It feels like a eternity since I had moved out of Minho's arms but in reality, it had only been a few minutes before Minho began to shift. I release myself from Minho, finally forcing myself to look at Newts lifeless body. A part of me still had hope that when I look back at him, he would be smiling at me, his eyes shining brighter then ever. But that was never gonna happen.
My tears return as I look down at Newts lifeless body, eyes still open. With shaky hands I reach over and slowly close his eyes before placing my forehead on his chest.
A sob racks my body as I think back on all of the memories we shared together, all of the promises we made that we will never fulfill. It hurts. Bad.
"(Y/n)," Fry starts "we can stay here, we have to go..." he finishes, his voice nearly breaking at the end but held strong. "No..." I mumble.
"It's dangerous for us out here, we need to say our final goodbyes and go."
"I said no!" I yell as I look up at Fry, tears dried on his face. I have never seen him this hurt in my life and it makes my heart break even more, making me feel instantly guilty. "I'm sorry, but no. We can't just leave him here... he deserves better then that and we all know it." I finish as I look around. Everyone has their heads bowed down, the sound of explosions and gunfire louder then ever in this very moment.
"As much as I would like that" Gally starts "we can't stay here, Newt is gone. We just have to accept that. What we can do for Newt- what he would want us to do is go and be safe, find Thomas and go home." Gally says, tears brimming his eyes. From the stories I heard, Gally was crazy but that doesn't mean he never stopped caring about those he was in the maze with. I look back and Newt as I slowly nod my head.
I grab Newts face in my hands as I look at him. Even in death he looks at peace, like he knew this moment would come. I close my eyes as I lean forward and shakingly place my lips on top of his. His lips feel cold against mine causing a shiver to run down my spine.
I open my eyes as I pull away wiping away any stray tears.
I stand up, still looking at Newt before turning around and walking away not looking back, I can't look back. Not when he's like this. I walk past Minho, Gally, Fry and Brenda and begin my way towards the berg.
I get to the berg and completely ignore Jorge and Vince as they try and talk to me, wondering if I'm ok. I look up and see kids around. I walk into the berg and sit down, instantly letting my head lean back against the side of the berg. I reach my hand up to my temple, sliding my finger against it before remembering that I'm bleeding. I had almost completely forgotten about it. I let my hand slide down my face before finally resting in my lap. I jump slightly to the feeling of the berg flying up in the air, not used to the feeling.
I finally allow myself to look up and see Minho, his head in his hands as he breathes deeply. I slowly get up, making sure to keep my balance before walking over to Minho where I crouch down in front of him. He looks up and I offer him a small smile but it quickly disappears as soon as it came.
"You know" Minho starts, "in the scorch the only thing he would talk about was you. All the time. He never said it but I knew that as soon as we made it to the safe place he would have made sure to never leave your side again. He loved you so much (Y/n) and I hope you know that. I truly do."
I look down at the ground and begin to smile again, tears slowly streaming down my face. I feel Minho's hand come up to my cheek and wipe the tears away, causing me to smile even more, but it quickly ends when Minho's hand feel from my face.
"It should have been me." He says causing me to look up at him abruptly, "He has so much more going for him, you would be happier right now. You guys would go and get married and have kids and be happy." Before he could say anymore I cut him off.
"Don't say that. Don't do that to yourself. Yeah, me and Newt might have gotten married and had beautiful kids but, I know that this is what Newt wanted. He didn't want to leave us but I know that he would not be okay if anyone else was in the position he's in." I say, tears now streaming down my face. Newt was my love and will forever be but, Minho saying these things hurt so bad. He's my brother and I wouldn't change that for the world.
Minho looks up at me and nods, before I can say anything else the berg hatch is opening, causing me and Minho to shoot up from where we are. We both run to the opened hatch and look out.
I gasp at my sight.
Thomas and Teresa look up once they see us and Teresa begins to help Thomas walk over to the edge of the building, carrying most of his body weight. I furrow my brows as I try to get a closer look and see that Thomas has been shot.
No, not him to. I have lost to much tonight I'm not losing anyone else. I think as Vince ties himself to the berg to ensure his safety. I grab a railing on the side and begin to get closer to the edge. "I can't get any closer!" Jorge yells at the front of the berg, trying to keep it balanced.
"Thomas!" Multiple people, including me yell as Teresa drops him by the edge, she tries to lift him up again but he's fighting. He can't last much longer. Minho softly pushes me back and to the side as he gets on stomach with Vince and begins reaching his hand out as far as he can without falling out. I kneel down and grab Minho's shirt while my other hand holds the pole to ensure his safety. Nausea hits me hard as I begin to get dizzy, most likely from my temple wound but I shake it off and focus on what's at stake here. Thomas and Teresa can die and I will not let that happen. Not again.
"Get closer!" I hear Teresa yell and Jorge begins to get closer and closer to the building.
"Jump!" I yell as Thomas and Teresa knowing that we can't get any closer without putting the rest of us in danger. I watch as Thomas tries and tries to reach as Teresa holds him but it's not working.
The berg shakes as a part of the building explodes causing the berg to go slightly off balance as well as Thomas and Teresa. Me and Teresa make eye contact, tears welling in my eyes before she nods slightly. She picks up Thomas with all of her might,
Minho beginning to go even further out of the berg causing me to tighten my grip.
"Reach!" Minho and Vince say over and over again. Teresa knows that it's completely impossible so with all her might she pushes him onto the berg. Everyone grabs a hold of Thomas and begin to pull him up until we are all a safe distance away from the entrance. I slightly go back down for Teresa but Minho grabs my shirt causing me to stop. I look up at Teresa and see her looking at all of us before the building behind us crumbles down, causing her to fall down.
"Teresa!" Thomas tells as he reaches out slightly. Tears well up in my eyes slightly as she turns and looks back at us. She weakly stands, still looking at us as she smiles slightly. Before I can blink the building is falling and Teresa goes with it.
I let a tear slip out of my eye as I watch her fall. Sure, she betrayed us but, that doesn't mean I stopped caring. The hatch begins to close as Thomas continues screaming.
I touch my temple, the dizziness coming back as I fall on my back besides Thomas, causing Minho to let go of my shirt, I look to my side as Thomas turns his head, sadness evident in both of our faces. I hear mine and Thomas' name repeated over and over again before my eyes close and I can only think of one thing at this point.
Newt
. .......
I open my eyes slowly, a grin plastered on my face as I sit up. I reach my hand to my temple and feel no more blood, as if it had magically disappeared. My grin slowly fades as I look around, I am no longer on the berg, I am at our mini safe heaven before we could get the boat started.
