into a warm tight hug a bright smile on her lips as she checked him for any injuries, then the blonde took off the bandana wrapped around her face and also pulled the boy towards him, "Aris you're lucky we didn't shoot your dumbass!" She exclaimed with pure joy.

The gladers stared at the trio hugging each other in confusion, "well that's interesting." Said Asterin raising her eyebrow, Aris turned towards them with a smile "we were in the maze together!" The girl named Harriet whistled yelling, "WE'RE CLEAR GUYS COME ON OUT!" Asterin arm were on her pocket as she looked around the place, people holding weapons on mountains stared down at the group.

Asterin followed Harriet close behind listening to their conversation, "so how did you gusy get in here?" Asked Aris the girl softly, "the right arm got us out." Of course Thomas had to ask a question, his curiosity was sometimes very annoying and his questions can be dumb. "The right arm? Do you know who they are?" He asked the girl who only gave him a small smile and opened the door of the car gesturing them to hop in.

•°•

"Holy mother fucking shit." Exclaimed Asterin with wide eyes that were sparkling with happiness, the right arm wasn't big but there were plenty of people their age and it felt like heaven, she turned around with a smile and immediately wrapped her arms around her brother who also had the same reaction as her.

As they walked in, greeted and welcomed by the crowd, Brenda started breathing heavily beside Asterin and she couldn't help but look at the girl in worry, Brenda suddenly fell to the ground and started gasping for air, Jorge immediately was on his knees beside the girl and then Asterin, Jorge lifted her leg watching in horror the bite she has in her leg, Vince without second thoughts pointed his gun at her "she's infected!" He yelled looking over at the girl but stopped with wide eyes.

Asterin was shielding Brenda with a gun aimed straight into his head and eyes that burned holes straight into his face, "I'm a good shot when I'm angry, now lower that gun, easy.." She muttered in anger, she could feel Thomas sit beside Brenda checking if she was still awake, "get out of the way. She's an infected!" Vince yelled at the girl who shook her head no back at him without even blinking at his sudden burst.

"You want to kill her then you have to kill us three." She smiled innocently back at him, his wife, Mary suddenly appeared behind and stopped the chaos with one order, she was familiar, "Thomas, Asterin, long time no see." She smiled brightly at the two who looked at each other in confusion still shielding the poor girl.
"You know us?" Asked Asterin still aiming her gun, not lowering her guard if someone decides to hurts them, Mary nodded with guilt in her eyes, "Interesting, makes scene as to why they put you in the maze.." she muttered to the duo who still stared in confusion, slowly making her way towards Brenda she watched as Asterin pointed her gun at the woman.

"Stay away from her." She ordered clearly not wanting to lose her only girl friend, "I will not hurt her, I promise." Replied Mary softly, "if you don't want to hurt her then put that gun down." Said Asterin eyeing the gun on the woman’s shoulder, Mary smiled at the girl. "Still like the last time, you didn't change, I remember you being a harsh and powerful girl who was a huge troublemaker and I can still remember that day when you got sent to the maze. The day both you and Thomas handed me every information of W.C.K.D lab and everything. You still is that girl." her voice was soft like a mother taking care of her child.

"They are our source." Said Vince staring at the duo who were interested by their heroic stories. "Take her to the tent, you two come on, I need to get some blood from you." Said Mary, Jorge was with Brenda, Thomas and Asterin both followed the woman to the tent.

•°•

Mary knew Asterin's mother and she told her the whole story about them, her childhood, everything and now Brenda was resting on the bed and only Thimss was left with her, Asterin took a warm shower to get rid of her nerves and the roller coaster of emotions she had all this week.

Walking inside the kitchen looking for something to eat, Asterin was startled by the sudden boy sitting in the chair holding a cup of coffee that wasn't even touched but was getting cold in his hand while he stared at the counter deep in thoughts. "Minho! I have been looking for you everywhere!" She greeted with lit bright eyes that shone beautifully snapping him out of thoughts, Minho placed the cup on the table and watched as she made her way towards the counter with a smile.

"Are you alright my darling?" She asked peering over to her shoulder holding a bottle of water in her hand and leaning against the counter waiting for him to reply to her question, "yes I am very fine, my girl." She blushed before shaking her head with a laugh leaving her lips, "with a cup of coffee, i don't think so." She said walking around the room in search of something to eat.

"You know, ever since Chuck died, i felt miserable and could feel myself getting numb every time and when Winston died everything got worse and trust me without you, I would've gave up and already left this world. That was what I wanted to tell you earlier.." She said her eyes never meeting his. The silence was loud and only the buzzing of the light could be heard.

"Oh god I am so sorry, I shouldn't have said that, what the fuck is wrong with me, just forget what I said and I really apologize–" she was cut off with Minho cupping her cheek and them she felt it. The softness of his lips pressing against hers shutting her up, her eyes were wide as she could feel his body pressed against hers very close.

Her eyes fluttered shut as she immediately chased his lips as he was about to pull away, her hand on the back of his neck playing with his hair as she pulled him close to her, his knees between her thighs as his hand slid from her cheek and one on her hip pulling her as dangerously close to him earning a yelp from her, the hand by her side.

He kisses her softly just long enough that he could inhale her breath, feel the warmth of her skin, and the taste of her lips chasing after his whenever he tries to pull away to breathe was so amazing that he felt like he was in heaven and not in a kitchen with her pressed against the counter and him on top of her towering over her form.
Her mouth opened as she gave him the access to go in without a thought, the kiss got rough and deeper and Minho's hand slid from her hip down to her thigh as he picked her up, her legs wrapped around his waist and his hand was under her holding her and pressing her body against the wall with her on top.

Her lips were soft, almost silken, and pillowy against his own ones that were absolutely perfect. He could feel the soft tickle of her breath, fingers carding through her hair and his as they breathed each other in.

She was breathing heavily and god those sounds she makes were angelic, bodies heatedly against the wall, breathing heavily as their lips pressed together. feeling the thud of their combined heartbeat as they held each other for dear's life. The way a low groan would leave his lips whenever her fingers made their way towards his neck pulling him dangerously closer if it's possible.

"Minho.." she whispered breathless and in pure bliss and pleasure especially when his cold fingers were smoothly rubbing the back of waist and down, his lips were sweet from the coffee he took earlier and he couldn't help but look up at her face full of pleasure as he smirked.

They both pulled away to catch their breaths, Asterin arms wrapped around Minho’s neck as she blushed a deep red, cheeks hot and pink as she collided her forehead with his, Minho wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to his embrace as they both hugged each other after a very heated make out session both were waiting for.

Both the teenagers not believing what just happened and not wanting to forget that moment any time soon, Minho kissed her, HE KISSED HER. Asterin had a bright grin on her lips and tried not to look at him or else he'll notice how blushy and childish she currently is, Minho on the other hand trying to look at the girl, laughing when she hides her face in his chest or shoulder but he knew she was red.

Her ears.

“I know you’re blushing, beautiful.” He said chuckling before making her face him, those eyes god. Without thinking about it he kissed her lips once again, this kiss wasn’t lustful nor deep, but sweet and full of love.

She kissed back.
