Lost

Just Friends?

The sun started to rise. I turned around so the sunlight wouldn't shine on me. Unfortunately, I fell from the branches. I thought that was it when someone caught me in their arms.
" Morin' to ya too, Greenie. Were you falling for me? " I opened my eyes slowly and saw the one who caught me was Newt.
" Moring Newt, thank you for catching me and no, I was not falling FOR you!" Newt put me slowly to the ground.
" Yeah sure." he smirked.
" So... why are you here? " I looked at him, confused.
" Oh umm... I came to wake you up, but I didn't expect this." he pointed to the branches where I slept last night, still smirking." Come on, love. We have a long day ahead of us and it's time for breakfast. "
" Fine, I'm coming." I walked with Newt to the kitchen.
After we got some sandwiches from  Frypan, we sat with Thomas and Chuck.
"Hey guys." I said.
" Hey." Newt greeted the boys.
" Moring you two, so everything's fine with you and Newt?" the question was oblivious for me, but Newt answered it for me anyway.
" Yeah, we're cool."
" So... you are dating?" that one came from Thomas.
I spouted the water out that I was drinking after he asked that. Chuck was laughing and the other Gladers looked in our direction.
" What are ya shucking lookin' at?" Newt yelled at them and they turned back to their own meals. Finally I calmed down, look surprised at Thomas.
" What?"
" Just wondering about your relationship with this shank." he pointed at Newt.
" Tommy, we are just friends. " Newt looked at me then looked back at Thomas.
Just friends? I thought. But... I want to be more than friends with Newt.
I stood up, not even bother to look back and ran into the woods. I heard someone screaming my name but I kept running. The place I hid in was the same tree from the morning. Tears started running down when I climbed up high enough and sat on the branches.
" Nikie." a familiar accent called.
" Go away." I murmured to myself.
The footsteps got closer and it stopped under the tree I was hiding in.
" Nikie ?" Newt looked up, searching.
I popped my head out. He noticed that I was crying and climbed up.
" Hey, love. What's wrong?" he asked with concern.
I don't want to be friends with you. I can't take it. I thought but answered
" I... I don't know. I'm feeling so lost right now and I don't know what to do."
He came closer, hugging me in his warm, strong arms.
" Shh... Shh... everything's going to be alright, love. Don't worry about it. I'm here for you, whenever you need it." I feel myself calming down.
" You good? " he pulled away and I almost want to pull him back.
" I... I think so."
He wiped the remaining tears away.
" I'll tell Alby that ya need time for yourself today. " I grabbed his shirt, not wanting to let go.
" No! I'm fine, Newt. I can do it. " he looked worried.
" Ya sure?" I nodded and let go of him.
" Alright, let's head back." the two of us climbed down the tree and walked in silence.
