Sad Newt (Maze Runner)
Summary
Life felt like death. By all means, he was alive, but without Newt beside him, he was dead inside. What was life without him?When violently thrust back in time to the Glade, Thomas realises three things. One: Everyone was alive. Two: He was going to save them, save them all. Three: Newt looked good. Like, really good.But he didn't like Newt. Not like, like. definitely not, like, like...Thomas is engaged in a race against time, fighting to keep them, and himself alive. And fighting for his love.Harbouring a crush (it's just a crush, totally) is a little difficult while fighting off what feels like the entire universe.Okay, really difficult.
Note
I'll have the bits from the movie - yes, this is from the movie - exactly correct, I'll tweak a bit, but I'll stay as on track as I can.
clarifications - not a chapter

CLARIFICATIONS:
1) I do not own The Maze Runner. That part is pretty obvious.
2) I’m not going to follow canon for everything. I’m using the main idea, and then I’ll change some events, and those obviously have a butterfly effect, so don’t expect it to stay the same.
3) Don’t hate on this for petty reasons. I accept constructive criticism, but I once got a comment saying that the story is shitty because ‘*** isn’t gay.’ Yeah, that’s why it’s called a FANFICTION, not canon. Deal with it.
+Newt is gay, look at the tweets James Dashner posted. And IDGAF if Thomas isn’t, honestly. I really don’t care if he ‘liKeS tErEsa’ or some shit. So don’t mention it. Plus, bisexuality, stupid. Pansexuality. Omnisexuality. Just let Thomas vibe with it, OK?
