Your POV

"Is that....?" I started to ask but I couldn't finish it. Honestly I wasn't sure what happened to Janson but just the matter that he appeared directly in our path gave me a sick feeling. "No, that's impossible. Thomas said they killed him.. that he was killed by two cranks," Gally answered. "Well he's here. I mean... Thomas also thought he killed Newt," I looked over to Newt as I said it but he was looking down. I gently placed my hand over his. "Well just kill him and get on with it," Seph said. I looked back to where Janson was but he wasn't there anymore. I pulled out my walkie-talkie to ask Thomas about it but his voice came through first. "He's headed towards you look out!" Just then, crank-Janson yanked my door open and dragged me out of the car. I tried to fight but he was strong. "GET OFF ME!" I screamed, but he had me pinned on the grown. He let out an inhuman scream and pulled back his fist. That was the last thing I saw before everything went black.

TIME SKIP
I woke up in a room. Pieces of the ceiling were missing and the walls look torn down. The whole place looked like a dump. I turned my head to the left and saw Newt rummaging through a bag. My bag. He pulled out some things slowly and stared at them. I knew what they were. They were my pictures of him and I. "That's my bag," I spoke up and he bolted around. "Sorry, I just.... whats this?" he held up a picture of him kissing my cheek. I smiled sadly and took the picture from his hands, grazing my thumb over it lightly. "It was before the maze, and before I escaped WCKD. We were inseparable.... until we were separated," I explained. "But were we together?" he asked. I furrowed my eyebrows while staring at the picture. "Honestly... I don't know what we were. We didn't have much time to be anything officially, but I know I had the hugest crush on you," I chuckled gently while handing him the picture. He laid it back in my back then turned to me. "So that's why you wanted to save me," he stated, amused. I rolled my eyes playfully and decided to change the subject. "What happened to me?" I asked and looked around at the torn down room. "That bloody crank beat you up pretty bad. Knocked you out then continued to scratch and punch your face. If it weren't for Gally you might've been dead," he explained. I nodded slowly. "How bad do I look?" I asked and he smiled gently, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "Still as beautiful as you always are," he answered and I blushed lightly. "We should get going," I said and stood up, losing my balance but quickly regaining it with Newt's help.
We walked into another room where everyone else was. "Look who's up," Newt said, drawing everyone's attention to me. I walked over to Gally and hugged him. "Woah, what's that for?" he chuckled. "Newt told me you saved me. Thank you," I answered and he smiling down at me, giving me a nod as if to say "you're welcome". I was really starting to feel more comfortable around these people.

We decided to stay inside this worn down building for the night instead of traveling to the boat at night. Everyone was asleep, but I just couldn't fall asleep. Too many thoughts rushing through my brain at once. "Can't sleep either?" It was Thomas. I looked over to him and nodded slightly. "Thank you... for everything," Thomas said which surprised me. "You're welcome, but I'm glad I came," I responded and he smiling gently at me. "You loved him huh," he questioned, nodding towards Newt who was sound asleep beside me. I gently ran my fingers through his soft, golden hair. "I did... I do," I responded and he nodded in response. "Take care of him," he said before laying back down and falling asleep. I kissed the top of Newt's head before falling asleep as well.

I woke up with Newt's hand in mine. I looked over to him and he was awake. I cleared my throat and he jumped slightly. "Sorry..." he mumbled and let go of my hand. I sat up and looked at him in the eyes. "You're really.... weird, you know that?" I asked with a smile and he chuckled. I missed his smile. It always makes the worst times better.
