"Oh, hi! It's good to meet you Chuck." she said kindly patting the little boys back. Chuck smiled as he looked down at his hands, playing with two sticks. Y/n found this adorable and let him continue. She saw Gally walking towards them, she was hoping he wasn't coming to yell at her or something. "Listen Gally, I know I should've ran faste-" "No, Y/n. I realised how much of a shuck face I have acted towards you and I just wanted to apologise. You don't have to forgive me, but I hope we can become friends." Y/n smiled slightly, "Thank you Gally, that means alot." He gave her a small smile and turned to go talk to Ben.

"So, what do you want to do darlin'?" Newt said to her as he sat with his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder. "I dunno, just appreciate the fact that I can actually talk to you now," the girl said whilst laughing slightly, "It's better than only being able to hear you." she said with a smile. Oh how Newt loved that perfect smile, they talked together for the rest of the night.

Over the next few days, it kind of became official than Y/n and Newt were dating. They loved eachother. Y/n could now walk alone, but Newt was always there just in case. Y/n had been having these horrible nightmares about her time in the Maze, she had them everynight. Which meant she didn't get very much sleep. Neither did Newt, anytime he heard her waking up to any of them, he'd stay up the rest of the night making sure she was okay. Y/n slept in the Med-Hut for now, she had permission to considering the hammocks would probably make her injuries worse.

It was approximately 02:00am, when Y/n started having a nightmare. She couldn't stop them, the same dream every night. Running from that same Griever, getting stabbed in the same places. But tonight it was different, she heard a boy shouting. She recognised the voice but she just couldn't picture who it was. She was shaken awake by Newt, "Y/n, are you okay Love? Did you have another one?" she was breathing rapidly and couldn't talk. She didn't even realise that she had tears streaming down her face. Newt cupped her face in his hands, "You're okay, look I'm right here. Shh it's okay.." he said calmly he pulled her into his arms and she slowly slowed her breathing and fell asleep again.

Newt didn't sleep another wink that night, he stayed up stroking the innocent girls' hair. He knew she didn't deserve this, he still felt like it was his fault because he allowed her into the maze. Y/n assured him, that if it's anyones' fault its those idiotic creators. As Y/n's breathing slowed he saw a shadow in the frame of the door, "Is she okay?" a tired Minho whispered. Newt gave him a small nod, but had a worried expression on his face. He was worried about her, he held her is a soft embrace for the rest of the night. Kissing her head every so often. He hummed quietly, as the sun rose across the Glade. He slipped out of the bed and walked out into the Glade. A new greenie was supposed to come up today, so they had to be ready.
