"So, how'd you get your limp?" I asked nuzzling into his side and placing a hand on his chest.

Newt sighed and rested his hand on top of mine, his other hand let go of holding my other one to wrap around my body.

"Well," he started. "When I first came up in the box I was a scared greenie like everyone else but eventually I became good mates with Alby and all that. I wasn't in a good place, the maze was like a cage for me. I became a runner and would run off into the maze every morning to map it like runners do. One day I got sick of it. I went into the maze and found the tallest wall and climbed it using the vines. When I thought I was high up enough I let go." He paused as a few stray tears ran down his cheek. "My bloody leg got caught in the vine breaking it at three different angles or places or something, according to the med-jacks. Minho came running up and saved my life just after I tried to end it. After I got patched up by the med-jacks, they told me I'd have this bloody limp for the rest of my life which sucks I guess."

I watched as he turned his head away from me as more tears slipped down his cheeks.

"Newtie," I whispered moving my body so I was leaning over his chest to get a good look at his soon to be tear soaked face. "Look at me."

Newt turned his head to look at me and I wiggled back a bit to look at him.

"Do you have anything else to tell me? Anything you want to share before I say my part?" I asked as sweetly as possible.

Newt nodded and continued. "When you came up in the box I thought it was all gonna change. When I saw you I kinda fell in love with you straight away. I forgot about what I'd done in the maze and only focused on what you were doing in the glade. Eventually I could see how unhappy you were and how your mood had started to change." He shifted his weight to look at me. "You started acting like me, or that's what Alby had said, when you became a runner I fought with Minho to not let you do it. I thought I'd you were a runner you'd try do what I did and-"

"But you stopped me didn't you. The couple of days before the box came up with Chuck, you found me walking towards the maze when we weren't meant to go in and you told me you knew how I felt and I cried into your shoulder. I didn't get it but I do now." I told him with the best smile I could muster. "You saved my life and I guess I saved yours."

Newt smiled a bit and pulled me into his chest.

"Just please don't ever do that again," I said.

Newt hesitated and I felt his arms that were wrapped around me shake a bit.

"For me?" I asked looking up at him.

"For you," he replied moving his head to rest on my pillow.

We laid there for a while and I couldn't help but sniffle from time to time. Newt's story had touched me. It was upsetting to know he had gone through that but I was happy to know he was here now.

"Stop thinking about it," I eventually said.

"Sorry love," he mumbled, fully aware I was monitoring his thoughts.

"Don't be sorry, just don't do it." I told him.

I felt Newt nod his head and soon enough I fell asleep.

Newt POV
I stroked Aurora's hair as she slept. I'd moved a few minutes ago to stare at the ceiling but still kept my angel right next to me.

"Newt?" Thomas called from outside the door.

I told him to shush as he entered my girlfriend's room.

"I heard you two talking," he whispered. "We both did." Lilly followed him into the room with a few tears on her face.

"Oh Newt!" She exclaimed quietly, running over to hug my hand, seeing as half of my body was being used by Aurora.
