"I lied when I told you I didn't love you. You needed to move on, you weren't suppose to love me and I needed to protect you from me."
Newt and Y/N grew close when they escaped the maze. They relied on each other; more like Y/N relied on Newt.
While escaping WCKD, Y/N was so dependent on Newt, if he wasn't there, she wouldn't be alive. His encouraging words, kind smile, and will to want to make it to the safe haven is what kept her going.
When they met Brenda and Jorge, things started to change between the two, in a good way.
Wherever you saw Y/N, Newt was close by. The others began to notice more and more.
It was late and everyone was off to bed. Y/N slept alone and normally she was fine with it, but tonight she kept thinking about the Gladers they have lost. Chuck, Winston, Alby, many others. It would be different if they were here, it would be better.
She leaned up and let out a small sigh, there was going to be no sleep for her at this point. She quietly got up from her handmade bed, scraped from anything soft they could find.
She crept slowly passed the others who were sound alseep, or so she thought. When she reached where she wanted to be, which was a ridge with the perfect view to watch the sunrise.
"Can't sleep?" She jumped at the sound of Newt's voice. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He took a seat beside her.
"It's alright, I just have a lot on my mind." She admitted.
"Care to share?" She looked at him and then down at fingers.
"Everyone we lost...and how they should be here with us." He nodded his head.
"We all do...but it's because of them we are here."
"And I feel guilty...I mean because of me you might not have been here." She felt the tears form in her eyes.
"That's not true love...and if it were I would do a million times over, I promised you leaving the maze I would protect you."
"Don't say that...I would never want you to die because of me." He wrapped his arm around her and she laid her head on his chest.
"I care too much about you...I love you." He kissed the top of her head.
"I love you too." She whispered.
Days later they were attacked by WCKD. Even in the maze Y/N has always been weak, she wasn't the type to shoot a gun or cause harm.
Brenda kept Y/N close during the attack. She wanted to hide and cower, everything was happening so fast.
One moment it was pure choas, and the next it was as if it all stopped in a flash. Brenda took Y/N by the hand and pulled her to Thomas, Newt, and Frypan.
"Where is...Minho... Teresa?" Y/N asked. Thomas looked down, and Newt glanced at Frypan.
"They took Minho...Teresa is part of WCKD." Newt answered.
"W...what...Teresa would never-"
"Well she did!" Thomas shouted, Y/N startled jumped a bit. Thomas stormed off leaving the others.
"I'm sorry...". Y/N said.
"You don't need to apologize...we will get Minho back." Newt assured her, taking her by the hand.
Three months passed and plan to rescue Minho was in affect.
With the help of Gally who turned out wasn't dead, and worked along side Lawerence who was leader of a group called 'The Right Arm'.
Newt began to act differently, he was more distant and quiet. Y/N confronted Thomas about her concerns but he insisted it must be stress about Minho.
The group was gathered together for one last meeting before entering the wall and retrieving Minho. Thomas led it as usual and Gally explaining the areas to avoid and the areas that are safe.
Newt remained silent in the corner.
"We won't know Minho's actual location...won't that affect us?" Brenda asked. Gally looked at Thomas.
"There is someone who does know." Gally said looking directly at Thomas.
When they returned Thomas told everyone that Teresa was the way in.
"There has to be another way." Things argued.
"If there is, we haven't figured it out yet." Gally replied. "She is the only option we have."
"I think we can think of another way-"
"Why? We have a chance of saving Minho and you are worried about Teresa? Has it always been about her?!" Newt shouted getting into Thomas face. "Don't lie to me!?" Y/N grabbed onto Frypan's arm, she has never seen him so angry, none of them have.
"N... Newt?" Y/N spoke. He backed away from Thomas and cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry...I need some air."
Y/N followed behind Newt who went outside, he was leaning against the railing from the balcony that out looked the city.
"I'm alright Love." He said, she stood beside him and looked down.
"Are you? You have never...the way you got so angry." Newt turned her, his face calm. "What is going on?" She asked.
Without saying anything he lifted his sleeve on his arm and revealed a bite mark.
Y/N placed her hands over her mouth.
"I didn't want to say anything at all but...with the effects taking a toll-"
"Not say anything at all?! You should have said something right away."
"It wouldn't have changed anything."
"W... well...when we get to Teresa she can help right?" Newt looked down. "Right?"
"It will be fine Love." He pulled her close and hugged her.
Teresa, she was the key to finding Minho.
"You are going to help us to get Minho." Gally told her.
"Even if I knew where he was...it is heavily guarded and-"
"We have our ways." Gally interuppted. Y/N remained close to Newt.
"Y/N...you are going to help Brenda and Frypan with the kids as soon as we get them out... Newt, Gally, Teresa, and I are heading inside." Thomas ordered. She nodded her head understanding.
Before the group fully departed for the mission, Newt began to act strange and distant for the few moments they had left together.
"I can handle it...I don't need a lecture." He spat. She knew this wasn't him talking but still his tone hurt.
"I know that...but it something happens and I don't see you again for whatever reason."
"Do you think I can't handle it out there? Because I am pretty sure I am the one who saved your arse plenty of times."
"Newt that is not what I am saying! Stop acting like a jerk." Those words set him off, just like he did with Thomas, he pushed her against the wall and got in her face.
"I only helped you because no one else wanted the burden of watching out for you...I never really cared...never probably loved you either." She roughly pushed him back and stormed away from him angrily, tears forming.
Y/N and Brenda were successful able to rescue the kids and safety got them passed the walls with the help of Frypan.
It was now a waiting game.
"Brenda! We need the serum!" Thomas shouted over the walkie talkie. Y\N knew it was meant for Thomas.
"I'll take it!" Y/N shouted, Brenda gave her the small bottle that held the serum.
She didn't exactly know where she was going, but when she reached inside the city, she couldn't believe how destoryed it was. She ran and ran as fast as she could till she found Thomas hovering over a body.
"Newt?" Thomas turned around, tears in his eyes. She ran over and fell to her knees beside him.
"I lied when I told you I didn't love you. You needed to move on, you weren't suppose to love me and I needed to protect you from me...to push you...you away...". Newt slightly opened his eyes. His body was covered in blue veins. His eyes black, his mouth as well.
"I know, I know that wasn't you." Tears formed in her eyes. "I...I have the serum." She said looking at Thomas, but when she looked back at Newt she noticed he was bleeding from his stomach.
"I'm sorry..." Thomas spoke.
"You two take care of each other yeah?" Newt asked.
"Always." Newt turned his head, his chest stoping rising. Y/N let out a sob.
"We need to go." Thomas told her. He stood up and lifted her to her feet. She looked back one more time at Newt.
