I walk back to the glade with Newt, our hands together, fingers intertwined. He looks at me and must have figured I was thinking hard.
"What are you thinking about Love?" He asks in his cute accent.
"Nothing much."
"I know that's not true. Whenever you think hard, you always scrunch your eyebrows and nose. It is the cutest thing!" He says with a smile and a small giggle.
"It's just...Thomas and Minho seemed really upset with you. What did you do?" I am very perplexed. I want answers. I stop where I am and look at him. I don't move, I don't even blink. I had a look of desperation in my eyes. I was searching for answers as if a lost child were searching for their parents.
"I don't know love. I was just working all day, so I took a break. I started talking to Teresa and Thomas came in screaming. He must have been mad that I was speaking with her. He does fancy her ya know." Of course I know! Anyone in the glade could see that! A spark of curiosity poked at my mind. Why did Minho get so upset? It's not like he has a crush on Teresa too. What were they talking about? Newt is the only boyfriend I can remember having, and I love him. I don't want to lose him.
Obviously, I had been thinking a while because Newt eventually walked in front of me and asked if I was alright.
"Yea. I'm ok, just confused that's all."
"Well, don't be Y/N. I love you and I'm yours." I feel a smile spread across you face. I love it when he says that to me and he knows it. I look down, my face beat red. He cups my face in his hands, looks straight into my eyes and leans in for a kiss. Our lips move in sync as he pulls me in closer. Just then, Thomas and Minho run out of the map room, interrupting this perfect moment. I pull away, embarrassed to be caught.
"What do you two shanks want?" Newt asks. I am surprised at his sudden change in tone. He pulls me in closer, wrapping his arm around me as if to prove a point.
"We just don't want Y/N to get hurt. Especially by a slinthead like you!" Thomas answers for both of them. I don't understand, he and Newt are like brothers. Or were like brothers I guess. I decide to take things into my own hands.
"Look, I don't need a babysitter, let alone two babysitters," I say looking at both of them, "I can take care of myself, thank you very much. I appreciate what you two shanks are trying to do, but enough is enough." I say, taking Newt's hand and walking away. We all head back to the glade where I can finally get some of Frypan's food.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning I get up early to run. I give a still sleeping Newt a kiss on the forehead and meet up with Minho in front of the maze, waiting for the doors to open. It is really awkward now, after what happened. He was the first one to break the silence.
"Y/N, Tom and I are really sorry about before. We are just trying to look out for you. Thomas saw something Newt had done, but if you don't want to know, I won't tell you." I was stunned at his apology.
"Thank you. I don't want to know, because I trust Newt. He wouldn't hurt me intentionally." I say as he rolls his eyes and looks at his feet. I think about adding something else, but then the doors open and he took off, running faster than he ever had before. I tried to keep up, but he was too fast. I eventually lost him.
I was running a part of the maze I had never seen before when I noticed it had started to get dark, I head back for the maze, starting to panic at how dark it is. The maze was messed up, I didn't know the way back. Through the twists and turns of the maze I ran, the night getting darker and darker. By the time I reached the entrance, the maze doors were starting to close. I see all the gladers in front of the doors. Thomas, Newt, Minho, Alby, Chuck, Gally, and Teresa all in the front of the group, screaming for me to hurry. Tears were streaming down Newt's face as the doors closed, separating me from the gladers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fear starts to set in. No has ever survived a night in the maze! I was as good as dead and everyone knew it. I will never see Newt again. I will never apologize to Thomas and Minho. My eyes start to burn as the tears fight their way out. I lean against the wall of the maze and stare into nothingness. I can't stay here, I can't keep moving. In the distance, a sort of, howl fills my ears. The grievers. I decide to do the thing I know best, I run. My legs burning, eyes watering, lungs on fire, I run. I ran all night, dodging grievers, squeezing through closing walls at the last minute. My will to see Newt is what helped me survive the night. I find the entrance to the maze and see some of the gladers turning to leave.
"Wait! There she is!" Chuck shouts, turning to point at me. I stagger through the doors, tired and hungry. Arms start to wrap around my body as I hear things like "thank God your alive!" and "We thought you were dead!" and "How did you survive?" My vision was a little blurry as they set me down on the ground and handed me water. I just ran 12 SHUCKING HOURS STRAIGHT! I was even impressed with myself! I look around at all the smiling, familiar faces. Thomas, Minho, Chuck, even Gally was there! But there was one face missing.
"Where's Newt?" I ask, looking around at all the faces that were suddenly losing their smiles. I'm not gonna lie, I was kind of disappointed and hurt that he wasn't there.
"He's in his room." Gally said, patting me on the shoulder. "He was really upset when you got shut in."
"Teresa is up there too, she's been giving him food and stuff, he was refusing to eat." Chuck said with a sigh. I was glad Teresa was there to help him. I don't know what I would do without her.
I slowly stand up with the help of a dozen arms. I start heading toward Newt's room, to see if he is alright. Frypan helps me walk halfway there until I can actually feel my legs again. As I start to enter his room I hear voices and stop to listen. I know I shouldn't, but I was curious.
"I am really sorry about Y/N Newt." It's Teresa's voice.
"It's ok. I knew it was coming, she was so wreckless. At least your here now, and I know you will never leave me." Ouch. I would be lying if I said that didn't hurt worse than being stung by a griever! How could he say such a thing! I was doing my shucking job!
"I love you Newt." I nearly pass out at those words. Those words spoken by my "best friend". Those words I used to tell him.
"I love you too Teresa. Come here Love." 😥 He used to call me that. Then it is silent. My heart aches and I just want to wake up from this nightmare! My mood turns from sadness to anger real quick. I slam open his door to find them making out on what used to be "our" bed. The same spot we used to kiss. He looks up at me, with udder shock and horror. Teresa just looks down and smirks. I feel the tears start to fight their way through.
"Y/N....I......we were just....... I couldn't help it......it just all happened so fast...and-" I cut him off.
"Save it Newt! While I was out there risking my life to find a way out of this shucking place for you, you were here cheating on me! The only reason I could make it through that maze was because of you! I thought there was someone waiting for me, someone who wanted me to live because he loved me! I guess I was wrong! I didn't realize that I was just, the other girl. How could you! I loved you!" At this point tears were pouring out of my eyes and I was screaming at the top of my lungs. Razor blades cutting my throat. I looked out the door and saw the whole glade looking at me in horror and sympathy. I had never cried in front of anyone here before. I looked down then back at Newt, who was blurry from my tears. He got up from the bed and tried to grab my hand, but I pulled away.
"Forget it you Shucking Shank! I hope you and my "best friend" are very happy together!" With that, I ran out.
"Y/N wait!" I didn't even hesitate. I ran past the gladers and into the woods. I didn't even bother to look back and see if anyone had followed me. I just had to get away from here, from everyone, from this shucking maze! I don't know how long I had been running before I collapsed in front of a tree. My back lying against the rough bark, I curled up and cried. I can't be tough all the time. I had been with Newt too long for something like this to happen. I found myself hating everything and everyone.
