The Broken Glader

Part 21 - Teresa

Newt's pov:

Clint and Jeff had checked her 'vitals' whatever that was and said that she was fine and would wake up sometime tomorrow. The bonfire ended early and we all headed to bed. I had Sunny in my arms stroking her softly. She was an incredible stress reliever.
I sat down on my empty bed and started to change. That's when I saw it. There was a small book just in view from a crack in the floor board. I went to move it and realised it was loose. I lifted it up, holding the book in front of me. I opened the first page.
It was Y/n's diary.
I started to read it. The entries had started a few days after she arrived.

Oh my shucking hell. How did I not know? How did I not realise? She had been having panic attacks and flashbacks for months now and I hadn't fucking noticed. I was such a bad boyfriend.
I placed the book back under the floorboard and covered it up.
I laid down in bed and slowly drifted asleep.

I woke up to the cold, empty bed and forced myself up. I changed and headed over to the medjacks' hut to check on her. She was still very much asleep so I went to breakfast. Today's breakfast was eggs and bacon. Luckily Sunny had come up with a small bed for her to stay in while me and Y/n weren't with her. I finished eating and walked over to the gardens. I had just began working when the glade filled with the familiar glaring of an alarm.

The box. It was coming up.
How was that even possible? Thomas had come up just 3 days prior.
I dropped my tools and sprinted toward it. Me and Gally opened the doors and I jumped down.
I just stared for a few moments before everybody started shouting at me.
"It's another girl." I said back. Everyone went silent as I stared in awe at the beautiful girl.
"There's something in her hand!" Someone shouted from above.
I gently pulled it out and read the note out loud.
"She's the last one ever." I said staring down at the piece of paper.
"What the bloody hell does that mean?" I thought out loud.
Suddenly the girl gasped for air before sitting up. She coughed before glaring up at all of us, clearly terrified.

Alby finished giving her the tour and telling her about the rules and jobs. I walked over to them.
"Hey greenie. You alright?" I asked
"Yeah thanks." She replied.
"Any luck on your name yet?" I asked knowing the answer.
"Yeah actually. It's Teresa." She said smiling.
"It's pretty." I smiled back. She blushed.
"Newt! Y/n's awake!" I heard Jeff shout across the glade.
"Gotta go Teresa, see you later." I said rushing off to Jeff.
I walked in.
"Newt!" She called to me.
"Y/n!" I responded.
We hugged and then I sat down next to her on the bed. She looked at me smiling. I looked back, frowning.
"What's up blondie?" She asked concerned.
"I found it Y/n." I replied looking right into her eyes.
"Found wha-" she stopped answering her own question.
"Newt I -"
"Were you ever going to tell me?" I cut her off angrily. "Were you ever gonna get help? Let me help you? You have been through so much Y/n. You don't deserve to put yourself through that alone." I shouted.
She just looked at the floor. Tears falling slowly from her eyes.
"I just, I just didn't want to be a burden." She muttered wiping her eyes.
"Y/n you could never be a burden to me. Never." I held here hands forcing her head up.
I embraced her and we sat there for a few minutes. She had her head nestled into my chest. I stroked her hair lightly.

Y/n had to stay in the medjacks' hut for a few more hours just so they could make sure everything was ok. I decided to walk around the glade. I bumped into Teresa again.
"Oh hey Teresa!" I said smiling
"Hey Newtie." She smiled back.
I lightly blushed.
"Did Alby tell you about Y/n?" I asked curiously.
"No. Who's that?" She asked.
"The only other girl in the glade and my girlfriend." I responded smirking.
"Oh, cool." She mumbled quieting her voice.
We both continued to walk our separate ways.

- Y/n pov:

Jeff finished checking on me and walked out of the hut. I saw Newt talking to some girl and then walk off.
What the actual fuck. Since when was there another greenie and also a girl!?
I headed over toward her.
"Hey there! I'm Y/n." I introduced myself to her with a friendly smile. "I am so glad I am not the only girl in the glade anymore!".
"Hi. I'm Teresa." She said quietly looking angry.
"I know this place is confusing and all that but don't worry I'll make sure you're ok." I said.
"I don't need your help bitch." She said brushing past my shoulder and walking off in the other direction.
I stood there in shock. The new greenie just called me a shucking bitch!
I walked over to where Newt was sitting.
"Hey N/n" he called over to me.
"Hey Blondie." I smiled.
"Have you met Teresa?" He asked.
"Yeah she seems, um nice." I said sort of trailing off. I decided I didn't need to make her glade life shit because of a bad day.
Newt stood up and told me he was going to homestead to check if Alby needed any help.
I decided to climb up the tower and sing for a bit, my back still unhealed.

Nervous trip over my words
You're so pretty it hurts
Baby I'm yours
Baby I'm yours
Baby I'm yours
I need something more
I pray to the lord
But baby I'm yours

It felt so good to sing again. I mean it's not like it had been long but it always made me feel peaceful.
I climbed down and headed toward my hut.
Teresa walked past me again.
"You sounded like a cat dying. Y/n maybe you should shut your dumb mouth bitch." She whispered in my ear.
I just glared at her as she walked off.
I went into the hut and saw Sunny. Poor thing had been alone all day. I picked her up and she returned to her usual spot on my shoulders.
