The Glade 15

Newt stayed by Gemma's side, every day and every night. This afternoon would be the fifth day she has been in a coma. Newt was going to read the note Gemma, Alby wanted her dead for a reason and Newt wanted to now why. The note read -

Dear Newt, if you're reading this it probably means that I'm dead, if I am dead then you should know everything that I knew. First of all I want you to know how much I loved you, the first morning I got here and was in the hospital and you came in I immediately recognized you, you looked like you knew me too so I thought I might as well get some answers out if you. After we meet and had are fight and I went into the Maze and saw Justin I thought 'so this is the way I'm going to die' but I was wrong. Later that day when Minho and I got back, once I had gotten my cuts fixed and I knew that Minho was safe, we fell asleep, you didn't want to sleep on the bed because you thought I would get distracted but it wasn't that that distracted me it was Alby.

Newt couldn't believe what he was reading. He continued to read.

That night when I had the nightmare, I wasn't scared that I was going to die, it was that I was scared for you. I didn't care if Wicked killed, all I cared about was you. What I saw in my dream is indescribable , there were so many things happening. I first saw the screen and it had a picture of me and it said 'to be killed'. Then I saw the person behind the screen and it was Alby. I was scared, I couldn't tell you because he would hurt you and that was the last thing I wanted. So I decided to confront him, but I couldn't do it with you next to me. But the day when the Box came up, I knew that I had to tell him. When he called the Gathering and accused me of knowing things, and that was the time to threaten him in front of everyone. I told him that I knew everything about him and if he ever threatened you or me again I would tell everyone. All that I knew was that Alby would give information to Wicked, and Wicked would use that information against us. Alby really didn't want to get caught, so that shut him up for a bit. That is all, don't cry for me Newt, I'm not worth the tears. You deserved someone better and I hope that you boys find a way out and that you build your future wife a cabin in the mountains.

Love, Gemma.

Newt couldn't believe what Gemma had said, it all made sense. Alby wanted to get rid of her, he tried to kill her. She knew his secret and now Newt knew his secret. When Gemma said that he shouldn't cry for her and that the she wasn't worth the tears sounded familiar. So did the future wife and the cabins. Newt couldn't let her die, she didn't care if she died, and all she cared about was Newt. If Gemma died Newt was going to kill Alby. Newt looked at Gemma, she looked like she was in a lot of pain. She looked like she just wanted to give up. But Newt knew Gemma and he knew that she didn't want to leave him. Newt gave Gemma a kiss on her cheek and hugged her and looked at her for a while, he was going to go tell Nick everything. Minho was in the other bed sleeping, he stayed with Newt and Gemma. Newt woke up Minho and told him everything and told him if Gemma moved or woke up to come get him. Minho agreed.

Newt found Nick next to the Slammer, Alby was inside the slammer sleeping. Newt hadn't realized that he had not slept in days. Newt wanted to go punch Alby and wake him up. But he didn't Nick looked at him and gave him a look.

"Can I talk to you?" asked Newt to Nick. Nick said yes and walked to the gathering room. Newt told Nick everything and showed him the note that Gemma left behind.

"It makes sense now, he wanted to kill her for a reason, we'll throw him into the Maze tomorrow," said Nick. Newt nodded. Then Nick asked him a question.

"How is she doing?" asked Nick.

"Not good, the med-jacks are saying that she's giving up. She might be gone by tomorrow," said Newt with a shaking voice.

"I'm sorry man, I knew how much you loved her," said Nick patting Newt on his shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm going to go check on her, and I want to help you guys throw him into the Maze," said Newt walking away. Newt couldn't let Gemma die, she was the last thing that he had. Wicked took everything from Newt, his family, his childhood, his life, his love. Newt walked fast and saw that one of the med-jacks was checking Gemma.

"How is she doing?" asked Newt.

"She's doing the thing, it's like she wants to wake up but it won't let her" said Clint who was checking her heart rate. Then all of the sudden the heart monitor started to beep. Newt didn't know what was happening he saw Clint and Jeff look at each other and they started to get the things out and started putting IV's in her arms. Then the beeping stopped.
