It's a long story. (Newt x reader) [COMPLETED]

How Newt broke his leg

Newt seemed different. His usual calm and lovable character. Seemed shut off and down.

He still helped Alby run the place. Joked  around with Minho. Stole extra food from the kitchen.

He still adored Y/N.

But he seemed to be hiding. After the bonfire he left with a swift kiss on
Y/N's cheek before locking himself away until he was needed again.

The boys and girl were terribly worried. Especially when Newt failed to leave his hut. Food would be left outside his door. Beside Y/N as she leant up against it just trying to convince him to talk. To someone.

"Newt, come on you've got to eat." She would knock lightly. Keeping her voice calm. But internally she was panicking.

It took all they could not to break down the door. So they respected his privacy. The sound of sobs being the reason they knew he was alive.

Y/N would always fall asleep on the cold green grass. Waking up to the door still being closed.

"I love you." She heard Newt whisper through the door. Causing her to sigh. I'm attempts to hold back a sob.

"I love you too."

A week had passed. Y/N woke up just before the doors of the maze were due to open. When her eyes finally adjusted to the light she noticed a body standing at the door. It was too early for Minho to be up though.

"Newt?" She hit the door. Nothing.

"No." She whispered. "Newt! Don't!" She saw the doors open a crack and the frame disappeared.

Minho jogged over. "Y/N what's wrong?" She didn't answer instead she sprinted towards the maze. Running after Newt. In hopes she could stop him.

"Y/N!" Minho would call but she didn't listen. She didn't care about what dangerous creatures were beyond them walls were. All she knew was that Newt was behind them.

She turned multiple corners. Just hoping that luck was in her favour and she was headed in the right direction.

"Newt!?" She slowed down a bit. Catching her breathe as she turned another corner. She was beginning to question Minho's ability.

That's when she heard it. Groans of frustration echoing through the cold grey and lifeless corridors.

"Newt?" She turned the final corner and saw the blonde boy struggling to climb the vines scattering the walls.

"What are you doing?" She called. Newt stopped and looked at her. His red puffy eyes staring into her wide Y/E/C. "Newt. You could hurt yourself."

"You're supposed to be asleep." He stated. Ignoring her previous concern.

"I can say the same about you." She threw back. Walking towards him.

"I'm sorry Y/N turn back and go back to the Glade. I don't want you to see this." He ordered. Continuing to climb the vines.

"What do you mean? Newt stop!" She yelled furiously.

"I've lost hope. Look me in the eyes and tell me you believe we will ever get out of this maze!" He yelled back from halfway up the wall.

Y/N paused. Yes she had her doubts but all her faith was in Minho that he'll find a way out and help them. "You've lost hope in your best friend?" She asked.

"No! There's just something missing. Doesn't it bother you that we don't know what's outside those walls. Who our families are?"

"No. Because our family are back there asleep and when they wake up. You're going to be gone. So please just get down and come back to the Glade and talk about this." Y/N's eyes began to fill with tears.

"Y/N don't do this to me. Please." Newt followed her actions. "Just let me leave." He whispered.

"No!" Y/N whipped her eyes and walked towards the wall, gripping the vines and beginning to climb them.

"What are you doing?"

"If you're going to leave. Then so am I." She stated. Trying to convince him to stay.

"Don't be stupid. Get down. It's not safe."

But Y/N didn't listen. She continued to climb despite Newts continues orders.

When she reached the same height on the wall she looked at Newt and sighed. "Now, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Y/N please I want you to get out of here. Please get down." But Y/N shook her head. Her hair blowing back as she did so.

"Fine. I'll get down." Newt never loved Y/N more in that moment. When he realised how much he was loved in return that she was willing to risk her life.

"Good. When we get back to the Glade I'm going to never let you out of my sight again." She sighed in relief that Newt wasn't going to jump.

Newt moved his foot in attempts to climb down but his leg got caught and he lost his balance. Falling backwards.

"No!" Y/N reached forward trying to grab his hand. But she missed. Her other hand letting go of the vine and she fell.

Both fell. Everything slowed as they did. Preparing for the impact that was coming their way.

Newt opened his eyes when he didn't meet the ground. Instead everything was upside down and his leg was in agony as it was knotted in the vines.

He looked around. Hoping Y/N was just as lucky.

"Newt?" He heard her strained voice and his head whipped round.

There she was lying on the ground. Blood coming from her head and nose.

"Oh god no. Y/N? Can you move?" He yelled trying to grasp at his leg to get it free.

"Newt don't do that. You'll fall and it'll be ten times worse." She breathed lightly. Newt failed to listen through as he tried to free himself.

"No Y/N please come on we're were going back to the Glade come on you can't leave me." He yelled. "God this is all my fault." He whispered.

"No! This is not your fault, ok? I'm dying and there's nothing we can do about it." Y/N assured him.

Everything was becoming blurred. Her words were slurred and Newts voice seemed to be drifting further and further.

"Newt?" Newt looked up when he heard Minho's voice.

"Minho! Over here! Y/N's hurt!" He yelled. "Hey." He turned to Y/N. "You stay with me, Minho is almost here." He continued to speak but she seems to become less aware of his voice with each syllable.

"Oh god." Minho turned the corner to witness the most heart wrenching scene. His two friends helpless. One barely alive. The other unable to move.

"Minho. You need to pick her up. Take her back to the Glade. Help her." Newt yelled as Minho reached down to touch her neck. Her pulse barely noticeable.

"Hey." Her soft voice broke through his yells. Minho turned to look at her. Tears falling fast. "Make sure he gets out of here okay?"

"I can't take both of you." Minho mumbled. Y/N nodded.

"I know. Take him. He can be saved. Me? Not so much." She smiled. Minho nodded reluctantly and stood walking over to Newt untying his leg. And helping him of the wall.

"Hey? What are you doing? No Minho leave me! Take her! Save her!" Newt protested as Minho tossed him over his shoulder. Both made eye contact with Y/N.

"I love you both." She smiled before her eyes finally closed. All pain she was feeling in that moment vanishing along with the life in her eyes.

"No!" Newt beat against Minho's back. But Minho didn't react. He continued towards the maze doors.

His tears drying on his cheeks as the image was permanently printed in his mind.
