First

Newt
I didn't remember much of what happened after the gun went off. I remember her face, Faiths face, and the next thing I know, I'm waking up in a bed, Thomas and Minho bending over me, being told that i'm alive, virus free.
It was hard to come to terms with. One minute i'm at deaths door, and the next, i'm being brought back into this world, being told that i'm ok.
My immediate thought was of her.
When Thomas explained to me what had happened to her, what she had gone through, my heart hurt and I could help but cry.
I wasn't there to help her. I couldn't do anything. I let her go through all of that on her own.
Thomas wouldn't let me see her whilst she was recovering.
He said she needed rest, and I think part of him was desperate for a big reunion moment.
But then again so was I.

On the day that she finally woke up I was walking along the beach, taking in my surroundings, thanking any God that would listen for allowing me to live this life.
I heard my name being shouted, but at first thought it was just in my imagination.
But then it came again, louder this time, as if the person was in pain.
I lifted my hand to shield my eyes from the sun, and that's when I saw her.
She was being held by Vince who was pointing directly at me.
It was her.
I watched as she started screaming my name, running down the beach, her hair flowing behind her. I couldn't help but let out a small laugh at the fact that she was half dressed before I myself started running towards her, just so we could get to each other sooner, despite how much my body ached and my wound burned.
She stopped for a moment just in-front of me. We were both taking in that this was real, we were both alive. We could be together.

When she jumped into my arms it was a feeling of euphoria. Being able to hold her again, knowing that I was without the virus, knowing I would be able to hold her forever, brought me a blissful peace.
My heart broke as she cried, but at least now I could comfort her, all whilst knowing that I would never make her cry again, I would never leave her again.

"Shall we walk?" I asked and she nodded, gripping onto my hand as we set off making me smile to myself.
We didn't say anything for a while, we just walked in comfortable silence before we came to a little grass bank that had formed.
I sat her in between my legs, both of us facing the water, my arms wrapped around her and our fingers laced together.
I kissed her head as I felt her melt into my body, her head leaning back onto my shoulder.
"You saved me you know." I said and she sighed.
"I didn't. I left you there. I'm so sorry."
"Love, you didn't know. There was nothing you could have done in that moment. But you did save me. It was your serum you had in your pocket that saved me. Apparently it's some solution that has never been seen, well, that's what the doctor woman said." I laughed and Faith didn't react at first.
"It's my blood." She said simply and I frowned.
"Your blood is the cure?" I asked and she nodded.
I smiled and kissed her head again, "Thats my girl."
She giggled for a second, squeezing my hand in hers.
"There was a moment when I was asleep that I had a dream about you." She said, taking me by surprise, "We we're on a beach like this, talking just like this."
"I think I had the same dream." I smiled and she turned to face me.
"No you didn't."
"I did I swear!" I laughed.
"See, we're meant to be together in this life and the next." She smiled and pressed a kiss to my lips.

I enjoyed talking, and holding her until the sun started to set. But there was still something on my mind.
Thomas had come to me, asking for the package that I had been given by Vince who had taken the uniform Faith had been wearing and had burned it.
He had said that she didn't know I was alive yet, which killed me, but I gave the package to him, telling him if he gave her this without telling her I was alive would kill her.
I wasn't yet sure if he had given it to her or if he had decided to wait.
"Did you open that package I gave you?" I asked cuddling into her, bringing her back closer to my chest.
"Hm, I did." She said and though I couldn't see her face, I knew she was grinning.
"Oh dear. I told Thomas to wait. " I laughed and she crawled out of my arms and turned to face me.
"You made a ring for me?" She said and I immediately nodded.
"I want to be with you for as long as we can be. Do you have the ring on you?" I asked, knowing the moment could never be as good as this.
"No, it's back in my tent." She gasped, her hand over her mouth.
"Let's go and get it." I smiled and she nodded, rising to her feet before pulling me to my feet.

We walked back to our new home, hand in hand.
I felt that all eyes were on us as we walked back into Faith's tent.
I let her go inside to dress, whilst I waited outside.
Whilst I was waiting, Thomas, Minho and Fry appeared, a round of hugs being shared between us.
"What's up man?" Fry said and I sighed.
"I want to marry her." I said and all three's mouths dropped open, and their eyes went wide.
"Damn." Fry grinned and gave me a second hug.
"Are you sure? We've just been given this hope of life, you never know what's around the corner." Minho said, but I immediately shook my head.
"There's going to be no one like her. Ever. I'm sure of it. There is no one I will ever love more than her." I smiled.
"We're so young. I mean I know we don't know for sure but what, we can't be more than twenty? I'm saying we're twenty, happy twentieth birthday everyone, Newt we can be twenty one because we seem older to me. Faith we're twenty, your boyfriends twenty one!" He continued, making everyone laugh.
"Ok! Happy birthday guys!" Faith yelled from inside the tent, making all of us laugh harder.
I wiped my eyes from laughing so hard and I had to breathe deeply to calm myself.
"I love her now, i'll love her in ten years, and i'll love her in a hundred years. My life was almost taken away from me and I was gifted with it back. I can't let this moment go. Besides i'm not saying I'll marry her now, I'm merely promising her that I will marry her in the near future" I smiled and each of them nodded.
"You've taken the best one of them all, selfish shank." Thomas said whilst wrapping his arms around me.
"And don't I know it."
