A.N.:This is a treat since it was Christmas and it's new year. (Happy new year, btw ^^) And I should be studying.
Chapter 28:
Emma stood there as she watched Minho and Bem leave to run the maze. Her mind was filled with what had happened moments ago and if that meant that they were toghether now, like a couple. The thought caused her stomach to be filled with the what so called butterflies.
"Whatching the boyfriend leave?" she heard a voice that made her turn to look at the recently arrived boy.
"Chuck… You scared me." She told him. "He is not my boyfriend."
"He is. It's just that you both don't know it yet." Chuck pointed while Emma's mind agreed.
"How was your first night kid?" she asked changing the subject.
"Don't tell the other boys, I was sacared." The small boy confessed.
"It's okay." Emma conforted him "I still am a little bit scared. I even think that brave Minho is scared sometimes. Even Gally and Alby."
"I don't think so." Chuck pointed looking to the place where Minho and Bem left.
"Being scared and affraid is only human. They're humans. They might just hide it behind those big muscles." Emma stated causing Chuck to smile at her. "Anyway, what are you doing today?"
"I'm supposed to try out the diferente jobs." He answered. "Alby said I start with the builders, but I don't think that Gally likes me very much."
"Gally doesn't like anyone, Chuck." Emma pointed.
"It's just that yesterday at the party I may have have pushed his chair when he was about to sit. He fell and for the way he looked at me I thought he was going to kill me."
"Did you pull a prank on him?" Emma asked raising na eyebrow. "Well done Chuck, that takes some bravery to do."
Chuck smiled at the comment and both took seperate parts since they had jobs to do.
Emma didn't think that Chuck would fit in the builders, she honestly didn't know what where he was going to fit, but he was a sweet boy that made her laugh and she was glad that she had him in the maze.
"Emma." Newt was waiting for her at the hut.
"Newt, is everything okay?" she asked examining the boy. "Is your leg okay?"
That moment her eyes laid on his arm. Blood streming down a deep cut covered with a white towel.
"I fell with a knife on my hands. It was stupid." The blonde explained rolling his eyes.
She took him to the bed where Minho sat this morning and took the towel from Newts arm to clean the wound.
"This might hurt a litte." The brunette informed while she worked on his cut. "I'm going to stitch your arm up."
Emma took what she needed from the cabinet and applied a numbing cream around the wound so it wouldn't imply a lot of pain.
Newt flinched when the needle pierced his skin but then he kept his posture.
"Are you okay?" he asked looking at Emma whose eyes didn't lift from the wound.
"Why shouldn't I?" she asked remembering the state he found her in that morning.
"You know why." Newt stated raising na eyebrow. "If they keep goin, you might have to talk to Alby."
"No." Emma said looking up at him. "They're just dreams."
Newt looking into her eyes, but said nothing.
Emma finished patching up the wound and then bandaging his arm.
"Done." The brunette informed pursing her lips.
The blonde boy thanked her but did not move, it was obvious that he wasn't there just because of his cut.
"What?" she asked cleaning the materials she just used.
"I don't think they're just dreams. And neither do you." Newt stated getting on his feet.
Emma didn't answer him, she just continued to get her work done.
"You have to talk to Alby, Emma. It might lead to a way out." Newt insisted in a urgent voice.
"If I knew the way out I would have already gotten us all out of here." The girl stated with a sigh.
"But if you're starting to remember things you might remember it someday." He said.
"God Newt. They're just dreams about a boy and a girl! How will they take us out from this maze? Tell me Newt." Emma asked him losing a bit of her temper.
Newt let out a small sigh that nearly broke Emma's heart. Her having some memories back had given him hope, and that's something that most of the Gladers had already given up on.
"We don't remember anything Emma. I don't. Nobody does. You're getting something there." Newt spoke calmly "Please…"
"I'll try Newt. I'll try to get us out." she promised. "But I won't talk to Alby until I have something in concrete."
Newt's arms reached for her shoulders pushing Emma into na unexpected hug.
