Scorched Love (Newt x Reader)

Chapter 8

We run until we're far enough away from the building as possible before stopping.
"Well that was eventful" Aris said
"Yeah and it was a close one" Frypan said
I just stood staring at nothing. Fear was running through me. I never knew what being on the run was like. Even though I was running in the maze, this was different. We were out of our element. We didn't know what was going on. I was scared.
"(Y/N) you ok?" my brother asks coming up to me and putting his hand on my shoulder.
"I'm scared Thomas. I don't know what's going on anymore" I say and I start to cry and he hugs me.
"Hey it's alright, we're gonna be ok. Your alright" he soothes and I wipe my face.
"Sorry"
"Hey, it's ok to be scared because if you aren't scared, you ain't human"
"Thanks Tommy" I say and then I look to my right and I see Newt sitting on the ground cringing a lot and Minho was down beside him. I then go over, knowing something was up.
"Hey babe, you alright?" I ask kneeling down beside him.
"Being tied up by your feet and having a broken ankle, let's just say is not the best thing in the world to do" he says rubbing it, cringing as he does.
"He's struggling to walk, I had to help him sit down" Minho says
"We're far away enough, we'll let you rest"
"Don't tell Thomas, just say I'm feeling a little sick" Newt begs and grabs my arm as I stand up and I nod.
"Is he ok?" Thomas asks me
"Yeah, he's just feeling a little sick after being hung upside down. It obviously isn't his thing"
"I suppose we can stop, we gotta get moving early though" Thomas says
"Thanks" I say and I hug my brother. "I saw Teresa"
"What?"
"She woke me up before I woke you up today. She said no matter what she does, we have to trust her"
"Why didn't she stay?"
"I don't know"

That day we just relax and try to get used to what's going on around us. I was sitting down and Newt had his head in my lap and I was playing with his hair which had grown seemingly long. It was now starting to get in his eyes a lot more.
"He's getting suspicious you know" I say talking about Thomas
"I know, I just don't want to tell him"
"Why?"
"It seems stupid doesn't it? The way he looks at me, like I'm a leader. I can't just say that I tried to take my own life and instead injured myself"
"He'd understand"
"I don't know, sometimes I'd rather just keep things in the past"
"Like your short hair?" I smirk
"Haha. You always know that right time to crack a joke don't you?"
"Yep, and then there's Minho"
"24/7 with him it is"
"At least he sees the bright side of things most of the time"
"yeah true. Why were you crying before?"
"I'm just scared. It's different out here and we've lost so many people"
"At least we have each other. That's all we need"
"How is your ankle now that you're resting it?"
"Yeah, better than putting any weight on it"
"That's good at least, you think you'll be up for more walking tomorrow?"
"I'm gonna have to be anyway, even if I wasn't"
"Don't push yourself"
"I won't, you don't need to worry" he says and kisses me and then grabs my hand and holds it in his.
"You should get some sleep, you look tired" I say moving some hair out of his eyes.
"Ok" he says and then closes his eyes and starts to nod off.
"How's he doing?" I hear Frypan ask as he came over to us
"Yeah, he's feeling a bit better. His ankle doesn't hurt as much now" I say
"That's a plus"
"What's everyone else doing?"
"Jorge and Brenda are just talking to Thomas, Minho and Aris about the scorch and how they survived and all that stuff"
"Do you think we'll survive or will we end up like Winston?"
"I think we can but who knows what the scorch holds for all of us. We need to think positive though, that'll get us through"
"True"

Newt sleeps for about two hours and I ended up falling asleep up against a rock waiting for him to awaken.
"You should've told me to go and sleep somewhere else you know" Newt said as he sat up.
"I didn't mind it. There was nothing else to do anyway, bar having you put my legs to sleep" I say rolling my eyes
"We heading off soon?"
"You think you can walk?"
"Yeah, I can handle it"
I then stand up and then help Newt up onto his feet and he stumbles a little.
"You sure?" I ask holding him up
"Yeah, you know what it's like walking after you haven't done any for a few hours. That's all it is" Newt says steadying himself and walks around the place. "See I'm fine"
"Show off" I say and he laughs and we walk over to the others hand in hand.
"Hey Newt, you feeling better?" Minho asked keeping the ankle thing on the down low.
"Yeah, feeling much better. Should we continue going?"
"Never thought I'd hear you say those words" Frypan said as we all stood up and grabbed our bags and continued on our adventure. I stayed by Newt's side holding his hand just in case anything happened.
