We had walked for about 2 more days or so and it was only getting hotter outside in the smoldering hot sun. My stomach was hurting for some reason but I wasnt sure why. I was slowing down slightly when I tripped over air.
"You alright love?" Newt asked turning around to help me up.
"Yeh, just tripped over the air ya know." I said. He chuckled. I had gotten up and that's when I felt it. Now I knew why my stomach was hurting. I saw a sand dune about 10 feet away from where the group was.
"I'll be right back, I'll catch up with y'all in a minute." I said to newt and ran over to behind the sand dune. Thank God for that box I found before.
I got myself situated, buried the trash in the sand and ran to catch-up to the group.

I ran back and fell into step with newt again.
"You alright?" He asked worriedly.
"Mhm..I'm fine.." I said wincing at the small stab in my stomach.
"What wrong?" He asked.
"Girl stuff." I said with a straight face looking forward.
"Ah, okay, when we stop for the night I will cuddle you." He said understanding exactly what I meant.
"Really?" I asked smiling up at him.
"Yeh, I mean only if you want to, I figured it'd make you feel better." He said with a shrug.
"Id like that." I said and smiled again.
That night he did as he said. After we all ate and it was time to sleep newt opened his arms and I crawled into them. I slept with my back against his chest and he had his arm around my torso laying his hand on my stomach. I slept as well as one girl could that night.
