Love in the Maze (Newt x Reader)

Epilogue

I woke up in the middle of the night, nightmares keeping me awake. They were about what had happened, Rachel and Beth, the workers... I was stunned by it all. I sat up straight in my bed and leaned against the wall beside it. 'Oh Newt... I wish you were here', I sighed deeply, hoping that God had heard my wishes. It had been a year since seeing his gorgeous eyes and his soft hair and his handsome face. Last time I saw him was when the doors closed, locking him in the Glade and locking me in the Maze. His face broke my heart in more ways than one. And that scream...it shattered my eardrums, for a second I thought I had gone deaf.

Something wet had fallen onto my shirt and I glanced down to see that it was my tears on my shirt! The thought of Newt and the boys were obviously too much and so tears were now flooding down my S/C face.
"Y/N? Are you okay?", I hear Milly call from above. When I don't answer immediately, she starts to climb down and sits on my bed.
"Tell me what's wrong", oh my God. Those words, that accent, it was all too much like Newt. He had said the same words to me and had also held my hands, so was Milly right now. So I cried, I cried as she held her arms around me. I was sick of being strong, of being the one to hold everyone together. Because I couldn't do it all the time, I was also human, I was no hero, just Y/N.

I soon calmed down, raising myself out of Milly's hold. "Thanks, Milly. I needed that", I mumbled to the small blonde, who had big, brown eyes looking at me with love in them.
"Good, that", she smiled a toothy grin at me. Oh God, how she sounded just like Newt, just like her brother, it was astonishing how I saw Newt in her.
"You know...you are just like your brother. So caring, so loving, it's no wonder I love you like a sister", I whispered to the girl as I lay back down to sleep.
"You love me? So you love my brother?", Milly asked with curiosity radiating from her small form.
"Yes. Very much. I love both of you very much", I replied, dozing off again.
"Wow...he must be really special for you to love him the way you do".
"He is...".
"Y/N...? I love you too". With that, Milly curled up next to me on the mattress and fell right to sleep again. I stayed awake a while longer, but finally fell asleep with one final thought.
'I love you, Newt'
