Safe Haven | Newt Death Cure Fanfiction [COMPLETED]

Chapter 3

Newt and I, we were best friends before we became lovers. Well, of course I was attracted to him from the very beginning but at first, it was just about wanting to spend time with him everyday. And we did. But unbeknownst to me and everyone else at that time, Newt was struggling with something, a sorrow so deep, so great that it made him want to end it all.

I remember the exact moment Minho came running into the glade. I was in the medhut when I heard the commotion outside. There were gasps, murmurs, but above all I can hear Minho's cries of help. So I ran outside, unprepared for the sight I was about to see.

Newt was being carried by Minho. There was a lot of blood on his clothes. His arms and legs were full of bruises and wounds. And his right leg, was bent at an unnatural, disturbing angle. One of his arms also didn't look right. But what scared me the most was his eyes. They were cold, lifeless, and glazed. So unlike the soft, smiling ones that I loved looking at. If it weren't for the subtle rise and fall of his chest, I would have thought he was dead. It didn't take me long to help treat him. Jeff, knowing that Newt was close to me offered to do it himself, but I couldn't. I couldn't go about not knowing how he was or doing something about it. It never occured to me that he had jumped. I only assumed that he fell down a section of the maze.

When Minho told me the truth, I broke. I couldn't believe that Newt would do that. And I couldn't believe that I didn't see it coming. I was his best friend. We talked everyday. We saw each other everyday and sometimes even spent the night talking. So I blamed myself for it. For a very long time, I carried that guilt and made it my companion. Even after Newt healed and got better both physically and mentally. Even when we became a couple. Even until now. It grew smaller throughout the years, after all Newt did his best to tell me otherwise. But after that horrid nightmare, it began eating at me again. It consumed my every waking thought and I saw the scene unfold every time I closed my eyes.
