Maze Runner The Scorch Trials |Newt X Reader|

Y/N's POV
       "Watch out!" I shout to Landon as I shove him to the side. I race up the stairs turning into the doorway. My heart racing at the thought that those screams might be coming from someone I know. But no. I don't know this man. I watch as Jorge punches the man's bloody face again as he is helplessly tied up in a chair. "Where is the Right Army?!" Jorge yells. I'm assuming that's Marcus. The one with the broken nose and the black eye from Jorge's violent punches. "Y/N?" I hear someone question. My attention is brought over to a face I thought I'd never see again. "Y/N!" Minho says running towards me. He wraps his arms around me and stays there gripping the back of my head. I smile as I return the hug back to him. "What happened?" He questions as he lets go and looks into my eyes. I'm about to speak when I hear Thomas say my name. He does the same as he rubs my back. "Where did you go!?" He questions examining me for any marks. I smile as I say, "It's a long story." Brenda comes over and gives me a pat in the shoulder. "You scared us." She says smiling. Aris walks over and says, "I'm glad your safe." As all of our group, including Matt, greets me back, I notice Landon is still outside. "Guys. You might be mad, but someone helped me out when I was captured." Everyone looks at each other and they shrug. I walk out of the door and I look down at the stairs. I motion Landon to come up the stairs to meet everyone. "Everyone... this is Landon. He is from Wicked too. That explains these." I say pointing at his handcuffs. "Speaking of handcuffs, Fry. Do you think you can get them off of him? If you all want him to stay of course." I ask. Frypan smiles and nods. "You never fail to help someone in need Y/N." Minho says. It gets quiet for a second. "Landon?" I hear someone say. I turn to Matt as he is left standing in shock. "Matt!" Landon shouts as they both aggressively hug each other. "Wait. What?" Thomas questions. They let go of one another as they say, "We were in the Maze together." I smile. Who knew that would work out so perfectly? As I watch their reunion, I notice something. Something that makes my stomach drop. I look over to Minho with teary eyes. "Newt?" I question. Minho puts his head down and points to a set of stairs in the corner of the room. "Went up that way. He was devastated when he saw you didn't show up." Minho says and continues. "Go. I'll keep an eye on things. You need to see him." I nod as I rush my way to the stairs. As I'm running up, the memory of my brother committing suicide is brought to my mind. The anxious running I guess reminds me of that particular moment. I make it to the top as I see him sitting on the edge looking the opposite direction. "Oh my god! Thomas I thought I told you I'm fine!" Newt's beautiful voice rings in my ears as he yells standing up. He turns around and locks eye contact with me. "Is this some sort of bloody joke?!" He yells as I see the tear stains on his bright red cheeks. I shake my head as I stand there. He slowly takes one step at a time, making his way to me. "Y/N?" He questions as I nod and smile while joyfully crying. He runs my direction as he tightly encloses me in his arms. I hear his sobs in my ear as he detaches himself from me. He examines my body and asks, "Are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?" He pulls up my sleeve and sees a giant bruise that I didn't even know was there. "What is this from! Did you get bit? Scratched?Y/N! Answer me!" He says starring strait at the spot the Wicked guard and the Bald man grasped my arm back at Jorge's place. "Newt I'm fine. It's just a bruise from people grabbing me." I try and convince him. I watch as steam blows through his ears in anger. "Who hurt you?" He questions. "I'm fine Newt. Look. I'm right here." I say. "What happened?" He questions. I tell him the story and everything that happened up to this point. The guard, the cranks, the exposed group, Landon. He exhales loudly as he turns away and runs his fingers through his hair. "Newt?" I question. "I shouldn't have left." He mumbles as I'm barely able to make out what he says. "Newt you didn't know." I say as he turn back to me aggressively. "That's the problem Y/N! I had no clue and that's what could have gotten you killed! If I would have went with Thomas to get you, then maybe those things wouldn't have happened." He yells as I cringe my forehead. He's taking it all on himself. "Newt! You didn't know what was going to happen! Everyone was scared and I get that! This is not your fault!" I yell back to him. "But the problem is that I couldn't protect you!" He shouts. I lower my voice seeing as it's only making things worse. "Newt... I don't need you to protect me." I say as I stare into his dark brown eyes. "You don't need protection and I know that. It's the fact that I want to protect you... because I love-... you just don't understand." He says turning away from me. I quietly gasp as I stand there quiet. I walk behind him and I hug him from behind. I rest my head on his shoulder as I whisper into his ear. "I know you want to protect me. But there was nothing you could have done and I understand that. At least I'm here with you now. That's more than others can say. It's not your fault I was taken." I hear him sigh as I listen to his steady heart beat. Newt turns around and hugs me. "I'm just glad your safe." He says rubbing my back. We stand silently hugging one another as his comforting presence eases my grip and tension. "You know we're close right?" He says into my ear. "Close to freedom. The safe heaven." He adds. I step away from him as I grab his hand. "Come on. I want you to meet someone." I say smiling and walking to the stairs with my hand in his.
