His Girl ~ Newt x Reader

C12 - Double Date

I rushed towards the box, as did all the Keepers from the meeting. Newt and I looked at each other as he opened the box with Gally. I glanced down at the box and saw...a girl. "Holy klunk!" I exclaimed. I was so happy! Finally another girl I could talk to. Newt jumped down in the box. "What is it?" Someone asked. "It's another girl." Newt said looking up at everyone. Everyone broke out in a chatter. "I think she's dead." he explained. Another roar of chatter broke out. I took another look and she laid there unconscious. She had long raven black hair and pale skin. She was pretty, I wondered what happened to her or why WCKD would send up a dead girl in the box. "What's that in her hand?" another person asked. I glanced down and saw a piece of paper in her hand. I watched as Newt carefully grabbed the sheet from her hand. I couldn't help but feel a ping of jealousy as Newt's fingers brushed across her hand. Newt unfolded the paper and read it out loud, "She's the last one ever," Newt paused and looked up, "What the hell does that mean?" Just then she gasped and woke up. Newt was so startled at the subtle movement he jumped backwards. She breathed heavily, "Thomas!" She said before passing out again. Everyone's head turned towards my brother. "You still think I'm overreacting?" Gally said. During the meeting he must've been accusing Thomas of stupid things. Like Gally said to me before, he's seen Thomas in the Changing.

Clint and Jeff carry Teresa towards the Medjacks hut and me, Newt, Thomas, and Minho follow behind. The boys place her carefully on the bed as all four of us just analyze her. "What's goin' on? Why won't she wake up?" Newt questioned Jeff. "Listen man I got my job the same way you did." he shrugged. I chuckled lightly. The four of us all turned towards the girl, circling her bed. I noticed Thomas never broke his eyes from her. "You recognize her Thomas?" I finally asked. "N-No." He answered. Newt turned to him, "Really? Because she seemed to recognize you." You can tell he was stressed out from his voice. A lot of things out of the norm has happened recently and with Alby going through the Changing, Newt was now in charge. "What about the note?" Thomas said, trying to change the subject. "No, we'll worry about the note later," Newt said. "I think you should worry about it now," Thomas answered back. Minho raised an eyebrow at me, clearly entertained. I covered my mouth trying not to stifle a laugh. "We've got enough to deal with right now," Newt sighed. "He's right Newt," Jeff began, "The box isn't coming back up. How long do you think we're gonna last?" "No one said that. Let's not jump to any conclusions. We'll just-" Newt paused trying to find an idea. "We'll just wait until she wakes up and see what she knows. Somebody's gotta have some answers around here." I saw my brother beginning to get antsy. "Okay," Thomas said and finally decided to walk out of the building. "Well where are you going?" Newt asked. "Back into the maze." Thomas said flatly, without turning back. Newt motioned for Minho to go get him, leaving me and Newt alone. My brother was psycho, but in a good way. He just spent a whole night in the maze and already wants back in. I have a good feeling he's going to get us out of here.

Newt stared at the girl lost in thought while bitting his nails, a habit he has when he's nervous which I picked up on. I grabbed his hand. "Hey," I began, "you need to relax a bit. Okay? Everything will turn out okay. Things are getting better we're really close to finding a way out." "I know it's just..." Newt sighed, "A lot is happening right now and it kind of all was dumped on me because Alby is still out of it which is a problem in its self and it's hard looking after everyone especially now." "Everyone looks up to you already, Newt and you are doing so good so far. Here, maybe finish the meeting about Thomas right now and after if the girl wakes up, we can have a bonfire to get your mind off things. It is a tradition" I suggested, trying to help. "You're brilliant y/n" Newt said hugging me. I melted into his embrace hugging him back, "Seriously without you, I'd be so bloody lost. Thank you" "Of course Newt," I whispered into his ear, "anything for you." Jeff walked back in the room. "Ugh can you lovebirds ever get a room." Me and Newt let go, but i kept my arms around his neck and his hands were around my waist. I turned my head back towards Jeff, "Shuck off!"
