Chapter 5: Wake up
Newt's POV:
Y/N and I ran into the maze, twisting and turning as we ran as fast as we could, trying to reach Section 7 as quick as possible. Section 7 was known to have blades that liked to turn on their own, meaning that we had to be quick enough to run through the whole thing without getting chopped into bite-sized pieces. There was also the chance that we could run into Grievers, which was a huge no-no in our books. Nobody has ever lived to see one of those slimy beasts and tell the tail.
Once we made our way to Section 5, we took a break, deciding to drink some water and stretch before making our way to our designated section. "Damn, who knew you could run so shucking fast! I was about to trip and fall if we hadn't stopped!" Y/N panted, leaning against the vine-covered walls.
I laughed, pulling her onto my lap as we sat down, drinking some water and relaxing a little. "you know, I never would've expected you out of all people to be so slow~" I teased, smirking at her annoyed look. She rolled her eyes, slapping me playfully on my chest as she rested her head against my neck, smiling.
As we finished up our little break, the sound of metal clanking could be heard close by. I looked over to Y/N, seeing the same nervous look in her eyes as we both ran behind one of the walls, peaking from behind it to see what was going on. On the other side of the wall we were hiding behind, were two Grievers, and that's when my blood ran cold.
I looked over to Y/N to see that she was practically shaking. I quickly grabbed her, pulling her into my arms to calm her down and prevent her from making any sounds. I silently told her to be as quiet as possible as we tried to walk away from the bionic monsters.
As soon as we were far enough from them, we both let out a deep breath of relief, only for it to be ruined by an ear-piercing scream. "Oh god.." I trialled off as I looked to the side, watching as Sam ran towards us, both Geroge and 2 very angry-looking Grievers hot on his tail. 'Run!" they yelled, shaking us from our thoughts. Il looked over to Y/N, seeing her panicked look. "Let's go!" I yelled, grabbing her hand as we ran for our lives...
Y/N's POV:
I felt as though my legs were on fire as we ran away from the threat behind us. I kept looking to my side, squeezing my hand to make sure that Newt was still there by my side. We weren't getting any farther away from them and the Grievers looked as though they were picking up speed.
Just as we turned to the side, we heard another scream, this time, it was a scream of pain. I looked behind ups to see George pinned by one of the Grievers, struggling to get up. I looked over to Newt, my flight or fight instincts kicking in. Newt looked over to me, a confused look on his face. "I'm sorry.." I whispered, letting go of his hand as I ran to George, screaming.
"Hey! You ugly shuckheads! How about you pick on someone your own size!" I screamed, catching their attention so that George could escape. I could faintly hear the sound of Newt screaming my name, but I ignored it, running the opposite way as I lead the two hungry beasts away from my friends. I ran as fast as I could, adrenaline pumping through me as I lead the Grievers farther and farther into the maze. But eventually, everyone runs out of stamina, and so did I.
I fell to the ground, my whole body blazing and my head spinning. I could hear the Grievers legs scraping across the concrete as they ran towards me. 'This is it. This is where it all ends... I love you Newt, I'm so sorry...' I thought as I closed my eyes, letting the darkness consume me.
But suddenly, I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, hoisting me onto their back as they ran. I opening my eyes slightly to see Ben holding me on his back, running towards the entrance of the maze. "B-Ben..." I trailed off, blacking out before I could hear anything else.
3rd Person POV:
Ben and Minho ran back into the Glade, Nick hot on their tail. "Someone get a damn medic!" Minho ordered, making room to lay Y/n's unconscious body on the grass as the door closed behind them; trapping the Grievers in the god-forsaken maze. Newt ran over to the love of his life, tears streaming down his face as he cupped her head, laying into his lap as he stroked her hair, sobbing slightly. "What the hell happened out there!?" Nick asked, angry to see Y/N so lifeless looking.
Sam ran up to the bunch, panting as he explained. "George and I were running our route when two Grievers came to of nowhere and started chasing us! We ran as fast as we could, and that's when we ran into Newt and Y/N. I warned them to start running, so they did. It wasn't until a Griever had George pinned under it did Y/N stop. She distracted them and diverted them so we could all escape safely. She saves our lives..." He whimpered, looking at her pale body.
