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.

I slept alone in the Med-jacks hut, my mind wondering to the horrible things of my dreams. I had fallen asleep only to wake up screaming, thrashing, and sweating like mad. Newt had burst in the door with worry lacing his eyes.
"I'm fine, just a nightmare." I said shaking my head of the horrors, literally. He sat on the edge of the bed grabbing my hand. "Newt?"
"Yes love?" He asked in a soothing voice. Before I could ask him Minho came in the door a little flustered.
"Hey Greenie you good?" He asked. I sat up my eyes a little heavy with sleep.
"Yeah I'm fine." I said with a shy smile.
"Good that." He said smiling back. "Alby has called a Gathering and wants you guys." He left the room and Newt stood up reaching his hand out for me to take. I took his hand and stood up, I know I looked like I just rolled out of bed.
"You sure you're good?" Newt asked with worry still in his eyes.
"I'll be fine, just have to push it out of my mind." I said smiling at him. He lead me out of the room and to the Gathering hut. When we walked in the door all eyes turned to see Newt and I walking in hand in hand.
"Why are we here?" Newt asked Alby. I sat down in a chair and Newt stood next to me placing a hand on my shoulder.
"We're here because of you two." He said. "We have to decide what to do with you shanks. You, Newt, jumped off the wall and gave yourself a nasty limp, you can't be a Runner. And Rose, your heart stopped at least twice as a result of the Griever sting. Clint said if you get stung again you could die. You can't go in the maze anymore, and I highly doubt Newt will ever allow you again. So we need to figure out what to do."
"Newt's your second in command, there is nothing to figure out for him." Winston said a matter of factly. "Just make Rose a Track-hoe or something."
"We can't separate those two, look at them they're practically inseparable." Minho said when I rested my head on Newt's hip. "I mean Newts got that limb because she was freaking nocked out for a couple of days. He can't breath without her." I looked up at Newt and smiled at him, it filled me with warmth to think he cared so much.
"Well, then make her second in command with him, so wherever he goes she does too." Frypan says. "I'm sure little one will make a good leader when your not around Alby." He smiled at me and I returned it. I loved Frypan like he was my big brother.
"Yeah I agree." Minho said.
"All in favor of making them both second in command raise your hand." Alby said, and almost all of them did. "That's settled Newt and Rose are your second in commands." He dismissed everyone, my heart leapt with joy at the thought of spending every day with Newt ordering everyone around.
Newt and I spent the rest of the day doing small tasks together not over working our injured bodies. Before we knew it night had already come and the Gladers bustled around getting ready for bed. I sat on my hammock rocking back and forth not wanting to greet the horrors of the night. Newt came walking up noticing my state of nervousness.
"You look worried." He said sitting next to me in the hammock.
"I just don't want to sleep." I said.
"Scared of the nightmares?" He asked placing a hand on my back. I nodded. "I can stay with you if you want." I looked at him.
"Would you?" I asked, I wanted him to stay badly, but did't want to ask.
"Of course." He said smiling at me. He pulled me down with him and I snuggled deep into his chest as his arms wrapped around my waist. He rested his chin on my head, I felt so relieved in his arms like that's where I was supposed to be. I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face and my heart full of joy.
