You and Newt had been engaged for almost a month now. You were both getting impatient and anxious. But, you had to wait until the wedding had been fully planned out...by people who weren't you.
Jorge, Vince, Brenda, and Gally were the planners and you just had to agree with everything they said. You had the suspicion that wasn't how it was supposed to go.
You agreed to the fact that it would be a beachside wedding. And who the court was. You chose Brenda as your maid of honor and Harriet and Brenda as the bridesmaids. Newt chose Thomas as his best man and Gally as the ring barer. Which was what the both of you wanted.
But, you had to admit that everything that they came up with, you ended up loving the idea. But, the downside was that Jorge and Vince were arguing about who would be the minister to physically "marry" you and Newt. The both of them told you and Newt you had to be the ones to choose who it would be.
A week before the wedding should be taking place, you and Newt shared your opinions. You said. "I like Jorge, but I have a feeling Vince would fit the role better. He has the look, you know."
But, Newt had this to say. "Vince is a nice guy, but Jorge I have a feeling would put more emotion into his words and that's what I want. I want people to bawl when we say our I do's."
"-Hon, I think you have the two switched. I was bawling when Vince gave us the speech when we first got here to the Safe Haven. Vince is the best choice."
"-But, I like Jorge better..."Complete silence. You and Newt stare at each other. Not knowing what to do. Than you get the courage to speak up. "I have an idea. We still have a week, so why don't we mix things up and have both Vince and Jorge practice the speech, then at the rehearsal dinner both of them will give the speech to us and make a final vote based off the pros and cons of their performance."
Newt squinted his eyebrows, but after thinking about it for a moment, he smiled. "That's genius, love! And to be honest, Vince's speech left me in tears too because I didn't think I'd be there to witness it...speaking of which..."
He suddenly took your hand and dragged you to your guys' tent. "Newt, what's going on?" you ask. "There's something I should've shown you a long time ago. I've neglected to give it to you because I was scared."
"Newt, I-"As soon as you entered the tent, he went to a trunk and rummaged through it. He took something out and went up to you. He showed you a necklace.
"This was the same necklace I gave to Tommy when I was...infected."
You give him a confused look, then he takes the base of the necklace and unscrews it. Inside are two small pieces of paper.
"I wrote a letter to Thomas and one...for you. In my mind it would be my last words to you if I...didn't make it."
"Newt..." you say uneasily.
"-I know, but I want you to read the one I gave Thomas first. After he read it the first time, he gave it to me and gave me permission to show you...because he looked at the one I wrote for you as well, which is only fair. Please, Y/N, please."He was holding the note in front of you. You look at the crumbled piece of paper, then slowly take it. You open it and start to read.
Dear Thomas,
this is the first letter I could remember writing. Obviously, I don't know if I wrote any before the Maze. But even if it's not my first, it's likely to be my last. I want you to know that I'm not scared. Well, not of dying, anyway. It's more forgetting. It's losing myself to this virus, that's what scares me. And losing Y/N too. So every night, I've been saying their names out loud. Alby. Winston. Chuck. And I just repeat them over and over like a prayer, and it - And it all comes flooding back. Just the little things like where the sun used to hit the Glade at that perfect moment right before it slipped beneath the walls. And I remember the taste of Frypan's stew. I never thought I'd miss that stuff so much. And I remember you. From the first time you came up in the box, just a scared little Greenie who couldn't even remember his own name. But from that moment you ran into the Maze, I knew I would follow you anywhere. And I have. We all have. If I could do it all over again, I would. And I wouldn't change a thing. My hope for you: when you're looking back years from now, you'll be able to say the same. The future is in yours and Y/N's hands now, Tommy. I know you'll both find a way to do what's right. You always have. Take care of everyone for me. Especially my Y/N. Try to keep her happy. And take care of yourself. You both deserve to be happy. Thank you for being my friend. Goodbye, mate.
