     (A week later)

   I was working in the Gardens with Newt since I was a track hoe and it was fun as it always is. It was pretty easy, simple work and I had my best friend to work there with me. I still had feelings for Newt, but I tried to get over them with Thomas. Tommy showed interest in me every time he walked me to the Homestead, and I felt like we would end up being together. It would also make me forget about Newt so he could be with Teresa and I wouldn't mind it at all.

   (Newt's POV)

   I still liked Y/N, but I did feel like she and Tommy would start dating. He's talked repeatedly about asking her out, and I agreed to support them. I didn't like being best friends with her since she was a lovely person and I wanted to see her happy.

   Honestly, I would rather be in her life as a best friend than as someone not in her life at all. She was still the person I loved and cared about the most in the Glade.

   ....

   (Y/N's POV)

   This night, when I was walking with Tommy, something unexpected (or very much expected) happened.

   "Hey, Y/N?"

   "Yeah?"

   "I really like you. I have since the day you got here, and I would love it if you were my girlfriend."

   "I like you, too Tommy. I will be your girlfriend."

   I smiled at him and he leaned down to kiss me. We kissed for a couple of seconds before he broke away and smiled.

   He led me to my hammock and kissed me one last time before returning to his own.

   (Newt's POV)

   After Thomas and Y/N left to walk together, Teresa came up to me.

   "Hey, Newt, wanna walk with me tonight?"

   "Sure, Teresa."

   We walked the distance to the Homestead before she stopped me.

   "Newt, I've been wanting to tell you something for a while. I've liked you for a really long time."

   She suddenly kissed me. I was very surprised by this. She looked at me after she did this. I knew I couldn't accept her feelings since I loved Y/N.

   (Y/N's POV)

   I had seen what Teresa and Newt had done. They kissed. I knew they liked each other, but I was with Thomas now and I could be happy for him. I was happy for him. We could both be happy with others and be best friends still.
