Save Me. - Finding Newt/Newt x reader

Chapter 35

-Newt's POV-
She was crying in my arms. Her quiet sobs made me tear up too. "It's okay. I'm here. Shhh... it's okay," I whispered by her ear, rocking her back and forth very slowly. "Let's give them their moment. Come on I'll walk you guys around the town," I heard Brenda say behind me, which I was very thankful for. "I'm so sorry. For everything," she said as she pulled away from our hug. "No. No no, don't be. I understand why you did it. To help people like me," I said, stroking her face gently. "But it's not just that. When I was going around places, a guy kissed me. And I kissed back for a second but it was only because I was lonely and missed you. And I pushed him away and told him that, but I still feel guilty," she was talking really fast. "I guess I should say sorry too," I said. Her facial expression changed quickly. "For what?" she asked slowly. "Well, when you left, I didn't know what to do with myself. I started acting different, screwing around with other girls, et cetera...." I trailed off and she pushed herself away from me. "You absolute man-whore!" she yelled at me. I didn't take her seriously because I didn't think she was actually serious. "You're joking," I said with a nervous laugh and she looked even more pissed. "You kissed someone else too!" I defended. "No, he kissed me. You just couldn't keep your pants on and decided to screw around with anyone you could," she scolded. "I'm sorry, okay? Relax.." I tried to get her to calm down. "Relax? Boy, don't tell me to relax. I'll relax if I feel the need to relax. You're an asshole," she said, stomping off and leaving me there in utter confusion. Girls are weird...

-Your POV-
Did I overreact? Maybe. But did he deserve the overreaction? Yes. I looked around as I was walking through the town. Where were they? I heard a scream that sounded like Frypan so I ran towards the noise. When I got there, Fry was frozen in place. I looked him up and down, confused. He was drenched in.... oil? "What the hell happened?" I asked. "I don't know, me and the guys were messing around then everyone disappeared. I was trying to find them but they were hiding from me. Next thing I know, someone is pouring a barrel of lard on me," he explained. A breeze blew through and I got a smell of him in the heat, making me gag. That smells awful. "Go shower, please. For the love of god. Find a shower," I said and he walked off. "Where are you guys?!" I yelled out, hearing a laugh that sounded like Gally's in response. "So, where did you get the pig fat?" I shouted out, then Gally walked out from where they were hiding, the others following him. "It was just sitting by the butcher's place in a big barrel. He said we could have it," Gally said, causing me to roll my eyes. "Well can you stop causing chaos in the town? These people go through enough. Now let's go get Newt and Fry and then we can get some food," I demanded to them. 

-Time Skip- 

We were walking to the best little restaurant in this run-down town. I was genuinely surprised that there were any restaurants left. I didn't think we had enough resources, but I guess these people know how to keep things running. It was a good ways away from our tent, though, so we had a while to walk. It felt like it was silent among us, but it wasn't. The only people really being silent were me and Thomas. I miss our friendship that we had. He and I were so close before I left WCKD. He felt like a brother to me. Now he barely even looks at me, even though we're right beside each other. It's WCKD's fault. They erased all of his memories of me. They knew that he would've turned against them if he remembered our friendship. If he had known how it made me feel... But they didn't do this just to keep Thomas on their side. They did this to hurt me. To make me lose my best friend so maybe I would be weak enough to crawl back to them, but no. I'm not that weak.
