The Maze Runner Preferences and Imagines

You Break Up Part 3 (Newt Imagine)

I sat there crying for what seemed like hours when I hear footsteps coming closer to me. I wipe my red eyes.

"I'm not in the shucking mood to talk right now." I say loud enough for whoever it is to hear. I really didn't feel like talking to anyone. Minho and Thomas were right this whole time and I spat in their faces. I am a horrible person! My best friends are mad at me, and my EX-boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend. Long story short, I'm not in the mood for people at this moment in time.

"Oh shuck! We were really looking forward to our Y/N time!" It's Thomas....wait, did he say we.

"Yea! We needed some shucking girl talk with a beautiful Klunk Head!" It's Minho. They make me let out a laugh that I was trying to hold in. They always know what to say to make me feel better. They sit on either side of me, both with small smiles on their face.

"You shanks were right." They both got wide eyed.

"We were right?! How did those words taste coming out of your mouth?" Thomas said, giving me a little shove.

"Like poison." I respond with a laugh. "I'm sorry, I should have listened to you guys. Newt is a Slinthead."

"Yea, we tend to be right a lot." Minho said with a smile, making me laugh. "But let's not talk about that now. Come with us!"

"You guys, I really don't want to go back to the glade."

"We aren't going to the glade." Thomas says, wiping the dry tears from my face.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see." They say in unison (why do they keep doing that??) while putting a blindfold over my eyes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After walking a while we stopped in our tracks.

"We are going to take the blindfold off but DON'T open your eyes ok?"

"Ok." I said in a mocking tone. I wish I knew what was going on.

"On the count of three open your eyes," continues Minho, "1....2.....3!" I open my eyes to everyone yelling surprise in the middle of the woods. A small smile spreads across my face. Everyone in the glade is here, except for Teresa and Newt. Which is ok with me.

"You guys!" I say bringing Thomas and Minho in for a hug. We continued the party, all talking and laughing. The party ended with each of the guys giving me a flower they had picked out for me. (Come on don't you wish this was real life 😍) It completely took my mind off of the whole Newt and Teresa thing. In the end it was me, Minho, Thomas, and Alby, and NO Newt, just like it always should have been. I put all of the flowers on the table that they brought out and sat down. I had been avoiding this question all night, but we all know it had to be asked.

"Where are Teresa and Newt?" I ask, the smile never leaving my face.

"We put them in the pit for two nights. I am really sorry Y/N."

"It's ok. This was great! Thanks guys!" I gave them each a hug and headed for my room. I knew I was going to have to pass the pit on my way there, so I took all of my flowers and put on the biggest smile I could. The trip there seemed like forever and each step closer to the pit made my heart pound even harder. My heart was beating so loud that I could barely hear the footsteps coming up behind me. An icy hand touches my back and I turn to see who it is.

"Want me to walk past the pit with you?" It was Gally. He wasn't always so fond of me, but he wasn't a robot and could tell when I didn't need his shuck.

"Yes please." I say, my voice shaky. I didn't realize how nervous I was until someone offered to help me through this. Gally put his arm around my shoulder (in a friendship sort of way) and we walked down the glade together. Normally it would be awkward, but I needed this now. We were just at the beginning of the row of pits when I stopped dead in my tracks. Why did my room have to be right by the pit?! Of course I knew the answer. They didn't want me by the boys, but I would like to have that more than this. Teresa usually roomed with me, but I don't know what we'll do when these two days are up. Gally pulled me along.

We pass by Teresa's pit where we can hear her whisper to the wall Newt?! Newt?! Which makes me uncomfortable. I think they have been whispering to each other this whole time. As soon as she see's us she smirks at me and whispers "Newt, I love you!" I nearly lost it. I jumped out of Gally's arms and started for her pit, but he grabbed me and pulled me back before I could give her a piece of my mind.

"Just ignore her Y/N." Gally says as he moves to the opposite side of me. This way he can be in between me and the pit. We pass a couple of empty ones before arriving to Newt's pit. By this time my heart is my throat and I can barely breath. Gally pulls me in closer and we hear Newt say "And you think I'm the cheater." That stung.

"Slim it shank!" Gally says, squeezing me tighter. Sometimes he doesn't know his own strength.

"I just want to talk to Y/N." Newt says. What can I say, I still love him. You don't just get over your first love like that.

"Gally, can I just have a couple minutes alone with him?" I say, looking into his eyes. I never noticed how when he tries to act all tough he tends to stand taller.

"Yea, I guess. But you let me know the shucking second you want to get away from this slinthead." He gives Newt the death stare and turns to walk away. I sit down on the ground in front of the pit and put all of my flowers on the ground, making sure he noticed them. He leans forward in the light so I can see his face. His eyes are puffy and I can tell that he has been crying. Hopefully over me.

"What do you want Shank?" I say to break the silence.

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry."

"What?" I was shocked. I thought he was going to tell me how much he loved Teresa and hated me.

"I love you Y/N. I love YOU! I never meant for you to get hurt. I thought you were dead and I guess I just needed someone to fill the whole in my heart!" He is so cute! "It's all my fault love." I'm still mad at him, but after all, he is apologizing.

"Don't call me love. Not yet, anyway. So your saying, you thought I was dead, which means you didn't have a girlfriend anymore, so you just move on to the next girl?" I ask appalled!

"What would you do if you were me! I thought I lost you! Every time I kissed Teresa I thought of you!" He kissed her more than once! At this point he is practically screaming and I can hear Gally start to walk up to us.

"If I were you, and you died in that maze. I would have died with you. I would have spent everyday mourning and I wouldn't be able to look at another man because without you here with me, there is not point in ever loving again. I still love you Newt, but I can't trust you. If you lose faith in me that quickly, who is to say it won't happen again." I feel the tears start to come and I grab his hand as I see tears forming in his eyes too. "Love is precious, when you have it, you should never let it go." I can hear Gally get closer and can tell he is right behind me.

"Are you ready Y/N?" He asks.

"Yes." I turn back to Newt, "I still haven't let go." With that I turn and walk to my room.

A/N: Ok, so I wasn't really going to stop it here, but it was just dramatic enough to stop, so I did. 😊 There will be a part 4 most likely today or tomorrow, I basically dedicated this day to writing. Thanks for reading! 😘
