enemies to lovers (y/n and newt) book one.

chapter twenty two: newt

Y/n and Newt made their way over to the place they sat at on her first night in the Glade, "Whew, haven't been here in quite some time.." Newt laughed," Y'know it was really buggin' boring around here without you. It was so grim, everyone else acted like everything was okay but I couldn't help but just worry about you and-" "Newt, I'm fine. But what I really wanna know, is what you bleeding did to Gally? His nose looks like it's hanging on by a bloody thread!" Newt chuckled at the thought, he had forgotten he had punched Gally around the face. He truly did find it hilarious.

"Well, I was told to go back to bed instead of the Med-Hut, where I was staying with you. Gally was just getting on my bloody nerves so after he told me to suck it up I couldn't stand him anymore." he told her,"So I turned around and punched him. Gotta admit, I kinda forgot about the rule that had been put in place." "What rule?" Y/n asked curiously," Well, if you get into an argument with another glader or hurt another glader you get a night in the pit, personally I didn't really care. He bleedin' deserved it." This caused Y/n to burst out laughing, Newt was happy she was starting to become slightly like herself again. That girl he met on the first day in the Glade. "Newt, I wanna know more about when you came up. I'm curious, if you don't wanna tell me you dont have to.."

Newt sighed and looked up to the sky, he thought for a couple of seconds then looked down at the ground, "When I first came up, I didn't feel right. Obviously, like the others I couldn't remember anything. But I felt angry, like there was a huge anger growing inside of me. I have no bloody idea what it was, but it was just always there. I didn't want to talk to anyone." he said whilst turning his head to look at Y/n, he continued, "I felt empty, alone and just downright sad." he laughed then a serious look came across his face, "So uh one day, I woke up earlier one morning than everyone else. I got ready and then just ran into the Maze, I wasn't a Runner so I'm sure the shuckin' creators we're confused. Then I found a tall wall and climbed to the top, thought about what I was about to do."

Y/n felt her heart sinking inside of her chest, she knew exactly what he was talking about. "And then I jumped." Newt sat in silence for a couple of seconds, "Of course I managed to get tangled up in all of the ivy. Snapped my leg in multiple different places, that's why I have this god damn limp. Then you came up later that day, I was barely able to walk but I showed you around anyway." Newt sat there with a sad face, Y/n could tell he was visibly upset, so she shuffled over and hugged him. This was the first time the two had ever hugged.

~*Newts' Pov*~
I sat there, thinking about that horrible time when suddenly Y/n just turned and hugged me. Her? The most beautiful person I could remember seeing was hugging me? The buggin' lost cause who tried to kill himself? But it just felt right, so I wrapped my arms around her and held her closely. I tried my hardest to not let any of those damn tears fall but it just wasn't possible. She obviously could tell I was crying because she just hugged me tighter.

~*Y/n's Pov*~
I hugged him. Why isn't he hugging me back? Should I let go? Then he wrapped his arms around me, the poor boy had went through so much and he just kept it all bottled up. I heard his breathing get heavier then I felt a small drip on my neck, I knew exactly what it was. I just hugged him tighter and ran my fingers through his hair. We sat there for about 5 minutes just in eachothers arms.
