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

Chapter 5: Words and Screams

Newt's POV:

She ran in before I could grab her. I screamed her name "Y/N! Get back here before the doors close!". But, she pushed Minho and Justin through the walls before they closed and didn't make it out. Jeff and Clint took Minho and Jeff to the med-jack hut while everyone else including me me, stared at the wall in shock and fear. I sank to my knees knowing that I lost her.

To be honest, I really care about her and being the only girl in the glade isn't the reason. She was very hardworking, very brave, very funny too. And now I am afraid that I will never hear her laugh or her beautiful face ever again. I may have just met the girl, but getting to know her made me feel like I've known her a lot longer.

I saw that she had dropped a paper on the ground. I picked it up as tears stung the surface of my eyes. I unrolled it and saw a bunch of writing on it. I think it's what you call a poem or a s

The writing said:

I can't be alone here
I can't be the only one who feels like i'm going nowhere
Just wishing somehow this dream will carry me
And I swear just one last time
They say the world is yours so I'm making mine

Cause nothing is stopping you
You could set the world on fire
Nothing is stopping you
And if I go out, I'll go out screaming

It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing

Tears ran down my eyes as I read these words which were both true and heartbreaking, then it shattered even more when I heard an ear piercing scream coming from the maze.

Your POV

Once the doors closed, I tried to find a place to hide. I was searching the walls and found a hole in one of the walls that were covered in ivy. I hid myself under there and didn't move a muscle.

I heard the clicking and growling of the griever come near me. I covered my mouth so it couldn't hear me as I took long and shaky breaths. 

Then, all of a sudden, something jabbed at me. I screamed in shock as it barely missed me by a hare. The scream was so loud that I'm pretty sure that the gladers heard it. 

Newt. Newt. Newt probably thinks I'm dead! Well, I mean Everybody thinks I'm dead!

I checked myself for a weapon before any other thoughts took over my mind and I felt a knife in my pocket that I remember playing with in the med-jack hut. I took out and stabbed at the needle/stinger once it tried to jab at me again. 

I chopped off the stinger and came out of the whole. The Griever was big and ugly like a cross between a spider and a scorpion. It tried to bite my head off, but I ducked out of the way and stabbed it with it's own stinger on the side. It screeched in pain. Then I decided to finish the job.

I stabbed my knife in it's head and it collapsed to the floor, motionless like a toy. I slouched to my knees beside it, taking a deep breath in. Now I knew what I had to do If I met any more of this guy's friends.

Newt's POV

My heart shattered as I heard the scream because a Grievers screech took place right after it. Then all was silent. Alby came to me and pat my shoulder. "Come on, Newt. We should go to bed."

Bed? Bed! I can't sleep now! We just lost the first girl glader EVER and Alby is worried about sleep? I think I'll pass on that one.

"How can you say that?" I said sternly. "We just lost another Glader. But, not just a normal glader. Our first girl glader who has worked very hard. Harder than most of us! We are assigned one out of ten jobs and she did six out them all! We can NOT just turn our backs on Y/N."
