Newt X Reader

8. Our Last Breaths

Newts POV

☆°~♡~°☆

I hugged (Y/N) close to my side as Gally aimed his gun at us,

"Gally?"

(Y/N) asked,

"How did you-"

He was crying, and his eyes were bloodshot.

" we cant leave"

He said through gritted teeth,

Thomas stepped in front of the group, shielding Teresa and Chuck with his arms,

"We did. Gally we're out. We're free."

"Free?"

Gally questioned,

I stood so that my body was in front of (Y/N),

I noticed that she grabbed hold of the spear in her hands, her grip tightening so her knuckles turned white.

"You think we're free out there?"

Gally asked, he looked rigged,

"No. No theres no escape from this place!"

He re-adjusted his aim to Thomas and everyone shifted uncomfortably.

"Gally listen to me. Ok you're not thinking straight!"

It was only then that I noticed the big black mark on his arm,

A griever sting,

"You're not ok? Ok we can help you."

Thomas tried to reason with him.

"Just put down the gun."

"I belong in the maze."

Gally said through tears,

"Gally just put the gun down."

"...we all do."

"GALLY NO!"

and with that he pulled the trigger,

At the same time Minho threw his spear, right into Gallys chest.

He sputtered out blood and then fell to the floor beside his gun,

No one breathed, until,

"...Thomas..."

Chuck pulled on Thomas's sleeve and it was only then that we realized the big red mark spreading on his white shirt...

He had taken the bullet for Thomas,

Thomas had just caught Chuck before he hit the ground, he slowly lowered him to the ground,

Chuck grabbed at his chest and then at the pockets of his pants,

I stared with tears in my eyes at the young boy,

I slowly pulled (Y/N) into my chest, her face buried in my white hoodie,

She didnt cry... but she was unmoving, like she couldn't breath,

I shed tears as (Y/N) gripped my hoodie tighter with every weep of Thomas

She just stood with her hands gripping the fabric of my hoodie, staring at nothing, and hearing Thomas try to reassure a dying chuck.

"You're ok! You're ok Chuck ok?"

Chuck grabbed something from his pocket,

It looked like a tiny wooden doll,

He handed it to Thomas,

"No no Chuck no! We said you would give it to them yourself ok?"

"Take it..."

He gripped Thomas's hand and put the tiny thing in it...

And with his last breaths he whispered...

"Thank you..."

His head slumped back against the floor and it was now that I could feel (Y/N) crying into my shirt,

"Chuck..? Chuck come on!"

Thomas grabbed chucks shirt,

"COME ON CHUCK! WAKE UP!!"

he was crying hysterically now, gripping at Chuck,

I didnt let go of (Y/N),

I just held her tighter as people in black suits started pulling us all to the exist,

When they ripped (Y/N) from me I elbowed my way out of the persons reach and grabbed onto her,

The two of us were dragged towards a helicopter the rest of our friends just behind us,

The ground was sand, hot and dry and the sun baked us as we made it into the chopper,

(Y/N) and I huddled in the corner seat, she buried her face in my neck and I kissed the top of her head,

Thomas stared at the little wooden doll from Chuck,

Everyone was still in shock,

"Newt..."

I looked down at (Y/N) who was still gripping my shirt,

"Yes?"

I said, running my hands through her hair,

"... are we safe?"

I looked at the men and woman in the helicopter that had saved us,

I nodded,

"Yes love... we're safe. Now rest up...

You deserve it."

A/N: AYYYYY!! IM DONE BOOK 1!!
There will be a book two, but it will be in the same book if that makes sense.

Newt: I'm just glad (y/n) is safe

A/N: hmm? Oh yeah me to *sniff sniff*

Newt: parker are you crying?

A/N: No!! No I just hated reading Chucks death in the books! It was so emotional!
Anyway that's all for now
Love u all my guardians
