Thomas Sangster & Newt Imagines

Secret Love || Newt- part 9

Almost two weeks have already passed and Newt's condition remained the same. I tried my best to make him feel as comfortable as possible, even if I was aware he was still uncouscious. I would sleep in the Medjack's hut almost every night, making sure I would keep his body warm; I would feed him with soup three times a day and clean his body twice a week; I made sure Clint would turn his body from side to side to protect his internal organs; I would even massage his muscles once a day to keep them functional. And I was taking care of all these things before and after my daily run into the Maze.

Of course Clint did his best to take care of Newt in my absence, but the emergencies were his priority. So nobody was surprised when after just a week, I became a tired mess.

"You can't continue this way", Gally told me one evening.

We were sitting on a log near de Bonfire, sipping from a cup of his special drink.

"I have to", I replied. "I know Clint is busy with you guys chopping your fingers everyday", I laughed punched him in the arm.

Gally laughed too, but then he became serious again.

"They're thinking of giving up", he said.

"What?!" My eyes widened at his statement and I looked at him in shock. "You can't be serious."

The Keeper of the Builders sighed and put his arm around my shoulders. "I heard Alby talking to Clint. They give him one more week. Clint said his brain must be already damaged enough to not even recognize us even if he wakes up."

I started to shiver, hearing his words. I moved my gaze to the ground and gulped, hiding my face in my hands. Then I shook my head in denial, clearly not agreeing with Alby's decision.

"They can't do this", I whispered.

"They will if they have to", Gally told me. "You need to be strong and prepared for this."

"I will never be prepared for that!", I yelled at him.

Tears started to run down my cheeks as he wrapped his arms around my body and pulled me into a warm hug.

"Everything is going to be fine", he said gently stroking my hair.

I hugged him back and I rested my head on his chest, listening to his heart beat. They were slow and calm, making me feel a little bit calmer by the minute. I sighed and closed my eyes, being suddenly tired.

A pair of lips touched my forehead and I felt someone carrying me upstairs.

"Take me to the Medjack's hut", I mumbled to the person holding me.

"You need a good rest, you're going to sleep in your bed tonight", they responded.

I was too tired and already half asleep to even argue. My body was gently laid down onto the bed and blankets covered me soon after. My lashes were heavy and my mind numb. I was not able to even think or move.

"Good night, beautiful", I barely heard the words before I felt a pair of lips pressed onto mine.

One second after I fell into a black abyss.

I woke up the next morning feeling a little bit dizzy and with my head pounding; almost like having a hangover. Of course I didn't remember of any hangovers sometime before the Maze, but the explanation seems logical in my head.

I squeezed my eyes at the rising sun beyond the Maze Walls and got up from bed, stretching my muscles a little bit. I realized I was half naked, but the cool morning air was just what my warm skin needed in that moment.
