His Girl ~ Newt x Reader

C11 - Survivors

I slowly fell out of sleep and felt a presence around me. I opened my eyes and saw I was wrapped up in Newt. I was internally screaming. I tried to get out from the bed, but his arms had a strong grip around my waist. I decided to just wait until he woke up. He honestly looked so good asleep.

I then remembered the events from last night. I quickly looked out the window, and saw the sun was beginning to rise meaning the doors would open any minute now. "Newt," I whispered, attempting to wake him up, "Newt," I said a little louder. He began to groan, starting to wake up. "Hey Newt," I said one last time and he slowly fluttered his eyes open. I watched as his eyes grew wide when the first thing he saw was me with my arms still around him. When he began to remember the night before and regain his consciousness, his eyes went back to their normal size, but his cheeks stayed tainted pink. "Good morning y/n," he said with a closed smile. "Good morning, let's get up and go to doors, they should be open any minute now."

We both got up and made our way towards the doors. There was already a crowd of boys there, waiting for the doors to open, hoping that they all miraculously survived. "What the shuck were you freaky slintheads doing last night," I heard a random glader say when me and Newt walked towards everyone together. Some of the guys around him laughed I just rolled my eyes and didn't say anything because now was most certainly not to time to make jokes. "I have a feeling they survived, even Thomas," Chuck said to Newt and I. "I really hope so," I said latching on to Newts hand who just stayed silent with his eyes glued towards the opening.

Just then the doors began to rumble open and I held onto Newt's hand harder. My heart sunk in my stomach when I didn't see a sign of anyone and tears began to form in my eyes. I really thought they had a chance. "I told you Chuck," Newt began as we started to head towards the Homestead, "they're not coming back." How could this happen? I just finally reconnected with my brother and now he's dead. I hated this place. I hated the shuck creators who put us hear. How could they sit here and watch teenagers die?

Zart then nearly scared me when he broke the silence saying, "No way..." he began which caused me and Newt to stop in our tracks and turn around. "YEAH!" Chuck exclaimed. And there they all were. Thomas and Minho were walking back carrying Alby together on their arms. All the gladers began to cheer for them. "Oh my gosh" I said under my breath with a smile beaming on my face. Newt and I walked towards the entrance and Newt motions for them to pass him Alby so the boys can have a rest. Newt and a few other boys carefully place him on the floor, then Clint and Jeff take him to the Medjacks Hut. I quickly hugged Thomas with joyful tears in my eyes. "You dumbass don't ever do that to me again." I said as my tears fell onto his shoulder. He hugged me back. "I'm sorry sis," Thomas said. I let go and held his shoulders and pushed his hair out of his face, examining his cuts and bruises. "I'm glad you're okay though." I smiled at him and he smiled back. "You saw a griever!?" Chuck asked. "Yeah I saw one," Thomas answered. Everyone looked at Thomas in shock. "He didn't just see one," Minho began, "He killed it"  We all looked at him shocked. Damn my brother was a total badass he hasn't even been here for a week and he pulls this shit. "Alright," Newt began, "We need to have a Gathering right now. There's a lot to discuss." All the Keepers plus Thomas began to head towards the Homestead. "Newt," I said grabbing his wrist and stopping him. The other boys continued walking away leaving us two alone. "Yes, love?" I lowered my hand that was on his arm to his hand. "You'll do the right thing," I reassured him, "Don't listen to Gally," I said hugging him. "Thank you," he said into my back, squeezing me back. I let go from the embrace. "Tell me everything that happens later. Okay?" "Good that." He said and smiled. I quickly kissed his cheek. I lingered for a bit before saying, "Bye Newt," and turned and walked away as quick as I could. I can't believe I just had the confidence to do that. Adrenaline was pumping through me.

I walked towards the lunchroom for breakfast as the Keepers had their meeting discussing the recent events. I was so happy all my friends survived. I saw Chuck there by the entrance, leaning against the wall. "Hiya Chuckie," I greeted him. He had a smirk plastered on his face "Heyyyy y/n" I gave him a questionable look. "Okayyy? I guess. Wanna get breakfast." "Yea but can we discuss you and Newt. Mwah mwah" Chuck said making mocking kissing noises. "Chuck!" I yelled at him as we walked inside. "What? You should've seen Newt's face after you kissed him. He looked so red and happy that he was going to explode." Chuck said laughing. "Chuck shut it you are like screaming! It was not even a real kiss you can calm down. And wait really?" I asked. "Haha, yep! Honestly, the brit has literal hearts in his eyes when he sees you and he follows you around like a puppy. There's no way he doesn't like you." Chuck said as we got into line for food.

Could it be true? Could Newt possibly like me back? I mean I was the only girl so it can't be impossible. I was snapped out of my thoughts of Newt when I heard the greenie alarm. Chuck and I looked at each other wide eyed. Thomas just arrived here. How was that possible?! Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and rushed outside. This couldn't be good.
