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

Part 20

Newt (This is the same as Part 19 but from Newts point of view)

I headed to Frypan and left the plates there. Then I went to find Alby. He was standing and talking with Winston. Just as I approached, Winston left.

"Good morning, Newt," Alby said.

"Morning," I said, "Minho said you were asking for me."

"Well, yeah. There was a fight between Winston and Brandon. I don't know the reason but I want you to find out and decide what to do with them."

"Oh, okay," I said and then Alby left.

It didn't take a long time for me to find out everything. They were very open about it and it seemed like they weren't angry at one another anymore so I didn't punish them.

After I had done this, I had nothing else to do so I decided to help the Track-hoes. That was usually my job here if I hadn't got any 'The Second in command' job to do.

So that was basically what I did all day - worked as a track-hoe. It was very tiring. I ate lunch with Chuck, Alby, and some other dudes. Then worked again.

At the end of the day, I was very tired and sweaty throughout. I quickly made it to the showers. There were a lot of boys there so I had to wait in some kind of line. I laughed as I remembered the first time Elle had gone to the shower and I had accidentally come into her cabin. It was so awkward.

After the showers, I quickly made it to the Frypan and ate some dinner. I would have eaten together with Elle but I guessed that Jeff or Clint would have already fed her.

Just as I had eaten I went to Elle. I opened the door to her room and in front of me, I saw Minho. It confused me a lot.

"Hi..." I said and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm already going," Minho said, "see you two later."

Elle looked nervous.

Something about this made it suspicious. Were they something more than friends? Maybe they had a secret relationship? But no... Minho would never do that, would he?

"So what were you two doing?" I asked, clearly wanting to know the answer and at the same moment being afraid of it.

"Oh, nothing, just talking," she said nervously. Something made me think she was lying.

"About what?" I asked.

"Nothing," she said very quickly, "nothing special. We were talking about... Nothing."

She was definitely hiding something from me.

"Elle, are you hiding something?" I asked but she kept staring at me blankly.

I waited for a moment for her to react but she didn't.

"Hey, Elle, are you listening to me?" I asked her a little bit louder than before.

"Yeah, yeah, I... Um... Yeah," she finally replied.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm totally fine," she said without any sarcasm and then blushed.

It quite looked like I was annoying her.

"Ugh..." I groaned. It wasn't meant to come out aloud but it did.

"I guess I need to go," I said and turned to go away.

But she suddenly almost yelled. "No."

That shocked me. Just some moments ago it looked like I'm annoying the hell out of her but now she wanted me to stay.

I looked at her confused. What? 

"You don't need to go, you can stay," she said shyly. 

  "Okay, so what do you want us to do?" I asked being slightly curious about what's going on in her mind and sat down next to her.

 "Well, um... Talk, we can talk, like... You know? Get to know each other and yeah. I don't know."  

 I liked the idea of spending time with her so I went for that.

"Okay," I said and we started talking.

We talked for a couple of hours. I actually find out some new things about her. Like, for example, she's more insecure about everything than she usually acts.

She tried to mention my limp from time to times but I didn't want to talk about it. I didn't want her to know I was once broken. I just didn't want her to know yet.

 It was already really late and we were still talking. We laid on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

"How do you think? What's the world out of the Maze?" she asked.

"I don't know," I said," but it doesn't really matter right now. What matters now is what we have here," I looked at her. I hadn't noticed before that she was looking at me.  "...and I have you," I said and smiled at her.

I saw her trying to hold her smile but it appeared anyway. It was a huge, full-of-happiness, true smile. I suddenly wanted her closer to me so I pulled her closer. She rested her head on my shoulder and I gave her a kiss on her forehead. Just like I had done the evening before. 

I could still see the smile on her face and it was actually the best thing ever. Seeing her being happy just made me even happier. 

After a few moments, her breathing stabilized and I think she fell asleep. I put my other hand around her so I was hugging her. It was such a good feeling. 

Soon after, I fell asleep myself.
