I don't own any rights to any of the characters or the story, the story written here is based off the work of James Dashner, this is a fan fic piece of writing only. This is the story of Newt, with a Newtmas twist throughout the story- many of the events will stay the same, yet many will also be completely different! Newt had decided it was hopeless, they were never going to get out of the maze, so what was the point in living? This was no way to live- fear and anxiety crippling every single moment. So Newt did the only thing he could do, he jumped from the maze wall, hoping to end it all. Hoping to finally find a moment of peace. But something he didn't plan happened, he survived. He survived his jump from the wall, left with only one option, to keep living in the maze. For a year Newt kept living, taking it day by day, slowly gaining more strength, slowly beginning to feel that while life sucked, maybe, just maybe, it was worth sticking around for. A year after his suicide attempt, the elevator-like box continued it's pattern, bringing with it the new Greenie of the month, the new victim to the maze. A boy. Thomas. And there was something about this boy that Newt couldn't quite put his finger on. Something intriguing... something.... attractive.
