All of the Gladers were muttering amongst themselves. Newt couldn't make out what they were saying but he didn't need to guess the topic of their conversation.
Four Gladers most probably dead. Their leader, two of their best Runners and the Greenie.
Most of them had turned and were heading back to the Homestead where Frypan had cooked dinner but no one felt very hungry.
Only Newt, Gally and Chuck remained at the foot of the Doors, staring at the grey stone. In his anger, Gally kicked them, hard and then winced in pain. He stormed off towards the direction of the Deadheads. Chuck also scampered off, leaving Newt alone with his thoughts.
Just when they thought they might have a lead on escaping this godforsaken place, a new tragedy struck them hard. It was like the Creators were messing with them. Giving them false hope. Newt silently cursed the people who put them here.
Some part of him wanted to believe they could make it. But he knew that was impossible. He missed their laughter, their jokes and their optimism. He even missed the Greenie's never-ending stream of questions. He missed the girl he loved.
He had pushed those feelings aside for so long but now he would do anything to go back and tell her, even if she didn't feel the same way. Now she would never know.
Newt felt so alone. They wouldn't want him to give up. But it was hard not to.
There was nothing more to do, except sleep. So, with a heavy heart, the boy turned and limped over to the hammocks which were swinging lightly in the breeze.
Night was slowly closing in on him as he looked on at the closed Doors. Behind it, his friends were fighting for survival while he was stuck uselessly in here. He would have been out there, if— He couldn't bring himself to relive it.
Newt shut his eyes but couldn't shut out the pain. So, despite the constant ache in his chest, he drifted off into a fitful sleep.

I changed Teresa's arrival slightly to fit the story, but she will come don't worry.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
