Minho's POV:

The next hour of waiting for Clint to allow me back in could have been the worst hour of my life.

I had been thinking about the. . . let's say incident.

What Thomas had said, what I thought, what I could guess about.

I think that was the worst feeling in my life. Not pain, the feeling of seeing Newt suffer, and me able to do nothing about it. I had been sitting by the ledge again, and as I was walking towards the hut after what felt like much more than an hour, when Thomas intercepted me. He had an attempted smile on his face, which looked more like a grimace. I smiled and stopped walking to let him catch up

"Hi Thomas!"

Thomas's eyes were darting all over the place

". . .Hi."

I was feeling slightly giddy since I could see Newt again.

"I was just heading over to see Newt!"

Thomas looked unsure

"Well, that's what I was going to talk to you about. Can I come? I mean it's about. . ."

The whole. . .incident. I nodded

"Yeah, sure! C'mon, let's go!"

Thomas smiled gratefully, and we started walking in a comfortable silence. When we reached the hut, we were greeted by Sonya, the girl from group B.

Something about her reminded me of Newt. . .

She smiled at us

"Lemme guess, you're here to see Newt?"

I nodded and she opened the door

"He's been looking forward to it."

"Well, I've been looking forward to it too."

Sonya motioned to go in.

"Get in there then! Clint should be in there, but he'll leave."

I walked in, Thomas waiting behind, and was greeted cheerfully by Newt. Clint almost immediately left.

"Minho!"

I walked over to Newt's bed. He was sitting up, and I hugged him.

"Shuck, I swear that was the longest hour of my life."

Newt smiled

"I think it was more than an hour."

I mockingly glared out the door

"If it was, I'll kill Clint."

Newt hugged me again, and when he pulled back, I glanced towards the door, and I must have looked anxious, because Newt looked worried.

"Hey, everything okay? Did something happen? If I was there would it have helped?"

I opened my mouth to respond but Newt kept going

"Shuck, I knew I should have been able to get up. I knew something would happen. God, I'm so stupid, I should have been there and-"

I grabbed Newts shoulders and looked into his eyes

"Nope, nope, nope. Nothing happened. You're not stupid, never were. You can't even stand yet, you are not getting up."

Newt sighed

"Then what?"

"Well. . ."

I beckoned to the door, and Thomas walked in, incredibly cautiously I might add. He looked very nervous
