Aversion (The Maze Runner, Newt / Sequel to Violation)

1 - We've Been Saved

"Goodnight, love."

Wendy sent him one last sleepy smile before she followed the woman out of the room and into a new dormitory across the hall. The girl sent a glare as the woman pushed her inside and shut the door with a slam.

"I want to punch her too." she heard another voice speak, and she looked over and saw Teresa already lying in bed. Wendy grinned, at least she had her, before she walked over and climbed up the top bunk.

"At least you're here, I mean, it's bizarre that they can't let us be in there with the people we know and trust." Wendy groaned as she sank into her bed, the lights turning off on their own seconds after. "What do they expect us to do?"

Teresa laughed below her, "Go to bed, Wendy."

"Love you too, Teresa." she sang before she turned over on her side and pulled the covers over her body. But right after, all of the worst thoughts exploded in her head.

She still couldn't believe Chuck was dead. She still expected the guy to walk through the door with a grin and flushed cheeks at any time then, but she knew it wouldn't happen though. She saw the life leave his eyes, she saw Gally kill him, but she didn't want to believe it. She didn't want to, because the moment she closed her eyes, she saw him breathing his last words. She saw him spitting out blood after, she saw Gally fall to the ground as if he were merely asleep. She couldn't close her eyes without seeing their bodies and their faces contort into an expression one last time. She couldn't do it, and soon, the tears fell. Wendy was strong, and she still was, but she couldn't take it at that moment.

The girl climbed down from her bed, choking in sobs as best as she could so she wouldn't wake Teresa as her feet touched the floor. She saw Jeff's face, and Chuck's face, and Alby's face. She saw all of them dead as she slowly tip toed out of the room, trying not to wake Teresa before she closed the door behind her. She was surprised it wasn't locked to say the least and that the staff weren't around as she walked over to the boys dormitory. Soon, she walked in and made her way to the pair of bunks she was originally going to sleep in, standing in front of the bottom one until Wendy felt someone sit up and pull her into their arms, instantly knowing it was Newt as he embraced the girl, one hand running through her brown hair and the other holding her small body with his. She cried into his chest, and Newt let a few tears leave his eyes too before he pulled away and made the girl meet his gaze.

"Look at me, Wendy." he said as her eyes drifted away, but then they snapped back to his. "We'll get through this. Together. I swear we will. Because you know what? I love you. I know it hasn't been long, but the memories are coming back, flashes here and there, and I remember you. I remember loving you."

Wendy smiled at him through the tears, her vision making everything mesh together, but none the less, she finally blurted out her feelings. "I love you too. I'm such a mess right now."

She blinked and saw Alby's face again, and everything crashed down on her again. Newt coaxed her before he slowly made the girl lie down in his bed. Newt climbed in after her and pulled the blankets over the two, Newt pulling the girl into his chest as he threw an arm around her body.

"You're the best." Wendy choked out, and Newt kissed the back of her head.

"I love you too."

The two slowly drifted to sleep after, Newt holding the girl to him with much love as Minho laid awake one bunk bed away. The Glader hadn't fallen asleep yet and he heard everything, his hands clenching each other's when he heard Wendy's cries die down softly. He still loved the girl, since the beginning he had, when she came up the box. It was like he became a better and happier person when he first saw her, but she was Newt's and Newt was hers and Minho stood no chance.

He would have to learn to live with it.

Or he could win her back.

It was currently six a.m when Wendy snuck back into hers and Teresa's room, her eyesight blurry and face sticky with dried tears from nine hours ago. She looked in and saw that the other girl was still sleeping as she climbed back up and onto her bed.

Wendy fell asleep for another hour before she felt something be pushed into her arm. The girl snapped open her eyes and sucked in a deep breath, feeling a hot liquid be compressed into her blood stream in seconds. She looked over just in time to see an unfamiliar face plunge another needle into her skin, this one complete opposite from the other as the liquid made her body run cold.

"Newt..." she breathed out one last time before she heard Teresa scream below her and the darkness slowly take over her vision
