The next morning, I feel Newt's arms wrapped around me. He wakes up early and smiles at the sight of me sleeping, but I'm starting to wake up a little bit. Newt caresses my head with his fingers and kisses my head. He gets up and meets with Alby and Minho at the maze doors. I look up and see them there. The maze doors start to open and then Minho and Alby run inside.
What the--? Did Alby just go into the maze? I thought.
Newt comes walking back me and notices me awake.
"Hey, good morning, love. You sleep well?" Newt says with a smile.
I nod.
"That's good." he replies.
"Um, why did Alby go into the maze...?" I ask him.
"He had to retrace Ben's footsteps before sundown." Newt answers.
"Oh. I hope they make it, though." I say worriedly.
Newt puts a hand on my shoulder reassuringly.
"They're gonna make it." he reassures.
"But, Alby's not a runner." I say.
"I'll tell you and Thomas about it later, alright?" Newt says.
I look down and nod.
"Okay." I respond.
Newt smiles.
*time skip*
"Alright, why would Alby go into the maze? I mean he...he's not a runner." Thomas asked.
"I asked the same thing." I said.
"Alby had to retrace Ben's footsteps before sundown. Look, are one of you two gonna help?" Newt asked us.
"So, he's just gonna go exactly where Ben was just stung?" Thomas asked in concern.
"Look, Alby knows a lot better than any of us." Newt replies.
"What does that even mean?" I ask.
"Alright, it's like you both heard, yeah? Every month, the Box sends up a new arrival. Someone had to be first. Someone had to spend a whole month in the Glade alone. And that was Alby. I mean, it can't have been easy for him, but, as soon as those other boys started coming up, he saw the truth. And he realized that the most important thing is that we all have each other. Cuz we're all in this together." Newt says.
My heart starts beating at his inspiring words and I look at him in awe. Then I look at Thomas and then Chuck and I smile as Newt's words echo in my head that we all have each other and we're all in this together.
Thomas and I go over to Newt and Zart and help out.
"Yeahhhhh. There you go, Greenies. Well, Greenie and girl-Greenie." Newt says jokingly.
I chuckle at that.
Newt chuckles back.
All of a sudden, Thomas spots a storm cloud heading our way.
*time skip*
While it's raining, me and the rest of the Gladers take shelter in the woods while we wait for Minho and Alby to come back. I'm starting to get worried.
"They should be back by now. What happens if they don't make it?" Thomas asks Newt in concern.
"They're gonna make it." Newt reassures Thomas.
"But what happens if they don't?" Thomas asks.
"They're gonna make it." Newt says again.
I look at Newt worriedly. He wraps an arm around me and rubs my arm to reassure me that they're gonna make it.