We get to the bottom of the stair well when we see Jorge still giving Marcus a piece of his mind. "Where's Bertha?" Jorge questions as he holds the collar of Marcus' shirt. "Not Bertha." He says coughing up some blood. I watch as Thomas and Minho grab their things. Minho rushes towards us and gives me my back pack. "We're taking his car. Jorge got Marcus to tell us where the Right Army is. But we have to go now if we want to make it to them." He says quickly walking back to Thomas. I throw the backpack onto my shoulders as I look over to Landon. They got his handcuffs off. "Alright everyone! Let's go! Quickly... before-." Thomas says when we all hear a noise. I look out the window to see Rex and his highness standing guard outside. They all point their guns up at Marcus' place. "Thomas! We have to go! Now!" I yell backing away from the window. "Fire!" I hear the woman say as the sound of gunshots fill the room. Newt grabs me and pushes me to the ground covering my head. "Go!" Thomas yells as everyone sprints for the stairwell. "Y/N lets go!" Newt yells picking me up and bringing me with him. As we leave the place, I hear screams coming from the room. "No! Don't leave me! Please! Don't leave me!" Marcus yells begging for us to take him. Newt opens the car door and helps me in. I look in the back window to see Rex walking toward the car with dedication. He starts to shoot at the car as I pull Newt inside the vehicle. We all duck our heads as the firing continues. I slam the door shut and I make my way to the front seat. "Jorge! Move!" I yell sitting in the drivers seat. "Keys! I need keys!" I demand as Jorge fiddles with the keys trying to get the right one. He hands me the key as I stick it into the ignition. "Do you know how to drive this!?" Minho questions me as I look at all of the buttons. "Nope!" I shout stepping on some kind of petal. We're sent flying backward toward Rex. A loud thud comes from behind us. Jorge starts laughing uncontrollably as he switches some gear shift from R to D. I shrug and push down on the petal once again but this time we're shot forward. I relax my arms as relief goes through my veins.
       "Y/N. Let me drive!" Jorge demands. I feel myself start to hyperventilate. "I don't know how to stop it!" I shout laughing. "Put your foot on the pedal!" Jorge yells pointing at the pedal my foot is on. "This one?" I question pushing my foot down on the pedal. Out of no where, the car's speed starts to accelerate. "Jorge! That didn't work! We're going faster!" I say as I hear Thomas laughing behind me. "Not that one! The one next to it!" He yells as I smile in realization. "Oh." I bluntly say as I slam my foot on the pedal. Everyone is sent flying forward as the car stops in its tracks. I hear the heavy breathing from everyone as I sit there in shock. "You... are... never... driving... again." Jorge says taking breaths in between his words. I slowly get out of the seat and get in the back seat of the car. I look at Newt as he is just smiling. "That was hilarious." Newt says with a sudden burst of laughter. "For you maybe." I say watching his eyes close. I feel happy watching him smile.
       Jorge continues to drive as I sit on the floor in the back seat. I look up at Newt to see him peacefully closing his eyes. We've been in this car for a little over 45 minutes. I look to my right and I see Minho sitting on the floor next to me. His head is leaned back as he tries to fall asleep. I watch as Thomas looks out of the window on the seat close to Minho. I hear the chatter of Matt and Landon catching up since they have been split up. Aris and Fry are having a conversation about weather we make it to the mountains today or not. Teresa and Brenda are sitting in the front with Jorge trying to figure out of their going the right direction. For once, I feel as if there are no problems. Some of us are able to sit back without worrying about cranks wondering around while we sleep. We're able to say we're away from Wicked's grasp for now. We're able to say we escaped. Out of no where, the car slows making a squeak sound that came from the car and woke up the ones who were on the verge of sleep. The car slows down to a stop as the smell of gas fills the air. And looks like I spoke to soon. "Why did we stop?" Minho questions. "We're all getting tired. The sun is going down and I think we set up a camp behind the car." Jorge says getting out of the vehicle. "Fry, can you get a fire started?" Newt questions looking back toward him. "If you can find sticks." He says. I step over Newt's legs as I open the car door stretching my legs. Newt gets out right behind me as he starts walking around looking for some sticks.
