How to Save a Life: Newt x Reader (EDITED)

Chapter 3: The Bonfire

3rd POV

For the rest of the day, you helped Newt in the gardens. He taught you how to make baskets for seeds, pulling weeds, and watering the plants. You officially met Alby, who was a tall African-American who had on a white shirt and jeans. As you wiped some seat off your forehead, you noticed two boys come out of the gap of the wall which was the entrance of the maze.

Newt tapped you on the shoulders. "Those are two of the runners. Minho and Ben."
You nodded your head in understanding as the doors of the maze shifted close.

The sun was no longer visible. It had slipped through the walls of the maze. Gladers lit torches and through it at a bonfire and cheered. 

You were sitting by yourself on a log as you were having deep thoughts. You removed your bandage and threw it, rubbing the mild pain away. Newt slumped down next to you. "Why so shy, Greenie?" he asks. 

"I'm not shy. I just needed a moment to myself as I'm trying to think." You said looking down at the stew Frypan made. "What are you thinking about?" Newt asked curiously as he lifted his eyebrow. "How did we even get here? Why is this happening to us?"

"Look, Greenie. All I know is that each month the box comes up with new supplies and a new Greenie. None of us no why we're here, but we think that we have to find a way out of this maze if we are ever to really get out of here."

"If the box only comes up once a month, does that mean that when this whole maze thing started, only one person came up and they had to spend a whole month in the Glade alone?" you ask. "Yes." Newt replied. "And I'm guessing that-"
"-Alby." Newt interrupted. "Alby was the first in the glade. Imagine having to spend a whole month in the glade by yourself having to do everything by yourself."
"Alby must've been worst than any of us starting out as the first." you say with a bit of guilt and sadness.

"Alright, enough of the moping around. After all, you are the guest of honor." Newt says with encouragement and a hand. 

Again with the hand?  you asked yourself

He took you to the bonfire where Gally was fighting other gladers in the circle. "Want to give it a shot, Greenie?" Gally asked as he finished off a glader who was off to the med-jack hut. 

"I think I'll pass." You say to him. "Come on, I'll go easy on you." Gally said with a smirk. "And who said that I'm no stronger than you?" You asked lifting a brow. The glade was filled with ooohs from the other boys.

"It's cause you're a girl and I'm a guy. It's obvious that guys are stronger if a girl refuses to fight me." 
Again the gladers ooohed. "How would you know? You can't even remember the last time you saw a girl. I bet that before you lost your shanky little memory, you got beat up by a girl because of that mouth of yours." You say with an evil smirk.

The ooohs were louder than ever and you stepped forward as Gally took a step back. Newt grabbed your arm "Greenie, i don't think that's a good idea." he whispered. "I want to see what I'm made of, Newt. And I'm not gonna let this shank make me feel like the smallest of the group." you whispered back as you released yourself from the grasp.

You entered the circle and the boys surrounded you. "Are you sure you want to do this, Greenie?" Gally asked with another raised eyebrow. "Yes, I'm sure. But, let's make a deal." you said as the both of you circled each other. "If I win, You give me the respect that you lack to show anyone else around here."
"-And if you lose?" Gally asked with a smirk. "You get to choose my job for me." you think of at the top of your head.

"Deal." Gally said as he lifted his fists up to his chests, showing that he was ready. But, you just stood there, your arms at your side pacing around the circle, making straight eye contact with Gally. Newt covered his eyes so he wouldn't watch you get hurt.

He lunged at you, but you twirled out of the way and kicked his butt as you turned around and kicked him with your right leg. He fell to the floor and growled. The gladers cheered and Newt uncovered his eyes and looked at you in shock. Gally looked back at you with anger and shock, then got up and tried to grab you. You heard his steps and grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, turning around and kicking his lower back so he was back on the floor. Newt was now cheering for you "You go, Greenie!"

Gally landed with a grunt, but used his legs to slip you and you fell. He got out of your grasp and was now on top of you with his hands around your neck, choking you. You struggled to breath, but you had enough muscle freedom in your leg to kick him where the sun don't shine.

He yelped in pain and you turned yourself away as he gripped his crotch in pain. You got up and said "I win."

The glade filled with cheers and you knelt down next to him, offering him a hand. "I'll take you to the med-jack hut." 
Gally looked at you angrily, but then he kinda got scared as if he were afraid you'd do something to him if he didn't.

He took your hand and you helped him up. The circle of boys broke and you took him to the med-jack hut. You looked back to see Newt's jaw dropped in shock.

Once you got there, you looked in the cubbards and got out a wash cloth and warmed up some water. You dipped the cloth in the water and asked where he was bruised. He lifted his shirt to show you a bruise on his back. You lightly dabbed at the wound. Gally wanted to wince so bad, but he didn't.

Then you grabbed an ice pack that you made out pigskin and frozen water. Gally placed it embarrassingly on his crotch.

After a couple of minutes he took the ice pack off and nodded his head as a thank you. 
You headed back to the bonfire and a bunch of the boys congratulated you. You were shouting thank yous as much as you could to make sure that they could hear you over the yelling. Gally gave you a jar with a strange brown liquid.

You took it with a nod of your head and said "Here's to respect!"
"Respect!" the other boys repeated. You took a long drink, then realized that it tasted really bad. You spat it out into the bonfire while the others laughed at you. You groaned in disgust.

Then,a boy a few years older than you walks up. "What's your name?" he asked curiously. "Y/N!" you say kinda tipsy. The drink made you feel dizzy and you swayed. The boy looked at you with shock. "Y/N, It's Justin!" he said as if he was trying to get your attention of something you didn't know.

Then as you heard his name. Something in your mind clicked.

He was your brother! After all he did look some what like you, so it must be true!

"Wait, Justin?" you say as if you were stone cold sober. "Oh my god!" you say as he tackled you with a hug. "What's going on here?" Newt says as he joins you. "Newt, I have a brother!" you say happily. "Oh wow! No way!" Newt said surprised.

You couldn't get your mind on how you both knew each other by sight. But, I guess it was just a hint of a memory.

The rest of the night was full of dancing, laughing, and you getting to know your brother as he explained to you that he was the Greenie before you.

He told you that he was promoted a runner after you came, he pissed his pants when they got him out of the box (which made you laugh so hard you were rolling on the ground) and how that he has visions of distant memories of people and when he saw you, he recognized you from his dreams.

Maybe this place isn't so bad? you thought to yourself

A/N: UPDATED! Wow, you just kicked Gally's ass. Congrats you lucky Greenies! And you got yourself a brother! 

But, I'd watch out if I were you...
