DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN CHARLOTTE.

I had my arms squeezed around my legs tightly, as more tears fell. I didn't hear the footsteps or him calling my name the only thing I felt was a hand being placed gently on my shoulder, I jumped back and saw Newt. He sat next to me and looked at me with sad eyes.

"What's up?" He asked softly. If he didn't trust me he was doing a brilliant job at hiding it.

"What? Oh, I'm fine," I stuttered he gave me a small smile that said 'you-ain't-fooling-me'. "No one trusts me."

"What? What do you mean?" He asked.

"Minho said no one trusted me here," I mumbled quietly hoping he hadn't heard.

"Minho? When did he turn into bloody Gally?" He said loudly and I felt a small smile threaten to arise so I bit my lip to stop it. "It's not illegal to smile, we may be in Hell, it doesn't mean we can't smile."

I smiled at him he patted my shoulder and stood, bringing me up with him. "Frypan makes the best bacon and I don't want to be left with the bloody leftovers," He made a face of complete disgust. I then realised how hungry I was I felt my stomach growl as I felt hunger drag it's nails in my stomach.

"Yeah," I said wiping away my tears. "I'm starvin'"

He chuckled and we walked towards the kitchens. "Oh, don't tell Frypan his food is actually good or he'll start boasting."

We sat on a table with Thomas, Chuck and Teresa the minute I set my tray down Teresa's face filled with worry. I sat between Chuck and Teresa and Newt sat himself next to Thomas

"Oh my god. Charlotte are you alright?" She turned her gaze to Newt her blue eyes turning icy as if she was looking at pure evil. "What did you say to her?"

Newt shot him hands up in defence. "Woah there Teresa, I didn't say a bloody thing," He said in a clear voice.

"Hey, shuckers and shuckett's," Minho said setting his tray next to Newt.

"We're not done here," Teresa said accusingly pointing at Newt. "What did you say to her? If you hit on her I will beat your ass up. I may be a girl but I can still punch and kick, even ask some of the boys who dared to go near me."

"Teresa, Isaac didn't say anything to me. He was the one who cheered me up," I made eye contact with Minho who quickly looked away. I went over what I had said. Isaac? Did I really call him that? His name was Newt not Isaac.

"Isaac?" Newt asked confused.

"Sorry...I...I'm not sure why I...Uh, called you that...sorry," I stuttered.

"It's fine, but call me Newt next time. Isaac is just bloody...weird," He said moving his hands around his head in a weird hand gesture that I had to bit my lip to stop a smile from breaking out.

Newt sighed. "Smiling isn't illegal Charlotte."

"I know," I sighed realising I had finished my bacon. I grabbed Teresa and Newt's plates carrying them back to Frypan.

"What'd ya think of my cooking Greenbean?" Frypan said when I reached him.

"It was really nice. Thanks Frypan," I said

He chuckled and I cocked my head to the side confused. "Your the first person to ever compliment my cooking," He said putting emphasis on the word ever.

"I'm Charlotte," I said not knowing if he knew my name.

"Nice to meet ya Charlotte. I'm Frypan." He shook my hand and I laughed.

"Is Frypan your real name?" I asked.

"No. If it was I'm pretty sure my parents or whoever would have hated me. Siggy's the name," He said.

"Nice to meet you, Siggy," I said giggling.

"Stop ya bloody flirting you have Job Trials," An accented voice sad from behind me.

"Sorry, Newt, I just couldn't help myself," Frypan said sarcastically throwing in a wink as well. I laughed and winked back.

"Come on, Shankett," Newt said dragging me towards the Gardens.

The day had gone pretty slowly the Track-Hoes were pretty boring if you ask me and Teresa had a mud fight and Zart forced Newt to take us away. We sat under a tree in the Deadheads and I managed to get some sleep.

^0^

I stood facing a man who looked like a Rat a snarl was smeared across him face. I then noticed I was wearing the same clothes I had woke up in the Med-jack Hut red long sleeved t-shirt that looked a little orange and black leggings. I saw a determined look in my eyes.

