Start from the beginning
                                    

"Because Ben has been stung Y/n!" Newt said and sounded like a strict teacher telling off his students. "But if he has been stung it wasn't his fault or intention to attack Thomas and me" you defended the runner, even though he never had been nice to you and even tried to kill you, but that shouldn't be a reason to literally kill him. "Y/n, he tried to kill you and Thomas." Newt continued and you noticed that he started to become frustrated, so you decided that it was for the best to stop protesting.

"When does the banishing take place?" Hank asked, "This evening" Newt answered and seemed as unhappy with the decision as anyone else. "Is there no cure?" Thomas now asked after a period of silence, but Hank only shook his head as an answer. Minho grabbed your hand a little bit tighter to provide comfort, but it was useless. You just couldn't cope with the thought that the boy should be sent into the maze in order to be killed by grievers, even though it wasn't his fault and he was practically innocent. You bit the inside of your cheek - why did it feel like it was your fault?

The sun was setting and the doors towards the maze would close in the next few minutes

The sun was setting and the doors towards the maze would close in the next few minutes. Ben laid in front of them, surrounded by Gladers holding spears made out of wood, pointing at him. Newt, Alby and a few other Gladers stood in front of him and had some kind of 'pushers' in their hands, in order to push him into the direction of the maze. Ben looked like a wounded Zebra encircled by Lions. You stood beside Chuck, Thomas and Leo, watching the whole scene from afar. You didn't even want to imagine what the other Gladers were feeling right now, knowing that they're about to kill one of their brothers.

"I know that look" Leo said quietly to you, it was nearly only a whisper. You turned to him "What look?", "The look in your eyes, Y/n. You should know that this isn't your fault." he explained and you felt your eyes burning, he had hit the nail on its head. "Then why does it feel like it is?" you croaked, holding the tears back. "Because your heart is too big for your body" Leo stated and turned his attention back to the scene in front of you. You eyed him for a few moments longer.

Leo looked tensely into the direction of Ben and the other Gladers. You were thankful that he stayed with you, as Minho and Newt both were under the boys who were about to push Ben into the maze. "Thank you Leo" you mumbled, still looking at your friend, "For what?" he asked, without looking at you. "For staying with me" you answered and finally Leo turned back to look at you, "You know that I would always stay with you" he confessed with a warm smile. So his feelings haven't changed - even though this realization was completely out of place.

Your thoughts were interrupted by loud screaming. Your head shot in the direction of the noise, they had begun to push Ben towards the doors. Even from a distance you could see that Ben tried to fight back, but it was useless. The former runner was forced to crawl towards the corridor, which now slowly began to become narrower. You felt tears forming in your eyes and hugged yourself to calm yourself down. You knew it wasn't your fault, but somehow you still felt like you triggered the whole situation. You turned to look at Thomas to see how he was feeling.
