Spinning me around to face him, our lips touch and move in sync. Kissing Newt made all your worries go away like you were free from pain, but then reality comes and you realize you live in the Glade. Where all your troubles never go away.
Rose is se...

I slept as best I could under the circumstances, I kept thinking what other lies Delilah might tell about me. But speculation won't help I have to get evidence on Delilah. It turns out Charlie has three voice recorders, they have tapes of his mother's soothing voice, and he would let me use one to record Delilah for proof. I woke up that morning and knew what I had to do I had to find Delilah.
I went to breakfast, I sat alone cause none of the Gladers wanted anything to do with me, and Newt was already at work. I quickly finished my food and sped off towards the Deadheads, where I saw Delilah walk to. I approach the tall trees slowly and see Delilah leaning against a tree. I click the recorder on and sit in front of her.
"Delilah, I won't hurt you." I say calmly even though my heart is pounding. "I just want to talk."
-Newt's POV-
I was pulling weeds in the garden next to Zart, when I hear Charlie's voice yelling my name, I look up to see the young boy running to me.
"Charlie, what is it?" I ask confused.
"It's...... Rose." He says, I can feel my heart drop. "She went to Delilah."
"Where did they go?" I ask my heart was ponding hard what if Rose hurts Delilah and we have to banish her, or even worse Delilah hurts Rose.
"I don't know, I just need to tell you this." He say taking a deep breath from running. "You have to believe Rose..... no matter what, think about Rose, listen to her........ she didn't do anything wrong I know it, you have to believe her." He said and with nothing more he walked off. I look to Zart and he just shakes his head. I want to believe Rose so bad I just have to make sure. I hope they're alright alone.
-Rose's POV-
"I just want to talk."
"Go away, I don't want to talk to you." She says practically spitting in my face.
"I have to know. Why do you hate me so much?" I ask trying to get her to confess.
"I actually don't hate you, I just remember your not supposed to be here and that you did awful things." She says.
"What awful thing?" I ask so confused. "I don't understand."
"Go away!" She yells. "I don't want to remember."
"I'm not leaving until you tell me what you don't want to remember." I say crossing my arms.
"Leave me alone!" She yelled with pure spite. Instead of me grabbing her arm, she grabbed mine. "Stop it! You're nothing! We were best friends, then you just had to be the center of attention with every guy! I helped you get all your dream guys but guess what.... you didn't help me! I would sit there, wanting for you to bring me into the conversations and hopefully get at least one guy. I wanted help in my love life, okay! Even the guy I liked thought you were the pretty one and ignored me! Once you're gone, every Glader will have their eyes on me. Then..... once you're dead, you'll be looking at me wishing you helped me!" She said yelling at me, she tightened her grip on my arm. "Now, give me that recorder."
My heart dropped, before she reached into my pocket, I ripped my arm out of her grasp and ran. She was catching up, so I picked a rock off the ground and put it in my pocket, clicked the recorder off, and hid it in my shoe. She had caught up to me, tackling me to the ground and reached in my pocket and grabbed the rock just like I wanted. I pushed her off me and emerged from the trees, I ran as fast as I could to the gardens where I hoped Newt would be. I spotted him and called out to him, he looked up from his work and jogged towards me.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I..... Got... It!" I said catching my breath.
"What? What you'd get?" He asked
"Evidence! About Delilah, I recorded her." I said kneeing down and grabbing the recorder out of my shoe. I played the recording for him and he listen intently. Once it finished he looked at me, he hugged me tightly.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you." He said in my ear still hugging me. I felt my heart beat faster he was so close to me, I liked it. He pulled away. "We need to show Alby and Minho this, or else you'll be banished."
"Banished? What do you mean?" I asked.
"While you were asleep last night, Alby agreed to banish you for attacking Delilah." He said shaking his head. "You're going to be banished in a few hours if we don't show him this." He took the recorder and walked toward the Homestead. I heard a scream from the Deadheads, and saw Delilah stumble out with cuts and bruises covering her. She stumbled to Newt and tried to grab him but he pushed her away.
"Newt!" She said. "She attacked me."
He knelt beside her. "Don't lie to me I know the truth." He spit out at her. He got back up and grabbed my arm, leading me to the Homestead. We looked for Alby but he wasn't there. Where was he?
"Rose!" Someone yelled my name I turned to see Gally, running towards us. "You attacked Delilah you're going to pay for that." I shook my head in shock, I did no such thing.
"Rose run!" Newt yelled at me. "I see Alby, he's at the doors!" So I ran in that direction as fast as I could, with Newt right beside me. I could see Gally chasing after me with a knife in his hand, he was gaining. I didn't know if I would make it.
