"Clint! Jeff!" Newt yelled carrying my fragile body into the med huts. I had just finished s run in the maze with a throbbing and broken ankle.
Newt had stood waiting at the doors like he usually did for me and noticed me limping and crying. He ran into the maze and picked me up swiftly and ran, through his own limp, through the glade.
"What happened?" Clint panicked as I was laid on an empty bed. I writhed around in pain as he examined my leg. My soft whimpers and sniffles were the only noise made as Clint rolled up the ankles of jeans.
"Do something," newt barked as Minho and Alby ran into the room.
"What happened?" My best friend Minho yelled as he ran to the side of the bed.
"She just came back to the glade limping. I think she broke her ankle," Newt said with his nails in his teeth.
"It's not broken but dislocated. She tore the side of her foot though which will need stitches and she'll probably have a limp forever," Clint explained as I buried my head in my hands.
"Please someone do something," I begged through my quivering lips and tears.
"Look at me love," Newt cooed and directed my eyes to his.
"On one," Clint instructed. Newt gripped onto my hand as my other hand was covering my mouth. "One."
My ankle was slammed back into place with intense burning pain spread through my leg. Only the screams I emitted were heard through the glade as I squeezed the life out of Newt's hand.
"What the bloody hell Clint?" Newt yelled as he pushed the hair out of my face.
I could tell the blood loss mixed with the immense pain was taking a tole on me. My eyes grew unbearably heavy as the sounds and voices around me suddenly disappeared.
All I could do was look at up at newt. The boy I was in love with. He was my everything and he proved once again he cared about me just by saving me. He turned his eyes to mine as tears slid out of my eyes.
"I love you," I panted as his voice returned.
"No love stay with me. You're fine (Y/N)," he begged and cupped my cheeks.
My eyes rolled in the back of my head as my strength on his hand diminished. I allowed the suffocating darkness take over me.
-----
I woke up with a sore body. I felt myself fully awake yet my eyes wouldn't open as if they were glued shut. I couldn't move any part of my body even through my begging.
Although I couldn't move, I could feel a hand inside mine and tight bandages around my right leg. It took every ounce of me but my eyes peeled open to reveal the blinding glade light.
"She's awake!" A voice screamed beside me as I winced and gripped my aching forehead. My entire body felt weak and in pain as I propped myself on my elbows. I was pushed back by two hands on my shoulders until I met the bed.
"Take it easy love," newt whispered as I assumed the hands on my shoulders were his.
"Wh-what happened?" I croaked through my dry voice.
"You passed out from the pain. Clint stitched you up but you'll have a limp like me." Two people rushed into the room and stood at the foot of the bed.
"How're you feeling princess?" Minho asked using his nickname for me.
"Besides everything hurting, I'm fine," I sighed and pushed my legs off the bed so they swung over the edge.
"Careful (Y/N). You might be able to walk on it for a few days before y'know," Clint said sounding defeated.
I pushed off the bed so my bare feet could touch the warm floor. I shifted all the weight on my legs before they were ripped from underneath me.
I crumbled to the floor as stomps rung through the room. Hands grabbed my arms and pulled me up and back on the bed. I pulled the covers over my legs as I pulled my bottom lip into my teeth.
"I can't walk, how can I run the maze?" I cried as I covered my mouth with my hand.
"We'll find a job for you love. Don't worry," Newt reassuring me with a warm smile but I just couldn't return it.
"Well you need to rest (Y/N). C'mon guys," Clint said with Minho trailing hesitantly behind.
"Wait Newt," I said causing him to spin back around to face me. "Thank you for saving me."
"Of course. Y'know I care about you," he smiled but I could tell her was hiding something. "Do you remember what you said before you passed out?"
I racked my brain but I couldn't recall so I shook my head. "You said you loved me."
My cheeks flushed as my heart began to thump rapidly. "I'm sorry but I do. Do you?"
"(Y/N)," he sighed as I gripped the sheets and prepared for rejection. "Obviously I care about you a lot but I just... can't be with you. We have to focus on escaping here."
I nodded and laid on my back with the sheets pulled over my shaking lips.
"(Y/N) I-" I couldn't handle him right now.
"You don't have to say anything. I shouldn't have. You don't have to love me. I get it, the feelings aren't returned," I sighed with the most hurt and defeated voice I could muster although it wasn't necessarily on purpose. "I'm tired Newt. I'll see ya."
