Injured Feet & Rickety Hearts {Book 1 Completed}

//Chapter 47// - Recap

The rest of the day had been great, like my whole world had finally come together. A puzzle piece put together after what seemed like months. Lots of things had been going on. It was hard to think about a time in the glade that was normal.

Though Newt seemed to be the most normal of them all.

I know I couldn't remember anything from my past, but I have never been in love with someone like this. Newt has become my whole world now. I don't know if I could ever live without him.

We had sat together for dinner that night, I had talked with chuck for the longest time before Newt had showed up, taking over my time shortly after. Though I would never complain. Newt was something else, something worth fighting for. Someone who thought I was worth something too. I loved him.

My dear brother Minho had been with Thomas during dinner, telling him about what was going to happen tomorrow. Me and Minho were so close now, not like much had changed, but after the Maze incident Minho has been really close with me. It was good, I liked having him close like that.

Thomas was still acting strange, even after the punishment, it was weird. He was... excited to be a runner now. It never seemed like that before, but that's what it was like with me too. Thomas started off not wanting to be one, now he's happy. Like me. I didn't want to be a runner, look where I ended up.

Alby was much better than yesterday, he still seemed a little blank, like nothing was really registering in that mind of his. But I guess the changing can do that to people. I was happy he was ok, though I still kind of hated him.

Everything seemed to relax a little, only a little. Enough for me to stop and relax. This is when not having memory from the past is bad. I only remember a little, That I had an injury, that I walked on the balls of my feet form an injury in my past... And that I had a sister who died. Relaxing and thinking made me want to remember.

But I know now that I don't want to remember, with Newt comforting me I have come to terms with that. That's why I found Newt so special to me, he made everything go away.

No matter the problem in the Glade, Newt always managed to make the place seem brighter. The Girl that came up through the box was still sleeping, yet Newt's blissful distractions have been enough to stop me from even thinking about her.

But that's not the only problem, because this freak girl came up Newt seems to think that Wicked won't send up supplies, we would starve if were not careful. On top of that Gally had run out into the maze, Newt had been convinced the shank would come crawling back.

But all of that passed me by with Newt's magic.

I had a family, Newt, my brother and my friend Bark. My life seemed perfect in this time. It made everything feel much better, rather than running around screaming like a... Flaminho. He doesn't know about that by the way.

I'm worried that now that we've had a good patch that everything will go bad again. I mean, when I was good, and life seemed perfect, I went crazy, I had a mental lapse and lost control of my mind. Now everything was good again, I was just worried I guess.

Newt rubbed the small of my back as we walked out of the kitchen, the intention of heading towards the homestead for bed. I wasn't as tired as I used to be, but I think that may be because I wasn't a runner anymore, or that I now will look forward to me and Newt's night time walks.

Except tonight I wanted to run. I was in a playful mood.

"ya kidding right?"

Newt said raising a brow at me and I smirked, nodding my head. He just shook his head. Clearly, he didn't want to have some fun, I pouted childishly making him look at me in an attracted way.
