The Maze Runner Imagines: Newt (Thomas Brodie Sangster) Book 2

The Other Side Of Paradise

This place of ours, soon became known as paradise.
And I suppose in some ways it was.
A paradise away from wicked.
A paradise away from the flare.
Away from infection.
Away from the sun.
The riots.
The death.
The destruction.
And all other horrors we had witnessed and injured.
I never called it paradise myself, it was a lovely place I couldn't deny, the sweet little houses and hammocks, the rocks and sand, the gardens, the binfires, the unspoken understanding that we all went thought something all lost those cases for, we all knew that all of us in our own way had been though hell and back.
I liked the place but I always found myself in the beach looking across the vast ocean
"Hey y/n" I heard behind me and I didn't even need to look up
"Hey Minho"
"How you doing?" He asks coming over and offering me a drink but I refused
"Rough."
"That's fair, you don't like it here? Do you?"
"Honestly? No. I don't."
"Why not?"
"As much as I'm happy to be here, with all of you, I just... I feel empty."
"We all miss them y/n, knowone expects you to come around instantly, take your time. We're all here for you" he says before heading back to camp, but the truth was, I didn't want to stay here, I loved minho, and gally, and Thomas, and all our other friends but... I know I can't stay here.

I woke up in a little medical hut at first I thought it had failed and was expecting the disappointed looks in there faces but I sat up seemingly like I wasn't hurt at all. I walked out seeing paradise similar but different,
"Hey? Your awake?" I turned and saw a bun of familiar dark hair
"Hey Teresa" I smiled widely
"Hey, we've missed you"
"I missed you guys too" I smiled giving her a tight hug "guess I made it then"
"Yeah, come in I'll show you around" she says leading me thought this place seeing so many freinds I had lost
"Y/n!" I heard a voice call out and little Chuckie ran to me hugging me close "I missed you big sis"
"I missed you two little guy" I laughed hugging him close too
"You should suprise him, he doesn't know your here yet" he laughs
"Suprise who Chuckie?"
"Hes in the gardens" he laughs before heading off somewhere else to do something, Teresa has to head off to something else to do, so I walked thought the fresh green grass, past wooden buildings by the sea, till I reached the gardens with little plants and flowers growing and there stood a sight that made me want to cry, he stood caring for a plant, in his loose light brown pants, a dark orange shirt the sleaves rolled to his elbows, his fair fluffy and glinting in the sunshine,
"Newt?" I asked making him stop short looking up he saw me and smiled widely tears in his eyes dropping his stuff I instantly ran into his arms and kissed his sweet lips, he still tasted the same, like mud, tea and soap. I had missed everything about him his skin, his hands, his body, his lips, his taste, his smell, his... Everything. He kissed me back as egarly as I kissed him wrapping his arms around my waist sitting them on my waist and hips as we always did I rested mine in his chest before I pulled away
"I missed you so much love"
"I missed you too" I cried nuzzling into his chest he cried a little to resting his head on mine "but newt? What is this place?"
"... Welcome to the other side of paradise love" he smiled kissing my head "we just have to wait for everyone else to get here too" he smiled
"I love you newt"
"I love you too y/n, come on I'll show you our hut" he smiled
