The Maze Runner Preferences and Imagines

You Break Up Part 4 (Newt Imagine)

I plop down in my bed with an exasperated sigh. Tears were still streaming down my face, but I wasn't so much sad as I was mad. I put my head in my hands and rub my eyes, trying to forget everything that has happened in the last couple of days. This is ridiculous! I think, Toughen up! I sit up, change, and get under the covers, replaying the events of today. Just when I thought I would collapse from stress and embarrassment, Gally walked in.

"Y/N, are you ok?" Why is he being so sympathetic.

"Yes, Gally. I'm fine. Don't worry about me. This whole thing will blow over soon." Even I don't believe myself.

"C'mon now Sailor, I know your not fine." He squats down on the side of my bed, obviously aware of my comfort zone, which was sweet. Wait! Did he say Sailor? He has never given me a nickname before. Well, besides shank, shuck face, and slinthead. Is he flirting with me? 😮 I sit up, feeling a little uncomfortable. He must have noticed because he stood up to.

"Sorry." He said apologetically.

"No, Gally, it's just that, well, I-" he cut me off

"It's fine. Just forget about it. Um, do you want me to stay right outside, ya know, for protection and stuff?" This is more awkward than a first kiss!

"Yea, sure, that would be nice." He doesn't even look at me. He just nods and walks out. I am so embarrassing! I jump down on my bed, put the blanket over my face, and try to undo what just happened.

Waking up the next morning was torture! From through the window it looked about noon. I was late! I have to be in front of the maze early in the morning! I jump out of bed and change, running through the door, when I trip over something big. I smack my head on the ground so hard that my whole body starts to hurt. I sit up rubbing my neck to see what I tripped over, but there was nothing there.

"Y/N! Are you ok! I'm so sorry!" It's Gally. He must have slept in front of the door. That's what I tripped over.

"Did you sleep out here?! Are you crazy?! It was freezing last night! You could have come inside!" I can't believe he would do that for me! His face turned red and he is looking everywhere except at me.

"I wanted to make sure you were alright." This causes me to smile. "We should get you to the medjack." He helps me up, making my head pound.

"I can't, I have to run the maze. I'm already so late!" I say getting really dizzy.

"Don't worry, Minho and Thomas talked to me, they've got it covered. They wanted you to sleep as long as possible."

"Gally? I don't feel so great!" I bend over and throw up!

"Oh, uh, ew. Let's get you looked at."

"Ok." He picks me up and starts to carry me to the medjack. We pass the pits and the last thing I hear before passing out, is Newt saying my name as we pass him.

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

I wake up in the medjack room, head pounding. My mouth tastes foul. Spread throughout the room are different gladers. There's Thomas, Minho, Chuck, and of course Gally. He is squatting next to my bed, holding my hand. I squeeze his hand so that he knows I'm awake.

"She's awake!" He says with relief. They all rush to my bed. Why are they so surprised.

"Hey slintheads," I say making them smile, "why are you all so excited that I'm up?" I say as I sit up. My head feels much better than before.
