~Y/N POV~
I awake to a hand covering my mouth. Swiftly I jolt up, and punch the shank in the stomach. They flinch and I meet their eyes. It's Newt. I open my mouth to apologize or just say anything, but I'm left with nothing. He lifts a finger to his lips, and motions with the other for me to follow him. I comply, and slowly get up. He walks at a steady pace, but I am still a while behind him. I break into a jog "Newt where are we going?" "I want to show you something, just trust me. By the way your very strong" "I'm sorry about that, but thanks and okay" I comply, uncertain and apologetic . He leads me to a clearing in the woods. Every once in a while glancing back to be sure I'm still following. We enter an almost perfect circle in the trees, when he stops and takes a seat. He looks back at me then to the ground, inviting me. I accept and sit next to him, meeting his eyes. "I come here to think, it's beautiful right?" "why are you showing me this?" "just thought if you ever wanted space you could come here" "oh, that's very sweet, thank you" "anyway onto a more serious note, I talked to the Gladers. They agreed never to make you uncomfortable, or treat you like less. You don't have to be afraid of them anymore, they'll respect you. You have the right to chose any one of us if you want, non of us will force you into it. But of course I know that's the least concern, I just want you to know your protected." I stare at him in absolute shock. "Thank you, that's incredible. Thank you" he looks at the ground for a moment then lifts his eyes to mine again. "Of course, you didn't deserve that. They knew better." I smile, blushing like crazy. I can't believe he did that for me. He seems to notice my flushed state, as he chuckles slightly. I look away, finding anything to look at so he won't see my face. I hope he doesn't suspect anything, please don't suspect anything. I hear him move slightly then feel his hand under my chin. He gently pulls my face towards his.
