Trapped (Full Story)

Chapter 20

The next morning as I finish singing "Hold On" I go and grab a plate of food and a granola bar.

"Hey Fry. Thanks again for not totally hating me after I stole some of your food," I smile. Fry smiles kindly and replies: "It's fine. At least you kept it In order! Better than other shanks."

I laugh at his words before heading back to the medhut.

When I get there tho, Newt's holding a pocket knife to his heart with tears streaming down his face.

I drop the food and run over, smacking the knife from his hand.

"What are you doing?" I ask panicked.

"No!" Newt screams as the knife flies across the room.

He instinctively reaches for it but cries out In pain as he moves his leg. I pick him back up and then sit next to him, bringing him into a hug, his head resting on my chest.

"Sh, Sh, you're ok. You're ok." I whisper, rocking him back and forth as he laid against my chest.

The door immediately bursts open and Alby's standing in the doorway. "What's wrong?" He asks. He then sees Newt bawling into my chest and he glares at me. "What did you do?" He demands.

"Nothing. He's just in pain. I promise I did nothing. But can you get some more food from Fry for him?" I ask with sad eyes. Alby's expression softens as he leaves to go to Fry.

"Please... I just want to die..." Newt whimpers which breaks my heart.

"Newt, look at me." I say, pulling away and making him look at me. "People need you here! They need you so much more than you know! Everyone kept asking if you were gonna be ok! They want you here Newt! They need you! So please stay. I know It hurts, but I'll help you through it with the help of everyone else, Is that ok?" Newt breaks down crying again and he hugs me again. I hug him back, rubbing his back and running my fingers through his hair.

Alby comes back in a minute later and I thank him before he leaves once again to tell Nick and Minho.