"You can't go I won't allow it," Ratman screamed.

"I don't care, you don't control me," I snarled.

"Fine, but if you do, we will kill him," He growled and I felt myself shrink back and he smirked a little, I couldn't let him win.

"I can warn him," I said refusing to back down.

"You're forgetting the fact that you won't remember any of this, how can you warn him when you don't even know what you're warning him about?" He said smirking.

"I can fight the Swipe. I know it's weaknesses," I said raising my voice.

His smirk shrunk a little but it didn't disappear. "Like I said it won't matter, you won't remember."

"I guess we'll just have to see which one of us is right," I said. I defiantly wasn't backing down. Especially not to a Rat.

He snarled again showing his teeth that made him look even more like a rat than I thought was possible as he brought his hand roughly against my cheek making me fall to the floor. My face felt as though it was on fire and I knew it'd bruise almost instantly, darkness started to flood my vision.

I didn't realise he had hit me so hard.

"Damn it Charlie," He mumled before shouting the last thing I ever wanted to hear instead of the Lift or the 'Box' as the boys liked to call it he shouted something very different. "Throw her in the Maze,"

I was trying to grasp at staying awake.

"I guess we will have to see which one of us is right."

Darkness consumed me.

^0^

I opened my eyes and was greeted by a close up of Minho's face.

"Sup, Shankett," He greeted.

"Would people stop calling me that," I grumbled. "So, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I want you to stay away from Newt," He said simply.

"What?" I said well some might say I screamed it but details don't matter.

"He has enough going on, especially after he jumped," His eyes widened and he clamped a hand over his mouth.

"What?" I said calmly. At least I thought it was calm. Other's might say screaming with wide eyes grabbing Minho by the shoulders and shaking him.

"Never mind, just pretend I never said anything," He said calmly. I let go of him and ran into the Deadheads for some alone time when I heard it. It was quite but I defiantly heard it. Quite sobbing, for some unknown reason I walked over to it. I walked up and saw Newt looking at his hands sobbing quietly.

"Newt?" I said his head automatically snapped up and turned to me.

"Hey, Charlie," He said smiling but his red eyes showed a different story. I sat down against the tree opposite him.

"Are you alright?" I asked him.

"I'm fine," He said. Liar.

"Are you sure? You seem a little-"

"I'm fine," He snapped but shook his head. "Sorry, but I'm fine."

"Minho told me. That you umm," I said softly and he looked down at his hands. "I just...I can't imagine how hard this must be for you without your family and you know friends." His head snapped up at the last part and I realised how bad that must have sounded. "I mean...you have friends...good friends but I mean...I'm not good at this but." I looked at the floor for a second then back at Newt who was looking at me up and down as if trying to figure out what I was saying or if I really meant any of it or messing with him. "I could be your friend." The truth was I liked Newt, he was the one person in the Glade I could call a friend he seemed to trust me and I just wanted him to see me as a friend too. "I'm just saying that...if you ever need anyone to talk to I'm here."

Newt looked at the floor as if unsure of what to say I had only just met him but I didn't care, Newt looked so unsure he had probably lost so many friends over the years his best friend was going through the Changing which looked like torture. He probably didn't even trust me yet.

"Charlotte..." He said in a small voice trailing off at the end.

I couldn't think of anything else to say other than: "Ok."

I started to stand but Newt lightly grabbed my arm. "I didn't mean that-"

"It's cool, Newt, it's cool," I said nodding and walking away I looked back at Newt who had tears in him eyes he blinked once then closed his eyes looking at the ground.

I had done the unthinkable. I had broken the already broken.

^0^

An hour had passed since I had seen Newt in the Deadheads everyone seemed to be panicking I saw Newt, Minho, Teresa and Thomas walk out of the Med-jack hut. They were probably visiting Alby. They went into the centre of the Glade, I walked over to them despite the awkward encounter with Newt.

"What's going on?" I asked. Everyone looked around I saw Newt check his watch with wide eyes.

"The doors," He said his voice raising. "Their not closing."

"Shuck," I muttered under my breath.

Tonight was going to be a long night.
