Train

by xNewtx

"He was so mean to me, and I didn't even realize what was happening until the last second—it was like a train slamming into my chest at full force, shattering my heart on impact and scattering useless emotions everywhere." Takes place a week or so after Thomas's arrival in the first book, but time is weird and Teresa comes in a lot later. Newt and OC relationship :)

37. All of Me

Newt leads my by my hand to the edge of the clearing.

"Close your eyes," he commands. "I want it to be a surprise."

I follow his instructions, shutting out my vision. I feel Newt's arm around me, guiding me forward, and we walk a small distance before stopping.

"Okay," I hear him say. "You can open your eyes now."

I open my eyes and gasp. Towering in front of me is a tall, sturdy-looking rock structure, reaching an altitude higher than the surrounding trees.

"Whoa," I breathe, its sheer hugeness baffling me.

"Ready to go up?" he asks with a grin.

"We can go on top!?" I'm unable to keep the excitement out of my voice.

"Yep. Ladies first," he grins and gestures to the side of the structure, which is composed of multiple ledges and looks relatively easy to climb.

I place one foot on the lowest ledge and use my arms to hoist myself up to the next level with Newt following close behind. Minutes later, we lay side by side on the flat top of the rock, which is surprisingly comfortable.

"This is amazing," I tell him, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Yeah. I found it a year or so ago, and you're the only other person I brought up here."

"I'm honored." I kiss his cheek.

"You know, the main reason I took you up here is so we can see the stars," he admits, tilting my chin up with his free hand.

My eyes focus on the sky, and I gasp. The Creators must have decided to be extra nice tonight, because the sky is covered in gorgeous twinkling stars and constellations. It's so beautiful, I'm speechless.

"They remind me of you," he says almost inaudibly. "Mostly your eyes."

I look up at him, smiling uncontrollably.

"They're still not as beautiful as you, though," Newt whispers, and I lean upwards to plant a long kiss on his lips.

When we finally pull apart, we share the same lovestruck smile. It almost feels unreal.

"Do you want me to sing?" he asks quietly, still sounding a little embarrassed.

"I'd love it," I reply, and he takes a deep breath.

He starts off quietly, staring at the stars as he sings a slow, beautiful tune.

What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawing me in, and you kicking me out.

I smile at Newt as a bit more confidence enters his voice, which is beautiful.

You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down.

What's going on in that beautiful mind?

I'm on your magical mystery ride.

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright.

Newt sees my smile, which makes him fully confident. His voice is strong as he continues to sing.

My head's under water

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh.

Newt's beautiful song makes my heart soar. He's amazing, and I can tell that every word he sings is truth.

How many times do I have to tell you

Even when you're crying you're beautiful too

The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood

You're my downfall, you're my muse

My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

Newt stands up and reaches out a hand, and I laugh as he pulls me up into a standing position and sings to me.

My head's under water

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

Newt slowly rocks back and forth as he sings the chorus again, and I wrap my arms around his neck. We begin to slow dance to his beautiful music.

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh.

Newt twirls me around before grabbing both of my hands in his and pulling me closer to him.

Give me all of you

Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts

Risking it all, though it's hard

When he sings the chorus again, I sing with him, knowing I'll never forget the words.

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you

Tears come to my eyes as Newt wraps his arms around my waist and sings the final chords quietly.

I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh.

We stand silently for a moment with our foreheads pressed together. Then I kiss Newt, hugging him tighter than I thought possible.
"I love you so much," I say after pulling away, tears still welling in my eyes.

"I love you too," he smiles, gently wiping a tear from my cheek and leaving a smudge of dirt from his thumb.

"Did you write that yourself?" I ask. "It was so beautiful."

"Yeah," he admits. "I started writing it about you a few days after you came to the Glade, once I realized I was in love with you. I just finished it the day I got stuck in the buggin' Maze, so I planned the picnic."

"It's the best thing that anyone's ever done for me. Thank you so much," I tell him sincerely, and he beams.

"You deserve it."

I don't know how long we stay up on the rock, just looking at the stars and talking. It's the most amazing night of my life, and I know that if I could, I would stay up here forever.
"NEWT!" An unrecognizable voice echoes through the clearing, startling both of us.

We stay fearfully silent as the crazy-sounding voice continues to call Newt's name. The person seems to be getting increasingly agitated.

Then someone appears at the base of the rock, holding a torch and looking extremely angry. I don't realize who it is at first, but when I do, my heart speeds up with fear.

It's Alby, and he looks absolutely insane.

A/N:

(Prepare yourself, this is a long one.)

AWWW! KEWT!

Alright guys, another super long fluffy chapter, and I admit it was kind of a filler. But it's the last one-danger is coming, don't worry!

I decided to do use All of Me as the Kewt song, because I listened to it when I wrote this and thought "ooh this is a good one!" XD I'm also gonna use Hear You Me in the epilogue, because it was so amazing (thanks softball007!)

Okay, you guys are lucky!

I'm doing a SYOC, and it's going to be a part of this fic!

So here's how it will work:

I can only accept one-female-character, maaaaybe two if I can't decide, but you can submit as many OCs as you want. She'll play a big part in the story and be used a lot in the later chapters. It would be nice if you could base her on yourself, or contrast her from the other Gladers.

For instance, the Gladers are all nice, for the most part, so you could make her hostile. Or it could be physical properties that contrast-few Gladers are redheads, so you could make her have red hair and green eyes, or something along those lines. Or just base her personality on your own, to the best of your ability.

I need all submissions either this week or next week, because the OC will come into the story soon. I'll accept some late submissions if they're good enough.

Here's a tentative form. Things with * before them are optional, but all information is preferred.

Name:

*Historical figure that name is based on:

*Nickname, and if they like it or not:

Job in the Glade:

Height:

*Weight (approximate!):

Body type (skinny, slim, athletic, curvy, overweight, muscular, etc.):

Eye color:

*Skin tone:

*Any prominent physical features or flaws (freckles/moles/scars/tattoos/other distinguishing marks):

*Face shape (round, oval, chubby, thin, long, square, etc.):

Clothing style, please be as specific as possible (sexy, gaudy, sloppy, etc.):

*Examples of outfits they would wear:

*Any special jewelry/clothing items that are always worn, and if so, why:

Hair color:

Hair style (long, short, crew cut, bangs, side-part, etc.):

*Hair texture (thick, thin, wiry, smooth, wavy, curly, nappy, etc.):

Friends in the Glade (no romantic relationships; I have something planned *laughs evilly*):

General attitude and personality, especially towards other people (friendly, hostile, etc.)(be specific!):

*Favorites (foods, people-or types of people, etc.):

*Any other things about them:

Okay, I know that was pretty long, but you don't have to fill out anything you don't want to or are uncomfortable with, and I tried to give as many examples as possible :) It's a lot of requested information, but I need to have a mental picture of the character, and the more information means I'm more likely to pick your OC just because I know more about them. (I know, I don't give very much info about the other characters, but you all know what the book characters look like and I want you to kind of base Kelly off of yourself as you read.)

I'll PM you if I need more info, and I'll post the chosen character(s) in one of the A/Ns of the upcoming chapters.

I'm pretty sure no one will actually do it, but I decided to put it up, because why not? If no one fills it out, I'll just make up an OC.

Sorry for the long A/N, people who are here just to read! This is literally longer than some of the chapters in this story...

Thanks Train Riders! ILY GUYSSS!

(If you actually read this all, I love you, but you need a hobby XD)
