No Where To Go {Maze Runner, Newt Fanfic}

Chapter 23: Heartbroken

I felt my heart drop to my stomach as I knelt down beside him, the blood pouring out of his wound. I shook his body violently while scream his name. Tears were streaming down my face and my body shook with my sobs.

"Charlie! No!" I screamed over and over. I couldn't believe he's dead. I should've spent more time with him, I shouldn't have been so selfish. I should've been there for him, like he was for me. No! Why Charlie?!

It should've been me who got stabbed, I turned to see Dean standing there with a look on his face. I didn't care if he was ever sorry I was going to make him pay.

"YOU IMBECILE!" I screamed at him. "Look at what you did!" I felt a hand on my back, a comforting hand. I buried my face in Newt's chest sobbing my heart out, as he rocked me back and forth trying to calm me. I felt his chest lift with slight sobs.

Why Charlie? That's all I could think about.

I cried there in Newt's arms for at least two hours. I eventually lifted my head from his chest and stood without a word never wanting to talk again. I walked to my hammock and through myself on it crying again. I felt like passing out, but instead I drifted off to sleep, only to be awaken by a nightmare.

I hadn't woke up screaming just with a jolt, but I didn't want to go back to sleep. I pushed my self out of the hammock and walked to the watch tower. It was very early in the morning I could tell by the snores of the Gladers and that the sky was just visible with not even a hint of light. I climbed the tower and sat there with my legs dangling off.

My eyes were still puffy from all the crying and my stomach still was twisted in a knot. But it relaxed me somehow to be sitting there in peace, and the sky starting to show the signs of day.

Each hour ticked by and the sky turned a different color, until the colors of morning when the Gladers would wake up came. I still sat there as the Gladers one by one woke up for their normal day. Except it wasn't normal, one of us had died.

I received a lot of glances in my direction, but everyone decided to leave me alone, and I'm grateful. When Minho came up and sat next to me I didn't complain.

"Hey Rossy." He said with a smile.

"Hi Minho." I said rolling my eyes at the nickname.

"How are you?" He asked in a kind voice.

"Better." I replied. "Still feel like it should've been me."

"Don't get me wrong Charlie should've never died, and Alby will make sure Dean is punished; but if you would've died it would've been much worse." He said.

"And why is that?" I asked curiously.

"Firstly we would have lost the sanity of Newt, one of the best Gladers here, and he would have probably killed himself if you were gone. Second the whole Glade would have lost the happiness and light you bring as the only girl in the Glade. When you were out for only a couple of days this place turned up side down, we need you more then you know. Plus, It would be depressing to live without someone to tease too." He added with a smirk.

"Thank you Minho." I said giving him a hug. "It means a lot."

"Anytime shank." He said looking at his watch. "Look at the time I better go, see ya latter Rossy." He climbed down the tower and ran straight into the maze. I sighed, I felt better but there was still a hole that Charlie left and it would never be filled.

I jumped when a hand touched my back. I turned to see Newt, his hair messed up from sleep that only made him cuter.

"Good morning love." He said sitting next to me.

"Good morning." I said leaning my head on his shoulder. I looked out just as the sun came above the walls. "It's beautiful."

"Very, but I've seen prettier." He said to me and I blushed. I was glad I had Newt to be with me when times get hard, he was my foundation. "Are you going to be ok?"

"I think so, I just need time." I said, having him here made me heal faster. "I'm glad I have you."

"Well you always will, whenever you need me I'll be here." He said kissing my forehead.
