VERONICA'S POV
NEWT got on top of me and we were rolling on the ground. I pushed him off of me. He was kneeling down, drool was falling from his mouth. "Rony, kill me!" He begged. "Newt, I'm here." I tried calming him down, when I noticed that Newt was still there and he hasn't cranked out completely. But Newt wasn't agreeing with me. He jumped on me. Growling and making all these weird noises. "Newt, please!" I yelled, not being able to handle him anymore. All of the sudden he just stopped.
"I'm sorry, Ro- I'm sorry, Rony." He breathed out. "It's okay. It's okay." I mumbled. Newt just stared at me for a few seconds and reached to the side to grab something. He grabbed a gun. At first I thought he was going to shoot me, but he pointed the gun at his own head instead. "No!" I pushed the gun off of his hand. My heart stopped when I saw that Newt was about to take his own life.
I gained enough strength to push him away. He reached to his back pocket, grabbing a knife. He was trying to stab me in my chest. I was barely holding him back. He managed to make a cut, but it wasn't too deep. I yelled in pain and kicked him in the side of his stomach, causing him to fall. Then I punched him in the face.
We both got on our legs. "Newt!" I was backing away and he was swinging his knife at me. He was getting closer and closer. Right when he was about to stab me, I managed to grab his hand and he dropped the knife. The Crank inside of him went even more furious. He got on top of me again, trying to choke me to death.
"Newt. Newt, ple- please, stop! It's me." My ears started ringing and my vision went blurry. This is it. Newt is going to kill me. I was seconds away from death, when someone managed to push Newt off of me. I was catching my breath and I looked to my right. I saw Thomas, Frypan, Gally and Minho holding Newt to the ground and Brenda injecting the serum.
I got up, slowly walking towards them. I looked at Newt. He had calmed down. Then I noticed the gun that was laying newt to him. I had to finish what I started. That's what Newt told me when I wanted to find a way out of the Maze. I listened to him back then, I'm going to listen to him now too. I grabbed the gun, glancing at Newt for one last time. Newt is safe. That's the only thing I care about. So it doesn't matter to me if I don't make it.
"Veronica, what are you doing?" Minho just looked at me. I stayed silent and I walked away. "Veronica, no! Veronica, get back here! Where are you going?" I didn't listen. I continued walking, until the voices disappeared in the distance.
I was at the WICKED's building. I saw her. Ava Paige. That bitch. I slowly walked towards her and pointed my gun at her. I was unable to stop the tears from my eyes, knowing that I could've lost Newt tonight. "Is it true?" I whispered. My hand was shaking uncontrollably. Ava just looked at me, confused. "Newt. Can I really save him?" The lump in my throat was making it hard for me to speak.
