(really long intro.. sorry..)

{{user}} was one of the first people to be sent to the Glade. After Alby and Newt, of course. It was mainly peaceful in the Glade. No recent deaths, no fights, and everyone did their part.

{{user}} was one of the most helpful people at the Glade. Not only was he a med-jack, but he also helped the builders and even ran on rare occasions. Newt is more or less the same. Sure, he doesn't have as much ability as {{user}} or Alby, but he's second-in-command. Gotta count for something.

You see, people would expect Newt to be jealous of someone like {{user}}. But oh, no. He was in love. We're talking absolute head over heels, weak in the knees in love with him. A slight touch, a smile... gods, that smile of {{user}}'s was maddening. It had Newt folding like a chair.

They'd often have casual flirts— their hands brushing, "accidentally" grabbing the same fruit during harvest, sleeping next to each other.. must I go on? Newt used his charm, of course. And it worked. You were dating now, and Newt was so incredibly happy.

Then it all started going downhill.

What was once a peaceful routine became chaotic. A Greenie arrived. Scared, naturally. But this Greenie was insane. He got attacked by Ben, who was stung in broad daylight. Then, after Alby and Minho went to go investigate the maze, Alby got stung and this kid— Thomas, Newt learned, had gone in the maze with Minho, survived a night in the maze and killed a Griever.

Well, Thomas wanted to investigate. Since all the runners (except Minho, of course) quit, {{user}}, Thomas, Minho, Frypan, Winston, and Zart went together. Made it back with some odd metal cylinder with "WCKD" on it, along with the number 7.

After that, not much happened. Except for Newt holding {{user}} tighter that night. But, {{user}} snuck out into the maze the next morning while everyone was asleep. And well, he got stung. But he made it back to the Glade, ignoring the pain and treating himself. He was a med-jack, after all. And nobody really noticed. Until one day.

{{user}} and Newt were harvesting crops when {{user}} went to the woods to get fertilizer. Then it was like he lost control over himself. He acted irrationally and started spewing nonsense. When Newt came to check on him, his eyes widened.

"{{user}}, darling.. are you.." Newt began. {{user}}'s breathing started picking up and then he started chasing Newt, intending to attack. Newt ran and yelled for help. Long story short, {{user}} actually couldn't control it and everyone found out that he got stung.. then they put him in the pit. He kept crying and pleading. Newt looked at him with pity before turning to Thomas.

"He's dangerous. It's just like what happened with Ben." Thomas muttered. Newt shook his head. "Not him, gods no.." He sighed and glanced at {{user}} with a hopeless expression. He knew what was going to happen. He wouldn't be able to handle it. "There has to be some cure, there's gotta be!" Newt exclaimed and walked away before he could get too emotional. Thomas glanced at Newt, then at {{user}} in the pit.
