3rd Person POV:

Y/N ran towards the sound of the screams; the other Gladers following close behind. She felt as though her heart was about to burst from agony as she heard George screaming for help. Once they all got to the room, Nick opened the door to see both Jeff and Clint unconscious on the floor and George wriggling on the bed in agony. 

Both Alby and Newt helped the boys who were on the floor as Nick and the others tried to strap George back on the bed. George screamed and continued to toss around, punching and kicking any person within his personal space. He soon made eye contact with Y/N. His gaze turned soft, as tears poured from his black pupils. "Y/N! help me!" He cried out, reaching for the shocked girl. Y/N choked back a sob as she looked at one of her closest friends who was currently in agonising pain. 

Newt pulled the shaking girl into his embrace, rocking her back and forth as he comforted her, trying to shush her broken sobs. "It's okay my love, I'm here... You're safe..." He whispered into her hair, kissing the crown of her head as the others tried to calm down George. 

Once the cries died down, Nick and the others strapped him back onto the bed, panting from exhaustion. "W-Why is this happening to him..." Y/N asked softly, tears dripping from her chin as she sobbed, reaching out to hold his hand as he laid on the bed, motionless. The boys all sighed in defeat, feeling awful for their friend who was currently going out of his mind from the pain. 

After Jeff and Clint were checked out (Courtesy of Y/N and Alby), the boys all made their way to their hammocks, getting ready to turn in for the night. Newt was about to reach for Y/N's hand to lead her back to his room for the night when he saw her gaze on something else. He followed her eyes to see she was staring at Nick who was currently sitting in front of the walls by himself. He pushed his feeling of jealousy and anger when he saw the look of sadness on the sweet girls face.

 "What's wrong, my dove?" He asked softly, kissing the girl softly as she smiled lovingly at Newt. "I'll meet you in five minutes in your room, there's something I have to do first though. Okay?" She asked, wrapping her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Newt smiled, kissing her once more in response. "I love you..." He trialled off, kissing her nose when she replied the same. 

Once Newt made his way to his room, Y/N walked over to Nick, a soft smile on her face as he stared at the wall that had all their names carved on it. It was sort of a tradition that they had for every newbie; the newbie would carve their name on the wall to show that they were now a part of their family. "Hey, mind if I sit with you?" She asked, sitting down next to the tall boy. Nick looked to his side, smiling at the girl who had come to comfort him. 

"What are you doing here? You should go and get some rest; you're still recovering." He ordered softly, intertwining their hands as they continued to stare at the wall. Y/N laid her head on his shoulder as she sighed. "How can I sleep when my best friend is out here sulking on his own.." She teased softly, causing the boy to laugh and shove her playfully. "I'm not sulking... it's just- that wall has all the names of our family and... I don't want to have to cross Georg's name off..." He admitted, his eyes stinging with unhushed tears. Y/N bit her lip, feeling her own throat clog up with emotion as she turned to face Nick. 

"None of us want that to happen. I love George like a brother. It would tear us all apart if he were to- The point is, we also have to think of the safety of everyone else. If George goes haywire, he could take one of us with him... I can't handle losing one of you guys, let alone two..." She advised, kissing his cheek softly as he sighed deeply, feeling a sense of guilt for thinking of putting George down. 'It's for the safety of everyone...' He reasoned, looking over to see Y/N smiling at him. "God I hate it when you're right..." He playfully groaned, eliciting a laugh from the petite girl. She playfully slapped his chest before wishing him goodnight, making her way to Newts room.

 Almost as though he had been awaiting her arrival, Newt swung the door open as soon as the girl had knocked on the door. Ne was greeted with the love of his life's stunning face. He scooped the girl into his arms, shutting the door with his foot as he passionately kissed her, catching the girl off guard. 

She quickly followed his lead, wrapping her legs around his waist as he held her by her thighs and laid her on his bed. They soon broke apart to breathe; much to their protest. Newt soon dove in once more, kissing her even more lovingly as he held up his body from laying on top of her. He towered over the girl, his lips moulded to hers. 

