I wish I could say the maze was okay. That everything was peaceful, and everyone got along like a family. I got over Newt and Emily. But then I'd be lying.Nothing was okay for me. I was kept inside the med huts for a week after Clint, despite my long and loud protests, sewed my leg back together. Gally was the only one who kept me company, ironically. Him and I bonded over our shared anger and bitterness towards the gladers after my small blowup.
He seemed to understand me. He knew I was broken under this hard and angry shell but knew not to overstep. He kept my mind busy with his constant fighting classes. I wanted to know how to toughen up and he helped.
The one person that I wanted to see was Newt. He came in once, a day after it happened. He came in to check on me but I dismissed him. I said I was too tired to talk and said maybe later. He never came in again.
I was sitting with Gally by the other builders when a loud argument took our attention, along with most of the glades.
"I'm so tired of you not showing me any care anymore! All you do is ask me to bend the rules for you!" Newt screamed at Emily. They had a few fights these couple weeks and they were becoming louder and more frequent.
"All you do is march around the glade being second in command. You're never around anymore!" Emily's high voice squeaked back.
Gally chuckled and elbowed me in the stomach. "Trouble in paradise?"
"That's it! I'm done with this. All we do is fight and I'm tired of it! We're through!" Newt yelled and stormed away from her. He turned his direction towards the builders and started coming towards us.
"Here comes the devil himself. Stick your ground, (Y/N)," Gally said nudging my shoulder. He stopped right in front of me with his arms crossed and steam coming out of his ears. I stayed emotionless dangling my legs over the side of the table Gally was finishing up on.
"Can I talk to you for a moment (Y/N)?" He asked. I looked towards Gally who gave me a reassuring nod. He must have read my mind. I turned back to Newt and gave him a sly smile.
"No."
His face turned to shock and pain as he unfolded his arms. "Come on. I just want to talk."
I climbed off the table and started walking towards the kitchens. "And I said no."
"Please (Y/N). Just give me a couple minutes. I have nobody now." I stopped in my tracks, with my fists balled at my hips.
"Now you know how I feel," I hissed and stormed off faster away from him. He ran to catch up to me and grabbed my arm. He yanked me towards the woods while I pushed on his tight grip and dug my heels in the dirt but nothing worked.
He stopped me at a tree and forced me to look at him.
"What the hell do you want?" I growled and crossed my arms. His face looked taken back before he softened up in front of me.
"Why are you being like this? This isn't like you. You're never this-"
"This what?" I cut him off. "Hmm? Rude? Selfish? Deceitful? Mean? Cause I'm just going based off what I see."
He stood there very confused and honestly it made me angrier. "What are you talking about?"
"You. You're the worst person I've ever met. I'm just doing everything you've done to me."
"What did I do to you?" He asked looking now more hurt than confused.
I scoffed. "So you were too love sick to realize how you treated me? You abandoned me, Newt! You tossed me away like I was klunk ever since Emily got here! And all for what? Cause you thought you loved her?" I groaned in frustration and tugged on my hair.
"I loved you! I DO love you but you chose her! I don't know why I wasn't good enough for you. I love you but you treated me like I was nothing." My voice changed dramatically. I wasn't yelling anymore, I was croaking. My face wasn't red, my eyes were as they filled with warm tears.
There was a long pause before Newt spoke up.
"You-you love me?" He asked in disbelief.
"For as long as I've known you. Everything about you. Now... I can't stand to look at you." I looked down at my feet once the tears began pouring. "I just wished you noticed me. I mean why was she better than me?"
His guilty eyes stared into my broken ones as he came closer to me. I backed up but he pushed further and pulled me into a hug.
"I don't know why I chose her over you. (Y/N) you're amazing. You're my best friend, but I guess I only saw you as that." He lifted my chin and revealed a smirk. "I can learn to love you, (Y/N). It's not hard to love you." I backed away and curled my arms around my body.
"Then why haven't you done if yet?" I whispered.
He came closer again but lost the smirk. Now he had tear stained cheeks as well.
"Can we start over? I can't lose you again. I won't. We can pretend like you just came out of the box just like how we met. Then we'll see what happened from there. Please?"
"How can you look at me knowing I love you and you don't feel the same?" He put his hand on my cheek. I closed my eyes, taking in the feeling of his skin on mine.
"Who said I didn't feel the same?" He leaned down with his eyes on my lips. Everything in me was screaming that this was a bad idea, but my aching heart took control.
I lifted onto my tip toes until his warm lips touched mine. A feeling of warmth and comfort spread through my veins as his hands found my cheeks. The kiss only lasted a few seconds when we broke apart.
I pursed my lips and stared into the brown eyes I loved and missed. I smiled up at him making him return it. "Who are you?"
"Names Newt, greenie."
