The Moon. (Newt fanfic)

Chapter: 20

Newt and I had been sitting on the same log for over 15 minuets. I had gotten a compliment from basically everyone, already, but as people talked around me I was zoned out and thinking about Gally and how it was my fault that he was going through this. I was so stupid running out there. We have rules and I didn't follow them.

I was shaken out of my thoughts by someone. I looked and saw Nick.

"Hey I need to talk to you." He said, sternly. I looked at Newt to make sure he was okay sitting there, he just nodded. I got up and followed Nick. We had a silent walk and I was about to ask where we were going, but he stopped at the deadheads. I looked around at some of the head stones. There were only three of them, Thank goodness. I was never close to any of them, but it still hurt.

Nick turned around and looked at me. "So....-"

"Look I'm sorry and I know what I did was wrong, but I wasn't in my right mind, I'm so sorry. And if I have to be put in the slammer then I will." I said, quickly.

"I didn't bring you over here because of that, I think your brother being stung is enough punishment. I brought you here-" He was cut off by a scream. It was coming from the woods. Nick and I both sprinted to where the scream came from.

  We were halfway through the woods, when we saw someone laying there, his clothes stained with blood. We stopped and looked at who it was. It was...... Gally. 'How the shuck did he get here?!' In his stomach was a knife sticking out. I rushed down and inspected it all. I heard a few other gladers coming our way, but I ignored them all.

  I checked his pulse and it was extremely slow. I took of his shirt and saw that the knife was a few inches away from his greiver sting. I slowly and gently pulled the knife out. Gally screamed a bit and as I was pulling it out my stomach was turning and I had to resist the urge to throw up. When the knife was out I looked around frantically for something to stop the bleeding.

  Most of the gladers were circled around me. I could see someone holding up Newt. He gave me a small smile. And I could hear Clint and Jeff coming with a makeshift stretcher, but if I waited any longer he would die. I needed something to slow the bleeding down. I looked around and saw that Minho a few feet away from me. He had a jean jacket. I ran over to him as quick as I could.

"Take off your jacket!" I ordered.

"What?!"

"Come on you dumb shank, take OFF your jacket! NOW" I yelled. He hesitated a bit, but finally took off his jacket. I took it from him and ran back to Gally. I held the jacket and tied it to him. Finally, Jeff and Clint came over and layed the stretcher down. I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, pulling me back. I looked up to see Nick. I got up and hugged him. I squeezed him tight as I sobbed. This wasn't Gally's fault.... this was attempted murder. Someone had stabbed him and now he might not make it through this and the changing.

My hands were covered in blood and I was getting it all over Nick. I backed up.

"Sorry." I sniffled.

"Hey it's okay. You did good, I didn't know you knew anything about being a medjack." He confessed.

I looked down at my hands and said, "I didn't know, either." I honestly didn't know that, it felt like someone else was in control, but then again I knew everything. I was so confused. I felt another hand on my should as I cried a big more. I looked to see Newt. He was now using me to stand upright, which I didn't mind. I turned towards him and wrapped him in a hug.

I cried into his shoulder, but I knew he didn't mind. Though, I was confused as of, why I was still crying. 'Oh yeah! Because my brother might die!' I hate life! I hate it here! I felt the urge to run back into the maze again, but luckily the doors weren't open. I finally pulled away from Newt. I looked down. My once beautiful dress was now covered in blood. The white was stained red and everything about it just made me want to cry harder.

It was my fault, again! 'If I hadn't left then Gally wouldn't of left or led out to his death!' I hated my self even more. I looked more, at myself and my legs, arms, hands, and dress were covered all by blood and dirt. I started to cry harder, so Newt brought me back into a hug. Most of the gladers were now going back. I decided it was time to go, too. I helped Newt back to homestead and I went and sat in a chair in Gally's medjack room.

Clint and Jeff said they had cleaned him up and that he should be fine. He had a lot of stitches and it was now going to take more time for him to heal and get back to work. They also apologized and said that if they hadn't went to go get some supplies from another room then this wouldn't of happened, but I told them that an apology wasn't necessary, it was my fault after all leaving. They said I could stay or do whatever I needed to do.

They had put stronger restraints on Gally so that he couldn't break free like the other ones. And it hurt me seeing him like this. Gally was so pale and so.... lifeless. I checked his pulse a few times to make sure he was alive, because just looking at him and his sallow breathing was enough to scare you. Newt came in with..... what were those things? Oh! They were called crutches.

"Hey! Look what came up in the box!" He said. I gave him a small smile. He came over and sat in a chair next to me. He took my hand and held it.

"Thanks."

"For what?" He asked.

"For being there for me." I thanked him. I was so grateful for Newt.

"Anytime. You've been there for me, so I definitely want to be there for you." He was so sweet. His warm and chocolate eyes gave me comfort.

"If you want to clean up I can stay here for awhile and watch him." He offered. I shook my head.

"No, I can't."

"It's no problem. I know it's hard, but Jeff and Clint are next door so if he try's to break free I can call them." He argued. I sighed.

"I guess I can take a quick shower." I gave Newt a smile and walked out. I went upstairs to my room and got some comfy clothes and headed to the showers.
————————————————————

I walked into Gally's medjack room feeling refreshed. Newt was sitting there.... listening to MY music. I went and pulled a earphone out of his ear.

"Really?! Where did you find this?!" I was kinda frustrated, but seeing him there shocked and scared was so.... cute.

"I- um, I'm-" he stammered out.

"Save it! It's fine was just messing with you." I laughed. "You should get to bed, it's late."

"Nah, I think I'll just sleep here. I don't think you should be alone right now." My heart fluttered a bit, when he said that. I sat down and put my head on his shoulder.

"Okay, then." I was so tired. The lights were already on low because of how dark it was, but as I closed my as the room seemed to get darker.

As I was falling asleep I heard Newt say, "Goodnight beautiful." And I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