Once they broke apart for the second time, Y/N laughed lightly as Newt whined, trying to dive in for another kiss. "Slow down Newtie, pace yourself~" She giggled, kissing his neck as he lied down next to the girl, his arms wrapped around her as they faced one another. 

He sighed dreamily as he looked at her softy features, a shit-eaten grin plastered on his face. 'I finally have her in my arms...' He thought, smiling at her as he pulled her closer (if that was even possible). "Sorry, I just really love you..." He whispered as he kissed her neck, smiling as she giggled. "I love you too, silly. Just try not to go a little too overboard," She teased, kissing his nose as they snuggled together, finally getting some sleep after the rough day they had. 

________________________________

The next day they woke up, the weather matching the Gladers moods. The sky was a gloomy grey, light rain trickling down onto their sulking faces as they all gathered at the wall. Soon, Nick and Alby, along with Jeff and Clint, came in with George who was unconscious and wrapped up in rope to keep him from getting violent like last time. "I can't watch this..." Y/N whimpered, burying her face in Newt's chest as e stood at the end of the huddle, holding the scared girl in his arms. Nick threw George into the middle of the circle as he spoke. 

"Today we have come to banish George from our Glade. He has sadly been stung by a Griever and is now becoming a threat to our safety since he is getting too hostile and violent to live in peace with us. If we let him stay any longer, he could and most likely will hurt another fellow Galder, and this is too big a risk to take. This is why we have all decided that it would be safer to banish him. I am sorry George, but this is the only way..." Nick whispered the last part, tears in his eyes as he looked down at his fellow friend. 

Nick gestured for the boys to get out their sticks and huddled tighter into the circle as Ably and Jeff cut George loose. "Stand up, George," Nick ordered sternly. When George didn't respond, Nick bent down to check his pulse. Soon, George's black pupil shot open as he grabbed Nick and shoved the spear he was holding into his chest. Everyone shot into action as they tried to stop George. It wasn't until Alby shoved his spear through George's chest did he let go of Nick.

Jeff and Clint ran to check on Nick whilst everyone else tried their best to help. Y/N cried out, running to Nicks aid as she tried to put pressure on the bleeding while the two Medjacks went to fetch supplies since they could not lift him without compromising his health. 

"Y-Y/N..." Nick rasped, holding onto the girl's hand as she cried, squeezing his hand comfortingly. "yes, Nick. I'm right here..." She whispered as she kissed his forehead, crying. "I-I want you to know something.." He trialled off, grunting in pain. Y/N  gasped, not liking where this was going. "Nick, you are not dying, whatever you want to say, you can say after Jeff and Client fix you up-" "God Y/N, just listen, please..." Nick pleased as blood began to surround his lips. 

Y/N realised that he was indeed going to die, so she shut up and listening to him. "I wish I had said this sooner, maybe then things would have been different... The-The thing is, I love you so much; more than you'll ever know. You are the most amazing person and are the love of my life, you always will be. I know you don't feel the same way, you love Newt. I want you to be happy and be happy with him.... just.... remember me, please... I love you, shortie.." he smiled, choking on his blood as he let out his final breath. 

Y/N sobbed, holding his hand as he laid her head on his bloody chest, her heart breaking as the two of the most important people had just died right in front of her. " I love you too..." She whispered, placing a soft kiss on his head. Newt ran over to the hysterical girl, gathering her in his arms as she continued to sob in his arms, her heart feeling as though it had been torn apart. "I'm right here, my love... I'm right here..." Newt whispered, kissing her hairline as he let silent tears fall.

Everyone cried that night as they had lost two people that meant the world to them; two family members. George, their best friend, their jokester, the person who they could always rely on to make them feel at home. And Nick... The person who kept everyone in line, who lead their family with love, honour, pride and a caring heart. 

They had lost two people who had made their lives in this hell-hole bearable. Now, they were lost, and they were scared. Alby would now be their leader, but the thing was... Would they ever be the same? One thing was for sure, Y/N had a scar on her heart, and it would forever remain, no matter what happened, she would never forget the love she had for those two boys who were now gone for the rest of her life. She would never hear Nicks' laugh or George's deep voice, she would neer feel Nicks hand ruffle her hair or do her secret handshake with George... She had lost them. For good...
