The Maze Runner imagines

106//Newt

@Heartcakesaj here is your imagine! I hope you like it❤️

What if today is the last day on earth for you?

You begin the day like any other day. You rinse your face with some water and head down to grab some porridge. You greet a few of your friends and tie your laces up before heading out into the maze with Newt. Something felt off with him today,like he had a lot on his mind. After about 20 minutes you ask him to stop as you both sit cross-legged facing each other.

"You seem different today," you declare "like there's something on your mind. You wanna talk about it? I won't tell anyone."

He shrugs "Just about this bloody place. There not new thoughts. I just don't want them to change me..." He whispers.

"How would they change you?" You whisper back. Why were you whispering? Nobody would hear the pair of you? Whispering just felt like the right thing to do. So you did.

"I don't know..." He shrugs "change me into something I'm not. Make me some kind of monster. The people we were before the maze they don't even exist anymore,these creators took care of that. I thought I didn't want to live,but I do. I want to live to find a way out of this bloody place,solve this maze. Then I get my memory back somehow and become who I was."

"What if who you were is worse than who you are now?"

"It doesn't matter. It's who I was that's important."

"I don't think you'll be who you were Newt. I don't think we'll get our memories back. I don't even think I want mine back. I think something terrible happened to the world and that's why we're here."

"No..." He mumbles "this place is not our home. There is a place for us out there somewhere and we will find it." He edges closer "Y/N we fought to be here. But we have to keep fighting."

"Newt..." Your shaky hand reaches up to touch his cheek "I don't think I can-" your cut off by the loud sound of a clank on the ground. You knew that sound. Your eyes widen in terror and you hear the noise again. You haul yourself and Newt to your feet. "Grievers. RUN!" You whisper yell. You both break into a sprint. You didn't know where you were going,you didn't know this section of the maze at all. But you tried to keep faith,not for yourself but for Newt. He had to live and you had to guide him out of this maze.

You knew

Newt was going to live.

So you had to die.

You mind ran as your body did the same. You didn't want to die,you really didn't. You wanted the same things as Newt did. But he wanted them more. He deserved them more. Newt deserved to be happy. If one of you was going to make it it had to be him at all costs. You wouldn't think that way for everyone- Newt was kid,loyal,strong and brave. He had what it took to beat this world. He was your friend and you couldn't let him down. If the Griever found you,it could distract it and let Newt escape.

"Newt slow down!" You cry "I have a plan. We can stop the Griever."

"What are you bloody talking about?" He pants.

"I let it... Kill me. You run."

"No Y/N!' He yells "I'll tell you what we're gonna do! We're both going to make it. You ain't dying for me. We will make it out of here and do a bloody good job of not dying. You hear me!?"

You shake your head and place your hands on his shoulder. You smile and press a quick kiss to his lips. "Go..." You whisper,still smiling. "It's not your time. There's gotta be a point to it,right? They need you." You kiss him once more before sprinting away in the Grievers direction. Ready. Ready to face it...

Newt watched in pure terror and shock as Y/N ran in the Grievers direction. He couldn't catch her,especially with his limp. He let out a small cry and turned back and ran for a while. He ran until he could drown out the Griever's roars and Y/N's cries. He reached the maze entrance and collapsed on the grass. A few Gladers ran to him and he shoved them off as he broke down into tears.

"What happened!?" Alby demands.

"Y/N..." Newt whispers her name. All he felt was guilt "she saved me."

Earlier that morning Newt ran a hand through his messy blonde blocks before heading down to meet Minho. He felt happy today,strange he knew. But he didn't question it. Too distracted by his new thoughts,he didn't see Y/N who didn't she him either. He knocked into her and let out a nervous laugh.

"Oh," he blushed "Y/N I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I mean... I didn't see you. Shuck I'm sorry."

She let out a kind laugh and patted Newt shoulder. "Newt. Don't ever be sorry."
