The Moon. (Newt fanfic)

Chapter: 12

*Luna's POV*
*three weeks later*

Well Ben is getting out today. Just great. My stomach ached with butterflies. I guess I was just scared of what he might do. I was now terrified of being alone. Well the problem was I liked to be alone, too. I had started to push everyone away, even Newt. I couldn't help it though. I had found a great way to stop my thoughts, though. I put in my headphones in and listened to music. Music was my escape. Well music and books. The books they gave were amazing!!!

  I still ran the maze with Newt. We had now ran every inch of that stupid maze and still we had no way out, but Nick told us to keep running and mapping to make sure nothing changes. I always brought my headphones and MP3 player with me in the maze so I could listen to my music. It was very... therapeutic.

"Hey, you ready?" Someone said, bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked around to see Minho jogging up to me.

"Yeah. Sorry." I said, I looked straight ahead at the maze doors. I was waiting for them to open. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Newt.

"Oh hey, Newt. Didn't see ya th-" I was cut of by him wrapping his big arms around me and squeezing me. I returned the hug and he released.

"What was that for?" I asked. I felt my cheeks heat up.

"I wanted to thank you for being my friend and always being there for me." He said. Weird, I thought.

"Um, no problem. Are you okay?" I asked. He smiled at me, but I could tell it was fake. Deep down he was... hurt. I was about to ask him what was on his mind, but a grinding noise sounded.
  The maze doors we're opening. I put in my headphones as Newt ran through the doors, I was only a few inches away. Something was up with him today. Did I do something?

Finally after a few hours of running we both sat down to have lunch. Newt was still acting weird, but I decided to brush it off. We ate in silence and when I was halfway through with my sandwich Newt said that he was going to have a look around to make sure there was no Greivers. That wasn't unusual. So I just nodded and he ran off. It usually takes him five minutes to scout, but it took longer this time. I started counting. 5 minutes... 10 minutes... what was taking so long.

  I had now finished my sandwich and was starting to get worried. What a Greiver got to him? Oh god. With that thought I grabbed my bag and things and ran the way Newt ran. I looked down the big concrete hallways of the maze and decided to take a right. When I turned right I looked down the hallway to see if I could see Newt, but he wasn't there. So I ran further, but what I saw next was scream worthy.

  I screamed so loud that I'm sure people back in the glade heard me. There was a reason that I didn't see him as I looked straight. He was halfway to the top and was getting ready to jump.

" ISAAC NEWTON DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" I yelled, and started running as fast as I could toward him.

"IM SORRY! I HAVE TO DO THIS!" He yelled back and with that he jumped.

"NOO!" I screamed as I saw him hit the floor. I heard a bad crunching sound that made my stomach twist. I ran faster towards him. I got closer and I could see that he was breathing, but barely.

"Oh my god!" I cried as I came to his side, I fell to me knees. I sobbed heavily as I lifted his head and cradled it.

"It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay." I whispered in his ear. I checked for injuries and that's when I saw it. His ankle was... misshaped. He had something sticking out of his foot and that's when I relived... it was his bone. I had to hold back the lunch that I had in my stomach.

I checked for more injuries, but there were nothing major, well except the ankle. He may have hit his head and that's why he's knocked out. Wait... How was I gonna get him back to the glade, in time! Shuck! I looked at the sun and I could tell that it was time to get going. I tried standing with him, but his lanky body was too heavy. I was strong with my legs, but not my arms. Plus it was hard to carry him when your kinda small (well that and crying).

  Just then I heard footsteps running fast. I turned around and saw Minho running towards me. Thank god!

"What the shuck did you screa-" he didn't finish his sentence when he saw me crying and Newt.

"Holy shuck! What happened?!" He asked rushing by my side.

"H- he jumped!" I said in between sobs. I knew Minho wouldn't judge me, but I knew I needed to pull it together. Minho looked at me with a concerned face.

"look I know this is hard on you, but I need you to pull it together so we can get him and us back in time." He said gently. I took a deep breath and calmed myself. After a few seconds I had calmed down enough to help Minho.

  Minho nodded to me and counted to three. On three we lifted him and we hurried back to the glade. Newt had some serious explaining to do.