~Newt.You were crying silently. "I still say their names." Newt said. "Every night like clockwork. When you fall asleep. Keeps them alive in my heart. Ready for your letter?"
You nodded violently. He handed a different piece of paper to you, which you opened eagerly and read it.
Dear, my precious Y/N,
By now you know I have caught the virus and was unable to...survive. I'm sorry I couldn't hang on. I wasn't afraid of death, but of being lost to the virus. I didn't want you to see me turn, even if you did it'll leave a scar, but scars do heal eventually. And I want you to know that my love for you is bigger than the universe. You mean everything to me. But, I don't want my death to interfere with the life you try to make for yourself once you reach the Safe Haven. The others will always be there for you. Frypan to cook you food when you feel down. Gally being an overprotective brother figure he was back in the maze. Minho being your supportive best friend and link to laughter. Thomas to talk to whenever you need someone to talk to. Brenda being like a sister figure to you. Harriet, Sonya, and Aris as your best mates who would do anything for you. Vince and Jorge being your father figures. You may not know it, even with your brother dead. But, you have family. Family that will support you and be with you the whole journey. You made me the luckiest man alive and I want you happy with or without me. Never forget. We've all went through that more than we have to. I love you so much it's hard to explain. Don't worry, we'll see each other again someday and soar with the stars as beautiful as the light in your eyes.
I'm not saying goodbye, just saying how much I'll miss you until we meet again.
~Your sweetheart forever more,
NewtYou went from silently crying to bawling. Newt was holding you and you were crying in his arms. "I knew I shouldn't have-"
"Shush!" you interrupt. "I'm not crying because I'm mad about the letter. I'm crying because what you said was right. I may have not really known it, but I have family. Family that were with me the whole time. I thought there was a difference between friends and family, and i loved friends more...just to find out that these friends are my family. But, now I realize how valuable life is, even when so many have lost theirs. Now knowing that you're saved, makes me more thankful than anything. Thank you for showing me this letter, babe. It taught me a lot."Now Newt was crying. "I never wanted to think about losing you. When writing the letter, I wanted so badly to throw away and rewrite, but I didn't want myself to think that I was a loss for what to say to you. I should've told you about the letter a lot sooner."
You looked into his teary eyes and nodded. "I agree with that part, but that doesn't make this moment any less precious than it would have been if you showed me sooner."
He hugged you tightly for a long moment. Then you say in mid-hug "You know, I believe we still have a wedding to plan..."
Newt chuckled and kissed your head. "Ok, love. Let's do some more planning."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A/N: HOI MY GREENIES! SORRY, I SHOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO UPDATE AROUND MONDAY-TUESDAY, BUT...I GOT MY DUMBASS SICK AND WHEN WE GOT TO URGENT CARE, THE DOCTOR COULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME...I THOUGHT I WAS SCREWED!!!
I was tested for Flu and mono (aka the kissing disease) because I had a sore throat, but wasn't coughing. They tested me for mono by pricking my finger and collecting blood. If you're afraid of needles, this is nothing. It was like a tiny rectangle think and it felt like it was clicking on my skin. I FELT NOTHING AT ALL!!! I didn't even realize she did it until my finger started bleeding. It didn't even hurt afterwords.
Luckily I didn't have EITHER Flu or Mono. THANK GOD!!!!
But, at my house I was treated like I had a deadly disease that could kill mankind (like the Flare) and couldn't come out of my room unless I had to go to the bathroom. And when I did, I had to carry a box of wipes with me and wipe down EVERYTHING I TOUCHED!!!
Yeah...wasn't fun....OTHER THAN THAT!!! I NEED YOUR GUYS' HELP!
dO YOU GUYS WANT VINCE OR JORGE TO PERFORM THE WEDDING??? I WANT YOUR GUYS' OPINION AND I'D TRULY APPRECIATE IT.PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS ON THAT BELOW POR FAVOR!
LOVE YOU GUYS!
