Newt x Reader ~Fangirl in the Glade~ *UNDER EDITING*

Chapter 16

Thomas raced past us with Ben hot on his heels. Ben was stung, he should be with the Medjacks. I go to jump from the tree to help, but Minho grabs my arm to stop me.
"We have to do something!" I shout at him.
"We can't, they think I'm in the Maze, who knows how they'll react if we go running out there together, let's just hope Thomas can run faster."
I look back in the direction they ran in. I hope. I think to myself.

After some more basic training, Minho goes silent and looks to the ground.
"So?" I ask hopefully. He looks back up at me.
"Not bad Greenie, tomorrow we'll train again." I smile, but then it fades.
"Come on Minho, I've been training hard all day. Let me go into the Maze with you."
"Listen, (Y/N), I'm not gonna be the Shuck-face that gets you killed by sending you out there unprepared. We're training again tomorrow and that's final. Now if you don't mind, I need to go run in the Maze before someone notices."

I nod and watch Minho leave. I wait a while longer before leaving myself. I start heading to the Homestead when I bump into someone. Newt.
"Where've you been?" He asks, looking at me suspiciously. Quick, think of a lie!
"I went into the deadheads for a little wander and I decided to climb a try... and I fell asleep." He seems to buy my lie and begins to tell me about Thomas and Ben.
"He escaped from the Medjacks and ran in there," He points to the Deadheads. "To attack Tommy. I'm surprised you didn't notice."
"I'm a heavy sleeper."
"Right, well, Ben is...uh...he's dead." I freeze in place. He's gone? Newt wraps his arms around me. "I'm sorry (Y/N), I know he was your friend." I pull away.
"It's okay. I think I'm gonna go to bed now." I turn and leave.

I'm woken in the middle of the night by banging on my door. I get up and open the door to see an excited looking Minho.
"Change of plans." He says.
"What? Why?"
"While running I found a Griever. A dead one. Alby and I are going to check it out tomorrow." I look up at him. "No, you cannot come." He adds. I look back down.
"Fine. But you found a dead Griever, that's weird and amazing. Tell me all about it when you get back." I go to close the door.

"That's not all." He steps inside and is followed by an angry looking Newt.
"You lied." Newt says. "(Y/N), were you training with Minho in the Deadheads?" Minho looks to the ground.
"Yes I was." I finally respond.
"I want you to stop at once." He states bluntly and before I knew it, I was shouting.
"WHY SHOULD I?" Newt seems taken aback by my sudden outburst.
"Because I don't want you to get hurt." He retorts.
"That's why I'm training, Newt, so I don't get hurt. I don't want to be protected anymore, I'm as capable as any other Glader, Minho can see it, so why can't you?" Tears sting my eyes, but I blink them back. I'm not gonna cry anymore. I push past him and run to the Deadheads. I'll show him. I'll show them all! Starting now, no more Little Miss Cries-A-Lot!
