Sonder - Newt TMR

40

It was a busy day, and I was all over the place trying to do about eight things at once including helping out in the medhut that day.  

Alby always had a long 'to do list' for me that seemed like it was never ending. 

It was nearly dark and I had been working non stop since before the sun came up. 

Hardly any sleep, nothing to eat... just non stop work.  

I was exhausted and starving. 

I was growing more irritated by the second. 

"Hey, did you look at-" Alby barged in. 

"The gate, yes and I fixed it.  I restocked the runners packs for tomorrow and I traced the mapping from yesterday that the runners gave me.  I sharpened all of Frypan's knifes, and I restocked the medhut." I told him. 

"What about tightening the pullies in the slaughter house?" Alby asked. 

"I haven't gotten around to it." I said back. 

"You're the only one with small enough hands to do it.  It needs to be done." He spoke very harshly. 

"Alby, I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off all day and-" I argued back, but he cut me off. 

"Get it done." He spoke harshly again, before turning and walking away.  

Wow. 

Fucking.

Wow.

That was it, the kettle was officially boiling over.  

I stood up, grabbing the nearest thing I could get my hands on, and throwing it against the wall. 

I let out a terrifying scream, as I was throwing anything and everything I could get my hands on. 

I even pushed one of the heavy cots across the room. 

I hadn't even realized that Minho and Gally had came in, until they were grabbing ahold of me and lifting me into the air. 

My body went calm now, as they carried me to the pit. 

I didn't fight back, I didn't say anything. 

I had it out of my system now. 

I sat down on the cold ground inside the pit, looking through the make shift bars made out of branches. 

"You alright?" Gally asked me, his voice laced with concern. 

"Yeah, I'm sorry..." I said sheepishly.

"Why did you....?" Minho trailed off. 

"Everything I guess." I mumbled. 

"...they let me out after a few minutes to ensure that I was fine." I finished my story. 

"Yeah, you should have seen what that medhut looked like." Minho ran his hand through his hair. 

"Oops." I laughed nervously. 

"Like a hurricane went through?" Thomas chuckled. 

"Yeah, but I cleaned it all up. Well, I had to have Gally and Minho move that cot back. Man, I don't know how I even moved that thing in the first place."

"Adrenaline is a crazy thing." Minho patted my shoulder, "but something should have been done before you got to that point.  Alby took you for granted, what you all did. We all did."

Everyone nodded. 

I felt seen, I felt heard. 

That's when the lock on the door buzzed, clicked, and the door flew open. 

"Breakfast." The guard said, as he nodded for us to follow him. 

As we walked through the halls, Newt stepped besides me. 

His hand traveled around my waist softly, as he pulled me closer. 

"I think you look really beautiful." Newt smiled at me, as he gave my hip a squeeze.
