Love Me Till The Limit - Newt x Reader x Thomas

23

By the time Thomas and I returned to the group Marcus was a bloody mess, tied down to a chair.

"What is going on here?" Thomas asks, everyone turning their attention to us.

"Did you tell him?" Cora questions, of course that was the first thing on her mind. I think it was safe to say she was excited to be an aunt.

"Yes, now what's happening?" I reply.

"Marcus just happily gave us directions to the right arm." Newt sarcastically adds, but at least now we had some idea of where we were going even if we got it by beating up a guy. We leave right after Jorge finishes the map that Marcus had described, he wasn't much of an artist but it would get the job done.

"Are these car keys?" Minho says whilst picking a keychain from the floor, there was a number of keys but only one had buttons that displayed a lock and car alarm. We all began fighting over who gets to drive, I called dibs first but Minho argued he was the one to find it so he got priority over everyone else.

"Do any of you even know how to drive?" Jorge interrupts, all of us quickly realizing our fighting was pointless because we didn't know which was the gas pedal and which was the brakes.

"I call shotgun then." Minho announced as he throws the keys to Jorge, the only adult in the room. And just like the everyone was bickering again all the way out to the car, I was fine sitting wherever so I stayed out of this argument. By the time I get to the car the only open seat left was in between Newt and Thomas, I mentally scold myself for not getting there sooner.

"How long until we get there?" I question only 2 minutes into the trip.

"Long enough." This was going to be the most excruciating car ride ever.

"Can I have a drink of water?" I ask Newt in particular since he was the one who already had his  water bottle out. But both Newt and Thomas hand me theirs at the same time, making awkward eye contact with the other.

"You know what on second thought I'm not thirsty anymore." I'd rather suffer in silence and die from dehydration than choose which water to take. I pretend to fall asleep to avoid any type of socialization that could lead to all of us feeling uncomfortable.

"We're here." Thomas says whilst nudging me "awake." The tall rocky mountains restricted us from seeing anything outside all the small ravine we were in, the only road was narrow and blocked by cars that had clearly been abandoned for a while. We began walking, every so often hearing a rock tumble down the mountain side. Animals lived up here, right? The hairs on the back of my neck perked up only moments before gun shot was fired, only hitting inches away from where I was standing. Everyone ducked behind the rusting cars as more shots echoed throughout the canyon.

"Is everyone okay?" I hear Jorge yell after all the firing stops, I was beginning to hate him a little less each time he spoke. He didn't need to make sure we were okay but did anyways.

"I'm all good." I reply, I had taken cover a few cars away from everyone else.

"We're all fine too." I hear Newt answer next, Thomas must of been with Jorge since I saw them walking near each other. I was somehow in the front, nearest to the tunnel that we were trying to pass through. Jorge said something but I couldn't make out what, all I was about to catch was "bomb" and "run."

"Can you repeat that?" I yell, cupping my hands over my mouth to produce a louder sound. No one responded, just as I was about to try and get a peak of where they were at I hear the clicking of someone loading a gun behind me.