I sealed my eyes shut as I felt the tears slid down my cheeks. I heard a soft sigh before Newt's uneven footsteps retracted from the room.
I lifted the covers over my head as I cried. The boy I had loved for months rejected me and I was obviously devastated. I fell back to sleep with my sobs singing me to sleep.
Newt's POV
Two hard and long weeks had gone by since (Y/N) got hurt. It took her another day before she could walk again and as Clint called, she had a limp like mine. Alby and the keepers decided to make her a track hoe since she obviously couldn't run anymore which almost thrilled me.
I felt like klunk for leaving her upset the day she woke up. I loved her, I did. I was scared and nervous to be with her so I told her I couldn't. It hurt both her and me, especially since she had been avoiding me since it.
She would speak to me as we worked but we never could continue mindless conversation. If i passed her, a small hey would he exchanged but that was it. I couldn't help but stare at her every second I saw her and if she caught me, she's blush and quickly look away. She was hurting and it was my fault.
"Earth to Newt," Zart chuckled after snapping his fingers a few times. I had been caught staring at (Y/N) as she twisted the vines with her weight on her right, limp free ankle. "You gotta stop staring at her man. Didn't you break her heart already?"
"I didn't mean to," I sighed but left my eyes on her. She puckered her lips, something she did frequently, before curving her hips for a better stance. She looked absolutely beautiful without trying.
"Look shank, we all know you love her so go get her. What's the worst thing that could happen? She's already avoiding you." I rolled my eyes and continued digging into the damp dirt.
"I can't."
Zart groaned and stormed off towards (Y/N). She looked a little startled as Zart told her something which made her eyes find me. She nodded with a small smile and returned to her vines.
"What the bloody hell did you do?" I yelled as he took his position back.
"You two are gonna work late alone and work this out. I can't stand the way you look at her anymore," Zart grinned.
Now all I had to do was get through today and then I'll tell her how I feel about her.
(Y/N)'s POV
Zart had asked me to stay later and work with Newt on the vegetables since we were a little short this month. I didn't feel like starting an argument with the keeper so I agreed despite the fire burning in my chest. Why did I say yes?!
"Thanks again (Y/N)," Zart called out before running with the other track hoes towards the homestead for dinner. I didn't mind missing a meal considering I wasn't typically hungry it Minho always forced me to eat.
"Hey," the familiar British voice said from behind me. I whipped around with my bag of seeds in hand. "Hey."
"I'm sorry we're stuck working longer," he chuckled and kneeled beside me in front of the line of pre-dug holes.
"It's okay. I'm happy to help," I smiled and dropped the seeds into their holes.
"(Y/N) I uh... I wanted to talk. You've been avoiding me and this was the only way to get you to talk to me."
"So it's your fault I'm missing dinner?" I asked.
"No no! Well yes but I didn't think you would mind and I uh-," he stuttered but stopped after he noticed me giggling. He broke my heart but I still thought he was the most adorable boy ever.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to tell you something." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I do like you, shuck I think I love you. I was just scared to love you so I told you I couldn't be with you. I know if was stupid and I should have told you earlier but I can't do this anymore. I love you (Y/N) and I really want to be with you. I want to do everything with you cause you're my everything."
I had tears sliding down my cheeks as I dropped the bag and set my hands on his neck. I glanced from his eyes to his lips as I noticed his eyes mimic mine.
"Can I kiss you?" He asked. I tightened my arms around him as I cut a chunk out of the distance between us.
"You may," I breathed as I felt myself about to burst.
Newt moved first as his hands around my waist pulled us together. The distance between us dissolved as our lips found each other's.
His lips were warm, soft and the white wetness as we slowly and in sync massaged them together. The kiss only lasted a few seconds and felt wrong to be broken but I needed to.
"Will you please be my girlfriend?" I let our eyes, his chocolate and my (Y/E/C), melt into each other's as I broke the distance.
"I would love to," I smiled as I felt the butterflies attacking my stomach.
"Finally!" I heard someone yell by the homestead as whoops and cheering interrupted the quiet glade.
"I finally got the girl and I'm never letting you go," Newt said tightening around me. I moved so we could kneel chest to chest as I buried my head in his neck taking in this euphoric feeling.
"I love you (Y/N). I'm sorry it took so long for me to tell you." I pecked his neck as I tightened into him.
"I love you too. Just don't ever let me go."
This was the start of a beautiful relationship.
