Newt x female!reader [[The Maze Runner]]

Remember

My fingers wrapped tightly around the little capsule in my hand. The long ribbon that was attached to it, almost dangled to the floor.
My steps felt heavy, as I took one after the other, trying to find a quiet spot for myself.

After everything, that had happened, there was no time. No time to grieve. No time to cry. No time to remember...

I sat down at the shore. I looked around but saw no one. Most of the people were at the camp, enjoying their freedom. I could spot some of the gladers. They were laughing and talking, enjoying their time too.
I looked back down and felt a tear slip down my cheek.
I wanted to be with them. I wanted to be happy, to laugh, to enjoy our freedom.

But I couldn't...

I couldn't, because he wasn't here. Because Newt wasn't here with me to enjoy it.
I looked at the capsule and mindlessly twisted it around in my hands, while eyeing the sea.
Suddenly, I heard a plop and the capsule opened, revealing a rolled up letter.
My eyebrows furrowed, while I pulled the sheets of paper out and slowly unrolled them.

"No way..", I mumbled and carefully stroke the Letters of my name on the paper.
Eagerly, I started reading.

Dear Y/N,
This is the first letter I can remember writing. Obviously, I don't know if I wrote any before the Maze. But even if it's not my first, it's likely to be my last.

I put a hand over my mouth, trying to process, that these words were actually written by Newt, knowing that he was about to die.

I want you to know that I'm not scared. Well, not of dying, anyway. It's more forgetting. It's losing myself to the virus,thats what scares me.

I clutched the letter tighter, as I rememberd Newt's last moments before his death. His dark eyes not showing any sign of the sweet British boy, I fell in love with.

So, every night I've been saying their names out loud.
Alby, Winston, Chuck.

And I repeat them over and over like a prayer and it all comes flooding back.

Just the little things like when the sun used to hit the glade at that perfect moment right before it slipped beneath the walls.

And I remember the taste of Frypan's stew. I never thought, I'd miss that stuff so much.

And I remember you..

"Oh God, Newt", I mumbled and looked up for a minute, trying to contain my tears. Of course, he had to write something cheesy. He's always been cheesy.
A chuckle left my lips, as I remembered how often he used to tease me back at the Glade.

I remember the first time you came up in the box. Just a scared little greenie who couldn't even remember her own name. And the first girl we ever saw at the glade.
I remember looking at you for the first time. You looked so peaceful, laying there inside of the cage, but the you woke up and I remember, that you slapped me in the face and slipped past the boys, immediately heading for the Maze entry.

I believe, we've never had another greenie, as crazy as you were.

A smile was plastered over my face, as I remembered the day we met. It seemed so long ago, now that we were here.

"It's a girl"
I heard various whispers and murmurs of people who presumably seemed very interested about my arrival. I had no idea, where I was nor who I even was. I didn't even know my name.
I didn't know these people, so my first instinct was to run.
So, I ran. I got up as fast as possible. I pushed away the boy, that was standing next to me.
"Woah!!" he yelled, but I was already out. I pushed past all the boys and immediately started running. I looked around and noticed the huge door, which also seemed to be the only one around this... I don't know, Glade?
