Your POV
I shot up from my state of staring at the ceiling in sadness when I heard a knock at the door. At least these boys have manners enough to knock, but it's the middle of the night. I opened the door to reveal a rough-looking Newt. Stray blonde hairs stuck up in random places on his head and a frown was plastered on his face. I didn't say anything, all he did was engulf me in a tight hug. I hesitantly accepted the hug and snaked my arms around him too. "I'm so sorry," he whispered into my hair. I closed my eyes shut, I wasn't going to cry but I didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry too," was all that came out of my mouth. He picked me up slowly and closed my door. Holding on to me tightly, he led me to my bed and laid me down. I reached my arms out for him which he gladly laid down in. We fell asleep with our arms wrapped around each other.

The Next Morning
"Wake up, slint-heads," Mihno said and tossed other clothes at us. Newt sat up slowly and yawned before getting up and walking out. Not even a good morning?
I got up and changed into the clothes Mihno tossed to me. We must've slept too late. I'll admit, sleeping in his arms was very comfortable.
I had expected another day of building, but was greeted by Mihno stretching to run for the day. He tossed me some sneakers and jogged towards the doors. I slipped them on, tying them tight before walking to the doors myself. Before I arrived, Newt grabbed my arms. "Be careful out there," he whispered in my ear then kissed it gently before walking away. I smiled to myself as I made my way beside Mihno. I saw a smirk on his face and rolled my eyes playfully. "Ready?" he asked as the doors began to open. "Ready as I'll ever be," I said as we ran in.
It had been awful quiet. Didn't seem so dangerous anymore. We slowed to a walk for lunch. I sat against the wall and pulled my sandwich and water out of my backpack. Mihno slowly slid down beside me as he shoved half of his sandwich in his mouth. I laughed as I bit into mine. "So," he started, "what's up with you and the Brit?" he asked and raised his eyebrows. I shook my head and shrugged. "Nothing," I lied. He scoffed and playfully rolled his eyes. "You're a bad liar," he said and I smiled. "I don't know honestly," I said and he nodded slowly.
After lunch, we continued running, not seeming to find anything new. We decided it was time to go back considering the doors would be closing soon. As we were running, we ran into Thomas. "What are you doing out here?" I asked curiously. He looked out of breath. "It's.. Newt," he said breathlessly. I didn't even listen to what was coming out of his mouth next. I sprinted as fast as I could to the Glade. "Newt! .. Newt!" I called out once I got there. "He's in the medjack hut!" Gally responded to my callings. I ran as fast as I could over there, pushing the door open quickly. I looked at a startled Ossian and Frypan. Newt was laying on the bed unconscious. I ran to his side and got on my knees. I ran my fingers through his hair. "I'm here, it's okay," I whispered to him. I looked over to Ossian and Fry. "What happened to him?" I asked and they both looked at each other. Frypan answered, looking utterly grossed out, "He started throwing up this thick, black liquid."
