I'm in the Glade. The Runners just got back from their day in the Maze, and the Doors are about to close.
Right?
"Minho, what's the time?" I ask when he walks up to us. "The Doors.."
"They should've been closed," he immediately answers.
I look at him, scared. "Now what?"
"I don't know. Go out there and ask some friendly Grievers what to do."
I look around and see Newt, which makes me feel relieved. Newt, my best friend, is here. I'm safe. Well, as safe as I can be, in the Glade with the Doors open at night.
A few minutes later, I hear a scream from the other side of the Glade. I can hear something like 'Griever'.
I immediately run to Newt, who hugs me. "It'll be okay, Y/N. I'll protect you. Nothing bad will happen to you. You'll be fine."
I hear his voice crack a little, which sounds really cute.
Wait, cute? We're being attacked by Grievers and I think about Newt's voice crack being cute?
Newt takes me to a safe place - as safe as possible. No one is safe from a Griever without those Doors.
"It's alright," he says. "We're safe here for now, okay?" He looks into my eyes, and I can't help but smile a bit.
"I like you, Newt," I whisper, without even noticing it.
Newt looks surprised. "Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Did you.. Say you.. Like me?"
This is awkward. "I.. I guess I did.."
My friend smiles. "Now I'm gonna be even more protective over you."
I smile. "Newtie.."
For some reason, I want to kiss him. But I can't. It's way too dangerous outside right now. And I'm too scared. But Newt doesn't seem to care much, and presses his lips to mine for a few seconds.
It makes me get a weird feeling in my stomach - like thousands of butterflies are flying around. It feels weird, but good.
"Sorry, we need to stay focused. Couldn't help that, though," he apologizes, the last part smiling shyly.
Then I realize something. Something I really have to tell him, especially now he has already kissed me.
"Newt."
"Yeah?"
"If we don't survive this.. Please know that I love you."
"I love you too, Y/N.. I always have. With all my heart."
