Newt almost about to jump off the wall...
"Today is the day."
"Today is the day."
"Today is the day."
Newt kept telling that to himself every day for the last two weeks. Over and over again.
The first time he got to the glade there was only two other boys, Minho and Alby.They tried their hardest to live there but they couldn't help but to hate that place and to feel sorry for each other.
Newt couldn't take this anymore. He didn't understand how did he end up in that place and why is their memory gone? He couldn't remember anything about his past, his family, his friends, his pets, his hometown. He felt that he would lose his mind if he let himself be in that place for more time than he was already there.
He didn't remember his family and still he missed their warm.
Newt really tried so hard to get along with Alby and MinHo, but he felt is world would collapse on top of him and crush him until his guts were like soup and his bones would turn into ash.
He didn't want his last resort to be to end his life.
He wanted to think that there was a bright side to everything that was happening to him, but there was none.
Newt almost didn't eat, speak or sleep. MinHo was getting truly worried with Newt and would follow him almost every single hour of the day to make sure he would eat at least a meal or get some rest, but Newt would succumb to his old and depressed self so easily that MinHo didn't know how to help him anymore.
MinHo would ask Alby to keep an eye on Newt when he had to go to the Maze but the thing was, Alby also had errands to deal with.
Newt couldn't just turn himself into a crybaby and be all: Boohoo, look at me, I don't have any memories of myself of my family.
He wasn't the only one going through the same problems but it was just so hard for him to acknowledge it and he let depression consume him in a dark way that no one should get a glimpse of.
Newt became so dark, no expression in his face at all. No sadness, no anger, no smiles or tears, joy or anything. Just a blank face ready to leave the world, to leave his body to rot in the grass and let his soul find whatever is there after your dead.
One day Newt found himself all alone, not just lonely, but alone. Alby was working and Minho was in the Maze. He couldn't take this anymore. He was sinking more and more in the black abyss.
He got up and his legs started moving towards the entrance of the maze. It was like he couldn't control himself anymore, his heart was filled with darkness and pain.
He got to the entrance and stood there staring at the infinity of that hallow place. He entered without looking back.
His body was sweating because the sun was hot against his body, but even like that he couldn't help but feel a weird cold that wouldn't leave his soul.
The tips of his hands were trancing the walls, filled with ivy, as he took a turn, and then another. He wasn't sure where he was going, but he was going somewhere and deep down he knew that wherever he went the pitch black within him wouldn't leave him alone.
Eventually he stopped and wiped the sweat of his forehead. He was so drowned in sadness and he couldn't even se clear. He looked up and examine the wall in front of him. The ivy. That's it. The pain will go away and I will be safe again. He thought.
He started climbing the wall, grabbing the ivy, firmly.
At one point we was afraid he might fall down but then, he didn't care anymore.
Near the top of the wall he stopped and a fresh breeze flipped his hair. He pressed his head against the wall and couldn't let go of the dark thought possessing his mind.
He let the tears fall from his face and whispered one last thing to himself "Today is the day."
He closed his eyes and simply let go of the ivy...
