Jealousy

Part 15

I awake to the sound of footsteps crunching in the leaves, making a very loud sound. I open my eyes alarmingly, and sit up quickly to see if the figure is Paige. "Oh, y/n. I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you!" Newt says as he carefully carries a tray in his hands. "Here," he whispers as he lowers the tray down to me. "I brought you breakfast." I lean up and kiss his cheek and begin to eat the cereal set nicely on the tray. "Is Minho up yet? I thought we could start earlier today," I say with a mouthful of cereal. "No, not yet," Newt says laughing as I talk with my mouth full. I finish my breakfast, and stand up from the uncomfortable ground. "Here. Let me take that, love," Newt says as he takes the tray from my hand. As I gain my balance, we lock hands as we make our way to the Homestead...

Paige's POV
I hear a faint crunching sound as I begin to wake up. I rub my eyes and yawn as I sit up to see who could be up this early. I notice two figures walking toward me, which look mostly look like Newt and Y/n. Even the thought of her makes me so angry, especially at the thought of her hanging out with Newt. I quickly lay down as they approach, acting as if I never woke up yet. I need to think of some way to get rid of her... And I think I just thought of the perfect way to do it.

Newt's POV
I sent y/n to wake Minho while I took the tray to the Kitchen in the Homestead. As I open the door to the creaky building, I notice Frypan washing dishes. "Hey Frypan," I greet as I hand him the tray. "Mornin' Newt," Frypan smiles. I wave before exiting the building to see Minho and y/n walking toward me. "Hey shank!" Minho greets with a wide smile. "Hey," I smile back. "Y/n said about starting earlier today. Are you good with that?" Minho asks. "Good that," I smile. We nod as we jog toward the Map Room, my limp hurting more than ever....

Y/n's POV
We enter the Map Room and grab our gear from the back room before returning to the Homestead to fill our water bottles and to grab a few snacks. We slowly walk, knowing we have plenty of time because of starting the day early. "Woah. I forgot my pocket knife," I say urgently. "Hand me your water bottle, we'll meet you at the Maze entrance," Minho says. I sling off my Runners pack and quickly pull out the water bottle before handing it to Minho. "Thanks," I say before jogging toward the Map room once again. I swing the door open and frantically look for my pocket knife. I sling off my pack once more, double checking it just in case. "Looking for this?" Suddenly Paige appears from the back room, holding my pocket knife in her right hand. "You should've known better than to steal my boyfriend, you slut," she laughs. My heart starts to beat one hundred miles an hour, and I have no idea what to do. "Running out of ideas?" She smirks as she lunges at me. We land on the hard concrete, her hand pressing the knife towards my face. "You can't have him and I won't let you!" She cries as I roll on top of her, the knife still remaining in her hand. "Is that really what this is all about?!" I shout into her face. "Newt?!" She smirks sheepishly. "Oh please, as if you didn't already know. He was my boyfriend! You were perfectly happy with Thomas. But as soon as Newt and I become happy, you steal that from the both of us! Plus you broke poor Thomas's heart. You're pathetic," she spits in my face. I punch her cheek with my free hand, my other hand holding down her hand containing the knife. She screams in agony as the knife clangs to the floor. I slide for it, recovering it in my hand as I quickly stand up. "I'm not stooping to your level, Paige. Don't try anything, or I will kill you. Good that?" I say as I back away towards the door, the knife held out in front of myself for protection.
