the glade needed you, you were basically the glue keeping everyone and everything together. always taking care of everyone, being the only female in the glade. yes, it had its ups and downs, but at least every newbie knew not to bother you, since newt was always with you. the second-in-command.. you two weren't even dating. not yet, anyways. but some of the gladers always say that it'll happen soon enough.

right, soon enough..

you two were already like a married couple, always cuddling and acting clingy, always there for eachother. it wasn't rare whenever the greenies mistook you two for a couple. it wouldn't even be too far off from the truth, with those forehead kisses you always got from newt after coming back, exhausted and panting from your little maze run. then you'd take a shower, newt keeping guard outside of the building or whatever it was supposed to be. just to make sure no one walked in on you, of course. and, then there he was, walking you to your hut, smiling, with his arm around your shoulders. acting a bit too friendly, yes, but there wasn't any harm in that, was there? no. not at all. not ever.

he was always there for you. even in your worst moments, like yesterday, you got drunk at the bonfire, celebrating the new greenie's arrival - thomas'.

not that you remembered much, you just knew that you woke up, newt sitting on the floor next to your bed, looking at the pretty sunset. you hadn't even realized that you were wearing his jacket - he most likely gave it to you last night, just incase you got cold or something. he was being a worry wart, but it wasn't like he could help it when you were out there last night, mumbling and slurring your words, stumbling and tripping over each tiny sand molecule.

you let out a small groan, shifting in the bed. that was when newt finally noticed you woke up. he turned around, smiling at you.

how dare him have such a distracting face? the audacity...

"good morning, sleeping beauty," he teased, looking at you with a small grin plastered on his face.
