The Glade Girl (Maze Runner Fanfic)

Chapter 14: The Last One, Ever (and Newtie)

NO! NO! NOOO! I wake up with a start. I look around, finding myself in a room, a normal bedroom. This is a dream. By the look of me, I'm only four. Suddenly, my door bursts open, and several armed guards pick me up and shove me to the floor in front of what looks like my parents. My mom is screaming, wailing for them to go away and leave me alone. One guard pulls out a pistol and shoots her in the head. My dad doesn't even flinch. "If you give us the girl, you get a lifetime supply of the Bliss," One guard says, bringing out a syringe with a strange liquid in it. My dad nods, saying, "I don't care for her. Take her. Now gimme!" The guard brings the syringe up and stabs my dad with it. He smiles. "Move out! Let's go!"

I wake up with a gasp, realizing it's daytime already. I decide to go to the Glade, after all, I do still have to try out for the Medjacks, the baggers, the cooks, and the runners. I walk out of the Deadheads and immediately get tackled by Thomas. "OhmagoshIthoughyouweregoneand-" I cut Thomas off by hugging him back. "Sorry," I say. I notice we're on top of each other. I roll off of him, my face getting red. He stands up and looks at me. "I heard about what Newt said." I nod, recalling yesterday's insult. "He broke up with Taylor." I look at him surprised. "What? Who's Taylor?" "The girl, ya know. That was with Newt." I nod. "Hey, I was thinking, do yo-" Thomas is cut off by a screeching alarm ripping through the air. "What the heck is that?!" I yell. 

Thomas pulls me over to the Glade's box. The alarm stops with a loud thunk, signaling the box's arrival. I jump down, to greet the Greenie. My expression turns to shock. "It's a girl! Another girl! And she looks dead. Wait, she's breathing. She's got something in her hand." I pick the paper out of her clutch, reading it aloud, "She's the last one. Ever." All the boys gathered around the box start talking about it. "Is the girl hot?" "I call dibs!" I groan. "Clint! Can you get this girl help please?" The girl wakes up, breathing heavily, and says, "Thomas! Billie!" She collapses once again. The boys erupt into chatter once again. "Okay, shut your mouths!" I turn around to see Alby. "Clint! Get her some help! The lot of you, get back to work! Good that?" I walk to Newt since he needs to tell me what job I'm doing today. Newt points me to Clint, who was getting the girl on a stretcher. "Medjacks today, Bee. Just follow Clint. I'm bloody sorry 'bout what I said, alright?" I nod, frowning. "You still shouldn't have said it." With that, I walk off to help Clint. 

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful since the girl was asleep. A couple slicers had to come in, but other than that, nothing really happened. I help Clint clean up, and go to dinner. I grab some food and sit next to Tommy. Newt comes over, takes one look at me, and then sits down, right next to me. "Look Newt, I know what you're gonna say. I ju-" I'm cut off by lips crashing into mine. Newt is kissing me! I pull away quickly, shocked about what just happened. Newt looks away, sad. "I'm sorry Bee, I just thought that was what you wanted. I'm so-" I cut him off by kissing him. Through the kiss, I say, "I was just shocked." We pull apart and are greeted by dozens of boys and girls staring at us. My cheeks immediately flush pink. Newt smiles, and Tommy smiles, patting me on the back. Minho starts laughing. "It's about shucking time you guys did that!" Minho yells, and some gladers start cheering. I smile, but it fades when I see Taylor behind me. "How dare you! That's my boyfriend, ya know!" She screams in my face. I look surprised, and say, "What? I thought you broke up! Oh, I'm so so sor-" I get cut off by a sharp stinging on my cheek, which turns to burning pain immediately. She slapped me! "Hey! What the shuck do you think you're doing?! We broke up, Taylor. You were using me! You have no right to slap Billie!" Newt yells at her. Taylor shoves her lips into his, and he shoves her away. "You disgust me!" Newt says to her. Taylor turns to me, and says, "You! You were the one who caused this breakup!" She tackles me, punching me over and over. We stand up, and she punches me hard, causing my head to snap to the left. I stay looking to the left for a couple seconds and then fling my fist straight back into her cheek. I look at her and see she is out cold. I touch my face, and my lip is bleeding out, along with my tongue. I spit blood on the floor and look up. Many Gladers and members of the Heart are looking at me and Taylor. Finally, Harriet speaks up. "How dare Taylor do something like this! I understand why you punched her, you were defending yourself." Harriet called two girls to take Taylor to their medical hut. Clint checks on me and concludes there's nothing super bad, just cuts and bruises. Newt hugs me, and Thomas and Minho join in. "Well, she was a bi-" "MINHO! LANGUAGE!" Newt cuts Minho off, censoring him. I smile at Newt's Mother like behavior. "Ya know, we could totally play house with us four. Newt would be the Glade Mom, Minho would be the Glade Dad, Thomas would be the older brother, and I would be the little sister," I state, thinking. We laugh. "Oh, Billie, you can have your hammock back. I hope that bloody girl doesn't show up again." I smile and nod. "Where have you been sleeping anyway?" Newt asks. I shrug, saying, "In a tree in the deadheads." I don't wanna spoil Gally's Cave. "I'll get Taylors stuff out of your area, and you grab your klunk," Newt says, walking to Homestead. 

After I move back into my hammock, I slip into the bathroom, change into a tank top and shorts. I run back to Homestead, slip into my hammock, and fall asleep.
