May contain spoilers if you don't know how Newt got his limp.❤️
Lucy gasped as she saw the trail of blood coming from Newt as Alby dragged him into the homestead.
She ran out of the gardens and flew through the door after them.
She entered and saw Newt lying on one of the make shift beds with Clint and Alby standing over him.
"What the hell happened?" She said while looking over Newt's wounds.
Alby's head turned towards her, a mix of pain and anger on his face.
With a clenched jaw Alby shook his head.
"Your friend here is a shukin slinthead."
"Alby." Clint warned while dabbing Newt's head with a wet cloth.
"What?" Alby growled, "it's true, he's an idiot."
"Alby stop." Lucy said as she moved closer to Newt.
She kneeld down beside him and put her hand on his arm.
"What happened to you, huh?"
Newt's eyes opened and a tear slid down his cheek.
"Nothing." He whispered.
"Sure." She said, standing up.
Lucy turned to Alby, who was looking at the floor.
"Was he attacked?"
Alby continued to stare at the ground, not meeting her eyes.
"No."
"Then what the shuck happened?."
After not receiving an answer she growled.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on." She shouted while throwing her hands up.
"I know as much as you do okay, so just calm down." Clint answered.
"No! I wont calm down because something is obviously wrong with him an nobody is telling me shit!"
"Get out!" Newt shouted at Lucy, "Please just get out."
"Newt I..." she trailed off.
"Now!" He shouted, close to tears.
Lucy nodded and backed out the door.
She ran down the stairs, out the door and across the glade.
She ran around the back of the kitchen and sank to her knees.
She sat there crying for god knows how long until a hand touched her shoulder.
"Lucy?" Minho said as he sat down with her.
"What in shucks name happened to you?"
"Newt." She choked, "I only wanted to help but they didn't tell me what happened."
At her words Minho sighed.
"Lucy, Newt's been through a lot okay, give the guy a break, he'll tell you what's going on when he feels up to it."
She rested her head on his shoulder.
"So I'm guessing you know."
"Yeah." Minho replied.
"And you're not going to tell me because it's up to Newt and Alby will feed you to the grievers if you do."
"Bingo." He chuckled.
They sat there for a while until Alby walked round the corner and made a b line for Lucy.
"Lucy, Newt wants to talk to you."
She left Minho and followed Alby into the homestead and up to Newt.
She walked through the door to see Newt sitting on the bed with his head in his hands and a bandaged foot.
She sat beside him and put a hand on his arm but only to have him flinch at her touch.
"I'm so sorry." He said, his voice cracking.
Her brows furrowed.
"You don't need to be sorry."
"But I do Lucy, for everything. For shouting at you and upsetting you."
"And for this." He said, pointing at his foot.
"Newt, please just tell me."
"You'll hate me." He sobbed
"No way." She replied as she leant against him, "plea-"
"I jumped." He whispered, barely audable.
"You what?" She said.
"Off the maze, I climbed up the vines and I jumped, but it wasn't high enough." He cried as he pressed the palm of his hands into his eyes.
"Newt..." was all she could say.
"I wanted to die, I couldn't take it anymore. I just needed it all to stop. Im sorry."
Tears streamed down her face, her effort to keep them in had failed.
"It's okay." She choked.
"It's not okay because now everyone hates me, they think I'm a coward."
He sobbed.
Once the words left his mouth she faced him and cupped his face in her hands.
"Nobody hates you, nobody could ever hate you."
She took her ands away and rested them on his shoulders.
Newt rested his forehead against hers and they just sat there, in silence.

Honestly I'm pretty proud of this but I'm totally sad about the subject.
