Newt P.O.V
The world constantly changes around me. One minute I'm surrounded by thick, dark ink that moves sluggishly around me. Making my body numb and my mind hazy. The next I'm stuck in heat to rival the sun. Every nerve receptor in my body is on fire and my mind is burning.
Occasionally I find a happy medium. This is where I see the memories. I see the girl. She's always with a blonde boy. I've never seen what I look like but I think it's me.
In one we're walking through the long corridors of some kind of compound. She's telling me about an annoying girl in her dorm. Memory me doesn't catch the name, he's too focused on how her lips form different words. He particularly loves the way her lips form his name. She shakes her head and declares him hopeless. If only she knew.
In another one we are sitting on a couch watching a movie. Others surround us. I notice Alby, Minho, and Ben. All the Gladers and about as many girls are seated on couches around us. She leans on my shoulder, half asleep. The movie ends and memory me shakes her awake. We make our way back to, somewhere. The memory wipe keeps details from me.
More memories flash by, the girl and I eat lunch in a cafeteria. We run in the rain holding hands. I brush the hair away from her face while she works on a computer. Our interactions suggest that we're dating, but in my hallucination she called me her best friend.
After some time, I become aware. I know my eyes are closed but I can see the whole room. I see her, again this time she doesn't say anything, she just meets my eyes and smiles. I try to say something, anything but my tongue feels swollen and awkward in my mouth. All I can do is make awkward noises at her. As irrational as it sounds, I pray I don't sound stupid to her.
After an indeterminable amount of time, she speaks. "You're getting better now Newt, I can't stay much longer. I must leave you." This idea horrifies me so much that I force my swollen, bloated tongue to form words. "No, Marie" somehow I know her name "don't leave me." This effort alone exhausts me enough to send me back to that inky darkness again.
Just before the darkness claims me, I hear her respond. "I'll always be here Newt. You may not see me but I'll always be here.
Sorry for the short chapter but I have writers block
