I'm sorry for the long wait. Wasn't sure what to do but...
I'm back at school so I'll only be updating when I can. And as much as I can.
Enjoy...

The silence was so deadly it felt like half of the people in the room were gone.

A smirk on gally's face appeard.

Newts eyes didn't move.

"Shuck this Alby, just banish her" newt shouted. "This is a complete waste of time. Minho, ben put her back in the slammer and do what gally wants."

"Newt. Shut it" Alby said with a puzzled look on his face.

I could feel my mouth had slowly drooped down and must have been floating around my feet.

Water was pooling up in my eyes.

Newt was still mine.

Nothing he did could stop me loving him.

Newt walked out of the homestead and I could see through the window that he was walking towards the maze walls.

I had blanked out and missed what Alby was saying.

I ran.

Ran to my boyfriend.

A few gladers Tried to block me off at the door but I bombarded straight through.

I let the tears fall.

"Newt!" I shouted.

I knew he heard me but didn't respond, getting closer to the walls by the step.

"Newt!"

I kept on running, nothing could stop me.

Minho was shouting my name and chasing after me.

Newts name was on repeat.

He had reached the walls and he stopped.

I knew they would be closing soon, within the hour.

I was a few feet away from him now, I stopped running and stood still, afraid he would run and I would loose him forever.

Minho was behind me. And a few others behind him.

"Newt..." This time I only whispered his name.

The sun was hiding behind one of the many clouds in the sky.

Time seemed to stop as his next words felt useless to the situation.

Newt moved his head to the side and I could see a tear was falling.

His body turned to face me.

"Don't leave" I pleaded. "Just don't"

Newts words hurt me more than making me feel better.

"I love you"

The tears were falling and his legs were moving.

The boy I loved began to run.

Before I knew what was happening, I was following him.

Minho was close on my heals and began to restrain me as I reached the walls.

The deafening creak began to close the walls.

Newt was running. So was I.

Minho was chasing. So was I.

The gap between the glade and the maze was decreasing rapidly.

Newt had reached the stone floors of the maze and minho had a hold of me and flung me over his shoulder.

I was kicking and punching him all over, so desperate to get newt back.

Minho wouldn't give in and was dragging me back to the glade.

I looked back to see newt gone.

As the last metre of space between the walls close, I was I'm the glade and newt was gone.

The walls were closed and so was my heart, leaking with sorrow for my loss.

Minho lowered me off of his shoulders and I sobbed into his muscular arms.

After several minuets, Minho tried to pull back but I wouldn't let him.

"He's gone" was all I said.

My best friend continued to comfort me, stroking my hair and hugging me back.

I could tell even before I had pulled away, there would be a patch of tear stains below his top left pocket.

"He'll be back." Minho whisperd. "I'm sure."

---------

The walls had been closed for over an hour.

I had been standing facing the same spot and not moved a single bit.

It started to rain. Full on water was pouring down and drowning me.

Some other gladers had walked over and asked me if I was okay but I never spoke.

They left me as I had wanted. In the rain alone. Waiting for newt to come back.

But deep down I knew he never would.

No one survives a night in the glade.

No one.

Newt was dead. He'd gone crazy.

Crazy because I'd punched gally?

Something wasn't right.

Impossibly, i slept.

Outside the walls on the grass as the rain died down.