Newt gulped harshly, kissing Y/N's forehead as Clint came with a make-shift stretcher, gently placing the girl don't before taking her back to the Med Hut with help from Gally and Alby. "Tomorrow, nobody but me and Minho will be running the maze to see where the hell those things came from. Until we check it out, nobody is allowed out of these walls. Am I clear!?" Nick yelled, catching everyone's attention.
All the Gladers nodded in understanding, going on with their day as usual. Nick went over to Jeff, discussing both George and Y/N's condition. Meanwhile, Newt made his way to the Med Hut, taking a seat next to Y/N as he held her hand, placing soft kisses on her skin. Y/N, my love, please wake up... I love you... I need you, don't leave me... I love you, baby, please..." He sighed, laying his head on her stomach as he prayed to whatever god was up there to save his love.
Nick made his way to check on Geroge, watching subtly as Newt kissed Y/N's cheek, tears glistening in his eyes. Nick sighed, feeling a bit of guilt and jealousy building in his chest. He quickly pushed it down, putting on a neutral face before checking on George's condition.
"How is he?" He asked Jeff as they lifted his shirt, showing a huge sting mark, his veins now black and prominent. Nick sighed, taking a seat as he watched the Glader squirm and growl, his arms being tied to the need as he tried to break free. "Nobody is to come in here, only me, you two and Alby are allowed. Understood?" He directed, nodding along with them as he left the room, millions of thoughts running through his head.
He quickly made his way over to Newt and Y/n, looking at her pale body. "Both Jeff and Clint say she should be fine, all she needs is plenty of rest and fluids." He spoke softly, sitting on the other side of the girl, grabbing her hand. Newt felt his heart constrict at the sudden affection Nick was showing the love of his life. He quickly shook it off, gulping before speaking.
"I feel as though t's all my fault. I should've stopped here. I should have been the one to run back instead of her. I should be the one in this be, not her. I-I-..." Newt trialled off, his throat thick with emotion.
Nick sighed, shaking his head as he spoke. "Kid, you can't blame yourself for something that was out of your control. She did a noble thing and she did it with a clear conscience. She wanted to go and help him. So stop thinking bout the 'what ifs' and all that bullshit it because won't get you anywhere," he consoled, smiling lightly at the British boy as he stood up, excusing himself to go and talk to Alby and Minho; leaving Newt alone with the girl he would give up his life for...
The Next Day:
Y/N's POV:
I woke up what a splitting headache. I looked around to see that I wasn't in my room but the Med Hut. 'What the hell happened? All I remember was running with Newt and then- oh...' I thought, all the memories of the event rushing back to me.
I sighed, wincing as I sat up. That's when I felt a weight on my stomach, causing me to look down and see Newt, his head resting only my abdomen. I smiled, running my fingers through his soft golden locks as he snuggling into me, a relaxed smile on his face.
"Newtie~ Can you get up please~" I cooed softly, not sure what time it was. Newt quickly jumped up at the sound of my novice, his eyes red and swollen from crying all night II assumed. I frowned, feeling guilty that I had worried him so much that he had cried. "Y/N, love! You're okay! Oh, thank god!" He sighed in relief, biting his lip as he pulled me into his embrace. I smiled, resting my head on his chest as he spoke.
"Baby, I-I was so worried that you would never wake up... I can't imagine a life without you..." He spoke, his words touching my heart. "Oh, Newtie.." I trialled off, my eyes meeting his deep chocolate brown ones. We both leaned in, our lips inches apart until we both met in the middle. It felt as though fireworks had exploded, my stomach was doing summersaults at the ct that I was kissing the boy I was madly in love with.
Once we pulled away, panting for air, Newt smiled at me, slipping under the covers of the small bed I had been resting on as he pulled me into his arms, kissing me once more, this time more passionately. I smiled into the kiss, feeling as though my heart would burst at any given moment.
That's when I remembered George. I quickly pulled back, confusing Newt. "Is George okay?" I asked worry lacing my voice. Newt sighed, kissing my neck as he spoke. "I'm sorry, baby, but Alby and Nick won't let anyone else check on him, so I honestly have no idea..." He trialled off, kissing my cheeks as he looked into my eye, instantly calming me down. I could see in his eyes that he blamed himself, which was not okay.
