Chapter 12
A/N: Thank you to all of the readers that have stuck with me this far. Especially hi and Newtlover08 for their reviews. It really means a lot to me that you guys like it. I write this story for my own enjoyment, I'm really happy that other people are enjoying it as well. So, thank you again and please enjoy this chapter. It's for all you Newt lovers out there.
As you run, you hear footsteps behind you. You guess it's Newt when you hear the unevenness, it sounds like someone with a limp. Now, again, how do you know these things? It's frustrating and you almost scream out loud. Too many conflicting feelings are swirling around inside of you and it's building up, you feel like you might explode. Your heart is racing, but not from the running. Your mind is racing too and you need to sit down and calm down before pass out or go insane. You reach the Homestead and run inside. You rush up the stairs and go into the nearest empty room, closing the door behind you. You hear Newt yell up the stairs,
"Y/N! Wait!"
You lock the door and lean your back against it. You hear as Newt gets to the landing and reaches your door. He tries the handle and starts knocking when he can't get it open.
"Y/N? Y/N, come on, let me in!"
He keeps knocking and telling you to open the door. You slide on your back, down the door, until you're sitting on the floor staring at the window. You can't see anything, only the sky thanks to your angle. You suddenly realise what you can't believe you hadn't realised before; the sky was always the same, no clouds, the only difference would be the blackness of night. You squint up at it for a moment, unaware that you had distracted yourself and it was relieving and welcomed. Only when the pounding and demands to be let in stop do you come back to the real world, if you could even call it that, and the current situation.
Straining your ears, you hear Newt sit down with his back against his side of the door.
"Please, Y/N, I'm sorry. Just let come inside and tell it to your face."
You start to tear up before you say something you hope you won't regret, and hope won't ruin any chance you would've had with Newt,
"Why? So you can lie straight to my face again?"
You hear Newt groan in frustration as he picks himself up, you stand up too, your heart starts racing, you know you made a mistake. You hear him start to leave and you rush to unlock the door and step outside.
"Newt!" you call out.
He pauses, his foot already on the first stair down to the ground floor. He turns to look at you, his eyes filled with genuine sorrow and regret. It breaks your heart a bit to know that you did this to him.
Without thinking, without giving yourself even a millisecond to second guess yourself, you rush forward, take Newt's face in your hands, and kiss him.
You nearly knock him over and his eyes open wide with shock having not expected this, but he manages to round up his thoughts and regain his balance. He smiles and brings one of his hands up to the side of your face, closing his eyes, gently kissing you back. Your heart is racing with adrenaline and the second guessing kicks in, but it's too late now. You did it, and it looks as if it wasn't the wrong move to make.
You two finally break away from each other, and Newt looks at you with a smile and reddened cheeks. You're blushing as well and Newt opens his mouth as if he's about to say something when you both hear someone giggle. Quickly turning your head, you see that pudgy boy that Thomas always hangs out with.
"Chuck!" Newt sounds startled as he spots the young Glader.
Chuck turns to look out the front door as he yells, "Thomas, get in here! Y/N and Newt are kissing!"
Thomas hesitantly comes in; after seeing you and Newt with shocked and embarrassed faces, he grabs Chuck by the arm, smiles up at you and say, "Sorry, guys."
He turns to Chuck, "Come on." He quickly rushes out of the door, Chuck giggling all the while behind him.
You and Newt stare at where Chuck just was for a second before you both burst out laughing at the absurdity of the situation. After the two of you catch your breaths, Newt looks at you with his beautiful eyes and says, "Does this mean you forgive me now?"
You look at him for a bit before thinking, There is absolutely no way I can stay mad at someone like him forever.
"I guess," you smirk up at him but then get serious, "But you still need to tell me about that note."
"Whatever you want Love."
He leans over and kisses you again.
A/N: As you guys can see, I'm not good at writing this kind of thing. So, I would like one of you wonderful readers to help me and be my co-writer for this story, especially for the intimate scenes.
If you're interested, just PM me with how you would have written the scene between Y/N and Newt. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. I hope to hear from you all! Thanks!
