Digging Deeper (Newt x Reader TMR Fanfiction PART 2)

chapter 4

I wake up the next morning on the floor. I vaguely remember falling off the bed. Yawning, I sat up and lie back down on the bed. I stared at the ceiling as I hear my door open and Xena walk in.

"Well good morning!" she exclaimed. "You look like you just woke up."

"That's because I did just wake up," I yawned, sitting up to look at her. I feel a sharp pain in my back and immediately lay back down, moaning in pain.

"What's wrong?" Xena asked. "You look terrible."

"My back hurts so bad," I replied. "I fell off the bed last night and must've hurt it."

"Well take it easy today," she said as my stomach growled. "You need some food. Come on. Let's go." She takes my hands and helps me out of bed, the pain in my back becoming worse. I ignore the pain and walk to the cafeteria with Xena's arm linked in mine.

We bumped into Mabel as we turn a corner and I remember our adventure in the vents the previous night. She looked at Xena and then me, as if she were asking me if I told her. I shake my head no to let her know I didn't. I knew if I told her she would think we're crazy and try to defend Janson. Without saying a word, Mabel walked off in the opposite direction.

"I told you she was weird," Xena said, watching her walk away. "She never did like me. I don't know why." She re-linked her arm with mine and we continued walking.

"Oh geez," Xena said beside me, as I took a bite of my bacon.

"What?" I asked, following her gaze. She was looking at Harriet with a blonde girl next to her and they were both heading towards us. "They seem really interested in me, don't they?" Xena was about to say something when the girls approached.

"Hi, Y/N," Harriet said, smiling at me. "You haven't met my friend and second in command, Sonya." She gestured to the blonde girl, who looked familiar.

"Hi," she said with a little wave, her accent reminding me of the boy from my dreams. The one I couldn't remember the name of.

"Hi," I said, feeling awkward. I never was good at talking to people or making friends.

"Have you gotten any memories back about your maze?" Sonya asked, sitting down across from me. Harriet sat down next to her. I stared at her brown eyes, trying to remember where I've seen her face before. Everything about her seemed familiar.

"Uh," I stuttered, not knowing what to say. Or what I should tell them. "I just remember names and faces. Not much. Sorry."

"That's totally fine!" Sonya exclaimed. "Don't worry about it. Just let us know when you remember more. We're curious to know if yours was like ours." She smiled at me before standing up and leaving with Harriet right next to her.

"Okay, that was weird!" Xena whispered. "They completely ignored me!"

"Calm down," I laughed. And then it hit me. She reminded me of Newt. The boy with the gorgeous blonde hair and beautiful chocolate brown eyes. My Newt. The one I loved with all my heart. How could I ever forget the most important thing in my life?