       With a couple sticks in my hand, I walk back over to Marcus' truck. I toss them into the pile we have been collecting since we got out of the car. In the corner of my eye, I see someone fall down to the sand. Looking over, I see Matt laying there motionless. "Matt?" I question. His body is left without movement. "Matt!?" I yell running over to him. Once the others see me, they all crash in my direction. I crouch down next him looking at his face. "Matt! Matt, wake up." I say checking for a pulse. I feel a slow beat as I feel relieved. "What happened?" Fry asks crouching down next to me. "I don't know, he just fainted." I say in a frantic state. This boy, we promised to protect and to take with us, could be taking his last breath. Out of nowhere, I feel Newt pick me up and hug me. He whispers into my ear, "Shh, everything will be alright. I know you care about him, but he's strong. Whatever's happening to him could be a minor problem that we can fix." He lets go of me as it hits me. "He's dehydrated! Quick anyone have leftover water?" I ask looking at everyone around him. They all shake their head. "I might!" I say rushing over to my backpack by the truck. I check my bottle to see a fourth of water in it. As I get back up to go over there, I'm stopped by someone. "Aris what are you doing? Let go." I say trying to wiggle my arm free. "Y/N, look. If we take the supplies and the car, we can get away from these people. It will be safer with just the two of us." Aris says looking back at the car. "Aris, what are you thinking! These people are your family!" I say a little louder to him. "No Y/N, their your family." Aris says as he starts to pull me to the car. "Aris, stop! My arm!" I shout in pain as he tugs at the bruised arm. "Hey!" I head someone shout behind me. I watch as Newt tears his hand off of me and shoves Aris to the ground. "What's your deal man!?" Newt says walking towards him. I hear footsteps show up behind me. Landon shows up and is looking for water. "Take this to him." I say tossing him the water. Landon catches the bottle and darts over to his best friend. I turn back to Newt as Aris is there on the sandy ground. I look at Aris with disbelief in my eyes. "What were you thinking?" I say walking over to him. Newt stops me behind him as I move his arm to get closer to Aris. "Aris, you hurt me. You tried to take me away." I say as he looks down. I reach out for his hand but he refuses to take it. He gets himself up by himself as I say, "We're all a family here Aris. But family doesn't turn their back on one another." Aris just walks away without saying anything. Before Aris was completely gone, Newt grabs the collar of his shirt. Newt pulls Aris close to his face. "If you so much as touch her again, you will regret it." Newt says as he pushes Aris back. Aris immediately runs around the car and sits down in the sand. Newt spins around and lifts my arm. "Oh my goodness." Newt says. "Is it bad?" I question. "You tell me." He says and rotates my arm towards me. I gasp as I see the area from my wrist to my elbow on my forearm is completely engulfed in a black and purple bruise. I look up at Newt's face. His face red in anger and frustration. "Newt, I'm okay! I promise" I say putting my hand on his shoulder. "What was that dumb ass thinking. He was the one who was with you from the beginning. Yet he's the one that hurt you." He says staring in the direction Airs went in. "Newt, I-." I try before I'm interrupted by someone. "Y/N, Newt! Matt is awake. We set up the campfire. It's getting dark so it might be a good idea to start heading this way." Thomas shouts for us. Newt gently grabs my hand and leads me over to the fire. Everyone is gathered around, even Aris. Nobody knows what happened. Nobody except Newt, Aris, and I.
       Newt and I sit down next to eachother on the blanket. I look over at Aris as he stares down at the fire. Then I glance over at Newt. He stares toward tie fire too, with anger in his eyes. I look around at everyone as they focus on staying warm. Newt takes off his brown jacket and drapes it around my back. He then puts his arm around me as I lean in closer to him.
