Safe and Sound » Newt [Maze Runner]

twelve.

(important author's note at the end!!)

AVIA'S P.O.V

I stumbled alongside Newt, nearly tripping too many times. He had a mind of his own and wasn't too concerned about the fact that even though he couldn't walk much better than me, I was bound to fall at some point.

"So," I started, clearing my throat. He glanced over at me with a squint from the beating sun. "What's this meeting about?" I asked.

He stayed quiet for a minute before answering me so I took the opportunity to take in his features.

Strong prominent jawline, beautiful neck and collarbones showed off perfectly by his shirt, his mess if curls and his small freckles. Wow.

My admiring was interrupted by a lopsided smirk and a groggy voice.

"Staring, yeah?" He asked, snark evident in his tone. My cheeks turned pink in embarrassment as I looked to the ground.

"Yeah." I muttered, internally screaming as we reached the meeting. We stopped at the door, turning to face each other. He just smirked and shook his head, running his hands through his hair.

I just smiled softly before entering the meeting, my heart heavy in my chest.

"Avia, tell me what happened from your point of v-"

"Well now we know its gonna be all lies!" Gally scoffed, rolling his eyes and earning a few snickers from the boys around him.

Alby sighed, looking ready to punch Gally. But, who wasn't ready to punch him?

"Well," I started, sitting up straighter in my seat. "I was just minding my own business, eating my food when Gally decides he wants to be a psychopath and threaten to kill me and pull my hair and drop me onto the floor." I scoffed.

Gally's face was crimson with anger, his jaw clenched. His breathing was heavy as he stood slowly. My heart nearly stopped as he began to walk towards me.

Newt slowly stood as well, getting ready to stop him.

"Gally, sit down." Alby boomed. Gally stayed silent as he stopped about two feet in front of me. I craned my neck to look up at him, my palms dripping in sweat.

He stared at me for a few more seconds before storming out of the room, the door slamming shut behind him. The room fell silent, the only sound being the faint commotion of the gladers.

I looked up at Newt, shocked to see his gaze on me. He made me weak in the knees.

Avia. Stop.

I apologized quietly before standing and quickly walking out.
