Mistake || The Maze Runner || Y/n x Newt

43 Infected

"No. There's gotta be another way." Thomas walked back to the table, he refused to have Teresa a part of the plan.
It was day and we were back across the walls and told Benda, Frypan and Jorge about the plan. We were in a room standing or sitting around the table papers were sprawled out, covering its surface.

"Like what? You've seen the building." Gally said.

"Tom, she is our only way in." I told Thomas.

"You really think she's gonna help us?" Thomas asked.

"I don't plan on asking for her permission." Gally answered.

"Am I missing something here? This is the same girl who betrayed us, correct? Same dick?" Brenda asked.

"I like her." Gally smiled.

"What's going on?" Brenda asked Thomas with a kind tone.

Thomas didn't answer probably trying to figure out himself.

"What, are you afraid your little girlfriend's gonna get hurt? Hmm?" I look at Newt, it wasn't just what he said but that his voice was cold and harsh, I'd never heard him talk that way. "Because this has obviously never been just about rescuing Minho. Has it?"

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Thomas turned to Newt stepping closer concerned.

"Teresa." Newt stood up straight his voice growing louder with every sentence. "She's the only reason that Minho's even missing in the first place." Newt's face was only inches away from Thomas's. Thomas was stepping back as Newt got closer till his back was almost on the wall.
"Now we finally have an opportunity to get him back. And what? You don't want to because of her? Because deep down inside, you still care about her, don't you? Just admit it." Newt

"Newt, I..." Thomas spoke quietly.

"DON'T LIE TO ME! Don't lie to me!" Newt slammed Thomas into the wall.
This wasn't Newt, this was something else, but I wasn't him. I stare at him there was fear in my eyes but the fear was for what was happening with Newt.

Newt slowly backed away from Thomas. "Sorry." He then turned around to us. "I'm sorry."

I watched as Newt limped out the room silent room.

I get up to follow him.

    "Maybe we should just give him some time." Gally blocked my way.

     "Gally get out of my way before I break your nose." I didn't mean to sound that angry it's just I needed to get to Newt, there was something he wasn't telling me.

I walk out onto the roof there was a gentle breeze. Newt was sitting on the edge his legs dangling over. Slowly I walk over to him.

"Sorry about that. Back there." "I guess I can't hide this anymore." Newt pulled up his sleeve.

I felt like I had been stabbed in the heart and the blade was slowly turning. His veins were black slowly making their way up. They spread out like spider webs.

    "Why didn't you tell me?" I blink back tears.

"Didn't think it would make any difference. All I know is that WICKED must have put me in that Maze for a reason. Maybe it was literally just so they could tell the difference... between Immune's like you and people like me."

I shake my head as tears escape. Newt pulled his sleeve down and pulled me into a hug.

"W-we can still fix this, Newt. We can."

"Love, did I ever tell you about... when I broke my leg."

"Newt... I was there."

"I know, just listen. Way back in the Maze, I'd just come out of the box like all the other guys. Didn't know where I was, didn't know who I was. Even though all my memories were gone I could still feel... that something was missing... I felt empty. And I... just couldn't handle that... I couldn't take it. I went into the Maze and I went and found the tallest wall I could. I climbed up there and I... I jumped off it. Course I got completely tangled up in all the ivy." Newt smiled.

"Snapped your leg in three different places, like a proper shank." I smile but tears were in my eyes.

"Landed hard on the floor. (Y/n), I thought that was it. Then you found me, somehow. You gave me a reason to stay. With you was wasn't empty, you made complete, you were what I was missing. Love, don't worry about me. This is about Minho. Now he needs us. So if there is even the slightest chance that we can save him... we can get him out of there, then we have to take that. No matter what the cost (Y/n)."

"Newt, I'll always worry about you. I can't live without you. I can't lose you."
