Forever in my mind~a Newtmas fanfiction [HIATUS]

Chapter 10: Far too young to die

NEWT'S POV

My hands slide down the rough concrete walls surrounding the Glade as my world falls apart.

He's gone.

He's gone.

The phrase repeats itself inside my head, over and over again.

No one has ever survived a night in the Maze, and the chances for someone who hasn't even been here a bloody week are even lower. I turn around and slide down the wall. When I land on the grass, I cover my eyes with my hands in order to hide the tears. Time passes on, and I just sit there, sobbing, dreading Tommy's fate. Dreading my own fate.

He was the one that made my world brighter, so much brighter. I felt as if I deserved to live again. And now he's gone, and I feel like I am gone too.

Tommy, my Tommy.

The tears start falling again, and I can feel myself sliding down and down, until I'm on the ground, and I curl up in a ball. My shoulders shock and my aching head feels as if it's about to explode. I have been crying for a while now, and the sky's already gone dark. I am so tired, but I can't get myself to my feet to walk to the Homestead, so I decide to just lay here and wait. Wait for the impossible to happen. Wait for my Tommy to return.

The sobbing doesn't stop for what feels like another century, and I'm exhausted. My eyelids start growing heavier and heavier, until I can feel them shutting, and I slowly drift off, into an imaginary world of nightmares.

I'm facing one of the doors. The sky is a light shade of pink mixed with orange and light blue, so it must be morning. I'm confused. The ground starts shaking, and the door opens itself, like it does every morning. I close my eyes, and when the noise stops, I open them.

I sprint into the Maze, and follow one of the paths, hoping to find my beautiful Tommy. I run, as fast as my legs allow me to. I turn around a corridor.

And that's where I find him.

Slumped against the ivy-covered wall.

Dead.

A/N: FEELS.