"It's not your fault Newt. I want you to know that none of this was your fault and I do not blame you for any of it. I-I love you.." I tried off, stroking his cheeks as he smiled, tears glistening in his eyes. "Thank you, baby, I wish I could've done something to help you, but I'm just glad you're okay now. I love you more..." He smiled, kissing me once again, making me smile. "Love, will you be my girlfriend and hopefully much more in the future?" Newt asked as he held me in his arms, separating our kiss to ask the question. I giggled, smiling as I nodded, sealing the deal with a kiss.
After just being in the presence of each other for a little while longer, we both decided that we should go and tell the others that I am indeed okay. Newt helped me up, carrying me out the door, much to my protests. I blushed, hiding my face in his shirt as he smiled, holding me n his arms as he walked around the Glad, causing people to look at him weirdly. It wasn't until he set me down that I was crowded by millions of boys. I giggled, greeting each of them.
I looked to my side to see Ben, tears in his eyes as he looked at me. I smiled, running over to him and embracing him in a hug ."I'm so glad you're okay... When I saw you on the ground I-" I cut him off by squeezing him hard, telling him I was okay.
"I'm alright Bennie, everything is okay..." I smiled, hugging him once more before going over to Newt, giggling at his clenched jaw. I quickly kissed him, causing his cheeks to turn red before smirking. "No need to get jealous, baby, I'm all ours..." I whispered, hugging him as continued to greet the others.
The boys all cheered for me and Newt as he told them that we were together. I looked over to see Gally with a small smile on his face. I smiled, kissing his cheek as he hugged me. "I'm happy for you.." He trialled off, looking at Newt as he talked to Frypan and the others. I looked at him, seeing the hurt in his eyes. t was no secret that Gally had a huge crush on me, so his hurt look was understandable. I sighed, hugging him as I spoke softly.
"Gally, I love you... Just not like I love Newt. I'm sorry, I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship; because I really do care about you..." I spoke, smiling when he shook his head and spoke. "You will always be someone I love, so I can't imagine my life without you in it. Of course, we're still friends..." He answered, hugging me sideways as I smiled up at him, quickly kissing his cheek before going back to Newt's side.
After talking to everyone, I spotted Sam who ran over to me apologising for everything. I laughed lightly at his panicked face, telling him that he has nothing to apologise for before hugging it out, making my way to see the others. I made my way over to Alby who smiled widely at me, smiling as Newt held me close to him. "About time!" He cheered when he saw Newt kiss me. I giggled along with Newt who smiled at me.
I talked some more with Alby, asking him how everything was. At the mention of George, his expression seemed to fall. "That bad huh..." I choked, my heart dropping to my feet. Alby sighed before going silently, leaving the two of us. sighed, pouting until Newt kissed me once more, causing me to smle slightly.
After a few more hours, Newt and I spot two bodies running through the Galde, sweat trickling off their faces. I smiled, walking over to the two of them. Minho looked at me briefly before doing a double-take, his face breaking into a grin.
He ran to me, spinning me in his arms as he smiled. "Y/N! 'm so glad your okay Greenbean.." He sighed into my hair once he set me down, the nickname causing me to pout and flicking his head, making the others chuckled when he winced and pouted playfully. looked over to see Nick smiling at me. I walked over to him, a smirk on my face as I spoke.
"Come on, admit it! You missed me!" I teased, smiling when he rolled his eyes. "Well~" He fired back, causing me to gasp in fake hurt. He laughed, hugging me into his side before speaking. "Im all seriousness though, I'm glad you're okay..." He smiled, placing a soft kiss on my head before I walked back to Newt's side, kissing him once more. What I didn't notice was how Nick's jaw clenched when I did so.
Just as we all finished catching up, a loud, ear-splitting scream interrupted our peace, causing me to turn to the others, my face as white as a sheet when related who it was."George...' I whimpered, holding Newt's hand as we all ran to see what was happening.
If only things had need differently that night. Then maybe I wouldn't have lost two of the most important people in my life...
