My Hero ~ Newtmas

I woke up the next day feeling really dirty, as always, and decided to wake up Tommy, it was right before the doors opened and I thought I should show him what Greivers are. So I rolled out of bed and slightly shook his shoulders, "Tommy, wake up. I wanna show you something." I say in a whisper, his eyes flutter open, and with the sexiest morning voice I've ever heard he asks me, "What's so important that you need to wake me up way before sunrise?" I smirk, "you'll see..."

We walk over to the maze, and Tommy asks, "what is that place? Are we just trapped in this small space?" "Well Tommy, inside these walls is the maze, the walls open up every sunrise, and close and hour before sunfall. That's how the Runners get in. Wait. How didnt  you know about runners when I asked you about what you wanted to do in the glade?" I raised an eyebrow. "Well, I don't know... Something in my head told me to say 'Runner' when you asked me... I didn't know what they did and how the job worked, it's like my mind was telling me what to say..." I was in shock. I probably had the strangest look on my face but I didn't care. I wanted to find out why... Why was he meant to be a runner? Is this supposed to happen to everyone? Just know the name of what your supposed to be and no details? Wow... That didn't happen to me...

I just went on with what I was supposed to show him. "Well Tommy, this here is the maze, as you can see through this little window, there is a weird creature in there that always comes out at night.  We call 'em Greivers. Nasty creatures they are. Take a look for yourself." He looks in and Tommy and the Greiver makes eye contact. And the Greiver jumped onto the window right before our eyes. Tommy jumps back and makes a short scream in suprise as the Greiver claws at the i breakable window, trying to escape. As Tommy jumps back, he flies into my arms and hugs me like he's about to die. It is so freaking adorable. He clings on to my shirt and I say, "Don't worry Tommy, it won't hurt you unless you're on the other side of the wall at night. I will make sure that doesn't happen so you don't have to worry." I pat his back and he awkwardly lets go and starts blushing. I giggle a little because of how cute he was. "You know, you're really cute when you're scared." I say with a chuckle. This causes him to blush even harder, if that was possible. "You wanna go eat breakfast? I'm pretty sure Frypan's awake by now."

 He just mumbles, "sure..." So I head off to go get breakfast and Tommy just follows, dragging his feet. I sit down and he sits down next to me. After being quiet for the next few awkward minutes, I hear the doors starting to open up. I am not phased, but Tommy on the other hand is absolutely mortified. He looks around with wide eyes and screams, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" I just laugh at him once I am able to talk, I say, "t-that's the maze opening!" I say between laughs, "I told you it opens every morning! What did you expect? For it to just all of a sudden be open with no noise at all?" He is blushing again, "well... Yeah actually..." This causes me to laugh even harder. He just looks down at his food, blushing furiously. He was so damn cute when he was embarrassed. We continue to eat in silence and when we finish I start to stand up when I see Alby walk through the door. I need a Gathering... I need to tell everyone about what has been happening to me every day. The horrible thing that this horrible person has been doing to me... For 2 years! 2 shucking years...

I walk over to him and he says in a calm voice, "g'morning Newt. What do you need?" I take a deep breath and say, "there needs to be a Gathering... It has to consist of everyone except for... (Says name of person. You'll find out near the end of the chapter)." He raises an eyebrow, "why?" Another deep breath, "You'll find out at the Gathering... But we need this Gathering... It's very important... You need to know..." I start crying. I put my face in my hands and he pats my back and says, "okay. I trust you enough for me to know that this is important. We'll have it at 12:00 this afternoon. We'll put (name of evil person) in the slammer until it's finished." "Thank you Alby, thank you." Then I walk off with a smile on my face.

I started feeling nervous about the gathering... What if they don't believe me? What if they think I'm the one who's been foung it, not (evil person)? What if they banish me along with him? Oh, so many things can go wrong...

I head off to the room where we have the gathering, because before I knew it, it was 5 before 12, and (evil person) had just been put in the slammer. Alby had everyone gather, and the Runners had started coming back, for Alby had told them about the gathering before they went off. Everyone took there place and I walked up in the front of the room and felt everyone's eyes on me. Alby was up there with me and asked, "So Newt, what's so important that you made us have a gathering? What happened?"

I took a deep breath and spoke, "If you haven't noticed. I had everyone come here. Everyone except one person...

Gally...

The reason why... Is because Gally has been doing horrible things to me for the past two years... And I've finally decided to speak up... I know I should've done this a long time ago... But he told me that if I tell anyone... That he would be sure to torture me in the worst way possible and then kill me... So at least I'm telling you now...

Every night... At 12 O'clock... Gally came over to my bed and woke me up... He took me to the Deadheads and did horrible things to me... It all started when one night... He was really drunk... And he woke me up... And gagged me so I couldn't speak... He brought me to the deadheads, tied me up really tight to a tree... And he raped me... He shucking raped me... I felt so dirty... He treated me like a piece of klunk... And he did the same thing the next night... And the night after that... And it happened every night... He told me these horrible things... And on the second night, when he didn't gag me, I told him that I was gonna tell someone if he didn't stop doing this... And he grabbed a glass bottle, and hit me with it until it broke... He beat me up and left me on the ground covered in my own blood... And when he was finally satisfied with how broken I was... He raped me... Again... He kept saying that no one cared about me and that I should do the gladers a favor and kill myself... One night... I've had enough... I climbed halfway up the maze wall... And jumped... And as soon as I was able to walk again... He raped me again... He woke me at 12 every shucking day... And raped me..." I was in tears by now, "I've started cutting a few months ago because of him. Gally is the reason I started cutting... Gally is the reason I want to die... Gally is the reason I jumped..."

I walked away and out of the room, a sobbing mess. I soon heard the door swing open, and I felt a hand in my shoulder. I recognized it immediately. Tommy. "Newt... I had no idea... I'm so sorry... Alby wants you back in the gathering... He wants to discuss Gally's consequenses..." I nod and walked back in the room where everyone's face  was in complete shock. Everyone was silent. You could hear a pin drop. Alby finally speaks up, "Gally shall be banished tonight. If anyone disagrees, speak up now." Nobody spoke up. Gally was to be banished tonight. Because of me. Well, the bloody shank deserved it.

Everyone left the gathering room, still silent. Tommy pulled me over in a hug, and I cried into his shoulder. He was the best. I don't know what I would do without him at this moment. Even though I've grown close with Minho, even though I've been trusted by Alby, Tommy was the best friend I had.
