Falling Apart. (Newt // The Maze Runner)

Chapter 1: Your done for.

Madeline had only been in the Glade for about 2 months, before things started to change;

The alarm sounded, louder than she had ever heard before. She noticed the other Gladers running toward the box, but she stayed behind. While she had been here they had gotten two other Greenies, guys of course. Madeline wasnt really fond of appearing at the arrival scene; she had done it once before and vowed never to go through the stressful and confusing experience ever again. She looked over to where her bestfriend stood and shook  her head, "Those Slintheads.." she said with a chuckle. Madeline knew that Newt hated going to the arrival as well, but he was second in command. He had to go. "I wish we only got one bloody Greenie a year!" he said, practically shouting, "..but no! We get one every shucking month." he said once more, furrowing his brows. "Oh c'mon Newt, its not that bad.." she trailed off, tilting her head sarcastically. Newt looked back at her and rolled his eyes. "Just go, it'll be fine. I'll even go with you if you want." Madeline said to him. She really didnt want to go, and she secretely hoped he'd leave without her, but he was her best friend. If he had to suffer through the Greenie, it'd be better to just go with him! She did the same as Newt had, and dropped her tools to the grassy ground beneath her, "well, lets go!" she said, motioning for him to follow. 

There has been some chemistry between them since they met, but she doubted that Newt even noticed. Madeline has had feelings for him since the day they became friends; the way he was so caring and protective toward her, how he always seemed to be happy when they were together, and he always comforted her. She loved Newt, but she wasnt sure if he felt the same way toward her. She tried to stay away from thinking of him 'like that' but it was hard, considering they were always with eachother. She often thought about what it would be like if he had the same feelings, if they were together..

Newt followed closely behind her as they walked to the crowded area. "hey you shuck faces, move out of my way!" he said grumpily. Madeline laughed quietly at his action. "alright. lets get this over with." he deadpanned, swinging open the heavy metal doors. Silence. Nobody made a noise, even the breathing of the Gladers was almost inaudible. "w-what? what is it?" she asked, concerned as to why nobody had said anything. Newt's face was pale white and his eyes darted around the box beneath him. "there's nothing. no greenie. no supplies. nothing." he murmered. "hey! theres a note." frypan added, pointing his dark finger to a slab of small paper. Newt slowly walked over to the slip of paper and ripped it off of the cold wall. "Your done for. Nothing else.' the note read. "What the bloody hell does that mean?" Newt asked. He looked up at Madeline and lifted his brows, "were done for?" he asked.
