The Maze Runner imagines

85//Newt

After 2 years... Welcome back ;)

"Thomas we need to go!" You cry as a loud growl echoes through the dirty sewers. Thomas doesn't respond and you know why... it's because Thomas knows what's about to happen.

"Thomas please!" You beg "I have to do this. We have to do this right."

"O... okay." He obliges and you follow the cries of pain until you reach him: Newt,the boy you loved since you came up in that box. Newt:the boy who was dying.

"Help... help me get him up..." you force the words out as you and Thomas wrap your arms around Newt.  "We have to go!" You yell as an army of cranks come limping towards you all. Newt made your getaway extremely difficult,squirming away from your grasp and screaming at you to let him go. He eventually managed to shove you off and plummet to the ground,gasping for air and sanity.

"I'll hold them off!" Thomas begins shooting his gun but you didn't watch. You devoted all your attention to Newt. You cradled his body for a few moments,whispering it's okay and I love you to him over and over.

"LET ME GO!" Newt cries,clawing at your clothed arm.

"No..." you stroke his cheeks "I'm not gonna leave you."

"BUT I'LL HURT YOU!" He let outs an animalistic roar "Y/N I'm a bloody crank you need to run!"

"I'm not leaving," you repeat and lay him down. His sweaty and shaking hand gripped in yours. The sound of gunshots stopping alerts you that Thomas had killed all the cranks. He kneels beside you and looks into Newt's eyes.

"Newt..." he whispers. "What do you want us to do?"

"Tommy..." he smiles and points a trembling finger to the gun in Thomas' pocket "thank... you..."

"No." You grab the gun and hold it tight "NO Newt!"

"Then... what?" Thomas hisses "you want him to turn? Is that what you want Y/N!?"

"I don't... want this..." you start to sob "please..."

"Y/N," Newt cups your cheek,you see the tears stream down his face "baby I don't want you to be scared okay? This is right... this is what I want."

"You don't have to do this.." You sniffle.

"You are gonna be fine," he smiles through gritted teeth. "You are gonna beat this world, I know you will. You are smart,you are strong and you are so brave. And I love you."

You nod and put your hand over his "I love you too..."

"Just... promise me you'll do what's right?" He wheezes out... he was running out of time. "It's so easy to do the wrong thing in this world. So... if it looks easy don't do it,if it looks wrong don't do it. Don't let the world spoil you. Do you understand?"

"I understand..." you sob.

"Good," he lets out a shaky laugh "Y/N..." he curls his veiny fingers through your scruffy hair "so beautiful... my sweet Y/N... best thing that's ever happened to me. I love you."  He wipes the tears from your eyes and pulls you onto his chest,the pair of you sobbing as he kisses your head gently. "Okay... okay now... Tommy... take care of her? You promise?"

"Promise..." Thomas whimpers.

"Thank you... you know... I'd follow you anywhere." Newt grips your head and nods to Thomas "do it now. Please Tommy... please..."

"No..." You whisper to yourself,your hand slowly uncurls and you look at Thomas for a few seconds,then an unconscious and soon-to-be-a-crank Newt.

"We have to go..." Thomas panics,standing up as he grabs his bag.

"We can't just leave him here!" You cry "he'll turn..."

"Y... Yeah...." Thomas pulls out his gun but you stop him.

"No."

"Y/N..."

"He's my... Love. Go. I'll meet you."

"I'm sorry..." Thomas wipes his tear-stained eyes and slowly walks away. You take a few seconds to gather yourself as you turn back around to Newt who lay there ready to become nothing. Your gun sat trembling in your hands as you look over him one last time.

"I'm sorry..." You press a soft kiss to his lips,positioning the gun at his head as you turn your head away and fire... You jump at the loud sound which drills through your bones. Without thinking,you put your jacket over Newt's head and stand up on your shaky feet,grabbing your back and walking out to Thomas who looks at you in sheer shock.

"Y/N..." He whispers,he reaches out to touch your shoulder but you flinch back "I could've done it for you..."

"No. I had to. Let's go.... We need to finished what we started,destroy Wicked. You with me?"

He nodded "Always. For Newt?"

You nod back "For Newt."
