The Girl In The Maze

Maxx

What was I gonna do? I couldn't just walk up to everyone and say,"Hey guys I got bit by Ben, guess I'm infected now". I could tell Newt. That was about the only person I could trust to tell. But what if he gets mad or something. Maybe I should tell Thomas. He's never been mean to me and we've talked a little bit but not much. And I don't think he would tell Newt. I know I should tell him, but if I told him he would flip.

I got out of bed and walked out of the homestead and made my way towards Thomas. I passed by the garden's, hoping that Newt wouldn't see me. "Hey love, why aren't you in bed", guess I was wrong. "I'm feeling better, I'm just walking around", lies, I thought. "Does anywhere hurt?", I shook my head. "Let me know if you feel tired, ok?", I nodded again, hoping that he didn't see the denial in my eyes. He walked back to the garden's and continued his work. I sighed in relief and continued on finding Thomas.

I finally found Thomas in the forrest. It took me forever! "Hey Tom", I said. I must have scared him cause he jumped a little. "Oh it's just you, Maxx. What's up?", he asked me. I came over to him and grabbed his forearm. I pulled him further back into the forest so no one would here us."Maxx? What's goin' on?", he asked confused. I sighed, thinking about what to say. "Um, so you know about what happened with me and Ben earlier, right?", he nodded. "Well, turns out-", I lifted up my shirt so he could see,"Ben bit me.", he gasped. "Maxx! Are you ok?!? Have you told anybody else!?!", he yelled. I quickly put my hand over his mouth. "Shh! We don't want anyone to found out yet, especially Newt.", I took my hand off his mouth and he nodded. "So, what do we do?", he asked. Shuck. I didn't even think about what to do! I didn't even think I'd get this far. I shrugged my shoulders. " I guess we should tell Alby-", I started to say, but I felt light headed and started seeing black spots. I fell over but Thomas caught me. "Woah! Hold on Maxx, I'm gonna take you to Jeff and Clint, just hang on", I heard him say. He picked me up bridal style and ran to the homestead into the med-jacks.

He layed me down on the bed and I instantly felt my shrit being lifted up and they were tending to the bite. My vision started getting really bad and my breathing was heavy. I saw a figure come into the room and stab me with something. Then, my breathing stared slowing down and I could control it, and I went into a deep sleep.
~~~~~~~

I woke up and the first thing I saw was an angry Newt. Not the Newt I saw earlier  when Ben attacked me; sweet and calm. He was mad and serious. " Newt-", he cut me off. "Why didn't you tell me! Why did you tell Tommy instead of me!!", he yelled. I looked at him, eyes glossy. "I thought you would over react", I said softly. "OVER REACT! YOU THOUGHT I WOULD OVER REACT! I WOULD'VE HELPED YOU!!", he yelled at me and turned away. I couldn't help it, the tears in my eyes slipped. "Well your definitely over reacting now! I hope you're  happy!", I sobbed, getting up. He turned around and gasped when he saw my face. His face softened and he tried to come to me. I pushed him away and ran off. " Maxx!", I heard him yell. I kept running. Even though my feet hurt, I kept running.  I bumped into a few people but that didn't stop me.

I ran all the way into the forrest where the dead heads where. I looked behind me and saw a shadow. I quickly picked up a stick and used it as a weapon." Woah! It's just me Maxx-", Thomas said, raising his hands as a defense. I put the stick down and ran into his arms and cried. "Hey! Hey! What happened?", he said, putting his hands on my shoulders and pushing me back.
"N-Newt", I managed to say. He let go of my shoulders and grabbed my hand. "What are you doing?", I said. "I might have a way Newt won't  be mad at you anymore", he said. I nodded my head as a 'thank you'.

He pulled me out of the forrest and into the glade. We kept walking around while holding hands, until we saw Newt. I saw him out of the corner of my eye and saw that he was looking over here. I looked at Thomas and nodded my head. He let go of my hand and left. I turned to Newt, who was fuming with anger and jealousy. He came up to me and asked, "Why we're you holding hands with him?!", I looked at him, mouth open, shocked. "Okay, first of all: it's not your right to know why we were holding hands-", I paused." But I'm going to tell you anyways, Thomas was helping me not make you mad anymore.", I said. He looked at me. "Well it worked, but why did you still do it?!", he said, still obviously mad. "Why are you still jealous! Me and Thomas are not dating! And neither are we. Why are you jealous if we're not dating?!", I said storming off mad. I started walking away when I suddenly felt a hand on my wrist. I turned around and saw Newt. "But I want us to be. I- Maxx I really enjoy being around you. And I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I don't care what people say about you, and you shouldn't either. Maxx I love you."
