The Maze Runner imagines

123//Newt

@Meidwalover1 welcome to your imagine!! :)

I did use an extract from my old imagine btw guys so don't worry it's not stolen :)

You lay on a dirty mattress,legs curled up to your chin... Just waiting for the sweet release of death. You were a Crank,you knew your fate was sealed. Night falls and you make your way up the broken steps and to the balcony,placing your hands on the dirty railing as you watched the stars shine in the night sky like diamonds. You just longed to love the stars you lived under because they were the only things that ever stayed the same.

"Ain't it bloody weird,how we look up at the same stars and see such different things?" You turn around to see a blonde boy,pale face but eyes that still shone. "Shit,sorry. Did you want to be alone?"

"I want the opposite of that," you say as he stands beside you,looking up where you're looking. "So... Crank?"

"Yeah. A bloody crank. I never thought I'd be alive at this buggin' point anyway. Names Newt," he holds out his hand.

You shake it with a weak smile- "Y/N."

"My friends are looking for me," he explains "they think there's a life to live out there,what kind of a life? This is our extinction event."

"There is a place for us out there somewhere... It's just a shame we'll never see it. Just the same old boring stars." You sit yourself on the railing. He climbs up wincing,you take his hand and help him up. Your arm stays on his shoulder as you notice it was his leg holding him back;you decide not to ask. Everyday that you both were was already dead anyway.

"I wish I met you before the world ended. You seem cool Newt. Where were you,before this?"

"I was in the trapped in the maze. We called it the Glade,with my friends."

"How do you get out of it?"

"Tommy found a way. Just like he always does. But now... now I'll never get to tell Tommy I'm was happy he was happy."

"Were you happy?"

"I was."

You sigh and close your eyes for a few seconds. "you wanna know where I was before all this?" You ask and he nods in response "I was just drifting around trying to live,to survive. I was nobody. Nothing. Some scared girl who lost everything. I can't remember a normal,happy life but I still miss it. "

"That's how it's supposed to be,people like you deserve that."

"I wish I could just change. You're made for the way things are now."

"I'm just used to this,things being ugly. But... you're not."

"I'll be gone soon Newt."

"Stop."

"I will. You're gonna be the last man standing... you are. You're gonna miss me so bad when I'm gone."

"I haven't lived. We haven't lived like teenagers should."

You raise your brow- "What do you mean?"

"I've never... been to a party,danced,loved... I've never kissed someone."

"I... Can change that," you whisper. "Make me immortal with a kiss."

He shuffles closer to you,letting out a shaky breath as he places his warm hand on your cold cheek. He gulps and rests his head on yours- "There's still good people,ain't there?"

"I don't think the good ones survive..." You whisper as he presses his lips to yours...

You reach out to touch his cheek,tracing the veins gently with your finger. Kissing him felt like the only technique which could bring some sort of humanity back into you. He made you want to live even though odds were you probably wouldn't make it to next week. That was the good part though... There were no lies between the pair of you. You both had accepted your Crank-fate.

"Newt!" The door bangs open in the distance. You cling to the rail and Newt for balance and reassurance "Newt are you in here?"

"Tommy?" Newt takes his hand away from yours and runs in the direction of the voice. You let out a shaky exhale and follow slowly after. You stand from a distance and watch Newt embrace with a slightly smaller boy with pale skin and brown hair.

"What are you bloody doing here?" Newt says breathlessly.

"I came for you," the brunette boy whispers softly as he rubs at Newt's shoulder. He raise a brow as he sees you staring "is she your friend?"

Newt nods,giving you a small glance "This is Y/N. Y/N this is Thomas."

You stumble to him and hold out your hand,the veins bursting out the skin. Thomas shakes it like it was nothing. "Hi..." You whisper. Thomas seemed to be very careful around you;he had probably been through too much to trust new people anymore. Newt seemed to have trouble walking,starting to cough and stumble. Concern fills Thomas' face as he catches a falling Newt.

"Help me carry him." Thomas barks at you. You scurry over and take in Newt's face,it had got much worse in just a few minutes. You sling his arm over your shoulder and clutch it tight,you just reminded him to hold out as you and Thomas carried him to a small peaceful area away from the Crank Palace. You lay Newt down as he coughed horribly as you watch the pain in Thomas' eyes;you tried to imagine how many people he had lost in this cruel world.

You watch Thomas' expression in fear "why are you helping us?" You whisper.

"I owe him." He mumbles "it's too far for him to head back now. We just need to keep him alive until the others come with the serum. Will you help me?"

You nod "of course."

"Okay..." He hands you a set of keys "I need you to drive to the gate..." He points to the distance "go East okay,keep going until you see it. My friends will be there eventually. Once they are you bring them back here and we save him. You understand?"

"I understand." You clutch the keys and walk over to Newt, you lean down and tuck a strand of his wet hair back "how are you feeling?"

He sniffs "terrible." He manages a smile and you do too but it feels like the biggest lie you've ever told. "You look beautiful though."

You blush and take his hand "just... Hold on a little longer? Your friends are coming... You are gonna be fine."

He nods "thank you Y/N. Thank you."

You nod back and grip his hand tightly one last time before dashing to the car. You start up the engine and set off full force,not looking back. You follow Thomas' instructions and find the large gate he mentioned and you allowed yourself to smile as the air around you got hot and frantic. You open the car window and let out large exhales of air as you cough like Newt did,it felt like your entire body was on fire. It was unbearable. You wipe your lips of the black liquid and rest your head back on the headrest of the seat. You squeeze your eyes shut and start to cry as you yank up your sleeves,looking at your infection.

"Newt?" You sobbed,wanting him to be by your side. "Newt... Please..." You vomit up the gunk into your lap as the tears stream down your face "Newt... Please... Please..." You grip onto the steering wheel for strength to pull through. "Newt... I don't.. Wanna go... I don't wanna go... Please... I don't wanna go..." You grit your teeth and scream out weakly in pain as you see the gun resting on the seat beside you. Without hesitation as the voices inside your head were screaming,you grab the gun and position it to your chin.

"Goodnight love," you whisper to Newt (the only good person you had ever known).

And with your heart falling into a black abyss,you pulled the trigger.
