~Empty promises~

Okay, so here's some backstory. Newt and you now sleep in the same hut cuz well, you're together. That is all 😌

Nightmareeee

'What am I doing in the maze?' I wondered. Suddenly (pineapples), the screech of a Griever pierced through the air followed by Newt's pained groan.

"Newt!" I screamed his name I saw him scrabbling at the ground trying to get free of the Griever's tight grip. "Newt I'm coming!" I got up to go and help him but as soon as I stood, something held my ankles in place. I looked down. 'Why the hell is the ivy doing that!?' It made its way up my leg and wound around my middle pulling me down. But I dug my heels into the floor, stood my ground and looked through my pack for my machete. Let's just say, it wasn't there.

"(Y/N)! Help me please!" Newts cry for help echoed on the maze walls.
"I'm trying Newt! I can't get free of the ivy!" I hollered back. Then, a figure loomed over me. It was just a silhouette but, I knew that whatever it was, was dead.

"You promised that you would keep me safe." Newts voice said.

"I tried! I really did try! I'm sorr-"

"NO! You promised me (Y/N). And you broke that promise. You promised me that we would escape. You promised me that you would look after me. And what have you done? You've let me die. All you've given me is false hope and empty promises." His voice was laced with venom as he spoke.

"Newt! Newt! I'm sorry!" I screamed. I was still slightly standing up but I fell to my knees. I looked up to see his figure still there. He bent down really close to my face. I could just make out what had happened. (I'm sorry) his face had claw marks in it, blood constantly dripping from them. His eyes were bloodshot and there was a tare in the flesh in his shoulder. Not to mention the injury on his left ankle. Every part of him was battered and bruised. I felt so so so guilty. "Forgive me please! I tried my hardest!"

"You didn't try hard enough."

Newt's pov:

I woke up to (Y/N) thrashing around next to me. She was obviously having a nightmare.
"Newt... Newt! I'm sorry!" She whisper-shouted. I was about to wake her up when a sharp intake of breath and then she woke herself up, panting. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." She looked around frantically and kept repeating 'I'm sorry' over and over again.

"Love, it's oka-" I got cut off by her saying 'I'm sorry'.
"(Y/-" cut off again.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so-" this time I cut her off by doing the only thing I could think of that would get her to stop hyperventilating and panicking.

I kissed her. I felt her relax and she closed her eyes then returned the kiss.

I pulled away and put my hands on her cheeks to make sure that she looked at me. A tear escaped her eye and I wiped it off with my thumb.

"Now, tell me what the nightmare was about."

She told me, I felt guilty.

"I am so sorry (Y/N)! You know I would never say those things to you right? "

"Someone in one of my previous nightmares said that I was a 'trained assassin'. And that I was really dangerous." She told me. "To be honest with you though, I don't believe them. Total klunk if you ask me,"

"Do you have anywhere that maybe you could practice self defence and see if you can protect and attack really well?" I questioned.

"There is that little lake-thingy behind the deadheads where we went on our third date. Not many people know about it or even go there." She told me. She was fiddling with her thumbs and her breathing still wasn't eavening out.

"Hey," I tilted her chin to look up at me, "you're okay. Now, do you want a hug?"

"Yes please." She came to me and wrapped her arms around me then snuggled deep into the crook of my neck. "Only you, Chuck and Minho get to see me like this got it?" She hated crying. She told me so, (Y/N) thinks it's weak to cry. I think it's strong to be able to let your emotions out but she still disagrees with me.

"Got it." I mumbled into her hair as I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her onto my lap so we could be closer. I kissed her temple and then her cheek, jawline and then lips. I felt her smile against my kiss. My stomach gurgled. Jeez! It had to ruin the moment didn't it! I heard (Y/N) giggle into my neck. "Do... you want to get food?"

"It's not really a question is it? You want me to come and get food with you." Her smile was back. I nodded at her and she started to get up.

"Food can wait a little longer, I'm enjoying my hug." I pulled her back down to me.

We stayed like that for what, another five maybe ten minutes? And then got up to get breakfast. Fry was making waffles this morning. Mmm... waffles...

"Come on blondie! Do you want to get some waffles or no?" She grabbed my wrist and dragged me down to the homestead. Talk about déjà vu. We happily ate our waffles, we were always early 'cause (Y/N) had to be leaving to run the maze by the time everyone else is having their breakfast. I was the only glader apart from Alby who was allowed into the map room. I kinda took pride in that.

"I gotta get my lunch from fry, be back in a sec!" She kissed my temple and then scurried off to get her snacks from fry. I'm so glad she made it so that nobody runs alone.

Your POV:

A couple hours into me and Minho's run we found something. Something that we wouldn't normally find in the maze. It shocked both me and Minho so much. How? What? Huh?
