Chapter Text
All the characters and names belong to James Dashner.I own nothing but the story line.
Teresa woke up,not knowing where she was or how she had gotten there. All she knew was one thing:her head hurt so much that she wanted to cut it off her neck so she could throw it away.
The room was too light,the curtains were open and the sun was shining on her so persistently that all she wanted to do was to yell at it to get lost. But that seemed stupid to her. What kind of klunkhead would yell at the sun?
Before she could think more,a sudden sound came out of nowhere calling her name."Teresa?You up yet?"
She opened her eyes just to see a dark haired asian boy coming in the room.
"Oh look who's up!our blue eyed girl. Feeling any better?"He said with a grin on his face.
Teresa groaned and threw a pillow at him.
"Get lost Minho. My head hurts and I can't stand your voice when I'm sober,let alone when I'm having a hangover." She was surprised by her own voice.
Minho grinned again and shook his head. "Time to rise and shine you shank!You were bad and crazy enough last night. Today is all about you making the right decisions and being the perfect little girl we all know you are."He rolled his eyes. " And besides,you smell like klunk and alcohol at the same time,so I suggest you do us all a favor and take a shower."
"What happened?Why am I here?"Teresa asked,rubbing her head and getting out of the bed.
"You drank a whole bottle last night. I don't know what became to you. You just started drinking and all of a sudden you were on the dance floor dancing with any guy you could find."Said Minho.
Teresa didn't say anything. She just looked at herself in Minho's mirror,only to see a dark haired girl looking back at her.
"I look like klunk! God,I'm so embarrassed!Who else saw me that way?"She finally managed to say.
"Pretty much everyone. But don't weren't the only one trying to solve her problems with alcohol."Minho said,trying to comfort her.
"Oh shut up. I'm gonna take a bath and then I can deal with whatever the hell I did last night."Teresa answered.
Minho nodded as he watched Teresa disappear in the bathroom.
Teresa started to remember last night's events on her way back home. The sound of music,the hot and heavy atmosphere and the taste of alcohol on her lips. And then all of a sudden,it all came back to her.
"What are you drinking without me?"Thomas said as he put his hand on Teresa's shoulder.
"Whatever I can find. But don't worry,I don't drink anything without the hope that you're gonna be as miserable as me tomorrow morning."She answered him sarcastically.
Thomas laughed."Look,I know this is all hard for you. But you have to move on. How does that sound?"
"I will punch you if you say anything about ANYTHING being hard for me again. How does that sound?"She said with a tired sound.
Thomas threw his hand in the air and backed away."I just want to help you Teresa. You're my best friend."
"If I was your best friend,you wouldn't have let me get into this mess."Teresa Said.
"Now that's not fair. I warned you,Gally warned you. Hell even chuck warned you once!We all did what we thought was best for you and you just didn't listen to any of us. You can't blame us for this,Teresa .And I know how it feels,it feels like shuck. I know because I've been there. And you know what I did?I asked YOU to help me and you did!Remember when you sat with me,to watch star wars, even though you hate it?You were there for me. So just let me be here for you. That's all I'm asking for."Thomas said.
Teresa sighed."I know I've been an idiot. But I don't think about any of it when it's not in front of my eyes. So I'll just have to ignore it until it goes away,okay?Just trust me. I know what I'm doing."
Thomas looked at her like he didn't believe a word she had said. But he gave up at last and faked a smile."Okay.I'll give you one more chance. But that's the last one."
Without any other words,Teresa left to pour herself another drink.
She knew last night was a disaster and she knew she had broken her promise to Thomas. But at that moment,parking her car in front of her house,She realized something. She didn't care at all.
It was almost midnight when she got a text from Newt. She put her phone aside,without opening the text. With a sad smile on her face, she hugged her pillow,ready to sleep.
