𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲 - Maze Runner, Newt

Chapter forty-one - Anxious

Nora's POV

I woke up and immediately saw that Newt wasn't lying next to me anymore. A little disappointed I got dressed and walked outside. All the Gladers were already doing their job as I walked over to the med-hut.

'There you are.' Clint looked at me and I frowned.

'It's one p.m.' Jeff added.

'One p.m?' I repeated. 'Why didn't anyone wake me up?'

The two boys shrugged and kept working.

At dinner, I joined Newt and Minho. I sat down across from them and looked at Newt.

'Why didn't you wake me up this morning?' I asked.

'Trust me, I tried.' Newt replied.

'You tried?' I repeated as I furrowed my brow. Minho let out a small chuckle. 'What?' I looked at him.

'You have interesting dreams.' He smirked.

'Interesting dreams- what?' I asked, not knowing what they meant. 'How do you know what happens in my dreams?'

'Well, you were kind of talking in your sleep, so..' Minho smiled and I felt my cheeks get red.

'I didn't say anything weird, right?' I immediately asked.

'Not really,' Newt laughed.

'You called me a mean hoe, said the Grievers were pink with horns, and called them Grievicorns.' Minho blurted out.

'Grievicorns?' I repeated. 'Oh god.' I buried my head in my hands in embarrassment.

Suddenly we heard some shouts coming from the wooden tower. I looked up and saw several boys standing in front of it. Quickly me, Minho, and Newt got up and ran over to the boys.

'Chuck, what's happening?' I looked at my cousin, who stood next to Thomas.

'Girls are awesome!' He laughed and pointed at the tower.

Multiple things, like fruits, were being thrown down to the boy's heads.

'Hey! Throw one more of those things and I'll- ow!' Gally got hit by an apple.

'I said leave me alone!' I heard a feminine voice yell.

'Take cover y'all! Take cover!' Boys hid under wooden things.

'I don't think she likes us very much.' Newt held his hand above his head, in case he would get hit.

'It's Thomas! It's Thomas!' Thomas yelled. I saw the girl leaning over the edge and looking at Thomas. 'I'm coming up okay?' He looked at Gally. 'Just me.'

Gally looked offended as Thomas started climbing up the ladder.

'I'm gonna go to bed.' Somehow I was still a little tired, even though I slept long.

'Okay. Goodnight, love.' Newt hugged me before I walked away.

The next morning I sat down in the med-hut. Logan got himself a cut, again.

'How's Alby doing?' He asked as I cleaned the cut.

'I don't know.' Jeff answered.

Logan didn't respond and looked at the cut, which was almost treated. Automatically I started tapping with my foot. I was anxious and didn't exactly know why. Though, I could think of a reason. I hadn't cut myself in a few days and that was good, but it made me tense. Multiple emotions had balled up in my stomach and I craved for relief. I had promised Newt to come to him again when I felt like doing it, but this time it felt like even Newt's comfort wouldn't even help.
