Just Pull The Trigger || newt

Chapter 11

NEWTS POV:

After 6 days I was beginning to think she would never wake up.

Alby kept on trying to make me believe jess would but I had my doubts.

Gally had been in the slammer for 3days and two nights until we had finally agreed to let him go, as long as he promised to go no where near to where jess was.

Of the 10 days she had been at the glade, she had only, in theory, been conscious for 1 and a half.

If jess didn't wake up now, it was unlikely she ever would.

I hadn't let myself sleep until now. I told myself just 5 minutes but I ended up with 40.

It was coming up to lunch time when I heard her mumble my name. Giving me false hope for the millionth time.

But really and truly this time, I saw those hazel brown eyes open and her beautiful long brown hair move with the ever so slight gust of wind that swept through the medjacks room.

As soon as her eyes did open, jess sprang upwards and was gasping for air.

Clint was near by and he and I both tried to calm her and get jess to lye back down.

"Newt..." Jess kept on heavily breathing.

I couldn't speak, was I out of shock or just simply gob smacked that the girl I was in love with had woken up after so long.

"Okay Jess, you need to stay lying down." Clint spoke slowly, in order for jess to understand. "Your body isn't going to be used to be sitting up just yet."

Minho and Alby had been popping in and out of the room over the time she had been out.

Clint left to go and tell Alby.

"Hey jess..." I said and gently kissed the top of her forehead. " I've...we've missed you so much"

"How long have I been out?" She half mumbled. None of her talking was very well pronounced just yet.

I thought before I spoke. "You know, each time something like this happens, that's always the first question." I gave her a sympathetic smile."six days and 4 hours.but don't worry you're safe now"

Jess continued to look with her eyes trying to read my own and me and I was almost certain she felt the same way about me as I did with her.

When Alby and minho did come in jess was still lying down but proped up on a couple of pillows.

JESS POV:

"Glad to see your back with us" Alby said giving me a welcoming smile.

Minho came over and sat the other Side of me and gave me the tightest possible hug ever.
"Don't die on me!"he said pathetically.

My voice came out croakier than I had expected"don't worry Minho, I won't" and I gave him a Matching pathetic pat on the head as he hugged me tightly, squeezing the remaining breath out of me.

".....minho....."

"Oh sorry" he said letting go. "I just had nothing to do while you were gone. It's been pure torture and newt hadn't even left your side."

Alby took a seat to left of me, In front of newt.

If someone were to walk in it could look like an interrogation.

"I understand your very weak, both mentally and physically at the moment" Alby continued to look at me but I had lost the contact long ago."but from what I've heard, when newt told you what the note had said, you ended up on the floor and are now here."

"And your point is?" newt spoke up for me.

Minho gave newt a look that said 'what's your problem?'

As newt, Minho and Alby of course were the first gladers to ever walk the glade, minho and newt in particular had become the closets of friends and would tell eachother everything.

Alby then paused before saying "Gally was right and therefor he thinks punishment is needed-"

"Alby, what the bloody hell! Jess has done absoloutly nothing wrong while being here in the glade and now you want to shucking punish her?"

"Newt-" I tried to speak.

"No Jess. Alby. That is not going to happen, you leave her alone and if that shuck faced gally ever comes near her, I swear to god someone is going to die!"

Newt was practically screaming his words now.

"Alby you can't to this. Minho help me out here?"

Silence crept in and lured in the room for several seconds.

Minho finally broke the awkwardness. "Newt calm it" and faced him.

Before walking out, newt looked me dead in the eyes and then left. Emotion did not exist for him right now, only anger.

Minho and Alby gave eachother 'the look' before he ran out after him.

Zart was busy shuffling in the background so Alby and I were able to have a conversation.

"You know I never said we were going to punish you, only that's what gally wants." Alby said in a loud whisper.

MINHOS POV:

I had know this dude for over three years now.

I knew what feelings were but this was differnt.

As newt walked out of the room, I followed after him.

He contained walking until he was over by the large tree on the south side of the glade.

Newt sat with his head in his knees and I gently sat beside him and said "talk to me, this isn't like you"

Newt lifted his head up and we both looked off into the distance.

"She's so innocent. It's not true. They are just trying to manipulate us. Gally is wrong. Adams death was an accident. It wasn't Jess."

I hated seeing my best friend like this. "I know it's more than that." I took a deep breath . " you really like her, don't you?"

After no reply I said "Jess feels the same way."

"You mean she likes me?" Newts face lit up as he turned and faced me.

I knew what to say.

"No idiot she likes herself too"

His face fell.

"Just kidding shuck face. She really likes you. I see the way Jess will look at you. You know when your trying to figure out what someone is feeling"

Newt said "I need to tell her."

And with that he ran off in the strangest of directions.

My little buddy was in love.

It's true.

Jess was really attractive. The way her hair would flow down her back and the loose waves would flap about in the wind.

He loved her and she loved him.

-ed +s

He loves her and she loves him.
