In My Dreams (TMR A Maze Runner Fanfic) (SEQUEL IS IN HER DREAMS)

Chapter 18. "Newt! Newt! Please! Stop!"

Newt's POV

I decided that I needed to go find Ashlyn since she was obviously upset, I tried to stop but I couldn't and she seemed sure and, I don't know. I heard an agonizing scream that had to have been a girls, I started to run then I saw her as she sunk to the ground and I noticed Ben running away. That shucking- I stopped that thought as I looked down at Ashlyn as she began losing consciousness. 

"Ashlyn!" I yelled at her, but her eyes were closing and then she was lost to me. I picked her up and began running carefully, not to hurt her, but to make it to the med-jacks soon. She began to thrash in pain and the look on her face was unbearable, it reminded me of when, when Gally tried to...I saw the med-jacks coming out with supplies when I was only 40 meters away. I ran but my limp was in a serious amount of pain. I came in and Clint went to grab Ashlyn from me but I insisted on carrying her, bringing her body closer to mine. Clint just nodded his head and showed me where to put her, in one of our two rooms we had for patients since nobody ever needed anything more than a bandage. Ben was there questioningly following. My concern for Ashlyn turned into anger for whatever the boy had done. As soon as she was on a bed I turned around to Ben.

"What did you do?" I demanded, Clint surprised at my outburst.

"I didn't do anything, she came to me, because of you!" Ben exclaimed angered from being accused of things he didn't do.

Ben's POV

"I didn't do anything, she came to me, because of you!" I exclaimed angry because this shank was trying to blame this on me. "What did you do!" I yelled coming closer to Newt. "You're the one that made her want to punch a wall! You're the one who ruined our friendship! It's all your fault!" I said to him, soon finding myself right next to the boy. "It's all your fault." I intensely said into his face putting my pointer finger on his chest to make my point clear. I could see his jaw clench and unclench, trying to control his anger. It's not my fault he made Ashlyn upset. 

"Get. Your. Finger. Off. Me." Newt commanded me. 

"No," I said as I pushed him back. "what are you gonna do about it?" I asked antagonizing him. 

"Would you guys mind stepping out?" Clint asked.

"Gladly," Newt politely answered with his strange accent. I mean come on, did he learn how to talk wrong or something? He's so annoying and he' trying to take Ashlyn from me, and he's shucking annoying. I walked out in front of him, but as soon as we were out of the med-jacks area I turned around and threw the first punch; unexpectedly hitting Newt straight in the face. He immediatelyy reacted jumping on topp of my getting a few shots in before I flipped him over so I was straddling him and punching him. His nose was bleeding, but it blended in with everything I saw. It was all red from the anger surging through me that I was finally letting out. He got a hand on my shirt collar and dragged me down so he could throw in some punches. My arms weighed heavily and I couldn't get up because Newt was hitting me so hard. I felt something crack and began to plead for mercy.

"Newt! Newt! Please! Stop!" I wailed. There was so much pain. I saw a tall Asian boy out of the corner of my eye who was running. Soon I felt Newt get off of me. I didn't know what to do so I just laid there, trying to breathe but the pain was unbearable. The med-jacks came but I couldn't keep my eyes open long enough to see who exactly it was. It hurt just to have my eyes open, and to breath, I think I bruised a rib. The med-jacks helped me up and I stumbled into a bed in the room next to the one Ashlyn was in. I could have stayed in one of those beds, but the med-jacks lead me to this one, and I didn't want her to see me like this when she woke up, I didn't want her to know Newt beat me up.

Newt's POV

It had been a few days since the fight I had with Ben, Minho had straightened me out. I had come to the conclusion that everyone hear was mad at me. Alby, Ben, Minho, Ashlyn. I made my way along the wall hoping it would look like I was just taking a walk because for now I was. As soon as I came to the east door I looked around and walked straight in hoping no one would notice. I walked until the first turn so that no one from the glade would be able to see me. I began climbing up the walls using the vine's I hadn't touched since last time I had been in here, when I got my limp. I looked around, I had been so focused on climbing that I hadn't stopped to look around at the place I hadn't been in in years; the maze. I turned back to my task hoping that this time around I would be successful, and began climbing once again.
