The maze runner: If I live (Newt x reader)

Chapter 16

Y/N

I didn't sleep at all last night, I just lay on my bed with my knees tucked up into my chest. I don't think I can physically cry any more, It's like my throat has just given up from making any sound. I have been thinking about a plan since Gally carried me back here, and I think I have a pretty good one. I have to go into the maze after Thomas and Minho otherwise they will catch me. I will run into the maze and try to search as much as I can to find him. I had to act as if nothing was wrong in breakfast otherwise my cover was blown. I got up out of bed and went to breakfast directly, as I had my clothes from yesterday on. As soon as I walked in everyone looked at me and made pitying faces. "Sorry buddy" Gally said to me as I sat down next to him, giving me a side hug. "Thanks Gall" I said sitting next to him, looking down at the plate of pancakes in front of me. I smiled at Fry shouting over to the kitchen "Fryyy, you didn't have to". "Shut up Y/n, you deserve it" he shouted back to me, placing a hand over his mouth. I looked back down again to the pancakes and I wolfed everything down in minutes, resting my feet on the table and licking my fingers after. I got up and walked off, knowing no one would follow, or call me back today. As soon as I was out of the kitchen's sight, I started running all the way back to my hut, where I shut the door roughly behind me, leaning on it a bit. I ran towards my bed and took only 3 things. My tool belt, my dagger (that Gally gave me for protection, in case...) and my hat. I went to run out of the door but then I ran back in, changing quickly into a pair of jogging leggings and a sports bra. I ran BACK out of the door and quickly ran over to the doors, taking one last look at the glade for maybe the last time, and ran into the maze. I heard someone scream "Y/N!" behind me (probably Gally) but I didn't look back, I just kept on running.

As soon as I did, a cold draught ran across my face and danced among my hair, whipping me in the face. I brushed away, regretting my clothing choice for a freaking maze! I wrapped my arm around my knife and slowly approached the first turn, trying not to make a sound. I walked round the turn, choosing to turn left, as the wind suddenly disappeared and the lack of contact gave me goosebumps.

I woke up, gasping for air as my lungs seemed to have almost closed up. I sat up painfully holding my chest as it heaved up and down, and I looked down at my hands and saw that my veins were showing and they were purple and blue. My whole body hurt as I slowly got up from my wall as I looked, from blurry eyes out to the sunrise beyond the maze. I could barely hear, barely see and yet I could feel a pain so indescribable in every single part of my body. It felt like being stabbed again and again and again but in different places every time. I looked out to the corner of my wall and I saw the drop that could so easily put me out of my misery.
