Chapter five

"I want my mommy!" You complained as you hugged your teddy bear tightly as the guard carried you to your room.
The guard stopped and opened the door. You could see other children were in there too. He put you down and murmured something and closed the door. You were scared. You backed away as the other kids began to scurry toward you.

"Hi!" A blonde hair guy came toward you slowly. "I'm Newt! What's yours?"
You whispered, clutching your teddy bear tightly, "Y/n."

The other kids started to introduce themselves and you go to know them better. Click. Everybody hurried into a line and you did what the others did. The guard opened the door and started to count each student off.

"Twenty-eight, twenty-nine.." He paused.
"Where is thirty?"
Everybody looked at me as I freezed. My breath got faster and I could feel tears escaping my eyes.

"I SAID WHERE JS THRITY?" He roared as he grabbed me by the hair and dragged me behind this asian kid. "Shut it!" He barked.

I sniffed and began to hiccup and he started to interrogate me, but I didn't answer.

"Didn't your parents tell you to answer when someone asks you a question?" He yelled.

I cried out, "I want my mommy!"

"Your mommy is dead. You hear me?! Dead. If I hear you--"

"She's new, so don't go to hard on her!" Someone squeaked.

It was Newt. He was the one who said it. The guard took him by the ear and mumbled, "You piece of shit."

What you saw next was horrifying. The guards started kicking him and beating him up. Newt put his hands over his head and scrunched up into a ball to make himself a smaller target. Tears were streaming down your rosy cheeks as you kicked the guards to stop. They didn't. You wailed out as you continued to kick and punch the guard. They finally stopped and left the room.

"It's okay, Y/n." Newt whispered as he bought you into a hug. "Everything is gonna be okay."

Your eyes fluttered open. You saw his chest slowly rising and his face looked so peaceful. Your hand gently touched his face and you could swear, you could have stayed in that moment forever. The sun began to rise as you saw him shifting, bringing you closer to him. You rest your head on his chest. You could hear his heart beating. His arms snaked around your waist as his whispered, "When did you wake up?"

"A few minutes ago." You replied.

He slowly opened his eyes. Your eyes always happened to get lost in them. Every second you guys spent together, felt like heaven. You felt like home whenever you were with him. His hand gently cupped your face and mumbled, "You made me bloody worry when you fainted."

"Sorry. I didn't know I was going to faint."

"You didn't drink your water for shucking 12 hours. Of course, you're going to faint."

"I just couldn't forget abo-"

"It's not your fault that Winston got bit." Newt paused. "I gave him the gun because it was his time to go."

"Bu-"

"I don't want to bloody hear what you got to say about Winston." Newt interrupted. "It's not your fault."

There was an awkward silence between you two. "Sorry." You both said at the same time. You let out a small laugh as Newt gave you a smile. His eyes looked at your lips as he leaned in. You began to close your eyes. Your lips almost brushed against each other. Before Newt could do anything, you heard a scream...
"GET A SHUCKING ROOM!" Minho screamed.
