Girl In The Glade/ Newt fanfiction (The Maze Runner)

Part 12

I woke up from the smell of eggs and bacon. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Newt standing in front of me with a plate. 

I slowly sat up and waited for my eyes to adjust to the light. I looked around and at first, I didn't understand where I am. Soon after, I realised I was in Newts room.

"Morning, Elle," he said with a smile on his face.

"Morning," I said quite confused. "What happened?"

"Well... we were walking and then..."

"Yeah, yeah, I remember us walking, what happened in your room?" I cut him off. 

"I gave you my jacket and then searched for a one for myself and you laid down and fell asleep."

"Oh... I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to. It was just... It was so warm here and the bed was so soft and... and..." I started apologizing.

"Don't worry, Elle. It's okay," he said kindly and handed me the plate.

I took it and took a mouthful of food.

"What time is it? Did I miss anything?" I asked little bit worried.

"Well, the breakfast has almost ended already so I decided to bring some food to my room."

"Why didn't you just wake me up?" I asked and took another mouthful of food.

"I couldn't..." he said smiling. "I just couldn't wake you up. You were so peaceful and you looked really cute." 

I blushed and took another mouthful of food so I wouldn't need to say anything. He was looking at me while I ate but I acted like I didn't see that.

"Where did you sleep tonight? " I asked to end a silence between us and actually being really concerned about that.

"I slept in your hammock. I had actually forgotten how great it is to sleep outside in the fresh air," he said smiling.

"I'm sorry that you had to sleep there. I really hadn't ment to fall asleep. I just..." I started apologizing again.

"Elle, stop! I already said that I enjoyed sleeping out there." 

"But you... I..."

"Shhh..." he said putting his finger to my mouth.

We were very close right now. Our faces only a few inches away from one another. I looked into his pretty brown eyes and he looked into mine. We leaned in a little bit more. My heart started racing really fast. Was it really going to happen? Are we going to kiss? A million thoughts an feelings came to my mind. 

But then suddenly Alby came in the room. I and Newt both quickly moved away from one another. I blushed and felt really awkward. 

"Newt, we are waiting for you for about 10 minutes already. Are you coming?" Alby said.

"Oh, I totally forgot," he said running his hand through his hair. "Yeah, I'm coming." Then he turned to me and said, "Sorry, Elle, but I need to go."

"Where are you going?"

"We're having a Gathering to decide which job you'll have."

"Oh, okay..."I said slightly disappointed.

"I'll catch up with you later," he said and he and Alby both left the room.

I sat on his bed quite not understanding what had just happened. At one moment, I and Newt are ALMOST kissing and at the next, he has gone away with Alby. I was like that for a moment all kind of feelings forming in me.

Hey, guys! Sorry, but this chapter was quite short. I just didn't have a lot of time to write. I hope you liked it. Love Y'all. Bye.
