Second Time Around // Newt x Reader

5

       You came to a stop in between Minho and Alby. The Box hasn't opened yet.

"How long does this usually take?" You asked no one in particular.

"30 minutes." Alby said.

You saw Newt out of the corner of your eye staring at you. You didn't look at him and pretend not to notice.

After about 20 minutes or so, you sat down and put your head in your hands. Thomas did the same.

"How long have we been waiting?" You asked.

"30 minutes."

You groaned, "I'm gonna go check on Chuck. Come get me when this thing finally gets here."

You got up and started walking towards the Med-Jack Hut. You felt a pair of eyes on your back. You don't have to turn around to see its Newt, you just somehow know.

You walk in the door and make your way to the room Chuck's in. He was asleep. But as soon as you walked into the room his eyes fluttered opened.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" You ask him, sitting on the side of his bed.

"Horrible."

"In which way?"

"Emotionally and physically."

"Make's sense. Do you remember what happened to you before you found me and Newt?" You had to force his name out.

"I remember waking up. There was a Griever a couple of feet away." Chuck said. "It was just staring at me. I stood up, carefully. Then backed up to a wall. As soon as I moved behind it, the Griever ran after me. I remembered which way we went to get out of here the first time. So I followed it back, well until I tripped and it got me by the leg. But it felt more like a bite. It still hurt like hell, though. It shut down like it malfunctioned for a second, I was able to get my leg free and find you guys."

You just nodded.

"Oh, and (Y/N). Is that right?"

"Yeah, Chuck."

"I had this vision when I was bitten and when I was just sleeping."

"What was it?"

"It was you."

"What?" You felt mixed emotions about what you just heard.

"You were crying. You had a knife in your hand, I thought you were going to kill yourself. But you dropped it. You looked panicked. You kept covering your ears and eyes, screaming for something to get out of your head. But when it didn't, you ran. Into the Maze. I watched you make your way to section 7, once you got there a wall opened. I don't know how the wall opened. But you jumped. There was nothing there, just darkness. Everyone panicked. They didn't know what to do. They sent someone out there to get you."

You felt like you were hit in the gut with a meal baseball bat. How did he know that? Was that even real?

"(Y/N). I think that was one of. . . . . Thomas's memories. Not mine. I was in a WICKED laboratory at a computer."

"Ch-Chuck? How did you know that? Is that even true?" You asked.

"I don't know."

"Hey! The Box finally decided to show up." Minho said running in. "You okay, (Y/N)? You look like you've just seen a ghost."

Because I did. You thought.

"I'm fine." You smiled as best you could. "See you, Chuck."
