"DON'T LIE TO ME" Newt's voice teared through the air like a dagger. You always thought something was up with Newt after you escaped the scorch but didn't want to think about what probably was happening to your best friend. Now it's mad your worse fears become a reality. You heard Newt slam Thomas into the wall and it echoed across the room.

"DON'T.LIE.TO.ME" Newt said and you could see his eyes they looked clouded like he was not really himself. Like something or someone was possessing him and you didn't like the look or thought that was crossing your mind.

"Sorry" And then he was Newt again. The Newt who you grew up with in the glade. The Newt that you had grown a liking for. He started walking off probably to the roof. It's where he liked to go to calm down sometimes. You quickly walked off after him not wanting him to be alone right now while he was like this.

"Hey Newt you ok I saw the way you acted at Thomas in there. I know it's not your fault! I know you wouldn't do that out of choice so what's bothering you?" You say afraid you might be losing your best friend. "I guess there is no point in hiding this anymore" Newt says slowly rolling up his sleeve on this right arm. Your eyes widened at what you saw and you didn't want to believe it.

Why would this happen right now? How could they? Newt had dark black veins crawling up his arms closer to his heart. But he was immune! WICKED said he was immune! How could they lie to us about something as big as this? Newt had the flare. For how long though surely we could save him.

"Hey! Hey look at me your ok!" Newt says taking your face in his hands. "Don't worry about me. Our main priority is finding Minho." How could he say not to worry about him he was bloody infected.
"N-N-Newt y-your infected." You say your lip trembling as you spoke. There was a cure. There was no way you could let Newt die. WICKED must have a cure there just lying they have to be lying. "Hey, love look at me I'll be alright. and so will you." Newt says with his usual reassuring look.
"Newt I can't loose you not again!" You pause for a second "I need you!"

"I need you too!" Newt says. He stares into your eyes and then you feel his lips upon yours. It was a short kiss barely acknowledgeable but it gave you and newt what you both had been craving for so long. After a while, you and newt pull away looking at each other in disbelief. you had just kissed your life-long crush. He liked you back. You smiled uncontrollably. The moment was cut short when it dawned on you that Newt was not going to be here for much longer.

There must be something you could do there must be. "Hey, it's ok you can't save me. WICKED lied there is no cure. You'll be alright without me!" Newt said as if it was the easiest thing to accept when in reality it was one of the hardest. "T-That's not true I have no clue what I would do without you. D-Don't leave me please!" You stutter not wanning Newt to go. "Love, You'll be fine you will survive you have the others." He says becoming you over. He rubs circles softly on your back. His reassurance somewhat slowing embedding itself. "For now lets just enjoy what we have hm?" Newt says making the most of his sanity. You look up to him and nod. Slowly leaning into his chest

Every thing was going to be alright.

A/N: So sorry for the terrible inconsistent posting. Also sad chapter. I have no clue what to do for the next one but I doubt it will be out soon. Thanks for reading and just getting this far.
