Lost without you × Newt × A Maze Runner fanfiction

Chapter 47

'Gally, what are you doing here?' Newt asked.

'He's been stung, don't.' I whispered.

'You shouldn't be here, all of you.' Gally said.

'What are you talking about? Gally, we're free.' Newt answered. Newt placed his arm in front of me, pushing me back. He slowly walked forward until he stood in front me, protecting me.

'What, you think you're free out there?' Gally was yelling now. He scared the crap out of me. I really disliked this guy.

'Yeah, and you can come with us. Just put away the gun.'

'I can't go with you. We belong in the Glade, that's our home. I can't!' He yelled the last past but I saw a tear streamed down the boy's face.

'Just put the gun away, okay?' Newt tried again.

'No...' His voice was insane.

The next minute or so went so quick, Gally pulled the trigger while Minho threw a spear at him. Gally fell down and I could hear people scream. Did someone get hit? My heart sank when I looked at Chuck, he'd sprung in front of Newt and he had a gun wound in his stomach. 'Rosa?' The boy whispered and he fell down.

I caught him in my arms and sat down. Chuck's head rested on my legs and I let out a large sob. 'Chuck! No... Chuck just stay with me okay?' I said, 'You'll be fine, just look at me, look at me.' The boy did what I asked him and I pushed my hand on his wound. He was not dying, he couldn't. 'It's okay.' The boy said, I could barely hear him because his voice was so weak. 'Thank you.' a tear streamed down his face. I could feel a hand on my shoulder.

'No! Just stay with me, please, Chuck, you'll be okay!' I whispered while I rubbed his hair out of his face. He looked at me and suddenly his eyes fixaded on the ceilling. He faded away. 'No...' I whispered, silently sobbing. I kept stroking his face.

He'd passed away. I couldn't handle this. 'No!' I yelled. I began crying and I looked around me, the boys expressions were all shocked. 'No... No...'

Newt stroked my shoulder and I could see his eyes were wet. I focused on Chuck's lifeless face. The red cheeks he used to have were gone and his eyes stared at the ceiling. I closed his eyes, and he looked like he was sleeping. Tears streamed down my face and I took Chuck's hand. 'Sleep well, little one.' I whispered.

I sat like that for a while. I was deep in my thoughts, in a world were Chuck had lived happily ever after. In a world he would have met a sweet girl and have little babies. In a world full of happiness and love.

I got torn away from that peaceful image because Newt was dragging me with him. He was running towards a opened door. A bright light came out of it.

'Let go of me! We can't leave him here!' I yelled to Newt and I got on my feet. Newt stopped running and wrapped his arms around me. 'I know. But we don't have much choice. I'm... so... sorry!' He whispered in my ear and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

'No...'

Newt took my hand and I glanced at Chuck one more time. Then I ran through the door.
