Y/N's journey through the maze

Part 14

Later on at the bonfire, Teresa is getting to know everyone and is having fun. I've been quiet tonight, hoping no one would notice but of course they did. "Are you okay Shortie?" Minho asks. I nod and say "Yes, I'm fine but it's been a long day so I think I am going to go to bed. Newt can I talk to you before I go." Newt looks up at me and says "Of course." I get up and hug everyone goodnight. "Night Y/N. I love you." Teresa said. I just hug her and walk away with Newt. We have been walking in silence and then we get outside my tent. "I just realised I'm going to have to share my tent now because I am not the only girl." I say laughing, remembering the time Newt told me I was lucky for having my own tent on my first night in the glade. He smiles. "Actually I don't want to go to bed yet Blondie, can we go into the woods for a walk." "Of course Shortie." I grab his hand and he holds it, looking at me like he was going to say something to me so I interrupt him. "Don't say anything please, I just want to be here with you." He nods at me and we go off into the woods.

Once we get to the edge of the woods we sit down and finally let go of each others hands. I turn away from him because I am trying to hold back my tears but a tear drops from my eye and then I can't stop. "Y/N what's wrong?" Newt asks me whilst he hugs me. "I don't even know anymore, I'm never sad like this. Ever since Teresa came up, my whole life just changed and I don't know how to deal with it all at the same time." I say in between tears. I manage to slow my tears down. Newt says to me "Hey, hey, hey listen to me Shortie. Not everything changed. I'm still here, I'm still the same person I was yesterday." He holds my face and wipes away my tears. "Newt, I need to tell you something that Teresa told me earlier. She remembers everything about her life and mine. She told me that we used to be together, we were a couple." I tell him. He looks at me and says "Wow that explains a lot but what our lives were like before the maze, the people we were, they don't matter anymore not if we don't want them to." He's still hugging me at this point and then he kisses my head. "Thanks for this Newt and thanks for never giving up on me." I say. We stay like this for the rest of the night and I am so happy that I was in that moment with him.
