I'm so sorry! I posted Chapter 4 and it was all done and okay but then being the idiot I am, I accidentally took it off and deleted it. Moving on...thanks for all the reviews! They're super helpful! On to the story now...
"What the hell was that?" I muttered after rushing out of the Med-hut. After pinning my hair back and wiping away all my tears, I ran to find Newt. He was next to the Homestead talking to a distraught Alby and a furious Gally. To make matters worse, as I got closer to the three, an alarm sounded.
"Shit," I muttered and followed the other Gladers to the Box. It was the Greenie alarm.
"Newt! I thought that once a month a Greenie came, not once a day! What the hell is going on?" I yelled. Newt only shook his head and reached down to pull open the box. Alby glanced at Newt, and then back at me, and jumped into the Box.
"It's a girl."
Alby had ordered all of us except for Newt and I to leave. Jumping into the Box, I saw the new Greenie crying, her beautiful blonde hair ragged and knotty. She sobbed and sobbed and sobbed.
"Shh, it's alright. Can you tell me your name?" I asked, placing myself next to her. I could hear Alby and Newt whispering as they peered at the two boxes that had come up with her.
"No! I can't remember anything," the girl said between sobs. I had to admit; she was absolutely gorgeous with her big blue eyes, full red lips, and curvy form. Shaking my girly thoughts from my mind, I managed to persuade her to come out of the Box and into the kitchen. Alby took it from there.
"What's going on, Newt?" I asked after we had left the kitchen and arrived at our room. Our room. Awkward...
"I don't know," he whispered. He was second-in-command and an important figure in the Glade, but after almost two years, he had figured out nothing. Sighing, I moved forward and hugged him without a word. After a few seconds, I felt his arms move and wrap around me too.
I was finishing up my last trial with, ugh, Gally when I saw Ben running up to me with a grim face. I dropped my hair and ran to meet him.
"What's wrong?" I asked, frowning and pursing my lips.
"The she-bean, she remembered her name. It's Rosa," he said.
"And?"
"There's something else, Lizzy. She said that...um, she said something about how her being here was your fault."
I stormed into the Med-hut, a weary Ben behind me, and ran right up to that bitch's face. Newt and Alby turned around and held me back.
"Oh, so you think this is my fault!" I almost screamed as I fought against Newt and Alby.
"Calm down, Lizzy!" Newt yelled and wrapped me up in his arms.
"Get off of me," I snarled and pushed Newt away. He gave me a sad expression but let me be.
"What the hell is your problem?" Rosa screeched as she hid behind Alby. That stupid coward.
"You think that I like being here? YOU THINK THAT I WOULD BE CRUEL ENOUGH TO DO THIS TO THESE PEOPLE!" I screamed. Ben wrapped his arms around my waist and carried me out of the Med-hut. I couldn't find the strength to fight him.
"Lizzy, breathe," Ben said, placing an arm around my shoulder and sitting me down on an old log. Obeying him, I slowly let out an angry long breath.
"I'm sorry I over reacted," I said and put my head in my hands. I could feel Ben's hands rubbing my shoulders, but I made no move to acknowledge them. This day had just been total bullshit and I was ready to collapse.
Darkness. Oh shit! I opened my eyes to see a skinny women in a white lab coat staring at me.
"Ah, so you're awake. I'll go get Ms. Paige," she said and left the room. What the hell? I sat up and saw I was wearing a soft grey shirt and black pants. I flinched as a cold looking woman appeared with her hair pulled back into a bun and a blue suit adoring her small frame.
"Bitch! You! You took him away from me," I snarled and pounced at her. I guess she was expecting that because she easily sidestepped and jammed a needle into my neck. I tried to fight her but I was already starting to close my eyes.
"Hey, wake up," I heard someone say. Groggily, I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Newt. I opened my eyes to see Ben staring at me with his wide blue eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked and slipped on my black combat boots and grey jacket.
"Nothing. I just thought you might want to eat breakfast together and hang out. Today's my day off, so some of us are going swimming. You should come," he gave me a comforting smile, and I nodded.
"I'll meet you in the kitchen in ten," I said. Ben nodded and left my room. I turned to see that Newt had already left and was probably also eating in the kitchen. I had to apologize to him immediately. I showered quickly and changed into a black sweater, black leggings, and black combat boots. Believe me, I'm not depressed. I just have absolutely no clue in what to wear and stuff like that. Jogging to the kitchen, I grabbed a plate from Frypan and sat down next to Ben.
"So, you're job is going to be chose today," Ben grinned. "You seem like a great Slopper."
"Haha, so funny," I nudged him in the shoulder and stuck my tongue out. He laughed and nudged me back.
"Lizzy, a word?" I heard Newt say and turned around to face him. Blushing, I got up and followed him outside.
"What's gotten into you?" he said almost harshly.
"Newt, lay off, okay," I snapped.
"No! I will not "lay off!"he spat back. "Gosh, you're bugging crazy. Do not talk to me like that!"
"Like what! Like a normal person! You're SECOND-IN-COMMAND! NOT THE FUCKING PRESIDENT!" I yelled back.
"SHUT UP, OKAY! SHUT UP!" Newt screamed.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed right back and shoved him. His face was red as he grabbed my shoulders and shook me.
I jumped away as I heard someone say, "Hey! Get off of her!" I almost screamed when I saw Ben rush forward and tackle Newt to the ground.
"Shit!" I yelled, rushing forward and pulling Ben off of Newt before he could punch Newt again. Well, this day had started off well. Newt managed to get up and walk off.
"You okay?" Ben asked, panting a bit. Newt had put up a good fight, I had to admit. I nodded and sighed as Ben pulled me into a hug. I was too pissed off to resist.
After swimming with Ben, Jeff, and Bill, I felt much more relaxed and calm. Since I was still soaking wet, I slipped on one of Ben's huge t-shirts and some tennis shoes before running to lunch. Frypan was serving chicken and mashed potatoes, and I ate eagerly. The day was just starting to look a hell of a lot better when of course, the Greenie alarm started to ring.
"Shit," I muttered before running after Ben and the other Gladers to the Box. I saw Alby open it and jump inside, closely followed by Newt. As I pushed my way to the front of the crowd, I gasped. It was another girl.
