In Another Life || Newt Fanfic

Five

I wake up feeling two strong arms around me.
It's warm and comfortable.
I open my eyes slowly, Newt.
I joilt up suddenly, he's waking up
"sorry" I murmur in a low voice.

I look up, minho, he's smirking and winks at me, my eyes widen and shake my head as if to say 'it's not what it looks like' he nods still smirking and walks away.
Newt sits up and looks at me.
"Morning" I say nervously, I don't want to talk about last night.
"Are you okay?" he says I nod fastly grab some clothes and walk away before he can ask me something else.

Today a newbie is coming up the box.
Four months has passed since me and Gally came up in the box.
He's being great in being a builder, he became the keeper.

And I am doing okay in being a med-jack one or two people come in a day so I'm not that busy all day.
Sometimes I help Newt in the gardens but that's it, I really get along with him, so it's great, right?
Minho and the other runners return everyday with nothing new, but they do a really good work.
In the past months (four ), four new people came.
Today another one, I hope it's a girl.
I really, really hope.

After breakfast, I head to the medical wing and help clint with whatever he needed.
He teached me how to stich someone if that someone was injured.
Then there wasn't anyone who needed to be in here so he discharged me for now.
I head out, to the gardens.
And there he is, Newt.
"Need some help?" I ask he looks up smiles.
"If you want to" he smiles and gives me a rake.

I stop doing what I was doing and look up "by the way I'm sorry about lats night, did I-" I say worried.
"No, don't worry, I was already awake, do you wanna talk about it?" he asks.
" I don't remember what happend-" I stop mid sentence when I hear a noise.

The box.
A newbie is coming.
God, please let it be a girl.
Newt grabs my hand in his.
I can feel my face burn, I ignore the feeling and keep walking towards the box.

We're all gathered around the box.
All I can see is short curly hair. I think it's a boy.
And the newbie is curled in a ball.
And he's small, poor boy, he's so young.

I can hear noises coming from the little boy, I think he's crying.
"Tell them to stop talking" I tell Alby and he shuts them up.
I jump in the box and walk over to him.
"Hey" I say softly, he slowly tilts his head up.
"It's okay, you're safe" I reassure him, I reach out my hand for him, he hesitates, but then takes it.

"Do you remember your name, age, something ?" I ask him he nods "..." "chuck".
"Who are you?" he questions.
"I'm Kara, nice to meet you" I give him a wide smile.
He looks, at least 12.
"Where am I?" he whispers.
"Let us get you out if the box and then the questions okay?" he nods.
Alby helps him up, Newt helps me.
Alby and Chuck begin to walk away, everybody got back to their jobs.

I'm laying on the grass with a book in hand over my head, reading.
Little women, they told me I can request whatever I wanted so I asked for some books.
Minho and the others just got back from the Maze, and everybody has done their jobs.
Now they're at dinner. More like at the bonfire.
Chuck seems like a nice boy, those curls, cute cheeks, I think we'll get along.

I'm into deep reading that I don't notice someone laying beside me.
"What does it talk about, love?" a thick British accent says.
Love.
I smile.
"It's just a classic book" I say and hand him the book, he closes it and looks at the cover "Little women?" he asks i nod, then reads the plot on the back of the book.

"I'm keeping it, it seems interesting" he say, I laugh.
I sit up "hand it back, I haven't finished it yet" I say and try to grab it, but fail.
"Only if you tell be what happend last night" he says sitting up looking into my eyes.
His face is only inches from mine.
"I dreamt about something, nothing more, you know, everyone has bad dreams so there's nothing diffirent in mine, now give it back please" I say slowly.

I didn't exactly lie.
I lie back down and continue reading, Newt still beside me.
