everything that could go wrong was going wrong. you were supposed to leave with brenda and thomas, but now you had to look for them at some weird party.

blend in, were the words that you repeated in your mind.

jorge - the man that took you under his wing when you and brenda first met him while looking for supplies in the scorch - was searching for marcus while you and the others were assigned with finding a way in. when you snuck into the building, everyone seemed.. drunk. or high. everyone was on the dance floor, dancing and sipping alcohol with dopey smiles on their faces.

everyone split up and look for thomas and brenda. you and newt went to look for them together, frypan went with minho, aris went with teresa. about 6 rooms in, you and newt walked into another room, a hole in the wall.

"why is there a hole in the wall?" you questioned, newt shrugging.

"no clue," he responded, "this whole place is weird."

you were almost entirely sure that you saw people walk by. the door was closed, but the hole in the wall allowed you to look outside, even if just a tiny bit. and sure enough, you were right.

the door handle turned, and you internally panicked.

blend in.

newt, already standing infront of you, seemed to have a plan with the way he pinned you to a wall, his face close to yours. too close. "just go with it," he whispered.

two ladies walked in, then walked back out, giggling. you both heard them say, "oh, young love."

"sorry," he apologized, a red tint on his cheeks when he noticed how close you two were. he pulled away, looking away from you.

"it's okay."

even though you said it was "okay", he still felt bad.

eventually, you found brenda and thomas, who were slurring their words and stumbling over their own feet. you pulled brenda away, and thomas passed out in newt's arms.

now, you guys were in the car, on the way to the way to the right arm, jorge driving.

silence. that was until newt said "sorry" again. quiet, but audible.

"what for?" asked minho.

"mm? wassup?" thomas managed out.
