After Newt and I had a complete make out session for twenty minutes, we finally decided to get back to The Right Arm. This time, Newt let me. We went back to the boat to get some sleep. We've both had a habit of falling asleep with each other for quite a while, and it was our way of expressing how much we needed each other.

The first time we cuddled in bed was when Newt asked me to help him out with something when we lived in the Glade. We went to his room, then he confessed and said he wanted to cuddle. I gladly accepted his request and laid down next to him. That's something I'll never forget, and it's something I'll remember forever.

I was in one of those situations where you're half awake and half asleep, so I was able to feel Newt running his fingers through my hair while dreaming at the same time. It was peaceful, quiet and romantic. I enjoyed being in the company of my lover, and I needed this forever. But, that changed so suddenly.

I felt Newt quietly shifting from under me, trying not to wake me up. I was now lying down by myself, confused. I didn't open my eyes though. I mean, I wasn't tired, I just wanted to see what was up. Newt moved his hand and brushed a strand of my hair out of my face and tucked it behind my ear.

He gently placed his lips on the top of my head before whispering to me softly, "I love you, Rosalee. Goodbye."

Goodbye? I thought. What did he mean by goodbye? I heard Newt moving around the room; putting on his shoes, stuffing things in a bag, moving over to the door on his tiptoes, then opened it and quietly shut it. I sat up now that he was gone, wondering what he was doing. I got out of bed and went to the door and opened it silently, too. I saw a glimpse of Newt sneaking past everybody on the hammocks, trying not to wake them up. That's when I noticed the backpack he was wearing.

Is he... Is he going to get Minho back? Is that what Newt was doing? Was he going to meet up with Thomas and leave? Oh, hell no, that wasn't happening on my watch... They couldn't leave without me.

I turned back and quickly got dressed in the same attire from the mission today and grabbed my canvas backpack. I shoved the useful things in there, like a heavy duty flashlight, food, a knife, and a gun. I quietly snuck past everyone and went in the direction Newt was going. I realized he was heading toward the vehicle storage. I followed him into the building, seeing that he was talking to someone. Upon getting closer, I recognized that it was Frypan. He's also coming along?

"Hey, man, do you have the shotgun I asked you to bring?" Fry asked.

"Yup. I also brought extra ammo so you won't run out so quickly," Newt replied.

He tossed the gun to Frypan as he opened the door to the driver's side and hopped into the Jeep, setting it beside the gearshift. He leaned out and spoke to Newt again, but this time, in a different tone.
