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

Chapter 10: Visiting Justin and Another Campfire Song

You got anxious and jumped out of the pit without Alby's help and ran to the med-jack hut. You slip by Jeff and Clint before they could say anything and go to your brother. He was restrained on his bed and was making grunting noises. "Y-Y/N" he managed to say. "I'm right here, Justin." you say going to grab his hand that was covered in blackened veins.

"D-Don't trust WICKED. WICKED is not g-good." he grunted, then yelped in pain. "J-Justin, what are you talking about?" You asked scared as he was trying to relieve his pain with his grunts of pain. 
"I r-r-remember." his voice rasped as he gestured you with his eyes to get closer to him. "Remember what?" you asked sitting next to him. Clint and Jeff were around the corner gazing at the two of you collaborating. "I remember you." he rasped,a tear rolling down his eyes. "I remember...your birthday is soon." 

Your eyes widened. "Justin, how can you remember such a thing. Your not well." you say offended. "NO, I REMEMBER!" Justin sobbed loudly. You flinch back a few steps before you notice the look in his eyes. You somehow remember him making that face...in that dream of yours. He was serious.

 "You're turning sixteen in a couple of weeks. The day before a new Greenie is coming out of the box."  his voice shook, the look in his eyes, begging you to believe him. "Okay, Justin. I believe you." you say taking his hand. "Really?" he asked before yelping in pain again. "Last night, I had a dream. I think it was a memory because I knew almost everyone there, and I don't think my brain is that worked up to create images like that." 

Justin smiled weakly. So, you remember?" he asked. "I don't know. Nothing about the dream seems familiar at all except for the people in it. You, Newt, Minho, and Frypan, I remember being there."

You told him the rest of the dream and he shed a silent tear. "That's all true." he whispered. "All of it. Don't trust them, Y/N. Don't trust WICKED. They control all of us." Justin mumbled the last few words before he drifted into a troubled sleep.

You sighed before Jeff came into the room. "It's best to leave him for now, Y/N. It's time to eat."
You nodded your head in response and kissed Justin's forehead. "What did he tell you?" Jeff asked as you were a step out the door. "His memories." you simply say as you walked out.

You headed to the Bonfire where all the gladers greeted you. You grabbed a bowl of Frypan's stew and sat by Newt and Zart. "So, did you finish the song?" Newt asked with a smirk. "As a matter of fact, I did." you reply after swallowing a bite. "You wrote another song?" Zart asked before biting into a piece of bread. "Yeah, I got bored in the pit and decided to finish what I had started." 

"Can we hear it?" Zart asked. "Please!" Newt pleaded. "Yeah, sure. Once everyone is done eating. I was sort of thinking to involve you guys in the song to. It'd be more fun that way." you said as you dug in to the piece of bread you were given.

Once everyone was done, you retrieved your guitar along with the music and placed it on a log (Carefully of course). You stood on one of the tables and announced. "Hey Guys!" you said getting their attention. "Hey, Y/N!" the boys said in response, to your surprise. "Okay, so I just spent the last fifteen boring hours or so finishing a song I begun to write before the maze incident. I also realized that music is a key to being calm and happy in the darkest and most difficult times. And I want you all to be happy so I decided to fit in some parts you guys can participate in."

The boys whooped and cheered as they agreed to your amazing idea. You spent the next five minutes teaching them their part. Frypan said he could throw a couple of beats during the parts without lyrics. You took in everyone's ideas and made them work.

You grabbed your guitar and stood on the table.

"Boys, I call this song...The Fire!"

You begin to vocalize slowly and lowly, then you gesture the other boys to start to. They sounded like a beautiful chorus and you were quite surprised. 

You gestured them to stop and started playing a faster beat on your guitar before you started singing:

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

Then you all sing together

And if I go out, I'll go out screaming

The beat slows down and you sing

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

Frypan starts beat boxing to the beats for several minutes

You: 
Cause nothing is stopping you
You could set the world on fire
Nothing is stopping you

All: And if I go out, I'll go out screaming

More beats-------

You:
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothin
It's all or nothing

The beat dies down slowly

You:
And it's here
Right Now
And you've been waiting for so long
Forget fear
And just run
Your past won't catch you now  

Everyone is dancing around and having fun as you finish the last words

You:
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing

There's another minute or two of beating and playing before you end it of with some vocalization. 

The song end and everyone cheers with pride and happiness. They boys (including Newt) jump on the table and lift you up chanting your name. "Y/N! Y/N! Y/N!"

They liked it! They really liked it! you think to yourself as you balance in the boys' grasp.

"Alright, alright everyone! Settle down! I hate to say it, but its time for bed." said Alby yelling over everybody. "Alby." you say as the boys sadly bring you down. "Can I give my brother some food? I'd hate to see him starve." you plead as he is motioning everybody back to homestead. "He's being banished tomorrow." Alby replied with a grim look upon his face.
"NO!" you yelled. He looked back at you in shock. "I mean, no. He can't just leave yet. He knows things, Alby. And I don't think he's lying. I think the griever sting made him remember." you say shaking your head.

"What makes you say that?" Alby asked with a raised eyebrow. "He told me he remembers us, before the maze. Apparently our dreams can connect to the memories we've forgotten. He told me that they control us."
"-Who?" Alby interrupted. "The creators." you reply. "He says that they can't be trusted." your voice seemed to drift off trying to remember every word he said. 

"When did he say your birthday was?" Alby said, changing the subject. "At the end of the month. A day or two before a new Greenie is supposed to arrive." you reply awkwardly. He nodded a grunt in response. "You better get to bed. You have to work hard tomorrow if you want your brother to stay at least until your birthday."

Your eyes lit up and a big smile grew on your face. "Thanks, Alby!" you squeal as you give him a hug. "Alright, alright." Alby said returning the hug.

You then tell Frypan that you needed another bowl for your brother and that it was Alby's orders (not really) and headed to the med-jack hut. You told Jeff to give it to him once he was conscious. You left the med-jack hut where Newt, to your surprise was waiting right outside for you.

A/N: Whoa! So that just happened...

ANYWAY the song that is used above is called "The Fire" by Puppet and the Eden Project. It  does NOT belong to me. Sorry if you think it did...
 I was listening to the song one day as I was working on chapter ideas and realized that this song was too perfect for the situation.

Yes, I made you talented because you ARE! Even if it doesn't reside in music you are still telented in every way, shape, and form. Don't let ANYONE tell our different!

Love you, my Greenies!
