THE ERROR (Newt Fanfiction)

Sick: Chapter 17

Thanks so much for 300 views! I can't believe it! I bet 1/4 of them are me though XP

The next few weeks are interesting.

Thomas is now a Runner, and for the first time ever, Kayla is promoted to being able to mentor him.

They run Section 4 most days, though some days they wander off to 5 or 6, but don't tell Minho.

Thomas has grown very close to Kayla, as has she to him.

The two spend most of their time together, wake up, have breakfast with Chuck, Minho, Newt, and them, go into the Maze and run together, stop for lunch, come back, map their section, have dinner with everyone, and go to sleep.

Kayla tries to spend her free days with Newt, she runs 5 days a week.

They usually sit in the Deadheads for a few hours, talking, have lunch, sometimes garden, just relax.

------------------------

Kayla picks at her eggs and bacon, slouching down alone at a picnic table.

She has on another one of Newt's hooded, tan, shirts, with a brown tank top underneath and blue jeans, with brown combat boots.

Her hair is down and swept to the left, the straight strands making it down to the end of her rib cage.

It's her last free day of the week at around 10 am, and everyone has already finished their breakfast, she hasn't touched hers.

Footsteps sound on the grass behind her and Thomas appears on her right side, sitting down on the bench beside her.

"Hey, you okay? You didn't eat dinner last night and apparently haven't eaten any breakfast."

Kayla swallows in her dry throat and nods.

"Yeah...I'm fine, just not very hungry."

Thomas turns back to face forward.

"Oh...Well you should eat something today, we have to get back to running tomorrow."

"Yeah, I know...I will thanks."

"No problem. Wanna go help Newt garden?"

Kayla looks up from her plate, then gets up.

"Sure."

She picks up her breakfast and walks over to the Food Shack, scraping it into the trash with her fork, and setting the plate down on the counter.

Kayla turns back to where Thomas is waiting with his hands in his pant pockets.

"Come on."

They walk across the Glade to the fields, where Newt is currently tying a grape vine to a post.

He's wearing a caramel undershirt with brown cargo pants.

He turns to look at them as they approach.

Kayla smiles lightly and waves.

"Hey.."

Newt finishes tying the vine and leans on the post as Thomas grabs another next to him and starts tying it as well.

"You okay?"

She sighs in frustration and walks over to Thomas, helping him tie the vine.

"Fine...I'm just not feeling very well..."

Worry flashes across Newt's face.

"Do you need to see the Med-jacks?"

"Ugh, I swear I'm fine!"

Kayla harshly ties the last vine and rubs her hands over her face, sitting down with her back on the post.

Thomas kneels down and looks at her.

"You're really okay?"

Her hands fall to her sides and she leans her head back on the post, looking at him.

"I don't know."

Thomas gets to his feet and pulls her up too.

"Alright, come on. Time to see the Med-jacks."

Newt looks at the two then pulls Kayla into a tight hug.

"Okay, whatever this is, you can make it through it. Remember? You're a warrior."

She smiles and lets go, Thomas taking her wrist as the two walk over to the Homestead.
