Newt x reader

Chapter Forty

You wake up in the hospital with your arm in a cast and Newt asleep in a chair next to you. You don't want to wake him up if he's asleep but you desperately want to talk to him, so you just kind of sit there awkwardly staring at your cast and trying to move your fingers.

"(Y/n)?" Newt is finally awake, and by your side in a split second.

"Hey," you smile, glad that he's there.

"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault," Newt says, holding your hand that isn't in a bright green cast.

"No it's not! I'm the one who's weak," tears start to form. You close your eyes to prevent the tears from escaping.

"(Y/n), you're not weak, and you can't let him get in your head like that. I'm the one who forced you to go back, I'm the one to blame, baby, not you," Newt says, putting his head in his hands, clearly not happy.

"You didn't force me to go back. You gave me a break. That's more than anyone has done for me. That is not your fault, it's mine. I'm his daughter, I'm the reason that he does all of that." You say.

Newt shakes his head, "How could any of this be your fault?"

You shake your head, "It just is. Let's not talk about this anymore," you say, tears beginning to form.

"Okay, shh, baby, we don't have to talk about it. It's going to be okay," you nod, not really wanting to say anything, you just feel so overwhelmed.

"I'm sorry about telling Tommy and Minho, but I just couldn't leave you there any longer and all the flights were sold out and almost all of the flights were being delayed and I didn't know when I was going to be here....."

You smile, and he looks relieved, "It's okay. It kind of felt good to have someone else care and know."

He looks a little nervous, "In order to get here earlier, I had to tell my mom," he bites his lip, looking a little sheepish.

You feel your heart drop now, but you give a little half smile anyways, "It's okay, maybe she'll let me stay longer now."

"...She wants to call the police. I convinced her not to until she could at least talk to you about it, but I think it might be a good idea, so do Tommy and Minho. We just want you to be safe."

You sigh. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. You don't really want him in your life anymore..... "I'll think about it," You say, not really wanting to make a decision yet.

"Thank you, (y/n), that means so much to me," he says looking relieved. "So everyone wants to come and talk to you, but I don't know if you're ready for that right now, so we can just pretend that you're still asleep," he says giving a little half smile.

"Thank you," you say gratefully, smiling.

"I have some cards? We can use these to entertain ourselves for a little bit now?"

"That sounds amazing. Can I have a kiss first?" You ask, biting your lip.

"Of course," Newt says, his face breaking into an enormous smile, as he sits next to you, and you two kiss before spending an afternoon playing cards together all day and laughing together.
