A small hole in his shirt revealed a gooey red blob right in the meaty part above his armpit, blood pouring from the wound. It hurt. It hurt bad. If he__ thought his headache downstairs had been tough, this was like three or four of those, all smashed into a coil of pain right there in his shoulder. And spreading through the rest of his body.Newt was at his side, looking down with worried eyes.__e shot me._ It just came out, a new number one on the list of the dumbest things he__ ever said. The pain, like living metal staples running through his insides, pricking and scratching with their little sharp points. He felt his mind going dark for the second time that day.

He finally pulled it all back into his heart, sucking in the painful tide of his misery. In the Glade, Chuck had become a symbol for him__ beacon that somehow they could make everything right again in the world. Sleep in beds. Get kissed goodnight. Have bacon and eggs for breakfast, go to a real school. Be happy.But now Chuck was gone. And his limp body, to which Thomas still clung, seemed a cold talisman__hat not only would those dreams of a hopeful future never come to pass, but that life had never been that way in the first place. That even in escape, dreary days lay ahead. A life of sorrow.His returning memories were sketchy at best. But not much good floated in the muck.Thomas reeled in the pain, locked it somewhere deep inside him. He did it for Teresa. For Newt and Minho. Whatever darkness awaited them, they__ be together, and that was all that mattered right then.

I remember remembering,_ she muttered, sitting down with a heavy sigh; she pulled her legs up to wrap her arms around her knees. __eelings. Emotions. Like I have all these shelves in my head, labeled for memories and faces, but they__e empty. As if everything before this is just on the other side of a white curtain. Including you.

Newt shook his head, his face a mixture of anger and awe. __hat you did was half brave and half bloody stupid. Seems like you__e pretty good at that.
