Your POV:
I open my eyes and check the clock. 4:23AM. I look around the room and spot Newt. Looking in the mirror. He slept with me in my room last night. He didn't have a shirt, only pants.
"Four months," he says without turning around. We agreed that the wedding will happen in 4 months.
"Go back to bed Newt," I said and laid back down. I watched the lights turn off. I felt his warm body as he hugged me. His wrist, I grabbed it.
"I wouldn't have done it if he wasn't here," he whispers.
"I know you don't harm yourself," I say.
"I know you do," he sits up. He pulls my shirt a little to reveal a few scars. "Why? He never made you."
"I hated myself for not going faster in the maze and the scorch," I say. "My fault she's dead."
"It's not your fault," he says. "She was one of the first to catch it once it happened. You're immune, I'm not, I could've died too."
"But you didn't," I said.
"Because you were the one that kept me going. I forced myself to work through the flare because you were still alive."
"What if I died? In Denver, by cranks."
"I would've still forced myself to live, for you," he kissed me and laid back down.
"I love you, Newt," I buried my face in his bare chest and fell asleep.

I sat on the porch stairs. Watching Newt, Thomas, Minho, Brenda and Teresa. The guys had skateboards and the girls watched them. I sat on the porch.
"Look at him! Newt is trying to impress Brenda!" Minho and Thomas said in sync.
"What?! No!" Newt said and without looking where he was going, he crashed into his car. I was the first to get to him.
"That's what you get for trying to impress someone," I laugh.
"I wasn't trying to impress Brenda!" He smiled.
"Dude stop lying to yourself," Minho laughed when he got to us. "Wait a minute!"
"What?" Thomas, Brenda, Teresa, Newt and I say in sync.
"When did (y/n) get engaged?!" He asks. Everyone suddenly turns to me.
"Yesterday!" I smile.
"With who?!" Teresa asks.
"Is he cute?!" Brenda adds
"You can say he's pretty cute," I smile. "Hot when he's shirtless."
I took a quick glance at newt and saw him blushing.
"Whats his name?! I need to know!" Teresa and Brenda say in sync.
"His name is Newt."
