The day had been a long and taxing one in the Maze. Despite your attempts to keep up your usual façade of strength, you had been struggling internally. The pressure and isolation had been weighing heavily on you, and the emotional strain became too much. In a moment of vulnerability, you had resorted to self-harming, a desperate attempt to manage the overwhelming emotions.
You were in a secluded part of the Glade, trying to hide the evidence of your actions. The bloodied cloth you had used was discarded, but the pain and the raw emotions still felt present. You thought you had managed to clean yourself up before anyone could notice.
Unbeknownst to you, Newt had been searching for you, his concern growing with each passing moment. He found you sitting alone, a pained expression on your face, and noticed the telltale signs of your distress.
"Y/n?" Newt's voice was gentle but full of worry as he approached. "What's going on? Why are you out here alone?"
You looked up, struggling to maintain composure. "I just needed some time to myself, Newt. I'm fine."
Newt's eyes scanned you, taking in the bloodstains and the marks on your skin. His heart sank as he realized what had happened. "You're not fine. You're hurt."
You tried to brush it off, but Newt's determination only grew stronger. He gently took your arm, carefully examining the cuts. His voice trembled slightly with concern. "What did you do, love? Why would you do this to yourself?"
The vulnerability and anguish in his eyes were palpable. "I... I don't know, Newt. I just felt so overwhelmed and lost."Newt's face flushed with a mix of anger and sadness. He gently wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a tight embrace.
"You don't have to go through this alone. You should never hurt yourself, y/n. It breaks my heart to see you in pain."
You could feel the sincerity in his embrace, the warmth of his body providing a small comfort amidst your emotional turmoil. "I didn't want to burden you with this," you whispered, tears beginning to fall.
Newt's grip tightened, his voice soft but firm. "You're never a burden. You're the most important person to me. I want to help you, to support you. Please, promise me you won't hurt yourself again. Let me be here for you."
You clung to him, feeling the weight of your pain start to lift just a little with his comforting presence. "I don't want to hurt myself. I just... I didn't know how to handle everything."
Newt's fingers gently brushed away your tears. "We'll figure it out together. We'll find better ways to cope with what you're feeling. You don't have to go through this alone. I'm here for you, always."
As he helped you bandage the wounds, Newt's touch was tender and caring. He stayed by your side, offering quiet, comforting words and staying close to ensure you felt safe.
When the bandages were in place and the immediate danger was addressed, Newt took your hand, leading you back towards the Glade. "Let's get back, love. You need rest, and we'll talk more about this. We'll get through this together."
As you walked side by side, Newt's unwavering support made you feel a bit more hopeful. His presence reminded you that, even in your darkest moments, there was someone who cared deeply and was determined to help you find your way through the pain.
