THE ERROR (Newt Fanfiction)

The Kiss: Chapter 20

I wonder why the views are going down as the chapters go on....Am I updating too fast? Seriously tell me if I am please.

Kayla sighs and shuffles uncomfortably as the wood digs into her back.

The Lookout isn't the most comfortable place, but she likes it.

Kayla has stayed up here for around 2 minutes, then footsteps echo as someone climbs the ladder.

She sighs again and blinks slowly.

"Minho, I really don't-"

Kayla freezes.

Newt.

He pushes open the trapdoor and climbs out, standing 5 feet away from her, his black eye very noticeable.

"Hey."

Kayla slowly gets to her feet, leaning against the railing.

"I don't want to talk to you..."

Hurt shines in Newt's eyes, then it disappears.

"I was trying to protect you."

"You were picking a fight with Thomas."

Newt's eyebrows scrunch together in a grimace.

"You two do spend a lot of bloody time together."

"Newt, we have never kissed. Once."

Newt rolls his eyes.

"Yeah."

Kayla let's out an annoyed breath of air.

"Listen, why are you so protective???"

Newt looks her in the eye.

"What do you mean."

"Of everything, Newt. You're always telling me to be careful or I mean acting as if I'm yours or something and I just...-"

She's cut off as Thomas appears in the trapdoor beside Newt's foot.

His face darkens to fright as he sees the two.

"Oh...Um...Kayla. Minho wants you.."

Kayla shakes her head.

"No. Thomas, get up here."

The boy slowly climbs up and stands beside Newt, the tension obvious.

Kayla folds her arms.

"Okay. Listen. I'm not in a relationship with anyone here."

Both of the boys lower their gazes.

"And quite frankly, both of you are protective of me."

Kayla looks to Newt.

"Can you please explain?"

Newt runs his fingers through his hair and then nods.

"I just um... feel protective.."

"Well..stop."

"What?"

"I don't need caring, Newt just stop it."

"Stop what?"

"Stop caring for me."

"You're asking me to stop caring for you?"

Their voices raise and Thomas shuffles his feet awkwardly.

"Yes! Is that so hard!"

"Yes! It is!"

"AND WHY IS THAT!"

Newt's answer rings across the Glade and it seems almost accidental.

"BECAUSE I'M BLOODY IN LOVE WITH YOU!"

Silence falls.

Newt's face flushes red, and Kayla can feel hers doing the same.

Thomas turns and quickly climbs down, his footsteps sounding as he runs away from the Lookout.

Newt looks her straight in the eye and steps forward.

He grabs her hand and pulls her closer.

Suddenly, his lips crash into hers.

Chills rush through Kayla's body, starting from her heart.

Newt's hands are on the back of her head, and hers are on his shoulders.

They kiss for what seems like eternity, Kayla's heart feeling like it is going to burst, her chest pounding.

Then, Newt releases.

He leans his forehead against hers and blinks slowly.

"Kayla...I am in love with you."
